Why is the 2021 Mazda 6 Signature the BEST midsize sedan to buy? #MAZDAQATAR #MAZDA6 #MIDSIZESEDAN

Hey guys what's up it's joe ready from ladies rides i'm back at one of my favorite special locations because we have one of my favorite mid-size sedans this is a 2021 mazda6 this is the top trim that signature trim and boy oh boy we got turbocharged power but before we dive into this turbocharged midsize sedan from mazda let's talk about what's going on here mazda this brand that's been around since the late 1920s but what's fascinating originally it wasn't about cars for them they made another item change fora vehicle that actually starts with a/c corkit wasn't until 1933 when Mazda made a vehicle change for called the mazda goit was a small three-wheel pickup truck since then boy oh boy have things changefor this iconic japanese brand now what's interesting is that being a child growing up in the 1980s it was always about those rotary powered mazda rx-7s i remember when mazda won the coveted 24 hours of le mans first japanese car company to ever do that and also the first and only company to do it with a rotary engine.

    Now if you fast forward to the 21st century and i say Mazda Mazdas a lot of people they would reply miata that's what they're known for but you know what the rotary engine may not be around anymore but they're still bringing that zoom zoom experience even though they don't put in their advertisements because they're trying to be this grown-up polished car company that zoom experience is what makes this mazda6 and the other mazdas in the lineup so special because of that great driving engagement so let's go ahead let's dive into this soul red it's that brand identifier for mazda soul red mazda6 and i want to find out is this the mid-size you should be buying over a sonata over a honda accord and over a toyota camry let's go ahead and find out right off the bat the style what's interesting is that this is not a new design it's been in existence for a few years now but it's still looking super fresh let me explain why at the front of the business mazda does a great job on headlight housings and tail light housings and i think that's one of the reasons why it still looks fresh look at the way it kind of tapers in as you come close towards the grill on the inside it's all blacked out of course you're going to get led headlights led daytime running lamps and what's wonderful is that the headlights are actually adaptive so what that means is that they actively move with the steering wheel and what's fascinating a lot of people think that's new technology back in 1949 tucker automobiles actually made that setup it was a center headlight that actually moved with the steering wheel here it is 21st century.

            On this mazda 6. as we work our way down i love the way they take that nice bright shiny chrome trim on our signature setup here no fake vent no flat black no gloss black everything beautiful sole red a little bit of chrome to kind of tie in both the top and the bottom portion and then as we come across the center grille i love how the hood has a nice waterfall sloping effect into the front fascia if you notice the chrome trim here mimics the actual setup of the mazda logo the way it kind of drops down and extends on both sides instead of going gloss black they go with a nice metallic gray really just gives it exquisite styling you got your forward facing camera and then even the bottom portion the way that they extend the front fascia no need for any other bodywork to stick on looks great nice low and wide now when we get up onto that hood it's the simplicity that really equates to beautiful styling on a mazda the way that the body lines start on the front fascia just go into the hood and just drift away right into the a-pillar like a feather just floating in the wind as we come around the bend.

     What are we seeing special on our signature edition look at those wheels hand polished right from japan love the multi-spoke it's a 19-inch wheel looking clean with our setup they are a little narrow i wish they were a little bit more wide it's a 225 on the width but the great news is nice bright brushed aluminum look 19 inch wheel and it works well with the sole red color one of the things i also love on the side here is the fender look at how it's got a nice bend to it that's what gives it i think that timeless look where it's aging very well compared to a lot of the competition just super just smooth and seamless you know that they took a block of clay and just carved it beautifully into the shape now that body line that's so strong just fades away into the passenger door obviously also on the driver door on the other side color matched on the mirror caps slim and trim on those turn signals and then you're gonna get some bright shiny metal work just like on the front top and bottom of your side windows here we have a standard size sunroof you also have a color match shark fin antenna very small in size kind of blends in very nicely color matched on the door handles the one thing i wish they would have done that i'm gonna zonk is i wouldn't say they would have took the side sill and just extended it down just a little bit to give it a little bit more character from the side other than that super smooth love the way there's no hard body lines no triangles no weird geometric shapes you have a nice size quarter window built into the door here but the thing that i wish they would have done is actually made this glass so i am going to zonk this gloss black section but i do like the way they flare out the trim and you'll notice just like a front on the hood the roof has a nice slope to it right into the rear glass love the way the body line comes right into that rear fender and then to wrap it out back you're going to get led tail lights nice trunk lid spoiler that extends off this is part of that signature trim i like the way they notch out the center to wrap around the mazda logo the chrome trim and then as we drop down.

