The Mazda6 is a mid-size sedan that blends sleek looks and agile responses with a spacious cabin and a compliant ride. In contrast to the previous generation, the Mazda6 may not be the leader for sheer performance anymore, but it is definitely one of the most balanced entries in its class. The front-wheel-drive Mazda6 offers a choice of a base 2.5-liter 4-cylinder mated to either manual or automatic transmissions and a strong 3.7-liter V6 engine with a 6-speed automatic.
