2009 Mazda MAZDA6
Price Range: $18,550 - $28,465

Utility
The Mazda MAZDA6 and the average sedan can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Dimensions
The average sedan's tank is almost the same size as the MAZDA6's, though the MAZDA6's is a little bigger. The average sedan and the Mazda MAZDA6 compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You most certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Mazda MAZDA6 than with the average sedan, as both offer similar mileage ranges.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The MAZDA6 is considerably cheaper to get to the dealership than the average sedan. The Mazda MAZDA6 guzzles a lot of gas compared to the average sedan. The Mazda MAZDA6 is tremendously less expensive than the typical sedan when it comes to MSRP.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Mazda MAZDA6 and the typical sedan most definitely handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The average sedan has a more massive engine than the Mazda MAZDA6. Bear in mind that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the average sedan is significantly more powerful than the Mazda MAZDA6. The Mazda MAZDA6 could learn a lesson or two from the average sedan when it comes to torque.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Mazda MAZDA6 offers a bit more head room than the average sedan, there frankly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the MAZDA6 provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the average sedan, there really isn't much of a difference.

Overview
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Mazda MAZDA6 isn't quite as generous as the average sedan's.
