I actually prefer the ride of the Mazda6 over the Honda Accord; it feels a bit more capable in the corners. Over the last few years, these two brands have been neck and neck on so many things. But I really think that this Mazda6 won me over last year – and still has me this year!

The posted fuel economy for the I4 manual is 10.4L/100km in the city and 6.9 on the highway. My V6 with the automatic transmission gets 12.1 in the city and 8.0 on the highway. This would put this sporty sedan as average in this class. I would not change anything about this car, except maybe for better fuel mileage.

This class of sedans is a competitive market, but the updates that the Mazda6 saw last year has really put it in the lead. You get everything you need in one hot package: a classy, yet aggressive looking car with great handling and enough power to make anyone smile.
