- The new 2018 Mazda6 Signature brings a new level of sophistication to Mazda's mid-size sedan. Price as tested: $36,140 including destination. In this review we test the 0-60 time, check the brakes, kick the tires (metaphorically) and try out all the new and updated features. Engine is a 2.5-liter turbo (227hp, 310tq) with a 6-speed automatic powering the front wheels.

Honda designer bunked classes between 2017 and 2018
They should’ve done panoramic sunroof
No need
You can find old videos from 1986 calling Mazda the "Oriental BMW."
First, the Mazda 6 2018 Signature has EVERYTHING the Cadillac CT6 has for less cost....$52000 less! The one untruth is the mpg in the city. I get only 19 mpg because of the turbo.
I've heard reviewers complain that they felt the rearview camera was very low resolution and low quality, thoughts on that?
It is probably the worst in the class (we haven't tested a base model Camry, and not sure if that's the same or not as the XLE we recently tested, so we can't be absolutely certain about that.) Still, it works and it does have cross-traffic alerts so it does the job.
Sweet nice to know, I appreciate the response.
Can confirm camera resolution is low quality! It is not bad enough to hinder its function however.
I looked at an Audi 4 at nearly $50K that didn’t even have that feature. So maybe not the best, but for the price range at least it is available.
Just got my 2018 signature. Yep, the rear camera sucks. It gets you by, but I turned in a 2016 6, and that camera was nicer....
The leather in the Mazda is almost as supple as my thighs
Mazda killed the competition as usual. Camry the taxi car still looks for baby boomers so does the Accord. The Accord! the usual car your neighborhood dentist drives 😂😂😂
xanvavy you obviously haven't driven either one. I've had so many customer where they bought a mazda 6 and the car breaks down in 48 hours 1 week 1 month etc. So unreliable and they depreciate horribly.
@@bryceporterfield6159 yeah right! My wife had a 2015 mazda 6 GT that she leased for two years then I purshased the 2016 Mazda 6 GT here in the states. I drove My wifes 6 from Alberta, Canada to Windermere, Florida with no problems at all. Her car had over 80,000.00 miles and mine has 58,000.00.Your claim is not valid. The only reason we leased the 2015 mazda 6 in Canada was because we were there on a work contract. You sound like a car salesman. A broke car salesman. The mazda 6 is a well balanced car unlike the Camry and the Accord. Ive had Hondas as well as Toyotas. They are both reliable but their design is outdated. That new red interior inside Camrys top trim is hideous. The front end looks like they took it off a UFO. I cant deal with the fake vents they've placed on the body kit....is just cheap. The only thing that the camry has going is the engine. When it comes to the Accord; look at the ugly front end! it looks like a flat nose. The car looks outdated as well. The tail lights were also taken off a UFO and it has a flat ass. The inside hasn't age well and the only thing it has going is the engine; which again states that neither the Accord or Camry are well balanced cars. You know for a fact that you do not have any clients that did what your claiming, so stop making stuff up. Is pathetic! You are like a playstation owner talking crap about xbox so grow up!
You nailed it! Lol
wth that isnt even relatable wth is wrong with you?
xanvavy the Accord 2.0T Touring will smoke the 6 2.5T any day of the week. It’s more roomy, faster, better quality and much better to use day to day.
I'm not happy that, to get the added features, you have to get a more expensive engine that uses more gas. They should offer it in both turbo (as they used to in the Speed versions) and naturally-aspirated.
What you said is same with Toyota.
IMO, red lighting on the gauges looks better, more sporty, and easier on the eyes at night than any other colour.
Mazada need to create more room for back seat
It will be top 5 on list for family of 4 shopper
_near luxury market_
are you crazy? Mazda is near premium at most (and I fkin love the brand)
The infotainment on the accord is superior in every way.
Mazda 6 has AA and AC... sorry your wrong
And the accord is ugly as shit
Agreed - a chrome unibrow is not a good look. =P
@@mbenton6 Accord infotainment is absolutely better. I tried both.
Mazda knob thing is kinda neat though.
In the end, is the upgraded/uprated trims really worth the extra coin?...Sport v GT; Touring v Reserve/Signature?...Do the new interior appointments (and new turbo engine) elevate the ownership experience (enough) despite all having the same infotainment systems and same auto trans (Sport has 6spg manual)...is there enough diff in the 20% that changes btwn the trims to go to the next trim?...I'm a manual guy, so Sport trim for me (wish they kept it in the Touring) so I won't get much choice (currently have a cx-5)...Accord sport 1.5t or Civic Si?
If you want the advanced safety stuff the Mazda6 GT is a good value. However, the Accord Manual should be driven before making a decision. (We haven’t driven it yet - so cannot day if it’s a better choice.)
