Overview

The 2017 Mazda 6 Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $21,945. For that price, it mainly competes with the Nissan Altima, the Toyota Camry, and the Ford Fusion. Between 3 trims, the Mazda 6 Sedan offers a single powertrain. It is a 2.5L inline-4 enginemaking 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Mazda 6 sedan reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.1 seconds with the manual transmission, which gets pumped up to 7.6 seconds with the automatic transmission. Depending on the powertrain, the Mazda 6 sedan can manage a combined fuel economy of between 28 and 30 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Mazda 6 Sedan comes in really pull you towards itself. 

Buying Advice
