5 reasons to buy the 2017 Mazda Mazda6
1. Peppy engine
Jet around town running errands, take the dog to the park or drop the kids off at school in no time with the Mazda6's 2.5L four-cylinder engine. The car's 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque will get you where you're going in a flash. Opt for the top-of-the-line Grand Touring trim with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters to control the power.
2. Fuel-sipping
You've got more important things to worry about than remembering to get gas. Thankfully, all Mazda6 trims equipped with an automatic transmission get an EPA-estimated 29 mpg combined.
3. The more, the merrier
With your Mazda6, everyone will ride comfortably. The backseat boasts a generous 38.7 inches of legroom and 37.1 inches of headroom that will put even the tallest passengers at ease. Pack the camping gear into the trunk's 14.8 cu-ft of space and head to the mountains. Everyone has space in the Mazda6.
4. Tune in
Pump up the jams as you drive out of town or tune into the latest podcast at the end of a long day with the Mazda6's standard Bluetooth® connectivity, USB port, and six-speaker sound system. A seven-inch touchscreen controls the infotainment system, and you can shop for the Grand Touring trim to add a navigation system and 11-speaker Bose audio system.
5. A feature-filled cabin
Step into the Mazda6, and you'll immediately notice all of its standard features. The base Sport trim comes with keyless entry and ignition, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and voice command controls.
