I have a 2016 Mazda 6 GT. 3+ years on, I still ogle at it like it was just bought yesterday. I love its elegant design, and near-German premium interior. And, it's just fun to drive.
I don't know which one to pick. I am thinking of stepping out of my comfort zone and get a Mazda6
Rather than split hairs, why not conclude that these are both excellent cars. In fact, in my opinion, these are best two in the mid-size segment, along with the Camry. I test drove all three and it was a hard decision for me. I eventually settled on the Mazda 6 and I have zero regrets.
That made you decide on the 6 vs the Accord. I love the Mazda driver ergonomics and HMI, but their Mazda 6 is always the lesser attractiveness of all their other models. That Accord looks sharp and classy but Dallas flat on their entertainment center controls, dumb as f. They're interior is so so compared to Mazda
Isaiah White, good choice man! Same here..picked up a new 2019 GS (Sport) trim early this month that was on clearance...came from a CX-3 and the 6 was just a way better car! Even better saved 7K after taxes! I just didn’t like Accord’s CVT and 1.5T engine while Camry was boring and also expensive same as Accord. Compared just on base trim levels...
As a fellow Giants fan, you sold me on the Mazda 6. Looking forward to getting later this year
I like this video comparison format
Keep it up!
Maybe twice a month, bang one of these out
Both are pretty awesome cars. I bought a Honda Accord Touring, absolutely no regrets!
Honda’s front lights are the same with 2019 Honda Civic and I would like to hear your decision about which car you think is the best in the end of the video!
Love manual transmissions (owner of A4 6spd) EXCEPT in stop and go traffic which seems to be in almost every city.
The Mazda6 would be my pick (obviously) but the 2 things that makes me take a second look at the Honda accord is the 10 speed automatic and it has remote engine start which is a must for me.
I added a remote to my 2014 mazda 6 for less than 300$
@@andreinitescu1768 wow really!! Do you have a page where I can see it? I'm getting a Mazda 6 or 3 soon and I definitely wanna have that feature installed.
@@ivan72087 I am from Massachusetts USA and I got a viper system for 150$+150$ for the labor more than a year ago. They don't have a web page being a service shop. I really enjoy it, cools the car in the summer and warm it in the winter.
They also had a system for 700$ and I could start my car thru a phone app.
@@andreinitescu1768 Hi. I have just moved to Massachusetts. Which car do you recommend for an Uber driver?
I'm a honda fan, but in 2014 I bought a mazda 6 . No way was I going to get something with a cvt transmission. It now has 104,000 on it with no problems.
I don't like CVT's either, but at least Honda makes a decent one, at least in the Accord. The CVT's on the Nissans are worse.
@@dwilsonjr78 Yeah but so what?? Why are they using the pieceofkrap in the first place?? It is'nt superior for anything.... and they have to program it so the driver "imagines" they are switching gears.. It's the stupidest thing.. Mazda 6 and even VW give you expensive , proper transmissions.
Memo Padilla Honda gives you 10 speed if you get the proper engine. You can even get a six speed with the accord sport. Neither Mazda or VW offer that for their sedan confer parts.
@@Mano_on_Point That's my point.. Honda makes you move up to the nicest model.. Mazda and VW give you a real transmission in the very base stripped models.. Not a pieceofkrap CVT.
I know someone who bought brand new 2018 Accord at the time with the 2.0L T engine and 10-speed tranny. After a year, engine stalled and wouldn’t start...engine had to be overhauled and was in shop for 2 weeks! Honda’s reliability is not what it once was as they’re now plagued with oil dilution engine issues in their 1.5T and maybe even the 2.0T? I bought a Mazda 6 instead last week...proven 2.5L engine and 6-speed tranny!
I looked at a 2019 Mazda 6 with the 2.5 Turbo and a 2017 Honda Accord V6 Touring Coupe. Went with the accord as you only need regular petrol and it does not effect the 278 hp. So cheap to run
The Mazda6 2.5T has the same 1/4 mile trap speed of 93.4 mph as the Accord 2.0T 10-speed.
But the Malibu 2.0T has a higher trap speed than Accord 2.0T and is 0.4 faster around figure eight test and leads this field.
"...the quarter mile in 14.3 seconds at 99.4 mph."
