It looked fantastic, and with an Impreza-rivalling 280bhp, four-wheel drive, and the promise of a slightly subtler but still unashamedly aggressive driving experience, Mazda's take on the sports saloon looked a mouth-watering proposition. Especially when you remembered that the cooking Mazda 6 almost out-Mondeos the real thing; engaging and fluid, if lacking the bite to really excite. Fast forward to 2006. Rush into your local Mazda showroom, feast your eyes on the production Mazda 6 MPS and you'll be filled with, er, disappointment. It's not a bad-looking car, and the bulging bonnet-line and aggressive face are certainly reminiscent of the MPS (Mazda Performance Series) concept, but from the A-pillars back it looks like Mazda ran out of confidence. There's none of the broad-shouldered aggression that Imprezas and Evos have to spare, and although clearly trying to strike a much less ostentatious compromise, I can't help feeling that the MPS is playing it a little too safe. An effective Q-car then? Well, delve beneath the surface and the MPS starts to tug at your curiosity all over again. Mazda has turbocharged and intercooled its smooth 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine and, in the search for efficiency, also equipped it with direct injection (a first for Mazda) to boost power to 256bhp at 5500rpm and torque to an impressive 280lb ft at 3000rpm. Under normal circumstances all of that power is fed to the front wheels via a slick-shifting six-speed 'box, but an electronically controlled Active Torque Split differential can redirect as much as 50 per cent of the drive to the rear if necessary. The system has three programmes, Normal, Sport and Stability, which the electronic brain switches between, without the driver's knowledge, depending on road speed, steering angle, lateral g, yaw rate and engine speed. A limited-slip diff in the rear axle further aids traction and stability. Mazda claims the MPS is good for a 6.6sec sprint to 62mph and rock- solid at its maximum 150mph. It's an impressive spec for the modest £23,950 asking price, and pitches the MPS against the new front-drive Vectra VXR. When you discover that Mazda has gone to great lengths to stiffen the bodyshell (it's over 50 per cent more rigid than a standard 6) in search of more consistent suspension response (which itself is 25 per cent firmer at the front, 26 per cent at the rear, and equipped with thicker anti-roll bars), you sense that the subtle MPS could actually be an unexpected rival for the sledgehammer rally replicas. Inside, the quality is excellent, although there's not a huge amount of style to go with the obvious integrity. It's neat and attractive, but nothing like as special-feeling as something like an Audi A4. Even so, the seats are supportive and the driving position is spot on. Twist the key and the four-cylinder engine catches quickly and idles almost imperceptibly. The gearshift feels smooth, light and very quick, and the torquey engine immediately gives an impression of real muscularity. The MPS rides well too, more 3-series than Impreza or Evo. In fact, only the slightly disconcerting steering feel chips away at a good first impression. The MPS retains the standard 6 rack but the assistance has been lessened to create a 'beefy' feel. Unfortunately the weighting feels inconsistent and the front wheels don't respond to the first few degrees of lock. Despite the talk of stability when pressing on, at UK-motorway speeds the MPS can feel a little vague and you find yourself instinctively nudging-in small steering inputs just to feel exactly what the car is doing. At medium speeds the picture is clearer and on admittedly smooth but very demanding Spanish roads the MPS feels agile and keen to play. In very tight turns it scrubs into understeer, the four-wheel-drive system failing to get the power to the rear with enough conviction, but through more flowing turns it responds more cleanly and starts to make sense. The steering is a shade slow and there is some turn-in understeer, but if you push through this you can feel the rear wheels start to come into play. The result is a nice neutral stance and the narrow 215-section tyres seem to help it quickly get up on tip-toes and start to flow. If the turbo is really working, the 6 can even be persuaded to power-oversteer in a Mitsubishi Evo style. Not what I was expecting at all. The engine is very effective, punching hard from 2500rpm and feeling every bit of its 256bhp. Only as the revs rise over 5500rpm does the power start to drop off, and then you notice that despite Mazda's best efforts the in-line four doesn't have an inspiring voice. It's not offensive, just lacking in character. Compared with the rabid Evo, you could say the same about the MPS as a whole. But Mazda feels there are plenty of people out there who could do without that divisive 'character' that loses as many buyers as it snares for Mitsubishi and Subaru. The MPS tilts more towards the BMW 330i, which causes problems of its own. However, with competitive pricing, strong performance and a chassis keen to indulge, the MPS is well worth a look.

