2018 Mazda6 Review: Curbed with Craig Cole | Mazda6 Turbo Review

[@thethespian5757]

Mazda is so simple and elegant. It does everything without trying too hard. Looks the best for its class both inside and out (in my opinion). I actually really like Mazda's infotainment system layout. When Android Auto and Apple Carplay comes they will be unstoppable.

[@nobunaga-oda]

Floyd Dellon 👍🏼

[@kaesden]

You mean 'if' they add AA and CarPlay. Mazda has been promising it is coming soon for 3+ years. unlikely this year is any different.

[@antoniom7325]

Kaesden they’re rolling out an update for it soon

[@kaesden]

they've been saying 'soon' for years.

[@HelpdeskHonky]

Just about everything is spicy about this car, sans the infotainment. If they just redesigned that alone, this car would be nearly perfect.

[@laracroft938]

I like how Audi brags about elegant design but in reality Mazdas are more elegant than newer Audis.....

[@ianpolo5673]

Audi's design is getting stale and boring. They can only be tech savvy to catch attention these days. But still useless.

[@dsgrts]

That minimalistic interior design is so attractive.

[@robertczimmerman3774]

Perfection stays in simplicity sometimes. Totally agree

[@mariowhyte2816]

Oooooooh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy goooooodness Mazda has done it again!!!! How they so seemlessly merge soul stirring and passionate design into a practical package blows my mind!!!! Even more so, how they don't manage to sell more vehicles than they currently do is baffling!!!

[@whatevernevermind5960]

The best midsize sedan available imo. Stunning, fun to drive, high quality, well equipped, quick.

[@DavidOliveiraYadin]

I love that skinny bastard. Great reviews everytime

[@seanbybee6047]

I just leased the Grand Touring version last week only from my previous 2 Mazda experiences alone('08 CX-7 and the wife's '15 CX-9) on the need that my CX-7 is starting to have high mileage woes. I wasn't even thinking about purchasing another car and I work for a Nissan Dealership. I've seen so many CVT issues come through our shop I have learned to stay away from those brands that have adopted them. I couldn't be happier! This car is by far, next to my wife's CX-9, the best car purchase I have ever made.

[@ztekz]

Sean Bybee , hows your 6 holding up? Any reliability issues?

[@samjony88]

The best video I have ever seen for the 6 thanks AutoGuide😍❤️

[@phillipmarnik]

I really like the colour. Motivates you to keep it clean.

[@arman8097]

have you seen it in real life. Its just a wow, unbelievable color. I would say color combination of red and black, especially under the sun. This is a new color. When I was getting my 2017.5 mazda 6 they didn't have it on a 6, so I end up with machine gray with parchment interior.

[@thecman26]

Very nice car! That red is beautiful!

[@lizdunne91]

I'm getting mine on Sept 28. I had a hard choice between the Soul Red or Machine Grey Metallic. I ultimately chose the grey because I thought it looked more elegant. Hopefully I made the right decision!

[@unclefreddy2009]

Excellent review. He really knows his stuff and does this well

[@kevin12697]

Finally larger exhaust tips, the older ones were way too small

[@はる-r1r9f]

I love the simple design after seeing the Accord and Camry..

[@SkyReaper]

Man, Craig Cole's commentary style goes head to head with that of Morgan Freeman's voice overs... if Morgan Freeman reviewed cars for a living. I'm excited to watch AutoGuide whenever it's you in there!

[@v60polestar88]

All you Honda fanboys can sleep on the 6 all you want. It's better than the Accord. No crappy CVT no matter the trim level and that huge TQ is awesome

[@ztekz]

Polestar Wes, know someone with a new 2018 Accord with the 2.0L Turbo engine and 10-speed tranny....engine has already stalled as it wouldn’t start one time and it was in the shop for 2wks as engine had to be overhauled! Yikes! Not as reliable anymore as Honda’s in the past...even their 1.5T has oil dilution issues and pathetic they had to use CVT for those! People are so blinded by Honda’s reliability reputation...

[@SonNguyen-mk2wq]

we are on our 4th mazda. keep trading them in for another.

[@agm6095]

Very nice under rated car. Better looking than Camry or Accord. Zoom Zoom.

[@ztekz]

A GM, yup. Glad I went with a 6 and not those other two! Just picked up mine (new 2019 Sport trim) as it was on clearance and saved over $6K from MSRP...it came out cheaper than a base Corolla, Civic, 3, Elantra, Forte which are all a class below and way way cheaper than Accord and Camry! Best part of it - the 6 is not too common on the road where as the other two you see out there every 5 mins!

