Mazda Mazda6 Signature | A Passionate Sedan for Passionate People
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 тра 2019
- Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review lots of cars. Today I’m driving a 2018 Mazda Mazda6 Signature trim, that’s the super fancy one. That means it offers a more-powerful 2.5-liter turbocharged engine rated at 250 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque…but only if you run 93 octane. As the most expensive Mazda6 the Signature trim is priced around $36,000. That’s not cheap but it does include fancy features like heated and ventilated front seats, Nappa, special wood trim, and a 360-degree camera system.
To be more specific, the car I’m driving is Kelley Blue Book’s long-term Mazda6 test car. It’s a 2018 model but given the minor updates Mazda made for 2019 KBB’s long-termer remains a good example of what you’d buy from your nearest Mazda dealer. For a full rundown of our adventures so far during our one-year test, click here: www.kbb.com/ca...
And just so the premise is ultra-clear, this is not a comprehensive review but rather a casual look at the Mazda Mazda6 Signature, while I live my normal life. Simple. Fun! #MicahDrives

Having owned this car for almost a year, I can say this is a really comfortable cruiser. There's tons of torque for get up and go but if you floor it even on completely dry pavement, it'll spin the tires. Any spirited driving will require wider and stickier tires and an anti roll bar would probably help with the body roll.
Michael Zhu I love comments from actual owners. Thanks for chiming in!!
Also an owner of a Machine Gray Metallic Sig for a year this July. Car jas just gotten better with age. The engine has limbered up and can really take me off guard when passing. Off the line is managed because front wheel drive, but passing is very quick. The interior is also wearing well. Fyi, Mazda doesnt believe in adjusting steering feel with sports button. Only throttle respone is affected by sport button. Also that foot lighting is the accent lighting only available in Sig trim. In addition to all four footwells, there are also LEDs in door pockets and shining down from map light area. You can shut this off in settings. For the money I don't really know a car that matches the overall packaging and style of this 6 Signature for the money. And I drove ALL the competition. IMO. Nice review as always. I have to check and see if my wheel shakes when I slap it.
Oh forgot to add, the car's dynamics improve a bit with different rubber. The Falkens it comes with are soft for NVH and comfort. I swapped out for yoko Advan Sport AS and noise increased, but grip and dynamics improved and wheel spin was reduced quite a bit. Fwiw
Definitely enjoy your honest and useful reviews...
I really really enjoy your videos. I can't compliment you enough man. I've watched others I'm subscribed to but I basically heard them so long I know what they gonna say In the channels. Again compliment to you for being real👍🏾 and different.
I like this better than the new Mazda3. That's one sexy car.
The seats are classy!
I love the Mazda6 as well and you are the first reviewer to voice my concern about the next generation. Hope to the car gods they realize what they have here and don't screw it up! Despite you're not finding your gorgeous example as perfect as I would, you sure are smiling alot in this video. In addition to doing your edits, maybe Evie could also count your smiles and that could be factored into your evaluation as well?
Smile count! That’s awesome.
Micah fondles his cars with verve
LordWinter Damn straight!
Yes please, absolutely continue yelling the segment names!!!
Rigo M. COMMENTS!!!!!
14:39. The Mazda6 has adaptive “stop-and-go” cruise control. If you push the “resume” button after the car has come to a complete stop and the car in front moves forward, the car will continue to drive the preselected cruising speed depending on the car’s speed in front of you.
Saving up for this same exact car.....Chrystal bule M6.....black interior....sunroof....
Had a mazda protégé 03.....loved that car!!
Love Mazda's....never had any maintenance issues.🥰🥰🥰
Wow, another peculiar person that wants the heated and cooled seats to work simultaneously. Yuri where you at!?
It is a touchscreen only when stopped, also you only need to tap the gas pedal when at a full stop using the radar cruise control and it will go back to the target speed
I wish Mazda would sell the station wagon version of this beauty here in the US.
Amerivans don't really buy station wagons.
Micah, great review. Love the current 6, and the signature level interior is subtle and elegant, like the exterior styling. Sorry that you got somewhat lost on the drive, but I saw some familiar LBC spots, so thanks for the travelog. Oh, and the emotion should be ZOOM-ZOOM, buddy! 😉
I love my 2018 Mazda 3 so much! It’s such a joy to drive and look at! The inside is beautiful!
