2007 Mazda 6 Review
Curtain side airbags are standard for 2007 on all versions of Mazda's midsize cars. The 6 offers 4-dr sedans and hatchbacks in various trim levels grouped under "i" and "s" prefixes. It also offers "s" wagons and sporty MazdaSpeed sedans. MazdaSpeeds have all-wheel drive, other models front-drive. The i Sport models have a 156-hp 4-cyl engine. MazdaSpeeds have a 270-hp turbocharged 4-cyl. Other 6s use a 212-hp V6. MazdaSpeeds have a 6-speed manual transmission. Other versions have a 5-speed manual or optional 5- or 6-speed automatic, depending on model. ABS and traction control are standard on all. So are front side airbags and curtain side airbags; these had been optional for some i models. A navigation system is available for most models. MazdaSpeeds have a sport suspension and specific trim.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Midsize Cars represent the heart of the U.S. car market. Most are price-sensitive, conservatively designed, family oriented sedans and wagons.
Our Best Buys include Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Mercury Milan, and Saturn Aura.
New or significantly redesigned models include the Saturn Aura.

News
A redesigned Mazda 6 is expected in spring 2007, likely as an '08 model. Some components and even architecture will come from the Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan/Lincoln MKZ sedans--ironic, as those triplets are based on the original Mazda 6 design. Informants say the new 6 will be quite a bit longer to improve rear-seat space, but won't be quite as large as Honda Accord or Toyota Camry. A massaged 2.3-liter 4-cyl should remain base power, but the Ford-sourced 3.0-liter V6 option gives way to the American company's new 3.5-liter unit with around 250 hp. A new MazdaSpeed6 probably won't appear until fall '07 at the earliest. No word yet on whether the hatchback and wagon will continue, nor whether Mazda will offer all-wheel drive as Ford plans for its models. But such matters should clear up soon, so keep checking back here for the latest news.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
The base 4-cyl is acceptably peppy with manual transmission, sluggish with automatic. V6 noticeably stronger, but best go demands high rpm. Test manual s sedan did 7.5 sec 0-60 mph. MazdaSpeed makes fast getaways, did 6.4 sec in our test; its clutch has short pedal travel, but some testers complain of imprecise engagement.

MazdaSpeed makes fast getaways, did 6.4 sec in our test; its clutch has short pedal travel, but some testers complain of imprecise engagement.
Fuel Economy
No opportunity yet to measure with automatic transmission. With manual, test 4-cyl models averaged 22.3 mpg; V6 sedans 20.9-24.2 mpg, but just 18.2 with gas-eating acceleration runs. Test V6 wagon averaged 17.9 mpg in mostly city driving. MazdaSpeeds averaged 21.7-25.6 mpg in mostly highway driving, 16.9 with performance testing. MazdaSpeeds require premium-grade fuel; others use regular.

Ride Quality
Taut but generally absorbent, even MazdaSpeed with 18-inch tires and firmer suspension. At highway speeds, all show some sharp reaction to pavement seams, slight float over dips and humps.

Steering/Handling/Braking
All but MazdaSpeed use basically same suspension settings. Result is agile, confident cornering with modest body lean, plus fine straightline tracking. V6s show only mild torque steer. MazdaSpeed moves like a sports car, abetted by AWD. On all, wide turning circle hurts close-quarters maneuverability. Brakes are strong, progressive.

Quietness
Non-turbocharged engines relaxed at cruise, make nice pedal-to-metal growls, but neither is super-quiet. MazdaSpeed whines under throttle. Modest rough-surface tire noise with 17- and 18-inch tires, though sedans muffle road noise a bit better than hatchbacks, wagons. No undue wind roar. Some test cars had minor squeaks and rattles.

Controls
Unobstructed gauges, but not all testers like red dashboard lighting in Grand Tourings and MazdaSpeeds. Some also dislike dashtop display for climate and audio settings, remote from controls, but do like the simple rotary knobs for most of those functions. Navigation system easy to use--and separate from audio, climate systems. Interior mixes nicely padded upper surfaces with hard, flimsy-feel plastic panels below.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
MazdaSpeed's bolstered sport seats snug occupants in fast turns; other seats hug less well, could use longer cushions. Six-footers have ample leg space, adequate head room. Standard tilt/telescope steering wheel a plus, but may not lift high enough for some drivers. Visibility great in wagons, hampered to rear by spoiler on hatchbacks.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Seat cushions a bit soft, have subpar support. Adequate head room, good toe space. More leg room than in some like-sized cars, but it slims noticeably with front seats moved very far back. Entry/exit easy enough, despite narrow thresholds and doors that could open wider.

Cargo Room
All models have roomy, nicely trimmed cargo holds and compact strut-type hinges for trunklid/hatch. Sedan trunk won't swallow bulky objects, but hatchback and wagon will. Folding rear seats have convenient spring-loaded releases behind backrests, but don't quite lie flat. Note that MazdaSpeed rear seat does not fold. Decent cabin storage, plus rear under-floor storage in hatchback and wagon.

Value within Class
Mazda 6 is a bit less refined than Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, or Volkswagen Passat. It also trails those rivals for interior materials and 4-cyl acceleration with automatic transmission. It is one of the sportiest midsize cars and competitively priced, with the practical wagon and hatchback models an added attraction for some buyers.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

| Front Impact, Driver | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Front Impact, Passenger | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Rollover Resistance | 5 | 5 | 4 |
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
