2014 Mazda Mazda6 I Grand Touring

The 2014 Mazda6 is Mazda's mid-size sedan, the one that goes up against the Accord, Camry, and Altima with a more athletic feel. It's genuinely fun to drive for a family sedan, with quick steering and a chassis that stays composed on back roads. The cabin is well put together, and the front seats are comfortable; rear legroom is fine for adults, though the back seat is a bit snug for three. Owners note the 19-inch tires are noisy on rough pavement and not ideal for snowy areas, but report no major mechanical issues. Stepping up from the I Touring to the I Grand Touring adds leather upholstery, a Bose audio system, and the larger 19-inch wheels that give the car a sharper look. Its 2.5L I4 makes 184 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic that shifts smoothly, returning 30 mpg combined on regular fuel. The I Grand Touring also brings adaptive front lighting and a power moonroof as standard, so you get the premium touches without checking option boxes.
