2006 Mazda MAZDASPEED MAZDA6 Road Test Ratings

The Mazdaspeed 6 sedan provides performance driving dynamics in an overall package that still looks respectable in your driveway.

The 2.3-liter turbo engine is quite strong, and the all-wheel drive powertrain puts it to the pavement well. Steering is sharp, but the understeering chassis takes some of the edge off the fun.

The ride is well-damped and the driving position is good, but non-enthusiasts might consider it too stiff.

The Mazdaspeed6 has the same well laid out interior found in the Mazda6.

Sporty styling, inside and out matches the zoom zoom theme.
