Mid-Size Sedan

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Mazda 6 / Atenza II (GH1) is a large sports sedan in production from 2007 to 2010, whereupon it received a facelift. It is available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.8 to 3.7 liters.

Buyers will likely be more intrigued by the V6 option, which is in fact a Duratec unit sourced from Ford, with the associated pluses and minuses.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Mazda 6 II Sedan (GH) comes with double-wishbone front suspensions and multi-link rears. This provides the great cornering performance and tunability.

Unfortunately, a Mazdaspeed6 was not offered.

Reviewer score 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The new Mazda 6 Estate is slop-free and sharp as a button. Power of 138bhp at 3500rpm backed a by a well rounded 243lb ft at 2000rpm adds up to a tidy score on the gruntometer. Electric power steering delivers enough feedback to keep you informed through the bends. The 6 is claimed to have one of the widest boot openings at 1066mm.

Pros

Stylish looks
Good handling

Cons

Not the most fun to drive
Not the smoothest to drive
