I'm not a Mazda fan boy,but I have to admit this is the best non luxury midsize sedan in the market today.

turbocharged strong torque and smooth driving, it's hard to have both, Mazda did it, well done.

Yes but don't forget displacement effect. it produces same amount of power while rivals produces with 2.0 liters engines.

I test drove the GT at my local dealer today, no turbo lag and plenty of power. Best driving experience and interior styling in its segment imo.

Very fast but super upscale and quiet!!! Was doing 104mph on the way to work today and didnt even know it!!!

Loved your review. Love the details and impression and your thoroughness. Keep up the great job! And, I'm LOVING the new 6!

First video of yours I’ve ever seen and dude killer review! Just subbed keep it up brother!

Got to test drive a Signature last night before seeing your video. My reaction was exactly the same. It's so much smoother and torquey than I expected. Very hard to describe but definitely a blast to drive.

I had 2009 Mazda6 V6 GT and currently drive 2014 GT model. I can't wait to get this new one next year. Mazda6 with little refresh/upgrade looks so much better than the new Accord and new Camry put together.

Wow one of the very first 2.5t Mazda 6 reviews on KZread . Cool.That torque is amazing! Wish they offered AWD on this would sell better in the snow belt and Canada.

Awesome. Having been an owner of 2 Mazdas, I am a big fan. They really make excellent cars for a small company. Also, for people who live in west Texas, Hiley may be a good place to travel to in order to get a Mazda because the Mazda dealerships in these dinky west Texas cities are bad. They barely have much inventory at all, and most of that is SUVs. It seems like 3/4 of the vehicles on the road here are SUVs and pickup trucks.

Great review Forrest, keep up the good work!

Nice review. I just sat in a 2018 at my local dealer and was blown away at the interior. It was the GT Signature model which lacks the real wood trim and fancier nappa leather. Even so, nearly every single square inch of the interior felt high quality, which is an incredibly difficult task to pull off in any new car under $30k. The seats were super comfy, the doors closed with a nice solid thunk/whoosh, the steering wheel and gear shifter felt great in hand. And everything was laid out in an intuitive and attractive manner. I was pleasantly surprised at how well integrated the infotainment display was for a tablet style. It didn't look like an afterthought the way the Honda Accord screen does. The 6 is one of those rare cars that you sit in and just feel instantly comfortable in. Oddly enough, I also sat in the Kia Stinger right after and was disappointed that no matter how I adjusted the seat I couldn't get comfortable (I'm a big guy 6'2/240). Its sad that the 6 doesn't get more love in America. I hope the turbo engine helps garner some attention because it truly deserves greater sales figures.

Very interesting and very cool. I'm really interested in the acceleration numbers. My 2014 mazda6 is modified to make about 215-220 hp and lb ft of torque and it's a lot of fun with the stick.It only weighs 3050 lbs too cause I did some weight reduction too. As the man says this car can put the power down very well. There price point for the as tested car is amazing. A great opportunity for somebody looking for a really nice sedan.

This makes me even more happy I picked up the 2018 Accord 2.0T touring with black Honda wheels

I thoroughly enjoyed the review - thanks very much! I used to drive a 2014 Mazda 6 diesel, which had same max torque as this 2.5T petrol. I fully appreciate your comments about enjoying the torque.

Thank you Forrest Auto Review man

I know the feeling of when your car don't feel that fast as the numbers suggest. Go drive nissan altima or maxima. In my maxima when you floor it you don't necessarily feel like your going that fast until you look at the speedometer and your doing a hundred. Like bmw, they handle the speed amazingly well, they mask it. I have to be careful that I'm not speeding all the time. I've never driven a gtr but they say it also masks speed really well to where you have to be careful your not speeding all the time

i Recently Bought the 2018 Mazda 6 Grand touring reserve, a step below the top trim Signature, but there's barely much difference between the 2 trims. i most say before buying this model car i never dreamed, i would ever be driving one today infact, it was never a car brand i would give any thought to, but due to some personal regulations in the US, i did some research and the Mazda brand Appeared on my radar. Im a dedicated Subaru owner and driver and ive always loved German designed vehicles, infact before thinking about the Mazda brand i test drove the Subaru Outback 3.6R touring, the Subaru WRX STI, the BMW 340i xdrive and the BMW 330i Xdrive. i enjoyed all the models tested while they are all great cars theres just something different about driving the Mazda 6 GTR. i strongly urge anyone in the market who wants, in my opinion a really good blend of affordability, luxury, prestige, sportiness along with a barrage of features, this is the vehicle for you. anywhere i go i get compliments about it, i believe its because of all those beautiful curves and arches which compliment the design of this model, as well as the interior, i have the white interior, with black and alumium finish which is really beautiful, i could go on and on about this vehicle but i dont need to, take a test drive and feel it for yourself. the infotainment system can be some what buggy but besides that, this is one of the best cars ive ever owned.

Great video man. Thank you for the detailed review. As a Mazda employee I felt your knowledge was vast! Just a few notes the sensors by the mirror are for lane departure not radar cruise, that's behind the emblem! Also the touch screen is only touch under 10mph. Thankyou thankyou thankyou for pointing out the torque rating! One last note research how the turbos have a variable timing valve to only allow so much air to prevent turbo lag!!

This is a very good product video. I've been waiting for some input on the new engine, and it seems you like it (a lot!). One thing the 6 had been dinged for was road/wind noise, so how do you assess that aspect of the new car? Maybe one day Mazda will see fit to introduce an rwd MazdaSpeed6 sports sedan?:) btw, so few people drive a manual anymore that a lot of car mfgs are abandoning the offering. Me? You'd have to claw the stick from my cold dead hands. :)

longbowdt When Mazda debuted the new design and engine they said that they work on the NVH levels. They didn't say how extensive it was though.

Thank you for the in-depth review. I really like the new 6, especially with the new force-fed motor. Mazda still needs to give their infotainment a serious upgrade, though.

Finally a proper review of the 2018 6! Thank you so much! Can we ever expect a review of the Touring trim? I believe that it comes with cylinder de-activation as well. Wondering how it compares to the accord 1.5T. Does the Touring trim's interior look just like the Grand Touring's?

So premium, so much quality

What a beautifull car, cant wait to see it on the streets!

I still have my 2013 Mazda 6. I cant wait to upgrade next year.

I own the 2015 Mazda6 6speed and it's a very fun car to drive. I will trade in my car to this beauty when it comes with a 6speed.

Would like to see it against the Mazdaspeed 6 from back in the day.

Thank you for the excellent review! You are exactly right. The way the Mazda turbo feels when you drive it is hard to describe. In your review you said that it was smooth and that was the first thing that struck me about it. It is definitely something you need to drive to decide if you like it or not. It’s just a very different driving feeling. Of course, my primary vehicle right now is a 21-year-old Camry, so what do I know? I recently test drove both a new 4 cylinder Camry and the Mazda six turbo. I felt like the Camry had a softer ride, but a lot more Road noise. The Mazda interior is way better in quality and layout.

Unchanged for 2018 - Easy Scuff (Tm) Lower Door cards!! Seriously though this looks killer, has me pondering trading in my 2.5 manual 2016 3. If they come out with a manual next year, that will likely seal the deal

As I remember they announced it's not so noisy as previous one. So what is your feeling? Was the noise insulation improved? I mean wheel arches area?
