Why We Drove It: The 2009 Mazda 6 receives 5-star crash-test ratings from the NHTSA in frontal- and side-impact testing. It also receives a rare 5-star rollover rating.
Initial Quality – The 2009 Mazda 6 is redesigned and has not yet been included in the J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study.
Performance and Design – The 2009 Mazda 6 is redesigned and has not yet been included in the J.D. Power and Associates Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study.
Predicted Reliability – The 2009 Mazda 6 is redesigned and has not yet been included in the J.D. Power and Associates Vehicle Dependability Study. However, based on the performance of all Mazda models during the past three years in both our Initial Quality and Vehicle Dependability studies, the Predicted Reliability Power Circle Rating for the 2009 Mazda 6 is 3.5 out of 5.
Fuel Economy – EPA fuel economy estimates for the 2009 Mazda 6 are 21 mpg city/30 mpg highway with the 2.5 liter 4-cylinder and automatic transmission. With a manual transmission, the same engine delivers slightly lower fuel economy at 20 mpg city/29 mpg highway. With the optional 3.7-liter V-6 engine, the Mazda 6 is estimated to achieve 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway.
Safety – The 2009 Mazda 6 gets 5-star crash test ratings across the board from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, including for the rollover rating which is rare. In tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the 2009 Mazda 6 receives a “Good” rating in the frontal offset test and a “Marginal” rating for rear crash protection. The IIHS had not conducted side impact testing at the time this review was published.
Environment – According to the EPA, the 2009 Mazda 6 consumes between 14.3 and 17.1 barrels of petroleum annually, with the manual transmission model and the V-6 engine model consuming more than the model with the four-cylinder and the automatic transmission. The resulting carbon footprint ratings range from 7.7 to 9.2 tons of air pollution per year. The Mazda 6 receives a national air pollution score of 6 out of 10 regardless of engine choice, and a California/New England score that ranges from 6 out of 10 to 9.5 out of 10, the latter rating giving the model with the four-cylinder and the automatic a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle rating in those regions.

2009 Mazda 6s Grand Touring - I've owned many cars from economy to luxury and sports cars too. This car is the best I've owned with zero issues since purchase. It's not luxury but it has style, performance and it's economical to own. I'm not Jay Leno (can't afford a car collection) so I try to get everything I need in one car and this car does it. Plenty of room like a full size car but I still get 23 MPG average and it uses 87 octane not 92 octane like it's competitors. So everybody else can buy an Accord, Camry or Altima. I'll be happy knowing that I won't see my car on every corner!
