Mazda 6 Grand Touring Reserve Sedan Exterior Shown

The 2020 Mazda 6 pulls off near-luxury quality thanks to its impressive ride comfort and smart attention to detail. But its greatest trick is that it's simply a joy to drive. Sedans aren't typically dripping with charisma. This one has plenty to spare.

2020 Mazda 6 Grand Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I previously owned a white 2016 Mazda 6 Touring. Due to an driver's fail to yield, my car was totalled back in late November. I checked out a blue 2020 Mazda 6. Everything I liked about the 2016 was there, with more, including improvements. I bought the Grand Touring model. The turbo is a great improvement over the base engine. It's not a rocket by any means, but still lots of low end …

2020 Mazda 6 Sport 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

I got the Mazda 6 sport 2020 and I couldn't be happier. It combines comfort, fun and luxury in an unprecedented way. I'm also happy to see the leaps Mazda made in terms of reliability. I'm actually glad they're using a traditional 6 speed transmission. It means fewer bugs and a better projected reliability. It's known and been around for a while - why mess with it? Love this car.

Much more than I thought.

Having owned BMWs and Audi's since 1993 I was reluctant to the reviews I read about the Mazda 6. So I searched it vigorously looking for negative reviews, but I couldn't find much negative. So I decided to pursue leasing one. I found what I liked, Signature series blue with parchment interior. I searched dealerships and found only one within 500 miles. So, I contacted my local …

2020 Mazda 6 Grand Touring Reserve 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Very simply, if my Mazda 6 Reserve went away I'd buy another in an instant without shopping any other car. Traded in a 2014 Mazda 6 for the newer 6 because I wanted the turbo, and paid extra for the stunning Soul Red paint. My 3rd Mazda is a testament to Mazda's superb engineering and design. It's beautiful but that does not matter unless the car has 5 star crash rating and is a kick to …