             You're going to get a turbo badge because guess what we got some turbocharged goodness underneath the hood and just great with the exhaust one exhaust on each side they don't have to look like a vacuum cleaner doesn't have to look like some kind of weird science experiment it's just a round nice slash cut exhaust one on each side you have this dark gray color trim just to kind of spruce it up and break it up a little bit and you got your mazda6 logo and the signature badge that's all you need but while we go ahead let's pop the hood and see that turbocharged fun that this mazda6 is bringing all right guys we got the hood popped we do have a prop rod so we are going to zonk that at least on the signature trim get rid of the prop rod but underneath that hood you are going to have a simple but tasteful engine cover it's got the mazda badge logo on it even has two cup holders but the good news is underneath that plastic cover is turbocharged fun so.

             You're looking at a 2.5 liter turbocharged engine if you use premium fuel 250 horsepower 310 pound-feet of torque the awesome news is no cvt it's got a six-speed automatic transmission 0-60 in about 6.3 seconds top speed 149 miles an hour the car weighs around 3563 pounds it is front-wheel drive and mpg's 23 in the city 31 on the highway i think it's wonderful that they bring that turbocharged power it will be interesting because they're saying that the redesign of this is gonna have a straight six turbocharged engine with rear wheel drive oh boy oh boy does that sound good but you know what sounds good let's go check out that interior because i think you might be impressed with what the sig signature trim brings to the table all right guys we're inside the 2021 mazda6 signature edition i know you're saying well joe this midsize sedan category is driving me nuts the competition is fierce uh i'm really liking the soul red and you know what having the top trim with turbocharged power sounds good to me how much does this one cost msrp is 36 995 let's see what we get for our money to the door panels i love the choice of materials now up top it's all soft the great news is you got some of that nice wood trim some of that great silver trim and the way it flows nicely into the door handle to open up the door that shows thought in the whole design process and i'm really digging this cream and dark material it really pops nicely now would.

     I want to own it probably not because it's just gonna get fingerprints and everything but boy oh boy does it look good when it's nice and clean you have a good sized door pocket maybe two grilled cheese sandwiches that your mom made for you wrap them up in some aluminum foil and you do have a nice area for a bottle of mr pibb and we have a bose sound system now when we get to the dash same thing look at how they take that silver trim wrap it around bring it across soft touch you got this microfiber suede material the wood trim is tasteful this is probably going to be the area where a lot of people get turned off the infotainment side of things so you do have an 8-inch infotainment system it has not been updated like the other mazda products and i think a lot of it has to do with this guy right here where they place the start stop button that would all have to be redesigned because the new system is actually over 10 inches in width so that is part of the equation but you know what still easy to use is it a touch screen yes so that'll make you happy apple carplay android auto navigation it takes a few seconds when you first prime it up but there it is it is dated but it does work well so and I think a lot of times people are going to just use google maps uh or apple maps or whatever you're going to use other than the actual navigation map now you do have that silver trim goes all the way across.

