A User's Review: The best car they stopped making. 2019 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons michaelz08 Both cars have turbo-four-cylinder engines. Mazdas makes more torque while the Legacy's produces more horsepower. Both can run on regular fuel (but the Mazda will make more horsepower on premium, 250 vs 227). --- The Mazda's power plant is much more pleasant and engaging. The sound is better, the...

2019 Lexus ES 350 F Sport Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh There's only so much that can be done with the sound and feel of a four-cylinder engine. These never produce upscale noises, and that in the Mazda is no exception. In contrast, the V6 in the Lexus sounds and feels far more sophisticated. It also feels stronger, perhaps because...

2018 Mazda6 Signature Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh From 2014 through 2017, the Mazda6 got by with an unboosted 184-horsepower, 185 pound-feet-of-torque 2.5-liter four-cylinder. The car was reasonably quick with this engine, as long as you didn't mind revving it. Mazda's responsive six-speed automatic helped. For 2018 that engine continues in the first two trim levels, with cylinder... Comparison vehicle: 2019 Honda Accord |

2017 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5080 This is not the fastest car, especially in manual trans trim. Here where your shifting skill counts. But it is smooth. Good powertrain for the class. |

2015 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T Sport Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Passat's new 170-horsepower 1.8-liter engine suffers from little turbo lag, and it pulls well from low rpm. But the Mazda's larger, non-turbocharged, 184-horsepower engine sounds and feels much more thrilling when revved. The Volkswagen's manual transmission does little to enhance the driving experience. The shifter and clutch are... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Mazda Mazda6 |

My 2015 Mazda6 is amazing. 2015 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member3621 The engine with auto transmission is the best powertrain I've driven, ever. I've driven mostly manual trannys because of the directness and feedback. But I've tired of shifting. This transmission is flawless. It holds onto a gear if you're turning, it downshifts if you're in cruise and it goes faster... |

A sports sedan alternative worth consideration. 33k - still pleased overall. Tight getting in and out, the door wdow frames are shrt, making the top low. I hit my head on roof 2014 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons abiesalba1 Mazda seems to have struck a balance between power and high mileage with this car. It is no tire burner for sure, and I want more torque at lower RPM. But the power is there; when you need to push it along just step on it. Small communities need our... |

2014 Mazda6 Sport Review (manual transmission) Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Mazda6's 184-horsepower naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine can't go toe-to-toe with competitors' boosted fours and V6s. But compared to their base, efficiency-oriented engines, Mazda's new SKYACTIV 2.5 feels energetic and voices a satisfying snarl when revved. Acceleration roughly splits the difference between the quicker Honda and the slower Ford. ... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |

2014 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5854 Would love a bit more power, but adequate. |

Good practical car, and good looking too! 2004 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5709 Fun to drive. It has the V6 in it so it's quite powerful. |

2014 Mazda 6 review - Minnesota 2014 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member5860 The 184 HP Skyactiv four banger with variable valve timing is fine for this car unless you really like to push your vehicles hard. Auto transmission is very responsive. Safety features are good, especially like the lane change warning system and the backup cross traffic sensors in the rear quarter... |

4 years of MazdaSpeed 6 ownership 2007 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member2974 Despite the good performance I rate the engine a bit of a mixed bag. Very toruey in the mid range it runs out of puff fairly early on which does not exactly sceam sporty to me. Also very flaccid low down in the rev range which mean around town... |

2004 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons A member in Manitoba, Canada torquey long stroke engine with little power reserves at higher rpm does not correspond well with stick shift and the zoom zoom feeling sportiness, more of a cruiser for a family van/crossover with A/T, if you want to have some fun try the V6 |

2013 Hyundai Sonata SE Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh I was scheduled to test a 2013 Hyundai Sonata SE 2.0T, with a 274-horsepower turbocharged engine. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that for the first two days I drove this red Sonata I didn't realize that it wasn't the turbo. Granted, it didn't feel as effortlessly powerful as the related...

The best car nobody knows about 2013 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member4411 I got the 6 speed manual transmission paired with the 2.5 4-cylinder. Mazda has geared the transmission with very close ratios, to the point that even the overdrive 6th gear leaves the engine spinning at close to 3,000 rpm at 70mph. It is geared like a sports car.... |

2014 Mazda6 Grand Touring Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Efficiency at the expense of performance wouldn't pass muster with driving enthusiasts. The biggest surprise with the Mazda6 is how well the naturally-aspirated four performs. No, it can't go toe-to-toe with competitors' boosted fours and V6s. But compared to their base, efficiency-oriented engines, Mazda's new SKYACTIV 2.5 feels energetic and... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |

Surprising and often overlooked 2009 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member4755 Great! The transmission is silky smooth - it's hard to tell when the six speed shifts! Engine pulls strongly; 0-60 mph under 6 seconds with lots of power from the bored out Lincoln V-6 272hp engine. The coolest thing is how the transmission holds the shift so you can accelerate... |

2006 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member4753 Once the engine is revved to 3000 rpm or more, the power delivery is impressive, smooth and without torque steer. The AWD system, while not as sophisticated as an EVO or STI, is still capable of delivering surprising grip and performance. |

2005 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons A member in California, United States decent performance from v6 with mtx |

2009 Mazda Mazda6 Pros and Cons Member3636 mazda6 likes high rpms, under 4000 rpm nothing happens, i think V6 works better than 2.5 170hp 4 cylinder |
