Mazda 6 SKYACTIV-G 2.5 Review: Sexy 6
Now in its 3rd generation, we take a drive in the latest Mazda 6 for an impression
OneShift Editorial Team
19 May 2013
What we like:
Elegant muscular looks that breaks the usual sedan mould. Backed by excellent handling and fuel economy.
What we dislike:
Raspy engine with inaccessible torque.
If based solely on its good looks and dynamic handling alone, the Mazda 6 trounces the competition from other Japanese makes. But what ultimately puts a dent in its armour is an engine that much prefers to be coaxed than prodded.
But with a little hope and prayer, Mazda might just make the more promising 2.2-litre turbo diesel currently available in North American markets, available to us as well.
