Mazda 6 - car reviews
The information provided by the owners of this car reflects mainly the positive aspects. For example, owners of the Mazda 6 2011 model note high noise isolation and relatively low fuel consumption.

Other drivers noted moments such as the lack of roll in corners and the overall stability on the track of the Mazda 6.
Reviews with negative views are few in number. The machine is very unpretentious, and consumables for it are available.
