In creating the MAZDASPEED6 for 2007, Mazda has taken its popular and sporty Mazda6 sedan and kicked it up a notch. Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.3-liter double-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine with direct gas injection, which delivers fuel directly into each chamber. As a result, the engine produces an impressive 270 horsepower, as well as extra torque for plenty of pedal off the mark.
The exterior features an enhanced front end with an air duct for the intercooler integrated into the front grille and a sculpted hood that subtly rises to provide room for the engine's top-mounted intercooler. A rear spoiler and more aerodynamic bumpers give the rear end a unique appearance also.
Inside are high-bolstered front bucket seats, automatic climate control, front side window demisters, power door locks, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, alloy pedals, and a Bose seven-speaker audio system.
The MAZDASPEED6 is available in Sport and Grand Touring trim packages. To the standard list of features, the Grand Touring package adds leather seats (heated in the front), leather door trim, dual power heated mirrors, an advanced keyless entry system, electroluminiscent gauges, and a power moonroof.
As might be expected, the MAZDASPEED6 received high marks from both drivers and critics, some of whom called the car nothing less than impressive. Its power, handling, styling, and interior appointments were all cited as positive points.
