"Used Mazda 6 Overview And How To Buy At The Lowest Price!"
Launched in 2003, the Mazda 6 jumped right into the extremely competitive midsize car segment ... one dominated by hall of fame models such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. But no problem, the Mazda 6 has fared extremely well due to its impressive performance, handling and good looks ... both interior and exterior.
And we're not the only ones who feel this way. In fact, the Mazda 6 has won rave reviews for its stylish design, handsomely equipped interior, precise steering, responsive suspension and athletic 4-cyl. and V6 engines. We've had a number of them in stock and we agree ... this is an impressive vehicle that many car buyers would do well to consider.
Also setting this versatile midsize apart is the fact that it comes in three very distinct body styles. Yes, for those who cherish space, the 6 is also available as a 4-door hatchback or a wagon.
Each model has two trim levels: the i and the s. From 2003 through 2008, the i was powered by a zesty 4-cylinder, 160-horsepower engine with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic. The s was equipped with a 215-horsepower V6 with either the manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Feature packages to meet most needs include the Sport, Grand Touring, Grand Sport and, new for 2009, the SV.
And for those who seek driving a high-performance vehicle, there's the MAZDASPEED 6 ... with a gutzy 278-horsepower, turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine that's coupled to all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission.
Even base 6 models are well-equipped, with standard features that include full power accessories, cruise control and a better grade cloth upholstery. Moving up in models adds additional features such as leather upholstery, foglights, a power sunroof, a rear spoiler and an upgraded stereo system with a CD changer.
The Mazda 6 went into its second generation for the 2009 model year. Now powering this newest Mazda 6 is a choice of two engines: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that pumps out 170 horsepower and 167 pound-feet of torque, or a 3.7-liter V6 that's good for a hefty 272 horsepower and 269 lb-ft. The four-cylinder can be found with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic. The V6 is 6-speed automatic only.
And base models are again reasonably equipped, while features such as alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, xenon headlights and an audible blind-spot monitoring system. Some used Mazda 6 models can also be found with optional features such as an in-dash 6-disc CD changer, satellite radio, a sunroof and navigation.
Segment leaders such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry don't possess the back twisty road performance dynamics of the Mazda 6, while the 6 also matches up well in terms of passenger room, cargo capacity and V6 power.
Overall, with its attractive design, tight suspension, responsive steering, stylish cabin and generous cargo space, we believe any of the Mazda 6 models offer an excellent value as a used car purchase.
