Y’know, with “SkyActiv” this and “SkyActiv” that, I was really hoping for some incredible numbers when it came to my fuel economy for the week. It is not like the Mazda6 did horribly, and it is a mid-sized sedan shod with winter tires. What did I average? Well I eked out 7.7 L/100 km over the course of the week, which by itself is excellent.
So why am I not super excited? Because I test drove the Nissan Altima 2.5 SV in January, when it was colder, and the Altima was also fitted with winter tires, and I managed 7.5 L/100 km. I expected the Mazda to best that or at least match it – it was close, though.
What did impress me about the Mazda6 was its fun-to-drive attitude and grown up looks and feel. This new generation Mazda6 certainly turns heads and it delivers in all respects as well.
