[@HuntaKiller91]

Mazda 6 really looks everlasting.. Even still relevant after almost 5years

[@sonyviva308]

These episodes are getting better and better! Great improvements and lots of surprises! Really factual and worth watching, can't wait for the new series!

[@KindOfFriend]

Every Monday wait for this. Feel so great !

[@joshuali753]

This is the best Car review I have ever seen in my life, so exciting, so unexpected, fun and insightful! Bravo

[@boy638]

Best episode yet guys! Hilarious and interesting. Shame is already last episode of the season. Looking forward to more!

[@yang9673]

Good job guys! Can't wait for season 2!

[@philymeatball]

Ni “review” kereta terbaik saya pernah tengok.. kita memerlukan lebih banyak automotive critique yg jujur dalam “review” mereka. Keep it up Paul Tan..

[@atengku9660]

This review is in English. If you can’t understand or write comment in English, look for other channels in Malay. Thanks.

[@bungkusi2432]

I think this is the BEST driven episode. Well done guys. Hope to watch you next season.

[@marcok298]

The Mazda6 is the best car.

[@ArisSharif]

Loved the Sam loo reference. Good job keeping the best video for the end of the series. Surprised did not see a passat being mentioned though.

[@faezanee]

Good job Driven team! Can't wait for the next season/episode.

[@HondaProJason]

5:38 "come on dude the Honda is quite nice the dash board is so dam cool" LOL great quote!

[@shaanp_2260]

The 9th gen 2013-15 Accord V6 Touring is and will always be the best Accord

[@manlor13]

Fabulous show, I truly enjoyed your reviews. I purchased the Mazda 6 2016 and I love it! Greetings from Orlando, Florida

[@bigshine35]

+enrique lopez me too

[@hemiworld57calboogie75]

+Zemby i agree

[@baem90]

I drive my father toyota 2011 camry, the handling was very good, i dont know why people so hate toyota, yes i acknowledge that UMW does not give the best spec for the car, but at least the resale value must be considered; like the one who interferred in your video.

[@enolah.studio1062]

I am the owner mazda6 2.5 skyactiv.. all car above i have tried but i buy the mazda. The driving pleasure, pick up , handling , style, best fuel consumption and good material black rubber... best...

[@Geoffreynguyen911]

I love Toyota Camry. It's good and reliable. This is a family car, not a sport car. But if you want to drive fast like 200 km/hr. It can do it. What else can you ask?

[@kaymccall2578]

YEAH YEAH YEAH 🖒💯✔❤😎💙💛

[@BrandonKissol]

Mazda6 with the BOSE sound system..!!!

[@mizzou19]

Mazda FTW

[@emeymaulanayurdeksi6458]

Sound system doesnt mean overall quality

[@rgcj87]

great work guys... can see the improvement on every episodes... good that there is a Msia market comparison for local consumer benefit... rather than previously we would based on the review of EU or US specs to make our judgement... which could be very misleading as its spec differs from the market here... so kudos...

[@honcheongwong8581]

This show is getting better and more interesting. Thumbs up!! :D

[@specialway73]

another great review guys..love the cameo bit of Sam Loo, had me in stitches. How about a wagon review next between the pug, hyundai and mazda?. Been actually thinking of getting one but still undecided. Anyways keep up the great work guys..lots of fans here in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Cheers!

[@AsifArain15]

I will go with Honda Accord cl9 2.4 iv-tec no other cars don't match my desire. the comfort level and the road grip I simply love Accord

[@Magic_Journeys]

Mazda 6 WINS!!

[@jacktan3870]

Hope to see more car comparisons in the future. Preferably from the luxury segment such as Mercedes vs BMW vs Audi vs Lexus

[@Harazukur0xx13]

LEXUS ES HITS MY HEART!