I watched your Ducati review! I actually thought it was really cool, so I think you should keep doing them. That said, great review of the Mazda6.
Micah, the interior is very nice. I like it.
Great review and the mention of Ministry!! Loved "Everyday is Halloween" back in my high school clubbing days!
Man Micah, you are just 😍👍
Another amusing review. BTW, I'm a fondler from way back.
rm brooklyn We’ll just keep that between us. 🧐
I just want this car. 🧐
It does have a touch screen if you are stopped or in park.
We leased an ‘18 Signature and loved it. Then leased ‘20 CX-9. Wanting to get back into a sedan at the end of the 9s lease we decided to buy instead of lease. We drove the ‘23 Camry, Accord, Sonata and thought none of them compared to our ‘18 Mazda6. So we searched and found a pristine 2020 Grand Touring and bought it…and saved a bunch of money over a new MSRP priced sedan from the Big 3 sedan sellers. We feel we have the better car. And she looks great sitting next to our Polymetal grey ‘21 MX-5 RF Club BBR!
NO WAY!
Your Ducati review was fantazmagoric!
Keep them coming!
Micah about your motorcycle and helicopter reviews don't give up just because a few had limited attention. Keep on making them. eventually people will get used to them.
I like the brown interior at least it’s different from the average beige,gray, and black that most other mainstream auto companies produce.
you gonna smack every car from now on wont ya ? :)
😂😂😂
You name dropped Ministry in a car video.... You sir earned yourself a new sub!
Lain Hiro Glad to have you aboard!
We are about to go do a final test drive and purchase a Touring trim this weekend if the price is right. I've done a lot of research and pretty much eliminated the competition. Don't want a CVT or Turbo (hence the Touring trim level) and the Camry is too pricy for the same options and the new 8 speed seems to still have some bugs that Toyota needs to work out. My first choice would have been a Camry if it wasn't for the price and the transmission issues. I don't understand why there isn't as much reviews that focus on the engine and transmission performance and reliabilty. Those are the two most expensive parts of the car and people care more about Apple car play? Reallly...... I love the look of the 6 as well.
Freemarkets1236 go for the 6
We picked up the 6 Monday night. Good price with over 5K off in discounts plus a few extras tossed in. So far so good. I just talked to a friend who has a Mazda Tribune from early 2000s and says its been very reliable. Then I just saw Scotty Kilmer release a video warning about the new Camry transmissions. For him to warn against a Toyota is saying something. haha The video was posted the day after we picked up the 6.
Lmao at the Driving Miss Daisy reference. Not everyone will be old enough to get that. But I am. 😂
Wonder who's backpack has seen more adventures, yours or Dora's? 😂
Outstanding review of what I think is best in it's highly competitive class. The infotainment system is a touch screen when the car is not in motion.
Update: just finished the video where you mentioned the touchscreen, so disregard my last comment.
Always enjoy your videos. Like the looks of the Mazda 3...inside and out. Have always liked the fact that their fun cars to drive. Not a huge fan of the dark brown interior color, but do like that chrome/aluminum accent that goes across the upper part of the seat. They should set give you choices of interior color ...like saddle, white, beige, etc.
They offer a lighter interior color for the Signature trim which is basically a white interior
I thought the infotainment screen was touchscreen when the car is not in drive? But in drive you have to use the rotary knob? i test drove a 2019 CX-9 Signature this Saturday and that's how it was set up.
I have a 2018 Mazda 6 and out of curiosity went and smacked (and banged) the wheel and absolutely no shake or vibration. Not sure what's going on with KBB's example.
This was and awesome review. Very honest and I feel the same way about the car. Just ordered the GTR version and cant wait to hit the acelerator in that thing!!
I'm glad you opened your own channel.
I really enjoy your informal reviews. Test drove the Signature last year and it's remarkable how close to a luxury car it is. I heard that an AWD version might be coming with the 2020 version as well which should drive it to the near top of my next car list.
DangerousDan I heard that as well. Also the next gen mazda6 could be going RWD. I’m waiting to hear more. I’m wanting to stick to Mazda, and if they go the RWD/AWD route I will definitely get one as my next car.
Howdy, amazing video as always!😸😸
I myself is fearful of the upcoming 4th Generation of this car has well, because manufacturers always seem to have a hard time top their really good models.