    I'm really digging this uh microfiber suede material here looking good you do have dual climate which is nice and i love the quality of the knobs easy to use ventilated seats heated seats and heated steering wheel you got a cubby for i would say easily 12 twinkies so that's a great place to load all those twinkies let me lower the air a little bit so you can still hear me okay twinkie area you got some gloss black nothing too crazy but what i like about i like the way it's sunk it's sunken down into that area rather than being flush soft touch material soft as a baby's butt this is going to control that six -speed automatic transmission you do have the sport mode remember that's going to adjust how the transmission behaves you just hit it up that's it if you want to get out of sport you hit it back down you have that direct drive control knob to control your navigation and all that kind of stuff nice flat black cover that when you slide it back it feels great two cup holders and then the great news is because they're sunken down you can put a tall a drink here you have the mazda key fob tasteful it's light the buttons on the side i'm going to drop that in and close that up very very soft on the armrest and then you open this guy up you got felt lining so you could put some family jewels in there you got two usbs an aux jack and a 12 volt easy to get to and like i said you're not going to scratch your family jewels which is good and then the interior and the signature very premium without that premium price i like the little bit of silver trim soft touch all the way down full electric assist for the passenger and of course the driver i have plenty of headroom in here and you have a standard size sunroof which makes life a little brighter for you but why don't you come over to the business end because i want to show you what you're going to be holding on to behind the wheel of the mazda6 all right guys business time behind the wheel you have your seat controls with two memory seat settings easy to get to of course you got the ease of use is just really really super clean lower lumbar plenty of headroom steering wheel the thickness it could be a little thicker but you know what it's got nice 10 and two notches flat black on the buttons tasteful horn button i wish they would have notched out this center area but you do have paddles behind the wheel to go up and down that six-speed automatic transmission and then the dash is clear concise and straightforward you have an analog tack analog fuel and cooling gauge but guess.

         What that digital display in the center that's your speedometer and you could actually go through different information in that center area which makes it really really easy to do and you have a digital um fuel range gauge as well which is wonderful but while we go ahead let's check out that back seat and see how your passengers are going to like this fully loaded mazda 6. all right guys backseat time in the mazda6 great news is you got plenty of leg room plenty of head room especially the way they kind of notch out the headliner a  little bit one of my favorite things are the backs of the seats so you're not getting any of that plastic it looks really great great size on the pocket so you could put a dictionary back here have your kids learn some new words other than the bad words that they're learning from you you got your rear ac with some nice little trim here and i know you're probably saying well joe where's my connectivity hold that thought sitting back in the seat the leather is so soft back here feels really good get ready for this one boom semi-soft on the armrest you have heated seats two cupholders and are you ready for it ta-da two usbs and some felt linings so guess what take your iphone 44 gold and platinum edition you can put in here it's not gonna get scratched boom badoom if you're ready i'm ready.

      Let's go check out that trunk because i want to take this for a spin all right guys let's see what kind of junk we could put in the trunk of our mazda6 you just hit the button you lift it up decent size on the width but the good news is you're looking at 15 cubic feet of space i like the way the floor is a little bit on the lower side and then you're going to pull these handles here which are at the top on each side that's going to allow you to fold down those seats so that you can go if you are ready to hoard all that toilet paper at the grocery store you could load it right into here but you know what this is about hauling the charmin we're going to also haul the mail and see how this mazda6 drives let's go guys we're in the 2021 mazda6 signature edition i'm telling you this interior level of quality in here is really second to none everywhere you touch is nice soft material and even though in the end if i was buying a mazda 6 a 2021 i would go carbon edition this signature edition with the two-tone definitely brings this interior alive now we won't talk about the sore spot too much i'm not gonna kick a dead horse or anything like that but obviously the infotainment system is gonna be the weak link.

     In this whole uh fence of a mazda6 but the good news is you do have apple carplay android auto and it's easy to get to easy to see it's a touch screen which i know a lot of people like the touch screen where you don't have to just use the direct drive control knob now steering wheel feels good those 10 and two notches the paddles they're on the smaller side and they're really inward but if you want to use them they're there for you to use i'm going to go ahead and take that silver switch put it in a sport mode as soon as i do that it actually brings the revs up it dropped me down a gear it actually brings the revs up while i'm driving down this road here head up display gives you your speed tells you what the speed limit is and i'm just gonna leave it in full automatic mode for the first few seconds here and then we will put it in the manual mode so i could showcase how the transmission behaves when using the paddles but the seats are so comfortable so supportive feel good look good i wish there was wireless charging so that definitely is going to be another zonk there but other than that the dash is laid out very nicely i don't need a digital display i don't need um a bunch of fancy other gizmos in here i like the clean aesthetics and i mean you have the digital gauge in the center the analog gauges are very easy to read at a quick glance visibility out the back is fantastic and then of course we have 250 horsepower because guess what i filled this one up with premium fuel but nice steering feel once we get to the twisty bits and kind of throw into some turns a little bit that's where you're really going to see the mazda6 earn its keep um and then i got the ventilated seats on which feel amazing all right guys i have it in manual mode we're gonna go through some twisty bits here on the brakes into this right hand bend on throttle here we go little bit of tire spin look at the way she holds a line very very nice good weight to the steering and that's where you're gonna feel good behind the wheel of this mazda6 is how she behaves when you're going from left to right transitions or any type of turning to be honest with you and the transmission downshift shifts very very smooth very seamless which is nice roll on throttle you got that turbocharged power visibility is great getting to everything on the interior is simple within reach and it makes sense i even like the location of the cup holders you know.