Driving Sports TV what type of opinion is that
One that takes into account that the person posting the question did not define much about what they wanted. If you have no interest in nav/leather etc., the upgraded interiors are pointless. If they're important to what you want in a car... yeah, kind of important.
As far as whether the higher trims are worth it, that really depends on how you value those things. Personally I wouldn't buy anything less than the GT, and I personally don't need Nappa leather, low resolution 360 camera, Sen wood, ultrasuede, frameless rear view camera, and gunmetal trim enough to pay for the Signature, but I like enough of the added features from the GT to the GT Reserve to justify the 2.5k extra price.
If you absolutely need a manual transmission and you want to pair it up with a sporty engine, the Accord is really your best (only?) option.
Tests, rivals and cons. A proper test. Thank you Ryan
0-60 is 6.5 sec according to Car & Driver Magazine
Not all 0-60 tests are the same. Car and Driver's 0-60 uses a 1-foot rollout (as do some other publications) before they start the watch and they also adjust based on environmental factors. As you can see on our video, we start the timer the moment the foot hits the floor and what you see is what you get. We believe our "foot to floor" methodology is a more accurate representation of real-world 0-60 since it takes into account transmission power transfer and tire grip limits, whereas the C&D test is much more forgiving about that. C&D should call their test 1-60.
6.4s according To car and driver and motortrend.
An owner(magfire) : 6.7s.
Edmunds : 6.7s.
Babs if it's 6.7 seconds then that's fucking slow for so much torque ,
Mazda 6 ❤️❤️😍
Zoom,Zoom.☺👍
If only mazda would manufacture larger vehicles
How is 8 second 0-60 impressive?
Actually its 6.2-6.4 seconds
Cause that torque cant be contained by FWD. Needs AWD but il buy this over accord then camry
Mazda really needs to work on their infotainment system and gauges. The Accord has the best in the market. The 7" digital gauge cluster let's you put your navigation, audio and phone info right in front of you and it also pops up on the HUD. Accord 2.0T is the best midsize sedan in the market.
The 0-60 time really poor for a turbo. I believe the fault is the cheap tires and AWD. To much torque for FWD car
Emanuele Favuzza
6.4s (car and driver motortrend alex on autos)is not bad.
Better tires should definitely help
I like to know who is your “target audience”? No actual numbers, no real details of the car, half baked presentation from someone that likes to hear themselves talk. Who watches this? Every other car channel presentation gives “REAL INFORMATION” hmm.
If you want someone regurgitating a press release there are plenty “social influencers” on CZcams you can tune into.
Driving Sports TV Also you showed the old Honda Accord while talking about the new one
Apparently you....you must be watching since you are commenting
Terrible... Wrong year accord.
The other on is ugly
False. This is not at all how G-vector control works, it has nothing to do with breaks...
I hate the side pillars on my Mazda 6. Blocks a chunk of the road from view lol also sedans not having rear windshield wipers suuucks imo
I hate rear windshield wipers they look awful
Ride is super stiff you feel like there are no shocks at all. It's a lousy car for Canadian roads
Amjad Sharif, respectfully disagree. I drove a CX3 for a year and that was too firm/stiff for me due to the torsion rears and couldn’t soak up bumps and was just jarring! After almost a year I got rid of it and instead got the 2019 6...way better handling car with ind rears and more quiet, luxurious feel and can soak up potholes easily! And I live in Cda...
Horribly Biased towards the Mazda 6 they didnt show the top trim of the Camry and they used the old body style of the Accord and didnt even show the Accord and Camry....Mazda is the last choice when compared to the 3 of them. I also laughed when they claimed its competitior is BMW and Acura not the same league.
+Bryce Porterfield Our reviews of the new Camry and Accord are now available on our channel. Check them out.

It's TRUE, smartpants
Camry, Accord, Mazda 6 were born to rival Small Luxury Sedan.

Mazda 6 is best in class for

Mazda6 win everywhere in the world(australia mexico...)
Babs I’ve heard of Roadshow. Emme is the best.
Bryce Porterfield. Unlike Toyota and Honda, Mazda doesn't have a luxury brand ( Acura and Lexus). So Mazda puts all of their goods in the Mazda 6 whereas the other three have to save their best for their luxury brands.
mazda holds the lowest resale value among the 3.he forgot to mention this very important info for potential buyers.
It is also the cheapest and dealerships will lower the price more than Toyota and Honda
Do not buy this car until it has AWD and a digital speedometer.
It's way better than its competitors... butthurt much
maurice benton no way.
czcams.com/video/Ey8FLtgvxUE/video.html
Digital speedo in the HUD (along with lane, cruise, and blind spot info). IMO, AWD isn't needed unless you live somewhere that gets lots of snow.
I loved my speed 6. So crazy fast.
