The current Mazda 6 isn’t totally new to our world, but what an upgrade over the previous model. The current 6 looks great, has a ton of space, and comes fairly priced.

For 2016 it received a facelift, with the highlights including a new nose, electronic parking brake and LED headlights on Touring and Grand Touring models. The interior receives a new dashboard, armrest and center console. Cars fitted with an automatic transmission receive a Sport mode.

Our test car was the rather loaded Grand Touring. It gets leather-trimmed seats, power moonroof, rain-sensing wipers, LED fog lights and some extra comforts. For 2016 the Mazda 6 Grand Touring gets an LED grille—yes, when illuminated the lower half of the grille twinkles—plus

We bought a brand new '16 6 GT last year for my wife. She loves it. Dark blue metallic with off-white leather. We love it. Handles great and the little touches like the lighted grille, LEDs and metallic interior trim make it feel more expensive than it is. My wife calls it her luxury car on an economy car budget. The only thing I could wish for is the 2.5 turbo from the new CX-9 as an option.
