Mazda 6

One of the top ranked mid-sized cars out there is the Mazda 6. This is a very attractive looking sedan that is on the sporty side. Yet it is also practical when it comes to handling, fuel economy, and safety features. It offers 26 mpg in town and 38 mpg on the highway which is very good for a mid-sized vehicle.

The vehicle was redesigned in 2013 in terms of the engine power it delivers. It used to offer a V6 but that is no longer offered. The newer models have a 4 cylinder engine and there is also a design in place for future years to have a 4 cylinder diesel engine offered. The new engine has been getting very good reviews for overall power as well as in the area of acceleration.

The upgrades in recent years have included revamping the interior of the Mazda 6. The seating is very comfortable and there is generous leg room in the back. There is also additional cargo space compared to previous models. Dual climate control, Bose sound system, and satellite radio are standard.

The safety features that are included make it one of the safest vehicles offered in the mid-sized car category. The vehicle has lane departure monitoring, the Mazda Smart City Brake System, rear cross detection, and blind spot monitoring. The Mazda 6 is also offered as a wagon.