(Discuss) Mazda 6 Manufacturer Mazda Also called Mazda Atenza (in Japan) Production 2002-present Assembly Hiroshima, Japan Hofu, Japan Flat Rock, Michigan (for NA) Bogotá, Colombia (for SA) Changchun, China (for China) Rayong, Thailand[citation needed] Predecessor Mazda 626/Capella Successor Mazda CX-7 (for station wagon) Class Mid-size car Layout Front engine, front-wheel drive / four-wheel drive The Mazda6 or Mazda 6 (known as the Mazda Atenza in Japan) is a mid-size car produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Mazda since 2002. The Mazda6 has sold over one million units worldwide since its introduction, hitting that sales milestone faster than previous Mazdas.[1] The Mazda6 was the first example of the company's new Stylish, Insightful, and Spirited design philosophy followed by the Mazda2 in December 2002, RX-8 in August 2003, Mazda3 in January 2004, Mazda5 in the summer of 2005, MX-5 in October 2005, and Mazda CX-7 in November 2006. The Mazda6 is the successor of Mazda 626, also known as Mazda Capella and Mazda Cronos. The 2002 Mazda6 is essentially the 4th generation Mazda 626 as the Mazda6 continues on the G-platform, progressing from the GF-platform 626/Capella to the GG-platform Mazda6. The Mazda6 is currently raced in the SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge GTS class. Mazda finished first in the manufacturer's championship standings.[2] Mazda6 drivers also finished first and second in the Touring Car driver points.[3] Contents 1 First generation (2002–2008) 1.1 Gallery 1.2 Mazdaspeed6 1.3 Awards 2 2nd generation 2.1 North American model 3 2011 facelift 4 Racing 5 References 6 External links [edit] First generation (2002–2008) First generation Production 2002-2008 Body style(s) 4-door sedan 5-door station wagon 5-door liftback Platform Mazda GG platform Engine(s) 1.8 L MZR I4 *L8 2.0 L MZR I4 *LF 2.3 L MZR I4 *L3 3.0 L MZI V6 2.0 L MZR-CD Diesel * Denotes European Engine Code Transmission(s) 4-speed Sport automatic 5-speed automatic 5-speed manual 6-speed automatic 6-speed manual Wheelbase 105.3 in (2675 mm) Length Sedan and liftback: 4,745 mm (186.8 in) Station wagon: 4,770 mm (187.8 in) Width 1,781 mm (70.1 in) Height Sedan and liftback: 1,440 mm (56.7 in) Station wagon: 1,455 mm (57.3 in) Related Ford Edge Ford Fusion Lincoln MKX Lincoln MKZ Lincoln Zephyr Mazda CX-9 Mercury Milan The model lineup consists of a four-door sedan, a five-door liftback and a five-door station wagon, marketed in North America as the "Sport Sedan", "5-Door" and "Sport Wagon", respectively. In Australia, the lineup starts with Limited, available only as a sedan. Then comes the Classic, available in sedan, hatch or wagon. The Luxury model is next available in sedan and hatch versions. Topping the range is the Luxury Sports model, available only as a hatch. In New Zealand the lineup consisted of 2.0L GLX (sedan only), 2.3L GSX (sedan, hatch, and wagon), and the range-topping 2.3L Limited (sedan and hatch). When it arrived in North America, it was first sold as a 2003 model in the United States and as a 2004 model in Canada. In Europe, the luxury sports model was available as a 136 hp (101 kW) direct injection turbodiesel ("DITD") station wagon up until 2007. As of 2008, the European Mazda catalog lists only the "Sport" version of the 146 hp (109 kW) turbodiesel station wagon, while the "Luxury Sport" version has been dropped. Drivetrain combinations include the Mazda MZR engine in configurations of 1.8 L (L8-DE), 2.0 L (LF-VE) and 2.3 L (L3-VE), initially with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission (with sequential-automatic option, dubbed the "Four-Speed Sport AT"). In the US domestic market a 3.0 L Duratec 30 V6 engine is also available with a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic (with sequential-automatic option, dubbed the "5-Speed Sport AT"). European and Australian versions also feature a four-cylinder turbodiesel that comes with a six-speed manual transmission and produces significantly more