Drivers have plenty to choose from when shopping for a new Mazda 6 for 2007. Four configurations are available, including the original Mazda 6 four-door Sports Sedan, as well as a 5-Door Hatchback, a Sport Wagon, and the high-performance MazdaSpeed6.

The Sports Sedan and 5-Door body styles are available in either i or s trim packages, which refers to engine size. Models with the i designation receive a 156-horsepower, 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing, while models with the s designation get a boost to the 212-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6, also with VVT.

In all, seven versions of the Sport Sedan are available, including the new Sport VE (Value Edition), as well as Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring trim packages (with either the i or s designations). The 5-Door Mazda 6 is available in Sport VE, Touring, and Grand Touring trim packages.

Standard features for the Sport Sedan and 5-Door are fairly extensive, and include air conditioning, power door locks, power windows, traction control, a remote key entry system, anti-lock brakes, and steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls.

The Mazda 6 Sport Wagon is equipped only with the 212-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6, and comes in three trim packages -- the Sport VE, Touring, and Grand Touring.

Finally, the MazdaSpeed6 pumps up the power with a turbocharged 2.3-liter double-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine, which produces 270 horsepower. It's available in Sport and Grand Touring trim packages.

Overall, the Mazda 6 continues to be popular with both drivers and critics, who like the vehicles' sporty styling, peppy engines, extensive interior appointments, solid handling, and overall good value.