"The 2017 Malibu lapped the figure eight in 26.3 seconds at 0.70 g lateral average and pulled 0.88 g around the skidpad." Where the 6 2.5T was slower at 26.7s
The Malibu 2.0T blows the Mazda6 2.5T(33 mpg hwy) away in highway fuel economy with 37 mpg. Motor Trend
The Mazda cannot put the power down or cannot distribute tire grip in braking on the figure-8 test and will be two full car lengths behind at .4 in arrears at 40 mph speed during the 27s test compared to the Malibu 2.0T. The Malibu will be quieter, ride better and have lower NVH than Mazda, regardless of what the magazines reviews say.
@@normt5463 Thanks for the info but domestic build quality is too sub par. All good when brand new but generally domestics fall apart a lot sooner
@@Blue-moon12 not this decade of GM vehicles that have been redesigned. They are amoungst the best in segment and usually the lowest prices vs over priced a d unreliable Japanese today.
@Sinister Veritas
You can't just claim your cars are the most reliable or the highest quality without having substantial evidence to back up what you're saying. Otherwise the networks won't run the spots. They want to see robust proof of the claim. And not necessarily because they're such nice, selfless people, but because the network wants to sell commercials to other companies as well. If one were to make a baseless claim about another, the other company might pull its advertising. Or sue. Or both.
There's no reason to doubt that Chevy did, as it claims, commission global survey taker Ipsos to conduct a 50,000-vehicle survey and that that survey showed Chevy was #1 in reliability. Car & Driver
@@normt5463 The accord 2.0t runs quarter mile in 14.1 secs at 102 mph and 0-60 in 5.5 secs per Car and Driver. Not the same as the Mazda 2.5t which runs it in 14.9 and 6.4 secs.
The accord is virtually the same speed wise as the Malibu but with much better reliability and resale value.
I wish the reviewers would concentrate on the car that they are actually reviewing and not spend so much of their time lamenting the versions that don't exist. I'm trying to decide between Accord and Mazda 6 with gasoline engines and front-wheel drive, and it doesn't help me to hear about the non-existence of a hybrid or an AWD version.
Hi Dave, hi Nolan. I too really wish the Civic had an AWD. I've driven a 2011 Mazda 6 for 9 years and loved it. It wasn't the best in heavy snow though and it's been having a lot of mechanical issues this year.
So I'm trying to purchase a used vehicle with AWD and looking to downsize, so I'm stuck between the 2017 Honda HRV and the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. Help please? What would you recommend?
I really don't understand what's up with your obsession with 4WD in America! It will do nothing for you in harsher climate; here the tires come into play, not 2WD/4WD. You car journalists should know better, yet you keep perpetuating the myth.
The only thing 4WD is goodd for over 2WD is the acceleration IF there's grip to begin with, and only in cars with 250-280+ bhp - anything lower than that, and 4WD is actually going to be worse both in terms of acceleration and fuel economy purely because of the weight.
Praetorius that’s because Americans have no clue about cars
I rather the Mazda 6 I own a 2014 Mazda 6 manual transmission red in color and damn she is sexy. I look back at her every time I park.
How's the reliability on it so far?
ivan720 It is great like any other vehicle as long as you properly maintain your service it will live longer.
I do that with my 2007 Mazda 3 true red
Just bought a 2014 6 with 55,000 miles. I have always owned Accords and Camry's (currently have 2008 Accord and 2005 V6 Camry). I am really in love with this car! I had no idea Mazda had stepped up their game so much! Super fun to toss around on curvy roads!
mazda classy honda sporty
strat 666 : generally Mazdas are sportier of the Honda/Toyota/Subaru/Mazda contenders...
You have that backwards
*Mazda classy & sporty
@@conservativedeveloper7289 +1
My only gripe is that Honda needs to bring that upgraded tech, and interior cabin to the TLX so we can have an AWD, sportier platform, and a somewhat premium product. Also, the TLX is proportionally perfectly sized. Most midsize luxury sedans are getting bigger and bigger. Even my non car friends are commenting about the size increases of sedans. If I want a larger vehicle, I’ll just get an SUV. More and more cars have to be sport oriented and sized correctly because SUVs are dynamically pretty good today and practical.
Regal Sportback 2.0T with torque vectoring AWD is under $30k.
