Take a look at the Mazda 6 a top choice car for 2009

The Mazda 6 has been featured as one of the best new cars of 2009 and here are some of the reasons why.

First of all, it’s roomy and fuel efficient with a very reasonable price tag.

Secondly, with six airbags and electronic stability control standard on all cars, it makes safety a priority.

Third, it’s an amazing drive. The four-cylinder engine gives loads of power (the optional V6 gives plenty more).The Mazda 6 is amazing on the curves and yet it has a smooth, quiet ride that makes it a joy to drive.

The inside of the new Mazda 6 does not look unlike the old Mazda 6, which is really quite a good thing. The black dashboard is a bit dull, but it doesn’t reflect in the windscreen like some light coloured dashboards do. Seats can be covered in a cloth and leather combination or simply cloth or leather. The back seating is quite roomy although it doesn’t offer the stretch out space of the Accord. A large improvement is the boot. The 2009 Mazda 6’s boot is a big 16.6 cubic feet, it also has non-intrusive hinges that won’t flatten your whats inside when you close the lid.

Mazda has super sized both of the 6’s engines for 2009. The motor is now a 170 horsepower 2.5 litre 4 cylinder. The standard 6 speed manual is perfect for the owner who prefers driving a manual car. It is light on the clutch and has a precise gear stick. But the optional 5 speed automatic is just as good.

What came out on top about the Mazda 6 was its brilliant handling. If you like curvy roads, you are going to love the Mazda 6. It’s a delight to drive and yet the ride is really comfortable.

At the end of the day, the Mazda 6 is brilliant to drive and is reasonably priced, so if you get the opportunity, a test drive is definitely recommended!
