Mazda 6 vs Honda Accord
The Mazda6 or Mazda 6 (known as the Mazda Atenza in China and Japan) is a large family car produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Mazda since 2002, now in its third generation. It replaced the long-serving Mazda 626 (sold in Japan as the Capella) which replaced the Mazda 616 (piston engined version of the RX-2) in 1977. The Mazda6 has sold over one million units worldwide since its introduction, hitting this sales milestone faster than all previous Mazdas.
The Mazda6 was the first example of the company's new Stylish, Insightful, and Spirited design philosophy. The new Mazda 6 is simply stunning ! It offers so much innovation, technical wise and styling wise. It's also a bit faster than the Accord. Nothing beats it's design partly deriving from the famous Furai ! It was even a top safety pick !
North American SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter gasoline engine models of was set to go on sale in January 2013 as 2014 model year vehicle, followed by SKYACTIV-D engine models in second half of 2013. However the introduction of the diesel variant of Mazda6 to the U.S. market was delayed from the second half of 2013 to spring 2014 due to emission issue. In early 2014, it is reported that the introduction of the diesel engine has been delayed again, effectively cancelling the program for at least this generation of the model. The engine is already available on both the Asian and European models of the third generation Mazda6. Notably, the North American models are no longer offered with a V6 engine putting the model at a disadvantage.

In conclusion :
We differ from the crowd the Accord is significantly faster than the Mazda, we think that the 6 is the better allrounder in the sedan class but it lacks a V6. The car is quick and as practical as the Honda, or even more. But the 8.6s to 62 is not exactly sport. It's hard to stand against the trend but our choice is also backed up by all the history that Honda wrote with the Accord name, the fans and all the awards to back up the solid first place of
