$$Price Drop!!A five-door hatchback and a Sport Wagon were added to the Mazda6 line last year. The five-door model is the only mid-size hatchback sold in America, says Mazda, and it's perfect for active singles and young couples. For its part, the wagon provides even more cargo-hauling versatility while maintaining the 6's sporty demeanor. It is, indeed a sport wagon.The Mazda 6, or Mazda6 as the company calls it, debuted as a 2003 model to widespread acclaim and multiple awards. Money Magazine named it 'Best Mid-Sized Sedan,' and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety called it a 'Best Pick.' The Mazda6 ranked among Car and Driver's '10 Best' cars and Automobile Magazine's 'All-Stars.' And it was the highest-rated new vehicle nameplate in the J.D. Power and Associates APEAL study.For 2005, Mazda made ABS and traction control standard on all Mazda6 models. Side-impact and side-curtain airbags are standard on all but the base sedan, where they are optional. Sirius Satellite Radio can be added to any Mazda6. New Sport and Grand Touring trim levels widen the appeal of the Mazda6 by making available features buyers want at affordable prices.The Mazda6 represents one of the sportiest exterior designs in the mid-size sedan class. Visually, it has more personality than the Accord and more spunk than the Camry. It has a strong front-end treatment that's consistent with other Mazdas. Cat's-eye headlamps and big tail lamps that feature multi-element designs enhance the action at each corner of the car.The Mazda6 benefits from a kind of muscular conservatism inside and out. Everything in, on and under this car makes sense, and it all looks good doing it. The relationship of the lower body to the upper body looks perfect, yet the roof shape is designed for people, not for style. Its sporty profile makes the Mazda6 look smaller than it is.The shape of the Mazda6 is truly fetching when painted a hot color and accented by Sport-level trim, which includes a body-color front grille, gray headlight bezels, clear-lens halogen fog lamps, dual oval exhaust outlets, front and rear air dams, and side sill extensions. These bits are available on base and Grand Touring models. The outside door handles are well designed and easy to grab.