[@ljanhong]

Definitely the best episode ever! And finally someone point out that Toyota are overrated! Toyota doesn't live up to the hype anymore! Well done and looking forward to the next season. And I do hope that the video can be a little bit longer, like 15 - 20 minutes? So I can take out my junk food every time i watch Driven :D

[@mystvearn83]

If I am a Honda dealer right now, I will put this video at my showroom and play it on endless loop. Or go in front of Toyota show room, put big screen with subtitles and have it on endless loop :P

[@aizatzain6596]

Yes, this is definitely the best episode. Gonna wait for the next episode for sport car. Please include GT86 pleaseeee ;)

[@banpowel9784]

Mazda 6 means it has 6 cd changer. Although some only come with 1 cd input. But they decided to keep the 6 to cover all models as one can upgrade to 6 cd changer😎hope that clears up any confusions

[@CarbonBoyz]

Hopefully one day Paul tan will present Toyota mark x 2012 in their future video

[@nelsonlss94]

i am just curious why Volkswagen Passat doesn't include in the compare list? Price tag is almost the same, and it does offer better safety features.

[@franciswong1298]

Nelson Ling they r comparing Japanese makes

[@cheokzihin8137]

Can u guys do a comparision of MPVs like Toyota Wish

[@raymacz1922]

My Camry 2.5v 2012, I had a general check at Toyota CASA for any issues & couldn't find any issues at all. All I need to replace later is the brake pads lol. I wonder how's car now?

[@wchingfong]

You guys are awesome, nice comparison. You can't get wrong to buy either a Honda Accord or Mazda 6. I have stepped in both showroom many times but still not making final decision. I just found that the rear seat of Accord is not comfortable for more than 2 passengers due to the slanted side and protruding center...

[@johorean88]

Hi guys. Will you do a test drive on the entry-level segment sedans (Proton Saga FLX vs. Mitsu Attrage vs. Nissan Almera)?

[@TheNwarBudakBudak]

samloo reference is the best actually... ahahhaa

[@FashionKingDH]

Great Job Paultan Team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys include that RV Sam LOO :P

[@fazz27]

hahaha. good one. thanks for this. but where would you put the continental D segment cars like the Peugeot 508, the Citroen C5, the VW Passat?

[@tobiasjohansson5363]

I got the mazda 6 2016 optimum awd 2.2 tdi. Best car I owned so far.

[@Rich9107]

I would have suggested to also compare against the Kia Optima K5 2.4

[@speeddevil2217]

Brothers, very proud to see a Malaysian car review on you tube...you guys are really awesome and hilarious presenter...keep it up! I also read a lot of comment from Paul Tan. He is simply one the best automobile reviewer in our country.... However, I don't think you review on this 3 cars are comprehensive enough. A lot of important details and facts of the cars are not highlighted.....yes definitely in terms of price Mazda is the most expensive due to CBU....however, for D segment in overall, Mazda 6 rules....Mazda 6 should not be the 2nd as Accord is no where in comparison in overall specs....hope to have a better reviews in next season.....

[@forzafer2684]

Which is good performance and comfort between this 4 cars ???

[@vincentheng4451]

When will the Driven # 6 ?

[@jo7375]

LOL That Sam Loo joke also appear at here ah? Haha!

[@elm3nchan]

You did not mention that Mazda 6 is CBU from Japan and also I'm wondering that if the driver knows there is a switch/button at the end of the pedal/accelerator of Mazda 6, purpose of overtaking or call it as fully throttle switch/button

[@boy638]

Should have included the fuel consumption figures of the i40 and ES. But great work!

[@matthewmow7242]

Can you guys make a comparison between volkswagen passat and the rest of the cars? I'm considering that is that worthy to buy it....

[@Jaem-ml4lx]

how come my 2015 camry doesnt look nothing like this one they have in this video?

[@RyanRygart]

The way Harvinder walks at the end there mimicking Jack Sparrow, nice~ Oh ya, and that Sam Loo's joke, hilarious!

[@jin5632]

so, the '6' in mazda 6 means that it has 6 airbags, i didn't know that

[@HazimieAbdulKarim]

+Zemby but mazda 2 only have 2 airbags! Lol #sarcasm

[@christianc6041]

So they were thinking of making the Mazda 1 but can't sell cars with only one airbag..so they stopped the project :)))

[@samuelchowchow5104]

Mazda 3, 3 air bag, 1 back passenger will die

[@che_tan77]

the review was good, but you should have done some review about the lexus es250 too.

