The first Mazda 626 series was produced in 1979, with a capacity of 2,000 cc and a power of 80 kW (60 kW), assembled in Hiroshima, Japan. There are two types, 2 doors (coupe) and 4 doors (sedan). And the transmission system there are 2 types, manual and automatic.

Then Mazda made a breakthrough by introducing ABS or anti-lock brakes to its cars, along with ABS also introducing airbags for the driver.

With the technology that preceded the era, it is not surprising that consumer acceptance is excellent, as Car & Driver Magazine 626 and the Tenth MX-6 List in 1988 prove.

There are two versions of Cronos, 2.0 and 2.5V6, both with ABS during braking and airbags, but in the Mazda 2.5 additional passenger airbag function.

The fourth series of the 626, Mazda has strengthened its position as a sophisticated machine, which is different from similar products (Accord and Camry), but with decreasing demand for coupe cars, the MX-6 series only produces up to 'Into the fourth series.

The fifth version of the 626 in 1998 with the GE platform, there is only a four-door series sedan, and Mazda eliminates the MX-6 series this year. Mazda does not add much functionality to the fifth version of the 626, but with increasing competition with similar cars like the Accord and the Camry, the 626 market is also growing.

For the latest version of Mazda 626, produced with GG platform, Mazda in Japan is called Atenza. Sold in 3 different types, namely sedans, sedans and station wagons. Known for Mazda 6.

Mazda 6 tries to present its new image, which is elegant, enlightening, and fiery. Although Mazda6 is targeting a new type of consumer, Mazda does not miss the advantage of its predecessor with modern features.

New Mazda 6 2013

The old Mazda 6 was a Which best buy for most of its life. so the new car has big tyretracks to fill.

And with rivals from Kia to Mercedes, it needs to be good. If the battle was fought on looks alone, the 6 could be in with a fighting chance. But is there enough substance behind the style.

The 148 horsepowerbrake power 2.2 diesel. Now, Mazda charges about two thousand pounds more for this than the equivalent petrol but it's one of the most efficient engines in its class so you'll save money every time you visit the pump.

Mazda claims 67 miles per gallon, and CO2 emissions of just 108 grams per kilometer, that means you'll pay just 20 pounds a year in car tax.

This diesel engine is smooth and responsive, although it's a bit noisier than you might expect. Apparently Mazda's deliberately tuned the exhaust for a sportier sound. And the 6-speed manual gearbox is just brilliant. It feels like it's been lifted straight out of the Amex5 sports car. It's precise and super quick.

The Mazda is available as the Saloon seen here or an estate called the Taura. Prices at launch range from 19 and a half thousand pounds to 28,000 pounds. Slightly more than an equivalent Ford Mondeo, but around 5,000 pounds less than a BMW 3 series.

There's a decent amount of feedback from the steering. And the 6 stays composed even in tight corners which inspires confidence.

Firm suspension is the only real black mark against the car especially if you have the 19-inch alloys fitted to this sport model. Stick with the standard 17-inch wheels for more comfort.

All 6s come with air conditioning, cruise control, Bluetooth, and an iPod compatible stereo. There are three trim levels: SE, SEL, and Sport. But beyond that, your only real choice is the paint color. a refreshing change from rival German cars, with their long and expensive options lists.

Inside, the Mazda is well made and comfortable, with enough space for three adults across the back seat here.

it's a shame this media system looks like it was grafted in as an afterthought. But it's mounted high in the driver's line of sight and is easy to use via either the touch screen or the joystick between the seats.

one area that might give owners cause for complaint is the boot, it's not short on space but Mazda decision to drop the hatchback version of the 6 means this isn't the most practical large car. Well unless you opt for the estate version of course. Which gives you 3 times the boot space for an extra seven hundred and fifty pounds.

Safety kit includes a radar automatic braking system for SEL and sport models this should prevent low-speed collisions and according to Mazda reduce the cars insurance rating.

The latest 6 takes the good points about the old car and adds a couple more, namely style an outstanding efficiency if reliability. Lives up to the standard of other Mazda buyers should have little to fear. So the new Mazda 6 is good, not as good as the cost leading BMW 3 series admittedly but you can have this car and a couple of very nice holidays for the price of a 320 D. It's worth thinking about, isn't it.