      When you look at the new mazda 3 cup holders they put in front of the shifter i don't like that location it doesn't allow you to have a taller bottle and it's right near everything that you're trying to reach in this vehicle it's a little bit further back and that really helps as well you do have a gear indicator at the base of your digital speedometer which is nice you know i think that the mazda6 would really benefit from a little wider wheel and tire definitely in that right hand bend i was breaking some traction and you'll see from a dead stop acceleration you also break traction but second gear on throttle here we go on the brakes see coming out that turn i lost some traction holds a line great though that multi-link rear suspension doing the business look how i'm able to just hold a nice steady constant radius there brakes feel good and we're not talking about massive rotors and calipers but enough to get the job done slow you down and you could enjoy this vehicle through some twisty bits and really be rewarded nicely and it's a four-door sedan which is great i want to showcase how you could add a light hit the camera button left of the steering wheel and actually bring up your forward-facing camera it does have trajectory and you got your 360 camera as well that's a nice little touch added for that signature edition it's not the best clarity but it's stuff like that like i said that just allows you to have that little extra something that you're not going to get on some of the other trims with the mazda 6. guys let me do an acceleration from a dead stop here you're going to hear the traction loss on throttle so right there a little bit of torque steer i do have the traction control shut off by the way that's why we're getting a little bit more but i wanted to showcase what was going on great handling though this is where the mazda6 earns its keep in the handling department really smooth like the sound coming from the front of the car as well it's got a nice note to it nothing too obnoxious nothing like super fake through the speakers and all that kind of stuff but really just wanted to showcase just how tossable this car is i'll go ahead and put the traction control back on and we will do another acceleration here from a dead stop to give you an idea about how this vehicle accelerates so from a dead stop here on throttle still getting it cut back on throttle there but i still had some traction loss and like i said with a little bit wider wheel and tire to give us a little bit more stick and grip i think that would go a long way but you know we are working with 250 horsepower and we are sending it all to the front wheels so that's something that uh sometimes sprouts up if you don't have the stickiest of tires guys i have it back in automatic mode just to showcase how the six-speed shifts through the gears very very smooth very seamless i do have it in sport mode though so remember that's going to hold the revs a little bit higher so that when you go back on throttle you're already in that higher rev range which is great.