Don't be fearful, Mazda absolutely nailed the latest generation Mazda 3, & I expect no different for the Mazda 6
I agree, I'm afraid that Mazda will go further upmarket with the new 6 and I won't be able to afford it
@@TalismanPHX To be honest with u I don't see the 6 costing more than 40k when the new one arrives.
@@NOFATCHICK1 let's hope so.
Screw formats. I like how your videos are kind of your own thing and you seem to wing it. There's plenty of "format heavy" Car Reviewers out there. For that I can watch Alex or Savagegeese or whoever. Either way... you do you, boo.
Just FYI the 250 hp is achieved by using 91 doesn’t need to be 93
Hey Micah, could you do a quick review of the 19’ Mazda 3 Hatchback? Any chance of testing the 6-speed manual? Love the content, and the fam videos. 🤘
Wow that's interesting about the wheel shaking. I do like this car alot though - great looking!
Whoa I had no idea Paul Rudd did car reviews! 😂
Watching Micah smack the streering wheel made the little voice in my head go "Let's give a try on our 2016 CX 5" it didn't work hahahahahaha wonder if it's just a Mazda 6 feature 🤔😂 by the way your reviews are the best
I worry about them screwing up the new Mazda 6 as well. Interesting that Mazda has announced they're working on an inline 6 cylinder engine and rear drive platform. Hope the new Mazda 6 is a beneficiary. I also hate that you and the Mazda 6 have 199 comments, so, fixed that ! 👌😎👍👍
Love the blue and brown color combo
great video Micah! Again!
Beautiful sea and in red and in blue! So why hasn’t the industry considered this company a luxury brand? Is it because of its specs? Educate me please 😆 love your honest reviews!
I love my 6.
Funny intro, steering wheel is excited to go for a drive
Hey MIcah Awesome. Love this cars style. I know it is getting a tad old but you can’t deny still looks better then many. One of the things I love most about Micah is HIS FULL TIME ENERGY. If you’re taking something let me know. Hahaha.I use to have that kind of energy until Sleep deprivation set in over the past 6 years. Now I feel like a stressed zombie. LOL
gene978 Well, with no college degree and some pricey hobbies I’ve got powerful motivation to keep expanding my horizons. Fear of landing back in my old janitorial job has proven a great source of energy!
As for sleep, you have my sympathies, Gene. Over the years I’ve struggled with occasional bouts of insomnia. It’s hard to be your best with an exhausted brain. Please take a few days to relax. If anyone asks tell ‘em Micah said it was OK. 😉
Micah Muzio Thanks for the Advice Micah. With your vocabulary I would of sworn you have a a few degrees. Learning to fly is not child’s play. I am in the same helicopter (oops I mean boat) when I left Trade School I had already been working FULL TIME for years. I was the manager of this restaurant in Baldwinville, Ma. making very good money at the time. College wasn’t even a thought. But when the boss sold the business the new owners I knew just were not going to pay me what I was making. With a little luck I tried my first business at age 22. What did I know besides cooking and working the crowds other than ordering, and handling employees. I lost it in 6 months Mostly due to a bad landlord (who ended up in jail) and lie to me about installing A/C and fixing our water issues. But because of that experience I was discovered and asked to take over the Airport Diner and I was humbled but said no after that terrible experience. They kept on my until I said yes. I had no money left. Just $100. it was a turn key business and I went in with one days worth of food and had to use family as they gave me 48 hours to open. 4 days later in 1985 I had profited $648 after all costs. Everyone wanted to see the NEW guy running the place. I was shy but I think I cooked pretty good. Homemade soups, and hot dinners. Few homemade desserts and we where known and still are for our Home-fries. Now we are in our 3rd diner and we shop daily for Produce, and bread and buy mostly local. The completion in the area I am in has grown in the past 34 years I cannot count how many breakfast/lunch Diners, Drive Thru breakfast. Most don’t last 1 year. But they all start with low ball prices trying to get customers. Getting help these days is the biggest problem and social media is second biggest issue. COmpetion says things against us on Google, Yelp, FB that just are not true to start people chatting of what ever it is they are saying. Like latest one is we charge $9.99 for 1 order plain pancakes on Google Business. Simply not true and the afternoon she posted this no order of pancakes (PLAIN) were sold and we get $6.75 for 3 buttermilk pancakes with real butter and syrup. you can even add meat for only $1.25 more $7.99 but people will believe what they read and it brings the rating of our business down. Google and Yelp do not take down reviews that are written by discruntled former employees or by competitors. It’s a very poorly designed system especially when a business like us work extra hard in every area to make the guests want to come back for more. Another recent FB post was “Their refrigerators don’t work” people responding, I bet the Board of Health has NEVER been their. It was funny that day he came and as always we got ZERO infractions. Not 1 issue found. He told me he would bring his family here to eat as the place is spotless and day dated all foods in walk in cooler. They are thorough when they inspect. But if someone post negative Joe public spreads the word that we are disgusting. So social Media and employees have made what was once a very hard working business but happy to constantly explaining myself and worrying what is going to be written next. So, can we switch jobs for a week. ;)
Please do a follow up on the steering shake. I hope it’s not Parkinson’s. On another note, this is an award winning video. Mark my words! ❤️#TheLoonsNormanTheLoons
when he floored it i was like that must be the turbo. The n/a one was slow to me
Ministry?! This is why I love Micah.