[@robertczimmerman3774]

@@ztekz glad to hear that. Enjoy it! I want to say, the fact that I live in Europe ( Romania) and there are so so so few ( you may count them on fingers, litterally). In my life, i've seen only 2 camrys for so long. And i struggle one week to search in towns for a honda accord. Therefore, somehow, mazda 6 is more common here ( maximum 1 per 2 days I see one out of 100k cars passing by) and even so, I would choose one. Btw, here in Europe 99,9% of people never heard of toyota Avalon, or brands like Lincoln, Buick, GM. I swear, its true. You americans have so beautiful cars. There might seem common those 3 ( camry, accord and 6) but here are rarely than a ferrari. P. S. Sorry for bad english

I like the way you speak.. so clear.. unlike the other guy who do the same review of this car.. 👍👍👍

[@MarkAmps]

I was about to skip on this vid since I have no plans of buying the Mazda 6. But then I read Craig Cole in the full video title, I instantly watched the vid. No regrets here after watching the whole video. Great review as always from Craig.

[@Mikey-jn3sq]

Im glad it was mentioned that the horse power will be lowerered at lower oct gas fill up at 4:56 .I noticed a decrease in power on my Mazda 6 2015 no turbo . but quickly noticed a big change in performance when I changed from 87 oct to 92 oct .I think it has something to do with higher compresion ratio and coupled with direct fuel injection .Its really said that a lot of bloggers are not including it in their blogs .

[@crazyone1067]

Mikey 321, Turbo or not... I would always run a high octane gasoline on any high compression engine direct injected engine.

[@ryanlittleton5615]

Mikey 321 Would you say it's definitely worth it over 87?

[@toueyang323]

Ryan Littleton for longevity and reduced carbon buildup, I would always use a high octane gassoline.

[@ryanlittleton5615]

Toue Yang Alright thanks. I know the Skyactiv engines are tuned differently in North America so they can run 87. Was wondering.

[@Mikey-jn3sq]

because of the way this car is set up to perform . If you put regular 87 in the car , it bogs down like your towing something from behind .Its most notable when your costing down or taking off .It just has no power .I later found out this is because the cars engine on board computer , is protecting it from pre ignition or irregular detonations due to the low octane from the gas .The Mazda 6 is set up to work better with high octane 93 gas ,but can be used with a lower octane 87 at your own risk .The only reason im bringing this up is that the manual booklet that came with the car says I can use regular 87,but it should have also said recommended for best performance 93 .maybe the people at Mazda did not want to make people aware of this for fear that many would not purchase the cars ,but i like the car and should have been told about this .Many of the bloggers that so called tested this car should have also picked up on this as well .Im glad to see that auto guide did make a note of this .

Some manufacturers take materials and they make a car. Mazda takes the same materials and creates art.

Craig, love your reviews and your sarcasm. Keeps me viewing.

[@cancel.lgbtq.6892]

Hands down the best looking non luxery sedan out there.

[@kray97]

If you get a Signature trim, it's basically an entry level luxury sedan. Napa leather, suede and wood trim...

[@ronch550]

Proof that you don't need to get a luxury brand to get a very good car.

[@danielramirez3815]

Great review, if only Mazda carried over the manual for the touring and grand touring models..

[@wbwayne8887]

Great review Craig, couldn't agree more. Well done Mazda.

[@marcscordato4385]

Mazda makes handsome well engineered cars. Surprisingly they don’t sell well. Easily our sold by Toyota , Honda and Nissan even upstart Hyundai and Kia sell far more cars . I wonder if Fiat will continue to build a relationship with Mazda they could teach Fiat how to build high quality cars.

[@swanblake]

Marc Scordato they lost my sale with not offering a manual transmission option on the turbo engine

[@MrMazda-ih8cw]

Distribution and marketing are key. For instance, Mazda sells really well in Australia where the strategy is more comprehensive

[@renegade_legend2583]

Blake Swan they don't have enough sales for it.

What did you choose instead?

[@boa4533]

Totally agree with this guy. And this is just a mid cycle refresh. Imagine when they totally redone the car, I'm sure it'll be great. The interior is beautiful, maybe the brown color could be a little bit brighter, the seats could be a bit more hugging, reducing cabin noises, a new information system, a panoramic sunroof. Outside, the car could be a bit lower, I just love the front end, they just need to make that more aggressive, no need to change it. I would love to see fog lights back, it really brightens up the front. The car has been phenomenal in terms of driving dynamic since 2014, but I would love to see them adding more gears since it has so much torque. I could be asking for too much but if they could do one of the things. Woah, I will be sold. Ps, I'm still happy with the car now.

[@Vicobop]

Agree with a lot of your wants, except that the reducing cabin noise has been more than accomplished. It's the most silent of the 3. I and many others who test drove back to back the cars can confirm it. At least on the GT and Signature tires. :)

[@boa4533]

Vic haha. I knew i asked for too much. But this is all possible and reasonable, isn't it.

