Mazda 6 / Atenza II (GH1) Sedan (2007-2010)
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%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
carmagazine[2]
Reviewer score 70%Mazda's versatile 2.2-litre diesel engine is a star across all three of its power options. A 0-62mph of 10.6 seconds won't have your eyeballs out on stalks, Roadrunner-style, but with peak torque of 229lb ft @ 1800-2600rpm, there's plenty of shove.

Pros
- Powerful diesel engine
- Lots of fun to drive
Cons
- Lacklustre looks
carmagazine[3]
Reviewer score 68%The new 2.2-litre engine has a chain-driven balancer shaft, aluminium-alloy block, an aluminium oil cooler and a plastic cam cover. The range-topping 295lb ft engine is refined, smooth and very fast. It's quieter than its more powerful sibling, suffers less from the ill-affects of torque steer, and we already know it's cleaner and greener.

Pros
- Cheaper than the old 2.0-litre
- Good range-topping engine
Cons
- Not as good as its predecessor
- Noisy on full throttle