Daniel Collin 🤘
The car does starts moving on it's own after a complete start
I like the Helicopter stuff. Please do not stop Helicopter stuff..🙏
Speedboats too!
Micah, that Driving Miss Daisy comment. ❤ Good review bud.
Mazda ROCKS!!
As a 2014 Mazda 6 driver, I've been a little curious about the newest versions since I am probably getting close to trade in time on my car. In particular, the turbocharged variant catches my eye.. Even when I bought my car, I wished it had just a little more power. The new turbocharged engine seems to fill that role very well. Your review is very helpful. I may very well be eyeing a new signature model Mazda 6. Thanks for your insight. ALSO, as a pilot, I am sad to hear you won't be posting heli vids anymore. I would say maybe create a different channel and post them there. There are a lot of people in the aviation community who are on UA-cam, but not nearly as many are heli pilots. I am a ASEL PPL and your heli vids make me think more and more about making helicopter my next rating. Wish I could fly in an Enstrom, everything for rent around here is a Robinson or Bell variant.
Trevor Smith I actually do have plans to start a dedicated aviation channel. Just gotta fit that into my existing workflow.
Fantastic! Consider me subscribed! Thanks for the reply.
I've never heard someone refer to it as the Mazda Mazda6, usually just as Mazda6 and occasionally just "6" when it's established the conversation is about Mazda or the Mazda6.
NeoGee When I first got my 2018 Mazda6, seeing “Mazda Mazda6” on documents and websites confused me at first. Technically, the model name IS “MAZDA6”. The 6 is not standalone. For example, on the trunk of a Camry, you don’t see “TOYOTACamry”.
idk, no windowless white van, no adorable child yelling "whee!" from the backseat and no Micah making his mom cry on camera. But, on the plus side: Verve! And the shimmying steering wheel!
Jeff Loudy I’ll let Mother Muzio know her services are needed for my next video. 😭
I heard rumors of RWD for the 2020 Mazda6 along with an I-6 engine available. Fingers crossed!
don't count on it. 99.5% chance it remains FWD/AWD
kk P, like I said, it’s a rumor. The clamoring is loud, but we should take it with a grain of salt and see what happens.
Yes it Will happen for 2020 Wait and see.
I’m on a marathon watching Micah’s reviews
The first 5 secs and u got a new subscriber
manufacturing defect Glad to have you aboard!
What is your suggestion for a middle-class SUV. I enjoy comfort as opposed to off-road capability as I live the mundane city life, only cool trips I take are to local coffee shops. I'm interested in looks, long-lasting durability, and resale value. I'm not enthusiastic about the Rav 4, Highlander, CRV or Pilot. I'm scared to leave the Honda and Toyota franchises since I was burned by VW. Would you consider buying a couple years older luxury like an Acura MDX or Lexus?
Marques Rubi 2019 Mazda CX-5, has the luxury feeling of an Acura or Lexus with the smooth ride quality of one as well
If it had torque vectoring duff with 30*70 proportion, it would be the bast car in the world. Aluminum suspension arms along with adaptive dampers and sway bars wouldn't hurt too.
Hey Micah love your reviews but I was wondering if you'd be up for reviewing base models of cars like the Mazda 6 and Mazda 3? I feel like everyone reviews the signature trim that most people can't afford :(
ajajaja
SunnyD88 Most definitely. But it can be hard to find base models in the press fleet.