        I'm gonna take it out of sport by just clicking that silver switch there right by the shifter and now the rpms drop we're running about 1500 1600 rpm driving down the road here cabin is quiet not a lot of wind noise not a lot of road noise and it it just feels like a more expensive vehicle and that's what i love about the mazda6 especially the signature uh edition but hopefully this gave you a nice overall feel of what this vehicle is all about of course you have your blind spot monitoring and everything we are going to get back to our special location and wrap this up so i will see you in a split second all right guys it's been another great day with this mazda6 i first of all got to thank everybody at mazda for allowing raties rides access to this press feed vehicle it really goes to show that you know what even though we're still waiting for a redesign there's still plenty to love and enjoy when it comes to the mazda6 especially when it comes to the driving experience nice feel neutral chassis and that turbocharged power that makes the whole experience just that much better and with the signature trim you're seeing that premium level of interior and this is why mazda 6 is my mid-size of choice but you know what if you want to keep seeing vehicles like this on radius rise leave a comment in the comment section if you're new and you're on the way out hit that follow button i promise you it's worthwhile coming back for more if you are a Follower thank you for being part of the radius rise family if you want to help us keep making great content just for you click the link in the description get yourself some ladies rise merch gotta give it up to the queen of the camera my wonderful wife lori working that camera like a champ show her some love in the comment section because she is bustingher butt out here thank you lori for allthat you do and just like always guysi'll see you on the next right it was a small three-wheel pickup truck since then boy oh boy have things change for this iconic japanese brand now what's interesting is that being a child growing up in the 1980s it was always about those rotary powered mazda rx-7s i remember when mazda won the coveted 24 hours of le mans first japanese car company to ever do that and also the first and only company to do it with a rotary engine now if you fast forward to the 21st century and i say mazda a lot of people they would reply miata that's what they're known for but you know what the rotary engine may not be around anymore but they're still bringing that zoom experience even though they don't put in their advertisements because they're trying to be this grown-up polished car company that zoom experience is what makes this mazda6 and the other mazdas in the lineup so special because of that great driving engagement so let's go ahead let's dive into this soul red it's that brand identifier for mazda soul red mazda6 and i want to find out is this the mid-size you should be buying over a sonata over a honda accord and over a toyota camry let's go ahead and find out right off the bat the style what's interesting is that this is not a new design it's been in existence for a few years now but it's still looking super fresh.

        Let me explain why at the front of the business mazda does a great job on headlight housings and tail light housings and i think that that's one of the reasons why it still looks fresh look at the way it kind of tapers in as you come close towards the grill on the inside it's all blacked out of course you're going to get led headlights led daytime running lamps and what's wonderful is that the headlights are actually adaptive so what that means is that they actively move with the steering wheel and what's fascinating a lot of people think that's new technology back in 1949 tucker automobiles actually made that setup it was a center headlight that actually moved with the steering wheel here it is 21st century on this mazda 6. as we work our way down i love the way they take that nice bright shiny chrome trim on our signature setup here no fake vent no flat black no gloss black everything beautiful sole red a little bit of chrome to kind of tie in both the top and the bottom portion and then as we come across the center grille i love how the hood has a nice waterfall sloping effect into the front fascia if you notice the chrome trim here mimics the actual setup of the mazda logo the way it kind of drops down and extends on both sides instead of going gloss black they go with a nice metallic gray really just gives it exquisite styling you got your forward facing camera and then even the bottom portion the way that they extend the front fascia no need for any other bodywork to stick on looks great nice low and wide now when we get up onto that hood it's the simplicity that really equates to beautiful styling on a mazda the way that the body lines start on the front fascia just go into the hood and just drift away right into the a-pillar like a feather just floating in the wind as we come around the bend what are we seeing special on our signature edition look at those wheels hand polished right from japan love the multi-spoke it's a 19-inch wheel looking clean with our setup they are a little narrow i wish they were a little bit more wide it's a 225 on the width but the great news is nice bright brushed aluminum look 19 inch wheel and it works well with the sole red color one of the things i also love on the side here is the fender look at how it's got a nice bend to it that's what gives it i think that timeless look where it's aging very well compared to a lot of the competition just super just smooth and seamless you know that they took a block of clay and just carved it beautifully into the shape now.

       That body line that's so strong just fades away into the passenger door obviously also on the driver door on the other side color matched on the mirror caps slim and trim on those turn signals and then you're gonna get some bright shiny metal work just like on the front top and bottom of your side windows here we have a standard size sunroof you also have a color match shark fin antenna very small in size kind of blends in very nicely color matched on the door handles the one thing i wish they would have done that i'm gonna zonk is i wouldn't say they would have took the side sill and just extended it down.