torque than the V6 with much improved fuel economy. In North America, the 5-speed automatic optional on the V6 models is replaced by an Aisin 6-speed automatic for 2005 model year. The four-cylinder model receives a Jatco five-speed automatic in the following year. Power is directed to the front wheels in most markets, although full-time all wheel drive models are available in Japan, Europe and Australia. Not all configurations are available in all areas - for example, the Mazda 6 as released in Australia is available in 2.3L four-cylinder guise only, while the 626 which it replaced was available with a choice of four or six-cylinder engines. The MZI V6 engine was only fitted to vehicles manufactured at Flat Rock, Michigan and destined for the US and Canadian domestic markets. Just as before the Mazda 626 was renamed to Mazda6 Atenza, Ford continues to use the Mazda's G-series platform for the basis of a number of its CD3 platform coded vehicles, including the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ, Lincoln MKX, and a range of SUVs and minivans. Ford also plans to offer a hybrid powertrain on the platform. The official Mazda chassis codes are GG (sedan/hatch) and GY (wagon) series - following the 626/Capella in its GF/GW series. Mazda's Hofu plants in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan produce the Mazda6 for international markets. In North America, Mazda 6 production is handled at the AutoAlliance International plant which is a joint venture between Ford and Mazda. The first Mazda 6 rolled off this Flat Rock, Michigan assembly line on October 1, 2002, one month after 626 production ended. There are also satellite plants building Mazda 6 models in China and Thailand for their respective local markets. In September 2005, all Australian Mazda 6's received a facelift which included a feature upgrade, 5 speed auto and 6 speed manual transmissions, standard 16" or 17" alloy wheels and minor bodywork upgrades. In China, the Mazda6 is used as the base for the FAW Benteng, also known as Besturn or Hongqi C301, manufactured by the First Automobile Works in Jilin Province.

It features a turbocharged version of the 2.3 L MZR I4 which produces 272 PS (200 kW) (European version is detuned to 260 PS (191 kW); the North American version, at 274 hp (204 kW), revised to 270 hp (200 kW) for 2007). All models have 280 lb·ft (380 N·m) of torque. This 2.3 L DISI turbocharged engine features direct fuel injection and conforms to the new Euro 5 emissions standards. It has a revised front fascia with a raised hood, a 6-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel drive. The all wheel drive system uses Mazda's Active Torque Split computer-based control which routes up to 50% of the power to the rear wheels depending on driving conditions. The Mazdaspeed Atenza competed with the Subaru Legacy GT and less directly with the compact Subaru Impreza WRX STi and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Originally scheduled to be launched in June 2005, the Mazdaspeed Atenza was delayed until November. In North America, the Mazdaspeed6 comes in two trim levels; the "Sport" trim with cloth interior and standard key entry and ignition; and the "Grand Touring" trim with leather interior, keyless entry/ignition, and an optional DVD navigation. Automatic climate control is standard, as is a 200 W Bose stereo system featuring seven speakers and a 9 inch subwoofer in addition to an in-dash six-disc CD changer. A sunroof with moonroof feature is optional on the Grand Touring trim. Car and Driver magazine has achieved a 0-60 mph time of 5.4 seconds for this vehicle.