Introduced for the 2003 model year, the Mazda6 was built to replace the long-running Mazda 626. This sports sedan is available with a 2.3-liter inline 4-cylinder or a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder, producing 156 and 212 horsepower, respectively. The manufacturer offers a 5-door hatchback and a sport wagon in this model, as well, for the consumer seeking a little extra space. There are three transmission options also available: a 5-speed manual, a 5-speed sport automatic, or a 6-speed sport automatic with its own manual mode designed for the driving enthusiast. The Mazda6 is an environmentally friendly vehicle, having earned the title of a 'Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle,' and has an average fuel economy of 19 mpg in the city or 32 mpg on the highway. Of course, this depends on the size of the engine and the type of transmission. All vehicles are backed by a 3-year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000 mile power-train warranty.
