Edmunds rates Mazda6 best car under 25k

JimMS6 · 06-13-2007, 07:26 PM

The 2007 Mazda 6 and Mazdaspeed 6 hold a special place among those who have driven them. While slotted in a budget-based glorified economy car segment, the 6 offers comfort, capability and class for a surprisingly affordable price. Fun to drive, with smooth power delivery from the automatic, the 6 features a slick-shifting manual transmission if you so choose. Design is simple and tasteful inside and out. Increasing the value proposition is the addition of more safety features, with antilock brakes, traction control and side curtain airbags now standard on every 6. Perhaps the only drawback to the 6 is the lack of oomph under the hood when compared with the competition. But if that's a problem, step up to the turbocharged Mazdaspeed 6.

It's a lot more car for the money then people think. They really should push it more.

I agree, the car seems to go unnoticed, but I love it, haven't had anyone in my car yet that didn't comment on it, but most people ask me what it is

It does, it's the ultimate sleeper car.. especially the MazdaSpeed version. No one notices it, but for those that own it, Ive never met an unhappy owner.

I just hope they don't bail on it like Mazda seems to do with models, leaving us with weak service and lower value.

They won't, at least for a while, the new model is almost ready to be unveiled, and it looks like it should be better then ours. Mazda ain't that stupid