[4] [edit] Awards The Mazda6 was second place in the 2003 European Car of the Year awards and made Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 2003. The Sport Wagon won the Canadian Car of the Year Best New Station Wagon award, while the Sport sedan won the Canadian Car of the Year Best New Family Car award for 2005. The Atenza Wagon also won What Car?'s Best Estate award in 2004. Also the Mazda6 won the 2003 Semperit Irish Car of the Year. The Mazda6 won the 'Best Mid-size Car (over $28,000)' title in Australia's Best Cars in 2002 and 2003. It came second in 2004, behind the Subaru Liberty, and fifth in 2005 (the Honda Accord Euro was first in 2005). Wheels magazine also awarded the Mazda6 winner of its Active Safety Program in July 2005. In December 2007 in Australia the Mazda6 won the Carsales Peoples Choice award for its class. The Mazda 6 was praised for its edgy handsome design, communicative steering and tight suspension. However, as it was designed as a world car in order to fit the needs of Europe and Japan, it was smaller than its North American contemporaries in the midsize segment, being criticized for its reduced passenger space. Its acceleration, particularly the V6 engine models, lagged behind that of its rivals as well. [5] As one of the few midsize vehicles to offer a wagon and hatchback, these models retained the good driving characteristics of the sedan while providing additional cargo versatility. The hatchback's liftback/notchback styling was considered a clever design to disguise it as a four-door sedan, as North Americans generally considered trunks more elegant than hatches. The wagon had an early demise but the hatchback was somewhat successful in Canada, especially in Quebec, though it would not have a 2009 refresh, as both models were unpopular in the US.

Mazda continues to provide three body styles, including 4-door saloon (sedan), 5-door hatchback and wagon. A number of journalists have already praised its electrically assisted steering for being considerably improved compared to the last generation, providing more feedback to the driver. The hatchback model even has a trunk space which beats the larger rival Ford Mondeo/Opel Insignia (hatchback) by 200 liters with rear seats folded down. This model of the Mazda6 was awarded 2010 Family Car of the Year by What Car? magazine. 2008 Mazda6 wagon (Europe) 2008–2009 Mazda 6 (GH) Classic sedan (Australia) 2008 Mazda 6 (GH) Classic interior (Australia) 2010 Mazda 6 Classic sedan (Australia; facelift) [edit] North American model 2009 Mazda6 i Sport (US) The North American version was redesigned for the 2009 model year. It is a widened and lengthened version of the model sold elsewhere, with larger engines. Reviewers have noted its coupe-like roofline and sportier style.[9][10][11][12] North American engine choices include a new 2.5 liter 4-cylinder and North American versions get the 3.7 liter V6 which is also available in the Mazda CX-9.[13] Motortrend recorded a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 6.1 seconds for the Mazda 6 V6.[14] For the North American market, only a sedan model will be available. A Mazdaspeed 6 variant has not been announced. Despite the North American version's increase in dimensions, Mazda maintains that the 6 retains the overall driving experience is still sportier than rivaling Accords, Camrys, or Malibus. Early reviews have been favorable.[15] [edit] 2011 facelift At the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, Mazda was pleased to show their new 2011 Mazda6. The United States are supposed to get theirs later this year or next year. In Road&Track magazine they added "The Mazda6 sedan gets a minor makeover with new headlights, foglights and 17-in. alloy wheels. Inside there are new cloth seat materials, a new steering wheel and door armrests, and a rearview camera now comes standard on Grand Touring models." And Mazda has confirmed that it will also happen on all 2011 models. [edit] Racing Touring Car class. In 2009, they finished 2nd in the manufacturer's championship with 65 points, behind Acura.[16] In 2007, Mazda won its first manufacturers championship in the class.[17] The Mazda 6 is also used in the KONI Challenge Series Sport Touring class. It is currently used by the Baglieracing team with Dennis Baglier, Chris Gleason, and Marty Luffy as drivers.[18] [edit] References ^ Neff, John (2006-03-17).
