[@matthewstillwell3090]

one of the worst designs of timing chains in the world...

[@calvinchann1996]

I'm sorry, but how many users will be comparing ride quality at 130 mph? Would it not been more useful to do the comparison at 80 mph, a more usual rep mobile speed?

[@sergioquesada8256]

don't know but my mazda 6 2016 first time ever pumping gas I put 91 v power I got 13,000 and I only have put v power from she'll and my shit car can go really fast specially on Sport mode I do a lot of damage to fast cars. I've gone really fast in it and really safe and no noise issues.

[@TheCobra4501]

+Calvin Chann Well I think it is quite reasonable, because 120+ mph are something you can actually do on a motorway. (German here)

[@calvinchann1996]

Yes, but Fifth Gear is a UK programme and you can only get onto deregulated motorways in certain parts of Germany. They're not all like that.

[@TheCobra4501]

Calvin Chann Yes, I know, but the point still stands. :)

[@anandh1621]

I don't know what variant they used, but I drive a 2.5L Touring and it's a car made for everyone including Adventurers, Families, Mileage conscious, etc. This car is designed by Mazda with utmost sincerity and emotions. They literally gave everything they had to create this Marvel. Which company redesigns their Engines from scratch? Mazda does. The Power, you can feel it. The lady gave a rating of 7.5 just because she wasn't feeling comfortable when they were traveling at 135 MPH. Come on, at usual 70-75 MPH you will feel much comfortable like any other car, and with family nobody is gonna drive that crazily. After all, it's not a sports car, but a great car with sporty look, feel and sound. The oldest of the 4 Japanese Big Automobile makers, Mazda wanted to prove a point that they may be late into the game in this segment, but they can really make such unmatched cars with Luxurious packages and give to very ordinary buyers. The basic variant in US is the 'Sport', and that itself has 90% of what the next level has. It's time to support the people who really give us quality products rather than throwing the hard earned money on Super Luxury Brands just for pride.

Hello, i realise this comment was made 4 years ago so idk if you will see this, but could you tell me a little about your long-term experience with this car? How is it holding up? Any expensive repairs? How many miles or kilometers have you driven? Thank you

[@AndorRadnai]

It looks bloody good as well..! Especially in that beautiful red!

[@anandh1621]

@@Prokitess Sorry for answering this after 1 year lol. I handed over it to my nephew and it's still as good as new. Changed the tires one year back because of usage in rough roads the treads have worn out. Other than that I replaced the battery. That's it. Still as good as new. Depending on the location, Mazda service may look expensive, but they always do a good job. There may be few issues with the software and check Engine may turn on and freak out sometimes in 2014 model, but it must have been fixed in the recent year cars. Even the display has changed in the new cars, and there are many other enhancements too. :)

The Mazda 6 is a great car. You get that sporty look and it’s a low maintenance car with excellent reliability. Perfect starter car for its price

[@dodecahedron6393]

I bought the 2015 Touring sight unseen as a toy and it keeps a smile on my face. Sweetest car I've ever seen or drove and it's extremely fun to drive. I can not stand to look at other cars now. I also own a Camry that feels like I'm riding on a pillow. Mazda did this one right! ---------- zoom zoom indeed.

[@python244]

I've got a 2015 2.2 Diesel 150bhp it is frugal on fuel but has legs when you put your foot down, my stepson has a bmw 318 and he loved it when he drove it, he said it was incredible smooth to drive and was surprised it still was pulling in 6th gear, I'd agree with the wind noise but it's a small price to pay for such a fun car to drive. It is a tad jumpy at high speed, but not so much that it scares you, I think that's down to the light steering, but you still feel in control of the car, at lower speeds the steering is pure precision. Top Tip !! You can also easily upgrade the BHP with something called Versatuner software and map it to 175BHP or 192BHP for £190, as the SE-L 2.2 150bhp diesel is EXACTLY the same engine as the 175bhp NAV sport engine, the Nav Sport engine just has a different tune.

[@tobyway5093]

I have 2.2 175 BHP version which is bloody great on motorways and on windy back roads

[@branot89]

2 minutes talking about the car and 4 minutes about fuel consumption at top speed. Worst review ever

[@XzzVttll]

+branot89 the review was about consuption and speed moron. they compared that to ford mondeo

[@branot89]

lalos Because consumption at top speed is the most important thing to consider when buying a car. Everything else like practicality, handling, safety, equipment and price doesn't matter

[@minicelica75]

I had a Ford Mondeo Titanium. Living in Outback Queensland Australia, it was a great car but the high beam really was not good. Being automatic they did not seem to want to stay on and when you wanted them to turn off because of a car in front they didn't.

