I just purchased the 6 Grand Touring; replaced the stock air filter with a K&N Filter and used 89 oct. gas. These two changes caused the engine to add 150 rpm at idle; add 300 rpm to the rev range in 3rd 4th and 5th gear before shifting out. My 0-60 mph time is now 6.4 sec. who'd a thunk it

I call this model the 2-second Maserati; when you see it on the road, you initially think it's a Maserati. It is a beautiful design.

You'd rather have satellite radio and not blind spot sensors? Where are YOUR priorities? You can pop in a CD or plug your phone in, but it'll cost a hell of a lot more to get your car fixed when you don't see that car coming and you change lanes.

Shit man, it's his opinion. Satellite radio is a must-have for many people and they don't want to go to the top-of-the-line trim level. Also blind spot monitoring is for people who can't drive. Its not hard to check your blind spots, people need to stop relying on this tech to steer you back in a lane, or brake for you when a pedestrian steps out, or to parallel park for you. If you can't do those tasks on your own, you should NOT have your license.

Brandon Friesen I can drive without all the tech that people want these days, and quite well. However, the technology that this in cars these days can be useful when you may accidentally lose concentration and you drift out of your lane. Now, don't get me wrong, I like his reviews, but it irks me how nit-picky he is. Every single car he reviews, he always calls out the manufacturer for not making the glove compartment better. Honestly, I could care less whether my car's glove compartment is damped, lined with felt, of big. I am not buying this car for the glove box, I am buying it for the space and the handling. Yes, it is his opinion to have radio over safety features, but if you'd rather have the radio, then you have no choice but to get a higher trim level. If you don't want to shell out the extra cash for it, then you should find a different car with everything you want for a low price.

Nicholas P I do agree, he is super picky. Its a terrible car if the dashboard has the wrong graining. Anyways, to me, all these driving technologies are good. My grandmother can't back up and yea a backup camera and parking sensors would be good for her. But you shouldnt depend on technologies to do your job as a driver. One day, it'll all go wrong(especially on Fords these days) and there will be a BIG crash.

A friend of mine just bought a used 2015 Mazda6 Grand Touring. What a nice car for the money! He wanted me to drive it, and I have to say that I'm very impressed with this car. It felt like a car costing twice as much in my opinion. That was my first impression after one 10 minute drive anyway. I think it's a great looking car. That's incredible that it gets 28 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway with a 6 speed automatic. Nice review as well by the way.

I currently own one of these in a stunning dark blue metallic in the Sports trim. Excellent to drive and very decent on fuel.

Excellent review, and I'm glad you focused quite a bit on the manual transmission for us stick drivers. I definitely hope Mazda makes the stick available in higher trim packages and offers a sportier engine in the future.

First of all, we have roads with speed limits of 80 mph in some places of the US. That would be the same as having a road with a speed of 129 km/h. Even with the "standard" speed limit in the US of 70 mph, most people will drive 75mph. The police know this, and are comfortable allowing someone to do this speed. Here's the question. At those speeds, are you going to have enough power in your vehicle to maneuver out of a bad situation? Not all situations can be prevented by braking, as some times you need to step on the gas and get out of the way of an idiot. That, my dear compadre, is why we need the power. Other countries don't drive as fast, because they are very small in size compared to the US.

Excellent review and the improvements are much appreciated! Definitely my pick that could handle the daily commute during the week and move the family on the weekends with some fun. For me, suspension and steering feel in a reliable package is king and this one seems to have it. Would like a sunroof and satellite option in the touring package though.

I just got a 2015 with the Manual cause I prefer it. I'm gonna do an AEM Cold Air Intake and an exhaust eventually.

Excellent review Sofyan! It's amazing to see how much your videos have progressed since last summer!

Okay, Originally I started watching 2theRedline because the car reviews were great. Now I watch them for reviews like this because the introductions are amazing, and the video quality is fantastic. Thank you Sofyan and 2theRedline team!

Sofyan, another great review. You are easy to follow, because after a few reviews the viewer knows what you like. Your context is consistent, so the viewer gets good info even if it's not your type of car. Tested the 6. Easily "Most Improved". I was amazed.. quicker, SMOOTHER, and still corners like a biyatch. I'll think about a 6 for my 70th birthday next Year... if they fork over some boost.

Definitely one of the best looking designs I've seen in a while for the segment and of course being a Mazda it will be fun to drive and reliable. The thing is though there should have been a V6 option. Good fuel economy can be achieved with a V6 too plus they operate much smoother than any 4 cylinder I've driven.

If it says use premium use it, as with all synthetic fluids. FORD ecoboost motors are excellent btw.

What an awesome review.. You nailed all the important features and information I was looking for. I've looked at about 20 different reviews on youtube and yours has all the relevant and important information all others seemed to have missed. Yes, the Mazda6 will be my next car.

A couple of corrections. 1.The last model (2009-2012) was not shared with the Fusion and was made in Japan. 2.The last model started in 2009, not 2010 as stated. 3.The Mazda "grin" was hardly present at ALL on the last generation 6 and it continues to be a head-turner in black. I know, because I have a black 2011 Mazda6 and still love it.

