We don't NEED twin piping other than for (arguable) aesthetic purposes.
Not quite a fan of Mazda, but if the 2.5L is a V6 engine, then the dual exhaust does serve a purpose. It is always better to have individual exhaust manifold on each separate bank of cylinders, and from there on two separate piping all the way to the back with two real separate exhaust tailpipes. smile.gif

Hi,

The 2.5L Mazda is NOT a V6 ... hence the comment on dual exhaust piping being aesthetic in nature smile.gif

In fact I was pleasantly surprised to see the dual exhaust..the car definitely looks more sportier with this..I m more than happy..and yes, they do serve a purpose by beautifying the already gorgeous car!!!

I agree that the M6 (NOT the one with 507 BHP ... lol) handles better ... only just.

Managed to do some serious (for Msian roads standard, not test track) cornering during the test drive,

The M6 turns in faster into corners (only just). Considering the much bigger Accord, it too performs almost on par with the M6.
Both gets out of corners with plenty of power in reserve.

However, on most HWY trips (say KL to Ipoh), I suspect both drivers and passengers of the M6 will feel more exhausted than those sitting in the Accord.

The M6 is a SLIGHTLY better stop-go and zig-zag around traffic and around corners kind of car ... but the Accord is definitely the better long distance cruiser.
Cheers smile.gif

Mazda6 is out today, I saw the 2.5L car in Penang this morning and it look gorgeous!

Can anybody share their test drive experience of the Mazda6 and Accord, whether Mazda6 really offers better driving experience than Accord? (reviews in UK think Mazda6 is comparable to BMW 3 series!)  rclxms.gif

When to the showroom to checkout the mazda 6. Really2 nice looking car. Looks sporty at the same time elegant tongue.gif Interior is quite big. The driver have lots of space. But for the interior the 2.5 definitely looks better

Hi Klangboy,

1. Engine performance:
Outright Power to weight ratio, the Accord wins (180ps/1525kg = 0.1180 Vs. 170ps/1469kg = 0.1157).
BUT, the M6 Torque is 226 and kicks in at 4000 rpm whereby the Accord is 222 at 4300 rpm (plus weight penalty)

*
According to the brochure from UK, the actual kerb weight of M6 is 1395kg (include driver weight 75kg). If minus the driver's weight, the car weight is only 1320kg.

170ps/1320kg = 0.1287

So, M6 wins in outright power.

I've test drive M6 and Accord. If I want to choice, I will go for M6.

I was actually looking very closely at the Accord 2.4L. But then when I saw the Mazda 2.5L, I fell in love with it. Even my wife who has a very fixed and conservative mindset and who was so adament about the Honda fell in love with Mazda once she saw and test drove it. smile.gif