         Just a little bit to give it a little bit more character from the side other than that super smooth love the way there's no hard body lines no triangles no weird geometric shapes you have a nice size quarter window built into the door here but the thing that i wish they would have done is actually made this glass so i am going to zonk this gloss black section but i do like the way they flare out the trim and you'll notice just like a front on the hood the roof has a nice slope to it right into the rear glass love the way the body line comes right into that rear fender and then to wrap it out back you're going to get led tail lights nice trunk lid spoiler that extends off this is part of that signature trim i like the way they notch out the center to wrap around the mazda logo the chrome trim and then as we drop down you're going to get a turbo badge because guess what we got some turbocharged goodness underneath the hood and just great with the exhaust one exhaust on each side they don't have to look like a vacuum cleaner doesn't have to look like some kind of weird science experiment it's just a round nice slash cut exhaust one on each side you have this dark gray color trim just to kind of spruce it up and break it up a little bit and you got your mazda6 logo and the signature badge that's all you need but while we go ahead let's pop the hood and see that turbocharged fun that this mazda6 is bringing all right guys we got the hood popped.

      We do have a prop rod so we are going to zonk that at least on the signature trim get rid of the prop rod but underneath that hood you are going to have a simple but tasteful engine cover it's got the mazda badge logo on it even has two cup holders but the good news is underneath that plastic cover is turbocharged fun so you're looking at a 2.5 liter turbocharged engine if you use premium fuel 250 horsepower 310 pound-feet of torque the awesome news is no cvt it's got a six-speed automatic transmission 0-60 in about 6.3 seconds top speed 149 miles an hour the car weighs around 3563 pounds it is front-wheel drive and mpg's 23 in the city 31 on the highway i think it's wonderful that they bring that turbocharged power it will be interesting because they're saying that the redesign of this is gonna have a straight six turbocharged engine with rear wheel drive oh boy oh boy does that sound good but you know what sounds good let's go check out that interior because i think.

    You might be impressed with what the sig signature trim brings to the table all right guys we're inside the 2021 mazda6 signature edition i know you're Saying well joe this midsize sedan category is driving me nuts the competition is fierce uh i'm really liking the soul red and you know what having the top trim with turbocharged power sounds good to me how much does this one cost msrp is 36995 let's see what we get for our money to the door panels i love the choice of materials now up top it's all soft the great news is you got some of that nice wood trim some of that great silver trim and the way it flows nicely into the door handle to open up the door that shows thought in the whole design process and i'm i'm really digging this cream and dark material it really pops nicely now would i want to own it probably not because it's just gonna get fingerprints and everything but boy oh boy does it look good when it's nice and clean you have a good sized door pocket maybe two grilled cheese sandwiches that your mom made for you wrap them up in some aluminum foil and you do have a nice area for a bottle of mr pibb and we have a bose sound system now when we get to the dash same thing look at how they take that silver trim wrap it around bring it across soft touch you got this microfiber suede material the wood trim is tasteful this is probably going to be the area.

         Where a lot of people get turned off the infotainment side of things so you do have an 8-inch infotainment system it has not been updated like the other mazda products and i think a lot of it has to do with this guy right here where they place the start stop button that would all have to be redesigned because the new system is actually over 10 inches in width so that is part of the equation but you know what still easy to use is it a touch screen yes so that'll make you happy apple carplay android auto navigation it takes a few seconds when you first prime it up but there it is it is dated but it does work well so and i think a lot of times people are going to just use google maps uh or apple maps or whatever you're going to use other than the actual navigation map now you do have that silver trim goes all the way across i'm really digging this uh microfiber suede material here looking good you do have dual climate which is nice and i love the quality of the knobs easy to use ventilated seats heated seats and heated steering wheel you got a cubby for i would say easily 12 twinkies so that's a great place to load all those twinkies let me lower the air a little bit so you can still hear me okay twinkie area you got some gloss black nothing too crazy but what i like about i like the way it's sunk.

      It's sunken down into that area rather than being flush soft touch material soft as a baby's butt this is going to control that six-speed automatic transmission you do have the sport mode remember that's going to adjust how the transmission behaves you just hit it up that's it if you want to get out of sport you hit it back down you have that direct drive control knob to control your navigation and all that kind of stuff nice flat black cover that when you slide it back it feels great two cup holders and then the great news is because they're sunken down you can put a tall a drink here.