I am a big fan of your reviews..I watch almost every car reviews you posted on KZread .describing everything very well...thank you so much for your all reviews...keep posting... you are really talented on this segment

Sofyan, awesome review. Hope you get a 9th gen Accord 6spd to review and compare it to the Mazda 6. Nice if you also compare the Accord to the ILX. I was contemplating between the 3 and settled for the Accord. In Honda I trust through the long haul and the ILX was a little more than my budget but what a fun sports luxury sedan. Glad to see Kia and Hyundai come out with the new model sports sedan forcing Honda and everyone else compete to make all new designs sportier and fun.

You are the best reviewer of cars on KZread! Keep up the fantastic work.

Actually having just bought a 2014 Mazda6 GT and trading in my V6 Mazda6s, the car is quite quick. What people don't realize is the lower curb weight and 30 percent increased torsional rigidity compared its predecessor. They also have a class-leading 0.26 coefficient of drag. Plus, all the national car mags have this car as their top family sedan. (Car&Driver named it one of their top cars of the year)

6:19 whole bunch of NAVI sounds so funny

Nice review but concerning what you said about the rear view camera, I believe that the beeping sensors are an unneeded luxury. My Subie has rear view (without the sensors) and I can't see my life being affected at all with the sensors. It's just not needed, the bare camera and lines are useful enough.

Got the 2015 2 weeks ago for $18,900. Sport edition. 5 year (unlimited mileage) warranty + 5 year roadside assistance. 20,000 km free service. What a gorgeous car! Pretty, elegant & so much fun to drive. Everything is in the right place. Engineered with love and I feel it was made with end consumer in mind. Thank you, Mazda team!

I know you guys are trying to keep on improving the professionalism of your reviews, but I honestly prefer the old style of filming and recording in general. Especially during the test drives where the camera in pointed right in front of the dash and steering wheel. I also prefer the point of view camera when entering inside the car, makes you feel as if you were actually in it. The audio was also much more immersive. Now it's a bit muted, it's a harder to hear the engine noise. Anyways, great reviews as usual.

How many miles do you have? My dad is looking for a midsize sedan. He likes the Passat, Fusion and 6. Good idea on babying it. Break-ins can be a nightmare(can't use cruise control, can't do high revs, can't do full throttle accelerations etc.) but they will pay off when your motor runs 100% every day. I had a friend who had a 2011 Civic Si. He thought the break in period was irrelevant and was done at the factory so he didn't have to worry despite the dealer warning him. He revved the nuts off it all the time. After 6 months, he had 11,000 miles on it and it started burning oil, knocking on idle, and took multiple seconds to crank. Now? Its in the junk yard. Poor thing couldn't cope.

Like the Maserati or Jaguar curves in this car. Mazda is finally making something awesome.

Good job on the review Sofyan! You should make the intro to the newer car reviews more like this one. If you find a (04-13) Toyota Matrix Xr or Xrs would you plz do a review of it!

Nice video editing! Great review too

Good review, aside from that really irritating tech music in the background up to around the 10 minute mark. It sort of ruins an otherwise decent review.

The reason for the nav button is there is an sd card with the tomtom navigation as an accessory from the mazda dealership.

i have driven the whole 2014 lineup of Mazdas , i bought my 2010 Mazda 3 Sport GT with comfort Pack leather heated seats brand new and its been well over 3 years since i have had it and the smiley face don't bother me one bit the drive and handel of the car is amazing and i still love my car , the all new mazda 6 is such an awesome car all the way around and when it comes to driving it WOW it blows me away , if you go with the GT Tec pack auto you got a sport button witch gives you more zoom for your buck the guy never brought that up . Mazda makes one heck of a car i tell you .

omg your rant about the nav this why i love these reviews u do!

we traded ours in for a van and i really wish we had ours still. Love this car and gas mileage

luv the body style. Wish it had more HP

Kudos to you Mazda for going on your own and making an excellent vehicle.

Man, the new 6 is nice, I love the fact that you can still get a sedan with a stick in the US that's not a BMW. And the MPG on sticks, the ratings say one thing but notice what he said, getting the rated 25, and is a new test car so it's likely the engine isn't broken in, WITH a heavy foot. Looks like it'll still be the same case that just driving on a normal daily basis it'll still match or beat the auto, as seems to be the case with the two new cars I've test drove, (veloster turbo, and an FR-S) Wish I could buy one without putting myself at stupid debt to income level, college is so expensive.

This car looks actually really good, good job mazda 😉

love the new format guys

Here in Toronto, the price of the 2014 *Mazda6 GX 2.5L* and the 2014 *Civic Si* are approximately the same ($30,000 on the road). Which car would you choose and why?

Thank you for your in depth review !!!

after driving the corolla 6 speed i test drove the 2016 mazda 6 6 speed was quick shifting than corolla and clutch and the shifter feels really different

Excited to see how the mazdaspeed 3 will look like. Mazda is definitely headed the right direction delivering great fuel economy and sporty premium feeling rides. Any speculations on when they will show the speed3?

why are we still seeing buttons, physical nobs and static odometer and RPM dials in cars? put 2 or 3 screens with the main one being a 15+ inch flat screen display in the dash for the info-com-control system and call it a day. knobs and dials are so last year. with a screen you can customize it how every you want, and you can upgradable the look.

When Fusion shared the Mazda 6 chassis, and power plants their reliability was top-notch, now that it's based on the Mondeo, reliability has taken a dump!

This new design of the mazda 6 looks nice

Its really funny to see how does the US version differ from the UK versions - All models in the UK come with e-loop - UK doesn't have a grand tourer model We have SE , SE nav , SE-L , SE-L NAV and sport nav - UK already has a 2.2 Diesel