[@iantownsend5480]

I think Mazda is on a complete roll right now This 6 looks amazing, I sat in won at a dealership you would think it was a higher brand ie bmw or audi the Cx5 is the best mid size suv you can buy & the looks of the new Mx5 are brilliant

It looks great but is borrowing front grill cues from BMW3 if you look closely.

[@n8neiTen8n]

Did you check that also on the gas station? If it makes more noise, it will consume more gas. Besides, Mazda 6 is pretty, but there are prettier cars with more proper engines (V6/R6)

[@sidewaysandsmiling59]

This wasn't exactly the most scientific test. You have to take into account partial throttle(though diesels have no pumping losses from partial throttle because there is no throttle), what part of the rev range you use, how much internal friction there is when coasting, etc. You can pretty easily take this motor up above 200hp and 400lb-ft with just an ecu tune and maybe a dpf delete.

[@n8neiTen8n]

Deleting dpf is restricted or illegal in some countries (Poland), besides Mazda can easly can take away warranty if you delete it, and your insurer can tak away insurance in case you have accident. This is a problem with many NEW cars in some areas. They should check also on the gas station how really Mazda consumed, because basing on what the computer shows is not smart.

[@bwmim9709]

THE MUSIC FROM FAST LANE DAILY :P

[@jp_0118]

+Ninac video They've used it a few times already, actually

[@trackstarflash]

was that the diesel? USA Mazda 6 has nothing near 64mpg

[@trackstarflash]

so their "miles per gallon" are different than USA "miles per gallon"?? isn't "miles per gallon" means that is the rate of gas consumption of the engine? It would make sense if it were KPG instead of MPG. "Kilometers per gallon". But I fail to understand how a mile can differ from a mile.

[@72hrs_vermithor]

+Flash Senpai cause the people from us have a different mile than the British mile

[@parasharkchari]

+Flash Senpai +muzzammil ather British mile is the same as US mile. It's not measuring kilometers or metric miles (1500m), but still the same old 1609 meter mile as we have in the U.S. Main difference is the size of the gallon. US gallon is 128 fl oz, while Imperial gallon is 160 fl oz. That alone accounts for a 25% bump in the number since it's measuring against 25% more fuel. So a car that gets 40 mpg in the US gets 50 in the UK, all else being equal. The other difference is the emissions standards are a little looser in the EU & UK than in the US mainly because they actually scale with consumption whereas the U.S. is only interested in concentration levels of a given volume of exhaust under different operating loads. For diesels, that means the adsorption beds used for selective catalytic reduction don't require as much wasted fuel (or urea if you're using it) to be dumped into the exhaust in order to clear out the NOx... So you save some additional fuel that way compared to the U.S. This was also what VW cheated on, btw... basically they would waste the fuel during a test and not waste it otherwise allowing more NOx emissions. Because of that and the gallon size thing, it's not uncommon for small diesels in the UK to crest 70 mpg (and also why most Brits are sorely unimpressed by hybrids like the Prius). Of course, Mazda claims that the diesel in the 6 doesn't need as much of it anyway because they bring their SkyActiv diesels to lower compression levels in order to keep temperatures down and mitigate NOx generation in the process. No certainty how true that is because the diesel has no shot of ever making it to the states. Direct injection in gas engines also pays off a little bigger in the EU because one thing it buys you is the opportunity to use an initial burst to cool the air charge during compression, and then a second burst to enrich the mixture slightly just before the spark plug fires -- that gives you a heterogeneous mixture that is near stoichiometric at the point of ignition, but leaner beyond that such that the overall average concentration is lean. You can do this when power demands are lower (e.g. cruising) and save some fuel that way. Unfortunately, you can't do that in the U.S. because the laws block that -- the requirement is that the total overall air-fuel ratio must be stoichiometric.

mpg is measured different in the uk. a gallon for example is bigger there. all cars over there have higher mpg then the us

Mrwaffleandmilk that is happening everywhere. That is what happens when you mostly leave it up to the seller to post the numbers. Higher is better for them

[@Twincam808]

A friend told me that it is the policy there in europe. That's why their engines are usually smaller.

[@edweagle]

Some cars do have smaller engines, depends on manufacturer. I believe they charge car taxes based on the co2 and other emissions of the vehicle. Also i think it affects their insurance costs too.

[@7elephantastic]

No they're not the same. The mazda 6 american version has a 2.5 naturally aspirated gasoline engine and we only have sedans here. European versions have 2 options. A 2.0 gas engine or a 2.2 diesel engine. They also offer all wheel drive there and a wagon version. You can search it on google if you don't believe me. Gregory was right.
