2007 Mazda MAZDA6

Pros: Lots of features, steering wheel controls and auto dim mirror

Cons: Terrible TERRIBLE TERRIBLE stock speakers.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this car for the price you wont find a more fun sedan.

Review: I had to get out of a V8 Mustang in a snow state (yea, I know, I'm not the first to impulse by a sports car and I wont be the last). The price range I was in left me looking at the Mazda3, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Hyundaie Elantra, Ford Fusion etc. ...

Pros: Spacious, fuel efficient, sound driving, comfortable, family car.

Cons: Slow Acceleration on passes.

The Bottom Line: A definate MUST for a family car, not too expensive and a lovely car to have.

Review: I bought a 2007 Mazda 6 Active, as replacement of my current family car. What a dream! This 4-door sedan is Definitely more than I expected it to be. With it's 6-speed gearbox, auto stabilizer, ABS braking, 8 airbags right around, the 215 / 45 R 17" ...

Pros: comfortable, quick, great on gas, roomy

Cons: Couldn't keep it!

The Bottom Line: You really could just about live in this one!

Review: Having used two of these helps to write a review. First was a Dark Cherry with beige interior with the second Black on Black. This was a rental for an extended period. I needed a car to carry three tall persons for a 2 1/2 hours trip one-way and ...

Pros: Tight, sporty handling, aggressive good looks without the boy-racer image, competent interior, competitive pricing.

Cons: Prominent engine noise into-cabin, under-powered in full-load situations, lackluster A/C, MPG drops when driven-hard.

The Bottom Line: Recommended if your priorities are a sporty ride and adolescent exterior looks. MPG and quality may not be top-shelf.

Review: I recently had the chance to spend almost a week with the 2007 Mazda 6i, after just over 1,000 miles I reluctantly returned the car and realized how much I enjoyed driving again. While Mazda’s Zoom Zoom ad campaign has annoyed the crap out of ...

Pros: Steering and handling feel top the family-car class, hatch and wagon models available.

Cons: Weak base engine, uninspiring manual transmission, dated interior materials, expensive in top trims.

The Bottom Line: Fully loaded, the 6's pricing pits it against much "zoomier" sports sedans. But in base V6 spec, this Mazda satisfies as a fun-to-drive family car.

Review: Background Through the memorable “Zoom-zoom” ad campaign and others like it, Mazda has positioned its 6 as the family sedan for people who like to drive, an enthusiast’s alternative to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. But how ...

Pros: Price, handling, power (yes, even in a four cylinder), styling

Cons: Hard seats, massive key, picky steering

The Bottom Line: This is an excellent new or used car. It provides good value and reliability in a very nice looking car.

Review: I recently went through a new car buying exercise (see my other review of the 2007 Mercury Milan) deciding I wanted a Mazda 6i before I discovered the Mercury. I think the Mazda line has the most compelling styling of any manufacturer. Cadillac would ...

Pros: Sporty handling, excellent value, standard safety features

Cons: No rear seat headrests (still), unimpressive shifter, loss of warranty advantage, dated design

The Bottom Line: While the 2007 Mazda6 represents the company's sporty image, it lacks the refinement of its competitors and is at the end of its design cycle.

Review: Four years ago, my father and I reviewed a 2003 Mazda6 sedan for Epinions. While we were impressed with the sportiness of this unique entry into the mid-size market dominated by Accords and Camrys, there was the feeling that something was missing ...
