2010 Mazda 6 i Sedan Touring Plus Review

Fun Family Sedan

A three-quarter front view of a Kona Blue 2010 Mazda 6 i Sedan Touring Plus

In short: A full-size family sedan with a powerful punch.

Don't let the expanded dimensions of the new Mazda 6 fool you — this full-size family sedan still packs a powerful punch. With 170 horsepower coursing through its efficient I4 engine, this muscular Mazda can zoom-zoom from 0-60 in a respectable 6.3 seconds. However, as its beefed-up size indicates, the Mazda 6 is about more than just sporty performance and acceleration; it offers the type of comfort and convenience that families need. In an obvious nod to passengers who don't share Dad's need for speed, the Mazda 6 provides a sophisticated ride that is smooth and quiet without ever being boring. The sedan's refined handling is complemented by an equally advanced interior design, which is available with options such as an in-dash trip computer, Bluetooth audio and phone integration, and a blind spot monitoring system.