I find it surprising that most reviewers find the Accord seats comfortable. I have one and I have driven almost 8k km and I haven't been able to find a good driving position. Seats are hard, the lumbar support doesn't feel good, the bottom bolsters eat into your legs causing pressure points, the steering wheel does not move close to you enough and it is hard which means your hands get sore after some time driving. The car is great but the driving position is the worst.
I tested both the Accord LX and EX. The EX seats are far more comfortable due to the adjustments. The LX seats, for me found that my legs would go numb after a while. Just wasn't comfortable.
Bruno Stocovick probably shouldn’t have bought it then.. I’m absolutely dumbfounded by people like you. Seems like that would be one of the most important things when shopping..
@@isaiahallen1346 you are right, I shouldn't have bought it. Unfortunately, those issues are not easy to detect during a test drive and if you search online you will see that I am not the only one that have experienced them.
Honda made a stupid decision to make the front seats of the Accord very narrow. That's why your thighs rest on the bottom bolsters and your shoulders stick out. They did this just to give a wider center console which in my opinion is useless. The Mazda 6 has very nice and wide seats.
Mazda 👍
In my opinion both the Honda Accord and Mazda6 are the best mid-sized sedans in the business and both are noted for great reliability. Which one is the best really depends on the consumer's need. For something that's fun to drive, has a premium feel without the luxury badge, and good looking, it's the Mazda. For something that's more fuel efficient, a little more comfortable but not boring, and a little more space, it's the Honda. It depends on who you are and your needs.
Are they better cars than the Kia Optima?
I see people fighting over which is better...but trust me you haven't lived until you drove a Mazda. Coming from a owner of a 2014 Mazda 6 Turbo
Mazda will always win the driving dynamics but their sales have always been a fraction of the hondas, ppl just really dont care

Resale and Depreciation:
Our Mazda CX-5(Edmund's) had a sticker price of $34,505 when it was new. After a year of driving, our odometer had about 17,600 miles on it. Assuming clean condition, the CX-5 had a private-party appraised value of $24,818.
This is a 28% depreciation, which is worse than our long-term fleet average of 22%. Edmund's
@@charterd back up that mouth with facts Jack or gtfo
Mazdaspeed3 had 266 hp with 280 torque. If that mazda 6 2.5 turbo with 250 hp and 310 torque doesn't equivalent to mazda speed. Then I don't know why.
Another Honda review which fails to highlight that no Honda model (no matter how much you spend) include a height adjustment for the passenger seat. For that "very standard" functionality, you'll need to buy an Acura.
Figure it out Honda! Every other auto producer did so about 30 years ago.
Honda!
Well, the Mazda is much, much better looking. Looks a class above the Honda
And it is fun to drive, at least for a family sedan
If you are shopping for anything other reason, go with the Honda
Seats, honda my entire legs is on the seat. Mazda is about 4 inch too short for my legs.
I rather have a Honda Accord V6 than a 4 cylinder Turbo.
My son's 2004 Accord V6 is still running strong.
@Ray Han I used to have the 2003 V6 Accord. I was getting comfortable over 30 MPG highway (32 usually). Don't remember city milage, but better than the rating. I don't think real life economy with the turbocharger 4 banger is much better.
Turbo is way faster then the v6

I like Mazda styling but the Honda reliability
Honda has been hit by reliability issues for a while now
@@Mike3464hj most of what I've heard is with the 1.5t having oil dilution in very cold weather really sucks for the people living in colder places.
Mazda is reliable car man.I am driving my second mazda now.I had Mazdaspeed 2007 and now j have Mazda 6 2017 touring no issues just do regular maintenance like oil and tire rotation.
@@SpinachLeaf yup..."In a memo sent to dealers, Honda’s manager of auto campaigns and recalls, Brad Ortloff, said oil in these engines could be diluted because of software settings or potential hardware failures. Some vehicles could experience “lack of power,” leading to cylinder misfires or engine noise." Consumer Reports
"But if the vehicles are stalling, as some owners have reported, this is a safety issue and Honda should conduct an official recall, which doesn’t expire.” Consumer Reports
@@SpinachLeaf and it happened to toyota north america years ago as well. Given that these issues are sporadic and not a yearly issue and also not accross their products; id say toyotas, mazdas and hondas are still relatively realiable. These sre not like the chevy ford or German cars,even kia Hyundai, that have consistent issues year in and out
1st! 6 all the way!
