2004 Mazda Mazda6
The Mazda 6 is sportier than the other cars in the mid-size class, both in its appearance and in its handling and driving dynamics. It's more agile and holds the road better than the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, or Nissan Altima. The Mazda 6 is lighter on its feet and stops quicker. In short, it's a better driver's car. It's also the best sedan for the money that Mazda has ever built, and is available with four-cylinder and V6 engines. The zoom-zoom folks have really put a fine point on it this time. The Mazda 6, or MAZDA6, as the company calls it, debuted last year to widespread acclaim and multiple awards. Money Magazine named it 'Best Mid-Sized Sedan,' and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety called it a 'Best Pick.' The Mazda 6 also ranked among Car and Driver's '10 Best' cars and Automobile Magazine's 'All-Stars.' And it was the highest-rated new vehicle nameplate in the J.D. Power and Associates APEAL study.
Mazda hasn't been content to rest on its laurels. For 2004, Mazda is introducing 5-Door and Sport Wagon versions of the Mazda 6. The 5-Door model is the only mid-size hatchback sold in America, says Mazda, and is just the thing for active singles and couples.
