2014 Mazda6 Review

Mazda incorporates their Skyactiv technology in this new 2014 Mazda6. More aggressive and stylish, plus powerful and efficient.

Just bought a 2014 Mazda 6 Touring in the blue reflex color (the one you were standing next to). I am shocked at how nice this car is. I had only been paying attention to Accords and Camrys due to having good experiences in the past. Mazda has surpassed them with the Kodo design and Skyactive technology. Handling is sure footed and fun as hell to toss around corners. Amazing machine!

Great review. I'm currently driving one of these here in the UK and having a lot of fun with it. Mazda have done a fine job of matching space with pace with this car.

Great review and video as always Zach. Pls ignore the rude comments made by some ignorant ppl here. They could at least learn to appreciate your time that you're spending and knowledge that you are providing about cars. Regards from Toronto!

This is the best looking car Mazda has created since the last generation 929.

There are so many great choices in this segment.  The 6, Accord, Fusion, Sonata. Hard to go wrong with any of them.

[Motormouth...]

Yes there will be a diesel this fall but no specifics yet. They are having a separate launch for that car later this year. Stay tuned....

Nice review as always Zach. I like the fact you don't hide your Canadian identity. Keep up the great work.

[navin]

yes both of them are indeed very nice. I have to say Mazda and Honda have come a long way bring out new and exciting cars. Mazda with the cx5 and 6 and Honda with the accord and civic. If you want to buy one of them just test drive them.

[FHemiCharger]

I love it! I am waiting for the diesel to test drive that one. I love the way it looks like it is RWD even though it is not. If it were AWD I would love it even more.

Nice! Im glad you have a new vid! Its been forever. Your vids are the best

[Psylobud]

Nice review.

In Europe there are two diesels available, a 147hp and a 173hp
I think they will use the more powerful dieselengine for US and Canada.
Torque for the 173hp is exeptional good with a whopping 310 lb-ft!

[snazari]

hey Zach, what do you prefer the new accord or this 6?

[SohailKhan-cckt]

Hey Zack great review as always.  I was interested in hearing more about the I-ELOOP technology on the new 2014 Mazda 6 but you didn't touch on that.  Any chance you can do a review on the Mazda 6 with I-ELOOP any time in the near future?

[jg]

does the audio system have mechanical buttons or only the touchscreen \ console dial?

[emantabrizi]

For the same price, you can purchase a 280-hp Honda Accord V6. While I have no doubt that Mazda can accomplish more with less, a 100-hp gap is very difficult to overcome.

[rickmartin]

Loving this new 6! Great looking car from a company that nows how to make driving fun. Might just trade in Kia Sportage for one?

[madjak]

I would be comparing the manual transmissions, and Honda makes one of the best...but I think Mazda is definitely on to something with this new design. Sporty & mature, but the new Accord is a pretty nice set of wheels too. Just wondering how those two would compare, since I don't get to drive all the cars I would like to.

[Rolltidex]

Also does the V6 Accord get 38 MPG? I think not since the V4 only gets

[JazzyChef]

hardly... what sonata are you looking at?

[emantabrizi]

You answered your own question. By the way, it's an inline-4...not a V4.
