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.
With Mazda's reputation for reliability, we expect the 6 to be among the leaders in its class for reliability.
Although virtual prototyping was an important part of the 6's development, Mazda still built just as many real prototypes as ever (127 for the record), completing just as many harsh development miles to ensure faults and mechanical breakages were highlighted and cured.
Panel fit and cabin build are flawless.