Yeah man. Maybe KBB could buy one?? I second that idea
@@MicahMuzio I appreciate the reply! I totally get it since companies want reviewers to be show casing their best of the best cars but I really like Mazda's base models because the interior and exterior of their base model cars, especially the Mazda 6, are very similar to the expensive trims for alot less money.
Brown > black interior all day long. You might also point out that other interior colors are available. You complain as if the one you're driving is the only spec available.
I like the new format
Oddsmuon Thanks for the feedback. I’m still trying to dial this thing in, so I very much appreciate the input!
@@MicahMuzio Another feedback: I prefer videos that are 10 to 15 mins in length. I can't hold my attention for longer (must be a millennial thing). Even knowing your videos are not fast-paced, professional reviews, I think a middle ground between your laidback style and succinct video can be established.
Oddsmuon 👍
I got the 2016 Mazda 6 I sport but now I want this one 🥴
What color is this Mazda? So pretty 😍
I had a Mazda6 Grand Touring and for only 184HP and 185 lb-ft of torque, it delivered it so early that in local LA driving it felt like enough. Passing on the 5? Not so much. I was looking forward to the 2020 Signature trim, but opted for a Volvo S60 R-Design and, although I love Mazdas (own a 2016 CX-5 GT and had a Mazda5, too) I'm not sure I'll be back. Time will tell. I am curious to see a redesign.
*2016 Mazda6
How do feel about the Volvo after 3 years…?
Shaking cause you slapped it!
Loved the Ministry tangent... New show idea: “Micah Muzio’s Musical Musings featuring JF Musial”
LSD transmission or one wheel drive with TCS? I'll never buy anything without LSD again.
Needs lighter interior for the top spec model and better gauges. Other than that there isn’t much to complain about. With the accords hideous new body style this might be the way to go.
Rob Catorce not on the top spec (Signature) trim. Only the brown is available unless maybe you’re overseas or something (I’m in U.S.)
2018 worldwide Mazda sales: 1,600,000
2018 worldwide Ducati sales: 53,004.
It's not you, Micah.
What color is this?
does this car give a flapping sound while accelerating ? is it normal ?
Im thankful mazda didnt make a sport mode on the miata
Like for the “this is a drivers car so … fuck them” 😂 nice shoes too man drop the of the colorway
15:58 I do like Mazda, but what the hell, non of the trucks are shown on the eye-bird view! what's the use of the 360 view then?
YEAH! Why do people park over the sidewalks/curbs at stores? Whats up with dat? :)
C-man footwell
I like the new format. Even the screaming intros. As for the Mazda, I find the exterior styling timeless. It will age much more graceful than something like an Altima. But that interior color is a fail. Brown/gray looks like faded black. Personally, I prefer more contrast.
Just wish it had a pano roof
Can Micah drive an Audi allroad for me? I have wagon fever!
luv your car reviews......foot fetish wish you took off one of your sneakers
I will never get tire of watching Micah . He is so hot and his charisma it’s to die for and such a fun guy 😍
Why are you geh?
Hi Micah. How do you find the cabin noise level?
pc7872 Unremarkable. Neither exceptionally loud nor exceptionally quiet.
@@MicahMuzio Thank you so much for your insights! I'm changing car in Sept, so far it's Mazda 6 or the new E class.
pc7872 I think the folks at Mazda would be proud you’re cross-shopping the E-Class. 🤘
Some people attach bobbleheads to their dashboards. Micah attaches a bobblehead steering wheel to his dashboard. 😂
It’s a touch screen under 5mph
Mazda does that so you arent like those douches that uses their TOUCHSCREEN phones while driving!! Geeeeeeeeez
@@scaldon2 The law tells you not to touch ur phone screens.
The steering wheel is Zooming Zooming over and over again.
2:19 a car passed by with a passenger head outside the window?
It’s a dominoes pizza sign haha
I'm going to guess the car maker is...... Ferrari? They're the only ones bold enough to name their car [Manufacturer name] The [Manufacturer name].
@16:06 this is a requirement at all 711s
Looks like he needs to do a video of testing razors so Micah can shave.
Good review, bad news for motorcycle lovers 😑. Will go to cry in the shower...
Dulnyavka 😂
I guess I'm in the minority that enjoyed the motorcycle review 😭