[@Vicobop]

Quân Anh for the most part yes ;)

[@hawaiiguy1]

some videos from car salesmen making videos and car reviewers disagree on whether there is or there is NO fog lights...salesman say the paperwork they get from the manufacturer says the fog lights are integrated, but some reviewers cannot believe that as the fog lights would be placed too high off the ground. What is autoguide.com's take?

[@itmustbelove08]

Craig if you ever need your self esteem raised just read your comments. They are crushing on you more than the car. Kudos to Mazda for its continued improvement.

[@traviss4249]

FYI, Android Auto and Apple Carplay is available. My new Mazda6 GT has it, and I've been using it. BTW, after test driving the new Accord, Camry, and Sonota, I kept coming back to the Mazda6. There's just something about the driving experience that puts it above the rest. It's almost like you wear the car, and become one with the car when driving. The 6 may not win the 0-60 times, but when you look at track numbers and passing numbers (50-70), it competes with the Accord and Camry. The Accord felt too much like I was driving a car simulator..., it lacked feedback into the steering wheel. I can see why people who want a car to "drive easy" might prefer the Honda, but if you want to engage with the road, the Mazda is the way to go. The 2018 is much more quite, and the Turbo gives it some much needed punch. The infotainment needs a facelift. I wish it was open source, because I could make some basic tweaks over the weekend to improve it dramatically. I would make sure favorites appear on the main radio page by simply pressing down on the command stick, and then allow to rotate through them. Pressing up would allow the user to "tune" the radio by rotating the command dial. I would allow the main menu to cycle all the way around. These are just quick little things that would instantly make it better. I would also add an "automatic" favorites option. Based on the duration one listens to radio stations, it would automatically add and sort favorite radio stations. The same auto favorites could apply to locations, and callers.

[@normt5463]

Better off with a Malibu 2.0T for $24K or $10,000 off MSRP on autotrader.

[@craigzilla100]

Are there port injectors along with the direct injection to keep the valves clean? I have a mazdaspeed6, and trust me, direct injection only is a horrible design.. 100k miles and the intake valves could no longer seal, and an exhaust valve broke. Cylinder shut-off? No thanks... But it is a gorgeous vehicle

[@Acc0rd79]

Everything is gorgeous except that digital touch display. It looks like a bolted-on aftermarket accessory--a total afterthought. Why not integrate it into the dash?

[@mikeracicot5003]

jamc204 that’s the trend now. Audis and bmws do it this way. Personally i like it. Other cars also have it somewhere in between. Not on top of the dash like this, and not totally integrated. But kind of hanging on the dash, like the Accord or Malibu, for example. Personally, i find the ones that are integrated into the dadh to be a dated look now. Like an old tv sitting in an entertainment center instead of on top of a console or habging on the wall

[@Hansinho10]

I think the benefit is that you don't have to look all the way down to see the screen. It's important to to keep an eye as well on the street when you're looking at the screen. Also I like that you can't use the touch screen while you're driving.

[@meugzy]

casualsuede Mazda 6 signature.

[@BanBiofuels]

I think it looks better than the Honda Accord, a million times better than the tremendously ugly Toyota Camry, but not as nice as the Hyundai Sonata. The Sonata can be had for a lot less money with much bigger dealer discounts, and Hyundai dealers stock interiors other than death-coffin-black, which is what you always find at Mazda dealers. That said, the Mazda 6 probably does handle better than any of the mentioned automobiles and maybe it looks better in a different color. It still has a little Batman Joker grin on the front grill I don't like, but maybe a silver painted car would reduce that effect. Bottom line, I would say both the Sonata and the Mazda 6 are winners in the class and both are good cars.

[@ronch550]

Is it just me or are these car companies coming up with all sorts of engine innovations all of a sudden? VC-Turbo, Skyactive, etc.

[@holidaeyy674]

Wow digital gauge way better than granny's camry...

[@hen913]

It looks greatttttt. HOWEVER. I'm so disappointed that Mazda again has decided to shaft its lower trim customers. Just like the last generations refresh, only the higher trims get the goodies. This time it's worse. I have a 2017 Mazda 6 Sport, the lowest trim, so I don't get the fancy refreshed face that was only available in GT models. In this new generation, ONLY the GT Reserve and above get the LED headlights. GT and below do NOT get LED headlights. It's so disappointing because they claim LED is standard, but it's not. This time the GT doesn't even get the LED headlights. I also test drove it and I feel as though it is not enough of an upgrade from my 2017 model. The new interior and exterior is very nice, but technology wise it's not that much of an upgrade and the noise is only very slightly improved. Throttle feels the same. It's just not aggressive enough. They also made the steering lighter, no idea why. But all in all, it's a great car. It truly shines in the highest trims.
