What a great reviewer . One of the few that don’t try to sound like Jeremy clarkson . He covers every point with clarity . Brill

[@OsvUkVehicleSupply]

Thank you for the great feedback Ian!

[@Eiad.Alhamed]

Keep in mind that sticking with a naturally aspirated engine means better reliability in the long run. New technology means more bugs. This however, is familiar and tested.

in all seriousness, why do people still say that passat has a good quality cabin? honestly, it's cheap plastic all round... the A4 has a quality cabin, the 3 series has a quality cabin, but not a passat!

[@krokuspokus2403]

Agreed. The latest generation of VW vehicles are hardly better than a cheap Dacia. I guess they had to cut costs after the diesel debacle in the US.

[@AndrewSowerby]

Another exceptionally detailed review. Your reviews are so detailed, in fact, that I think they'd benefit from a pinned comment with the sections and time links, and maybe even bullet points in the details section. I've referred quite a few people to your reviews when they've been trying to decide what cars to shortlist, and most been blown away by how comprehensive they are, but some just don't have the time. I'm a right car geek, so I make the time, of course, and it's totally worth it :D

Having owned a BMW 5 series E60 and G30, and now since 6 month owning a Mazda 6 I can honestly say that the Mazda 6 is so much more fun to drive than my BMW's. Even with less power and torque (194 hp vs 235 hp in my last BMW,), I'm enjoying my Mazda 6 A LOT more.

[@e1337prodigy]

Fantastic review! You should have 46.7 million subs not 46k. I'm still undecided on this. I have looked at so many cars, I think I have narrowed it down now to either this or Skoda Octavia. Ideally want comfort, economical (but not a diesel engine), lots of tech (heads up display, large touchscreen, lots of info), nice looks, reliable, big enough for 2 adults and 2 growing kids and boot space, great handling and a bit of power when I need it; oh and of course as cheap as possible (don't care about the badge). I think that's basically everything haha, so basically want an excellent all rounder value for money car. I may have to compromise on some "needs". I don't do a lot of miles, but I will do a long 1hr journey on motorway and B roads roughly once a week.

Very good and detail review of a great car. But please stop with this more efficient claims of the turbo engines, we all know what their real world economy range is... Not too mention reliability. I wish more companies would go Mazdas way and not the other way around

[@EPSuttaVinaya]

Looking from the side, the back part of this car edges up too high. if u put lower springs on the back may even out a little but still the body contours are al pointing upwards... its a parallelogram tht needs to be adjusted to become a rectangle. If u take a piece of rectangular towel, 1 hand grab on the bottom left corner and 1 hand grab on the top right corner, stretch it diagonally.... this is how this car looks like from the side... skewed

[@anhayes25]

Uhhhh... something weird happening at 9:49

[@m.v.k4681]

While it might be a lovely car to some, the things that would put me off buying one are the 2lt engine, black roof lining, and that radio/sat nav screen stuck up on top of the dash which makes it look like an afterthought.

Beautiful car but lacking in tech. The interior has the best quality materials in the segment. Not as fast as the 2.0t Honda Accord or the 2021 Camry XSE. The infotainment system shows obsolesce (it's small, ugly and not intuitive) by comparison to others in 2021 mid-sedans.

I kind of admire them for sticking with n/a petrol engines. But those figures are pretty poor really. You can get an extra 60hp from a Peugeot or a Fiat/Alfa 1.6 turbo. And not get stung by the tax man in the process.

[@steveluth3139]

Well most of asia and europe dont give a ratts ass about HP numbers, thats why the turbo version only goes to the US. Seems like a decent quality for a nice price car to me. And with their SkyActive X coming this summer it will be very interesting.
