Top Car for 2009, the Mazda 6

The Mazda 6 has been featured as one of the best new cars of 2009 and here are some of the reasons why.

First of all, it’s spacious and fuel efficient with a very reasonable price tag.

Secondly, with six airbags and electronic stability control standard on all cars, it makes safety a priority.

Thirdly, it’s amazing to drive. The 4-cylinder engine gives loads of power (whilst the optional V6 delivers plenty more).The Mazda 6 is amazingly good on the curves and yet it has a smooth, quiet ride that makes it a pleasure to drive.

The interior of the new Mazda 6 does not look unlike the old Mazda 6, which is really a good thing. The black dashboard is a bit dreary, but it doesn’t reflect in the windscreen like some light colour dashboards do. Seats can be covered in a cloth and leather combination or just simply cloth or leather. The back seat is quite roomy although it doesn’t offer the extra space of the Accord. A great improvement is the boot. The 2009 Mazda 6′s boot is a big 16.6 cubic feet, it also has non-intrusive hinges that won’t squash your whats inside when you close the lid.

Mazda has super sized both of the 6′s engines for 2009. The base motor is now a 170 horsepower 2.5 litre 4 cylinder. The standard 6 speed manual is perfect for the owner who prefers to drive manual cars. It has a light clutch and precise gear stick. But the optional 5 speed automatic car is just as good.

What came out tops about the Mazda 6 was its amazing handling. If you like curvy roads, you’re going to love the Mazda 6. It’s a real delight to drive and yet its ride is really comfortable.

Overall the Mazda 6 is brilliant to drive and reasonably priced, so if you get the opportunity, a test drive is definitely recommended!