[@fescoversongchannel230]

This was 8 years ago, you guys should make a new version 😂

[@benjaminsabri6021]

guys, great job on the big boy sedans. can you please do a comparison for the budget sedans ie; nissan almera, mitsubishi attrage and maybe throw in a preve since it is within the similar price range.

[@justinloh1996]

For the XV50 Camry 2.0- it's century sprint takes 12.5 secs, does the car feel a lack of pickup compared to the 2.5?

[@aqidyusuf]

Does the Hyundai desiel engine sounds same as the BMW 520d? Or it louder?

[@Aero7SVR]

LOL the Sam Loo reference was hilarious ! Become running joke of paultan.org already xD. I wonder how the real Sam Loo feels right now.... must be syiok sendiri for sure ! I personally feel that the Mazda6 should have won, but everyone has their opinions, but some are more valuable than others and I respect the end result all the same. Thanks for sending the last episode out with a bang, the series has improved so much since the first. Well done guys ! Looking forward to season 2 (if there is one). :]

[@indocarsdiary]

Since when are these cars considered full size? I thought they were mid size?

[@TheBenjamin1203]

The previous generation Camry is the best Camry so far.

[@KM-oy5yh]

✔🤛👏💯😊👍

[@heeheeh]

I like Sam Loo character added in this episode. Well Done ! Actually, this review is fair and most uncles and aunties should watch this before buying D-Segment car.

[@RedmiNote-sk5lv]

insya-Allah i will get one

[@sultancom12]

i lost him when he said '' like a boss''

[@Indyariya]

Nice car reviews. Must see Sam Loo at 6.00 its so hilarious!

[@gasjatt]

Nice... There's the Stig in TopGear, then there's SamLoo in Paultan..

[@weikeen1088]

6:03 Shaddap! The Camli!

[@mat-bm1gs]

nice car, if i can buy any of them?

[@akimbowasabi]

looks like they took some inspiration from older top gear episodes

[@RadzLee]

In your face sam loo! I never thought that u guys included that annoying troll in this vid too! Its was truly a pleasant surprise. I also love how u introduced the hyundai n the lexus later on. U guys are the best. I would love to see more of driven in the future. U guys have gone far since the pilot episode. Kudos

[@cheokzihin8137]

Can u guys do a comparision of MPVs like the Toyota Wish?

[@BrandonKissol]

Avanza?

[@semarakgeo]

well...im anticipating the new K5 as the kimchi surprise...and the comment on the i40 is vey accurate

[@Stronger2k9]

Is tha the Camry 2015?...thanks.

[@khw0ng_]

so...seems like alot people asked why don't have vw Passat in video. But I thought the segment of vw Passat is higher then these 3 cars? and also the same segment with vw Passat...I only knw Peugeot 508..and what else somebody can tell me ? thx

[@KindOfFriend]

What ? Last episode ? Hope have next opisode.

[@Nonbelieverification]

You guys don't get the 2.2 Skyactiv diesel engine? That blows all of these petrols out of the water. It has more grunts (420Nm) and much better fuel ecomony (range). Also, the Mazda manual is better and more economical than the automatic.

[@RyanRygart]

Last episode, Noooooooooooo. . . I always anticipating Driven on Monday. Can't wait for the next season~

[@paulh2741]

Which one faster

[@cargo4441]

In america they put 10 air bags in the Camry and its cheaper than the Honda.

[@einstein9901]

Ya man it's a pity the camry isn't made in Malaysia.. If not it would be cheaper than the accord

[@doesntmatter1119]

The Asian Top Gear! Love it.. keep up the good work boys 🙏🏼

[@alvink5465]

Good one guys! Sam Loo cameo had me rotfl!!

[@heywatchme101]

Why no KIA K5

[@sallea.1165]

Would be great if the Peugeot 508 Premium can be reviewed as well.

[@jaspersiow]

who the hell hires a driver to drive an accord?

[@gfwong79]

Haha... Sam Loo troll... Great overall season. Hoping to see more coming.

[@taranysganymede3039]

Funny to watch,keep its up guys

[@amreshravindran2103]

It would be more awesome if could compare with Volkswagen CC or Passat which could sprint 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds. But it's a nice review anyway. I just love this show. Waited every Monday to watch this :D

[@zim249]

Haha, these videos really do crack me up.. Its not too technical and really funny. Mostly because of the accent and culture references. NICE!

