2008 Mazda MAZDA6 Road Test Ratings

Just about as much fun as can be had from a mid-size sedan, the Mazda 6 is perfect for drivers who want a livable blend of sport and comfort.

Class-leading steering and handling, plus brakes work well. The optional V6 engine isn't quite as good as the chassis it's bolted into.

Rides a bit firmer than some will prefer, especially if they are not looking for performance.

A well laid out interior and intuitively designed controls are welcoming.

Sporty styling, inside and out matches the zoom zoom theme.