      You have the mazda key fob tasteful it's light the buttons on the side i'm going to drop that in and close that up very very soft on the armrest and then you open this guy up you got felt lining so you could put some family jewels in there you got two usbs an aux jack and a 12 volt easy to get to and like i said you're not going to scratch your family jewels which is good and then the interior and the signature very premium without that premium price i like the little bit of silver trim soft touch all the way down full electric assist for the passenger and of course the driver i have plenty of headroom in here and you have a standard size sunroof which makes life a little brighter for you but why don't you come over to the business end.

      Because i want to show you what you're going to be holding on to behind the wheel of the mazda6 all right guys business time behind the wheel you have your seat controls with two memory seat settings easy to get to of course you got the ease of use is just really really super clean lower lumbar plenty of headroom steering wheel the thickness it could be a little thicker but you know what it's got nice 10 and two notches flat black on the buttons tasteful horn button i wish they would have notched out this center area but you do have paddles behind the wheel to go up and down that six-speed automatic transmission and then the dash is clear concise and straightforward you have an analog tack analog fuel and cooling gauge but guess what that digital display in the center that's your speedometer and you could actually go through different information in that center area which makes it really really easy to do and you have a digital um fuel range gauge as well which is wonderful but while we go ahead let's check out that back seat and see how your passengers are going to like this fully loaded mazda 6. all right guys backseat time in the mazda6 great news is you got plenty of leg room plenty of head room especially the way.

    They kind of notch out the headliner a little bit one of my favorite things are the backs of the seats so you're not getting any of that plastic it looks really great great size on the pocket so you could put a dictionary back here have your kids learn some new words other than the bad words that they're learning from you you got your rear ac with some nice little trim here and i know you're probably saying well joe where's my connectivity hold that thought sitting back in the seat the leather is so soft back here feels really good get ready for this one boom semi-soft on the armrest you have heated seats two cupholders and are you ready for it ta-da two usbs and some felt linings so guess what take your iphone 44 gold and platinum edition you can put in here it's not gonna get scratched boom badoom if you're ready i'm ready let's go check out that trunk because i want to take this for a spin all right guys let's see what kind of junk we could put in the trunk of our mazda6 you just hit the button you lift it up decent size on the width but the good news is you're looking at 15 cubic feet of space i like the way the floor is a little bit on the lower side and then you're going to pull these handles here which are at the top on each side that's going to allow you to fold down those seats.

      So that you can go if you are ready to hoard all that toilet paper at the grocery store you could load it right into here but you know what this is about hauling the charmin we're going to also haul the mail and see how this mazda6 drives let's go guys we're in the 2021 mazda6 signature edition i'm telling you this interior level of quality in here is really second to none everywhere you touch is nice soft material and even though in the end if i was buying a mazda 6 a 2021 i would go carbon edition this signature edition with the two-tone definitely brings this interior alive now we won't talk about the sore spot too much i'm not gonna kick a dead horse or anything like that but obviously the infotainment system is gonna be the weak link in this whole uh fence of a mazda6 but the good news is you do have apple carplay android auto and it's easy to get to easy to see it's a touch screen which i know a lot of people like the touch screen where you don't have to just use the direct drive control knob now steering wheel feels good those 10 and two notches the paddles they're on the smaller side and they're really inward but if you want to use them they're there for you to use i'm going to go ahead and take that silver switch put it in a sport mode as soon as i do that.

      It actually brings the revs up it dropped me down a gear it actually brings the revs up while i'm driving down this road here head up display gives you your speed tells you what the speed limit is and i'm just gonna leave it in full automatic mode for the first few seconds here and then we will put it in the manual mode so i could showcase how the transmission behaves when using the paddles but the seats are so comfortable so supportive feel good look good i wish there was wireless charging so that definitely is going to be another zonk there but other than that the dash is laid out very nicely i don't need a digital display i don't need um a bunch of fancy other gizmos in here i like the clean aesthetics and i mean you have the digital gauge in the center the analog gauges are very easy to read at a quick glance visibility out the back is fantastic and then of course we have 250 horsepower because guess what i filled this one up with premium fuel but nice steering feel once we get to the twisty bits and kind of throw into some turns a little bit that's where you're really going to see the mazda6 earn its keep um and then i got the ventilated seats on which feel amazing all right guys i have it in manual mode we're gonna go through some twisty bits here.

