For 2006, the Mazda 6 sedans, five-door hatchbacks, and wagons were available in a wide variety of trim packages. New for the year was a high-end Grand Sport package, which added such features as heated seats, xenon high-intensity headlights, heated exterior mirrors, a power glass sunroof, and a Bose audio system to an already extensive list of features. Other trim packages included the Sport and Grand Touring packages, in addition to the base models.
The Mazda 6 vehicles came with either i or s designations, which referred to the size of the engine. Sedans and hatchbacks with the i designation were equipped with a 160-horsepower, 2.3-liter four cylinder engine, while sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons with the s designation came with a 215-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6.
A five-speed manual transmission was standard for base and Sport packages, while either a five-speed automatic or a six-speed automatic was standard on the higher-end Grand Touring and Grand Sport packages.
Drivers were attracted to the Mazda 6 vehicles for their smooth handling, comfortable interiors, sporty styling, and good value. Some drivers noted minor problems with the cars, but since most of the cars are still under warranty, these problems have proven to be easily resolved.
4.5 Overall rating
(59 reviews)It is a great car and fun to drive. It has lots of space with the hatchback with NONE of the looks of a station wagon. Cost of ownership is cheap with the 4 cylinder engine, and it still has enough horses to really move. The transmission also lets you shift manually on this automatic car.
I can't afford the sexy Alfa Romeo coupe that was reviewed on Top Gear recently but my Mazda 6 is the best car I've owned. It handles well, takes off like a shot when you need to but is a smooth ride pottering around town. It has enough leg room to accommodate my tall teenagers, a boot that fits a ton of baggage and I love the colour!
Nicely engineered. Quick when you want it to be, smooth ride, so-so fuel economy. The inside of the cabin area is large enough for me to sit comfortably in on the long hauls. It's my wife's car, She's the nice lady in the picture.