[@Elrowgy]

why some countries have camry as an aurion and vise versa ?

[@ravindmuniandy2699]

Come on, I drive the Mazda 6 everyday. The gearbox does just fine when you want to push the car. Ease up on the throttle and it becomes pliant. No qualms there.

[@kadajawi6567]

This should be a 2 parter... part 1 these cars, part 2 Passat, Mondeo, 508 (perhaps the diesel, for some some added spice) and K5. It'd be especially interesting to see how the Japanese compare with the alternatives from Europe and Korea.

[@barathtx]

Can you do a test comparison between pick up trucks...like Toyota Hilux vs Mitsibushi Triton vs Chevrolet Colorado And Isuzu D-Max....it will be nice cause malaysian do like pick up trucks...very much actually...

[@gregsze]

That cameo by "Sam Loo". Best. Damn. Cameo. Ever.

[@aeroline11]

After 6 years the best resale value 1st Camry, 2nd Accord, 3rd Mazda 6 and last spot i40. In term of reliability 1st Camry, 2nd i40, 3rd Mazda 6 and last goes to Accord. This is my informal survey from automotive industry in 2020. Accord may score good in this review but the build quality is far beyond expectation. Camry maybe the most boring car to drive but again it is century proof of its reliability.

[@aaryavansh3385]

Absolutely correct words. It’s gonna be seen more later years then the others. It has reliability and good acceleration nothing much more needed. About boring thing well it’s reliable and don’t cost pocket like the others

[@jackseow1008]

Mazda6 CBU SkyActiv Technology,Full Range Safety System,Fuel Comsuption And Suspension Handling excellent.MUST TRY!!!!!!!

[@alanyap1010]

U r good driven

[@batulaut]

Hahaha!! Sam Loo made public debut! That's very suprising :-D

[@wong888888881]

Where is Vw passat?

[@albertKFC]

Boss, you are sitting at the wrong side. Bosses usually sit on the left, not behind the driver =)

[@hiewkent1]

easier for the camera man dude.

[@tohzhenming]

why not the teana?

[@TC-iz6xe]

Honda is the best here. The K24 engine is one of the best 4cyl engines ever.

[@uchechukwunonso981]

He said mazda6 is programmed to jump fast to gear 4 and the zoom is compromised. I have driven 626, xedos9, tribute and now cx9 and i can tell that gear 4 serves as an overdrive for a 6 speed mazda..I noticed that there are some delays most especially in 2 when you wish to zoom and it consumes fuel there while other car overtakes you and as soon as i get on 4 i meet up with ones who overtook me and zoom off..So if they programmed it in mazda6, thats my prayer answered ..cant wait to drive that mazda6..gunning for it now...it takes a mazda die hard to understand what mazda is doing

[@fungusmongo]

what music was used @ 0:04

[@sanjayduff]

The mazda 6 definitely should have won the comparison. It has better styling and fuel economy. The price factor only comes in because mazda 6 is cbu from japan and honda is ckd from melaka. That should not be the determining factor. Plus, honda uses a cvt which takes the fun out of the drive, mazda uses sky active that achieves what it promises; better fuel economy and fun to drive with better horsepower than honda, togethet with the I-e loop regenerative braking system. No contest in my opinion.

[@bingleekkong8939]

Honda uses the 5 speed AT in the Malaysian Accord.

[@shobin05]

the 6 actually won on autoguide review, but then i cant disagree with their point on how amazing the accord's interior is, thats where 99% of the market is going to be.

[@kktan7260]

I totally agreed.... look at USA reviews on these makes. I really have doubts on this local reviews... talking NONSENSE.

[@andrewchum3694]

As they mentioned, no doubt Mazda 6 is certainly the best driver's car. But we are not comparing a performance car. There are many people buying the D-segment family car is due to the space and comfort. Which Paultan guys think the Accord is better all rounder.

[@arniejonassen]

While I may not agree with you 100%, the one thing we'd both agree on is that the Toyota is the worst of the three and like Apple, people buy them because they are emotionally tied to them.

[@marshallzaid521]

When the mazda got in the fuel station everyone was checking it out :)