     On the brakes into this right hand bend on throttle here we go little bit of tire spin look at the way she holds a line very very nice good weight to the steering and that's where you're gonna feel good behind the wheel of this mazda6 is how she behaves when you're going from left to right transitions or any type of turning to be honest with you and the transmission downshift shifts very very smooth very seamless which is nice roll on throttle you got that turbocharged power visibility is great getting to everything on the interior is simple within reach and it makes sense i even like the location of the cup holders you know when you look at the new mazda 3 cup holders they put in front of the shifter i don't like that location it doesn't allow you to have a taller bottle and it's right near everything that you're trying to reach in this vehicle it's a little bit further back and that really helps as well you do have a gear indicator at the base of your digital speedometer which is nice you know i think that the the mazda6 would really benefit from a little wider wheel and tire definitely in that right hand bend.

      I was breaking some traction and you'll see from a dead stop acceleration you also break traction but second gear on throttle here we go on the brakes see coming out that turn i lost some traction holds a line great though that multi-link rear suspension doing the business look how i'm able to just hold a nice steady constant radius there brakes feel good and we're not talking about massive rotors and calipers but enough to get the job done slow you down and you could enjoy this vehicle through some twisty bits and really be rewarded nicely and it's a four-door sedan which is great i want to showcase how you could add a light hit the camera button left of the steering wheel and actually bring up your forward-facing camera it does have trajectory and you got your 360 camera as well that's a nice little touch added for that signature edition it's not the best clarity but it's stuff like that like i said that just allows you to have that little extra something that you're not going to get on some of the other trims with the mazda 6. guys let me do an acceleration from a dead stop here you're going to hear the traction loss on throttle so right there a little bit of torque steer i do have the traction control shut off by the way that's why we're getting a little bit more but i wanted to showcase what was going on great handling though this is where the mazda6 earns its keep in the handling department really smooth like the sound coming from the front of the car as well it's got a nice note to it.

    Nothing too obnoxious nothing like super fake through the speakers and all that kind of stuff but really just wanted to showcase just how tossable this car is i'll go ahead and put the traction control back on and we will do another acceleration here from a dead stop to give you an idea about how this vehicle accelerates so from a dead stop here on throttle still getting it cut back on throttle there but i still had some traction loss and like i said with a little bit wider wheel and tire to give us a little bit more stick and grip i think that would go a long way but you know we are working with 250 horsepower and we are sending it all to the front wheels so that's something that uh sometimes sprouts up if you don't have the stickiest of tires guys i have it back in automatic mode just to showcase how the six-speed shifts through the gears very very smooth very seamless i do have it in sport mode though so remember that's going to hold the revs a little bit higher so that when you go back on throttle you're already in that higher rev range which is great i'm gonna take it out of sport by just clicking that silver switch there right by the shifter and now the rpms drop we're running about 1500 1600 rpm driving down the road here cabin is quiet not a lot of wind noise not a lot of road noise and it it just feels like a more expensive vehicle and that's what i love about the mazda6 especially the signature uh edition but hopefully this gave you a nice overall feel of what this vehicle is all about of course you have your blind spot monitoring and everything we are going to get back to our special location and wrap this up.

           So i will see you in a split second all right guys it's been another great day with this mazda6 i first of all got to thank everybody at mazda for allowing raties rides access to this press feed vehicle it really goes to show that you know what even though we're still waiting for a redesign there's still plenty to love and enjoy when it comes to the mazda6 especially when it comes to the driving experience nice feel neutral chassis and that turbocharged power that makes the whole experience just that much better and with the signature trim you're seeing that premium level of interior and this is why mazda 6 is my mid-size of choice but you know what if you want to keep seeing vehicles like this on radius rise leave a comment in the comment section if you're new and you're on the way out hit that follow button i promise you it's worthwhile coming back for more.
