Price Range: £15,685 to £22,460
Sharp looks, fine handling, refined and well built.
Expensive, 2.5's lack of go.
Talented and refined 6 could vie for class best, depending on the diesel.
Mazda aims to sell up to 14,000 6s a year from 2008 - a considerable number until you compare it with the 50,000 Mondeos Ford will have shifted in the same 12 months.
The pay-off for the Japanese brand will be stronger residuals, with less risk of oversupply on the used market. Early indications are that the 6 will be worth at least 5% more than the Mondeo three years and 60,000 miles on.