Even the Malibu 1.5t is quicker than the Accord 1.5t in Motor Trend handling test:
"The Malibu lapped our figure-eight course in 27.4 seconds averaging 0.63 g through the process and managed 0.84 g average during lateral acceleration tests"
2018 Accord 1.5t only registered a lateral grip of 0.81g versus 0.78 and a figure-eight time of 27.7 seconds at 0.61g
A Malibu 1.5T can be had for US$13,000 good luck finding Japanese competition that inexpensive.
While I like both vehicles as they are presented, the big deal-breaker for me is the front-wheel drive format. I currently drive a front-wheel drive RX which is something I will NOT repeat. Whatever vehicle I purchase later on will be either AWD or rear-wheel drive.
Regal Sportback 2.0T with torque vectoring AWD is under $30K.
Hi. I just moved to Massachusetts from California. Do you recommend I buy an AWD car than a front-wheel drive car?
Speed 6.
Honda Accord gets my vote, but prefer the Honda Accord Sport 2.0T model, 10 speed. I got mine for $26k, brand new. Love it! The accord wins all comparisons against the Camry, Mazda 6, and even the lonely Altima. The Accord is also the fastest among all its competitors. There are parts of the Mazada 6 interior that look nicer, but the Accord interior is still a wonderful place to be. I upgraded the audio system in my Accord Sport since only the Touring model gets the premium system. Alpine makes an amp specific for the new Accords that work perfectly for the factory speakers. So if you get any model below the Touring model, look up the amp and you will be impressed with the stereo and only about $200 (may be less).

The Accord is a terrible value.
Our(Edmund's)2018 Honda Accord EX-L stickered for $30,865, including destination. Over the course of a year, we added 13,302 miles to our odometer. In this condition, the Edmunds TMV Calculator valued the Accord at $23,815 based on a private-party sale.
That works out to 22.8% depreciation, which is slightly worse than the fleet average of 22% average. The depreciation level is even worse when you consider that the majority of our cars pass the 20,000-mile mark. Edmund's longterm Accord

Mehhh for the accord..i love the 2.4Na accord from the previous gen,Mazda wins out this one
I thougth this were full size sedan not mid-size!
@Randy Jackson ok! Which one is a full size sedan!?
Actually you wouldn't necessarily be wrong in stating the Accord is really a full sized car rather than the classification of mid sized. The LX Accord without a sunroof has a passenger volume of 122.3 cubic ft where as a classified full sized car like the Chevy Impala has 123.8 cu ft of interior volume. Now the Impala has a huge 18.8 cu ft of trunk space compared to the Accords 16.7 cu ft. The reality is, many of the classified mid sized sedans being built now really have full sized dimensions. Accord, Sonata, Altima, Malibu's are just as large and if not in some cases larger than a full sized sedan. IT's one of several reasons we are starting to see even more full sized sedans be discontinued. The Malibu is just too close to the same size of an Impala and is much more affordable. IF reference material is requested, just look up Edmunds Spec's of the mid sized sedans of the car in question and compare.
@@travispowers1704 thank you!!

Which car is better to buy for an Uber driver?
Mazda 6💎💎💎💎💎💎👌🏾
Mazda for me
Mazda 6 Rules!!!
I love Mazda, have one myself, but I think the Honda wins this one.
Honda/Acura is so far behind they had to find someone to invest in. So GM was the wise choice for AV and EV tech.
Honda’s own self-driving development program isn’t close to anything like that. The company said last year that it likely won’t release its first Level 4 self-driving system until 2025. (A “Level 4” system is one that is limited, typically to areas that have been carefully mapped. You can learn more about the “levels” of autonomous-vehicle technology here.) Motley Fool
Honda all the way😍
People who buy midsize sedans don't buy manual transmissions. Only UA-cam car reviewers complain about this.
I know I'm a "dying" breed and only a fraction, pretty much an anomaly at this point but...6MT for me is a non-negotiable, even at 36 years old with 2 kids. We're becoming robots, with smart phones, smart cars, smart thermostats, smart TVs, etc. I refuse to give up my last oasis of freedom, the manual transmission. Thank you Honda for continuing to provide that secret handshake. It's a shame that people are knocking on Honda's 6MT in the Accord calling it cheap yet they don't say a word to other OEMs for completely abandoning MT.
