New Mazda 6 2013 - Which? first drive

http://whi.ch/mazda62013?utm_campaign... The 2013 Mazda 6 is one the most fuel-efficient cars in its class -- and one of the best-looking. Can it tempt buyers from the all-conquering BMW 3 Series?

Mazda's flagship large car is available as a four-door saloon or an estate, called the Tourer. Unlike the old 6, there's no five-door hatchback -- apparently buyers see saloons as more upmarket.

Prices for diesel models start at £21,795 for the 148bhp 2.2-litre saloon, rising to £28,045 for the 173bhp 2.2 Tourer auto in fully-loaded Sport Nav spec.

Petrol versions are significantly cheaper, at £19,595 for the entry-level 143bhp 2.0 saloon and £24,865 for the top-spec 163bhp 2.0 Tourer.