Not even close how much better looking the Mazda is

The Malibu 2.0T blows the Mazda6 2.5T(33 mpg hwy) away in highway fuel economy with 37 mpg. Motor Trend
The Mazda cannot put the power down or cannot distribute tire grip in braking on the figure-8 test and will be two full car lengths behind at .4 in arrears at 40 mph speed during the 27s test compared to the Malibu 2.0T. The Malibu will be quieter, ride better and have lower NVH than Mazda, regardless of what the magazines reviews say.
@Ray Han Mazda has the lowest retention rate in the industry.
Resale and Depreciation:
Our Mazda CX-5(Edmund's) had a sticker price of $34,505 when it was new. After a year of driving, our odometer had about 17,600 miles on it. Assuming clean condition, the CX-5 had a private-party appraised value of $24,818.
This is a 28% depreciation, which is worse than our long-term fleet average of 22%. Edmund's
IF my choice were these two, I would go with the Accord. I actually did have this choice 6 weeks ago, when my (choice words that would be edited out) 2015 Chrysler 200c with ditsy 9 speed had it's 3.6 liter v6 engine fail on me catastrophically, (anyone interested on how this engine fails, check out Chryslers 3.6 cam issues, this issue caused alot of damage to my car).
Anyhow, I tested nearly all mid sized sedans and small to mid sized SUV's. But chose the base engine sedans rather than SUV's and no longer wanted the too expensive cars that are getting way too close to $40,000 now a days. Ultimately it came down for me between the Accord EX and the Altima SV. While I liked the Accord, the 1.5 liter and that CVT ran great, the Altima ran nearly as well and without a turbo. Plus the Altima was just a much better deal for end of year sales.
When I compared the Mazda 6 2.5 liter, while it was a very nice car, I just wasn't anywhere near as comfortable in it or enjoyed driving it as much as the Accord. Not going to go on and on why but the great thing is anyone of the sedans out there now (exception to Chryslers!) are great cars.
Nissans are not what they used to be years ago and I passed on buying a new one like what Scotty Kilmer recommended.
Malibu 2.0T with 9-speed runs rings around these for $25K.
The Mazda6 2.5T has the same 1/4 mile trap speed of 93.4 mph as the Accord 2.0T 10-speed.
But the Malibu 2.0T has a higher trap speed than Accord 2.0T and is 0.4 faster around figure eight test and leads this field.

@@DougCeleste Hi. Is a Mazda 6 car good for an Uber driver?
@@ItsLuwee Sorry I cannot help you since i have never owned a Mazda. I have heard pro's and con's on Mazdas and the 6 seems to get more positive comments than the 3. Best wishes on the car you buy for your Uber work. Check out Consumers Reports and reviews on UA-cam to decide what you want. I am 67 and have owned only FOUR cars in my lifetime. I still have my 1998 Camry with only 139K miles on it and I am the original owner. BEST car I have ever owned!
Accord always!
Our(Edmund's)2018 Honda Accord EX-L stickered for $30,865, including destination. Over the course of a year, we added 13,302 miles to our odometer. In this condition, the Edmunds TMV Calculator valued the Accord at $23,815 based on a private-party sale.
That works out to 22.8% depreciation, which is slightly worse than the fleet average of 22% average. The depreciation level is even worse when you consider that the majority of our cars pass the 20,000-mile mark. Edmund's longterm Accord
@@normt5463 are you dumb?
Sadly, manuals are all going away...too limited a market and too expensive for mfgs. to offer as an option....besides, know of anyone under age 30 that has even driven a manual?
Happy Hertzair The Accord comes with a manual on the Sport trim
Dante E : thats good, I hope they continue that option....
Happy Hertzair manuals are not going away buddy
A lot of people including teenagers in Europe drive manual, It's not a rocket science. Manuals are going away only in expensive cars, also.
Honda is another level, the best sedan
You obviously have not been inside a Mazda 6.
@@conservativedeveloper7289 Is the Mazda 6 a good choice to buy for an Uber driver?
Honda all the way
Mazda please.
All HONDA did with the new ACCORD is take the CROSSTOUR, chopped the hatch off and taaa-daaaa. UNORIGINAL. MAZDA 6, WINNER
Mazda hands down
But the Honda is so ugly. The mazda has a European style appearance
Accord interior is best in the class
