We love test driving cars, trucks, minivans, and SUVS and have been doing so for so long that we enjoy learning about all the new features that make a vehicle perfect for families.
Vehicle provided for week long test drive.
The 2016 family sedan market has a ton of great options. One of my favorites which we just had chance to test drive and review is the Mazda6 i Grand Touring.
Mazda has come up with a formula which consistently produces a fun to drive car with a bit of an attitude. The Mazda6 continues that trend for sure. It is a perfect family car, safe, reliable and with great gas mileage thanks to their SKYACTIV technology.
Appearance & Attitude
Like I said, Mazda makes a car with a bit of an attitude. The attitude comes from both how it looks and how it drives. This sporty car looks aggressive and while it’s numbers and sheer speed won’t blow many cars out of the water, the drive feels a lot faster than it really is. Even though your speed is lower, it feels like you are moving much faster thanks to how the Mazda6 handles.
For 2016, the interior also has improved quite a bit. You get a stylish car that has a 7” monitor, which looks like a iPad on your console. That console has slimmed down a bit and you get a very roomy appearance. Combine that with the upscale leather and materials in the Mazda6 and you have a classy car with some attitude, perfect for driving with the fam, or those times you get to leave them at home and have some fun!
Safety
The Mazda6 will keep your family stylish AND safe too. It is equipped with lots of tech to help create a safer ride. This includes radar cruise control, smart city brake support, distance recognition and lane departure. Combined with the rear camera and topped off with the 2016 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, and you can feel comfortable knowing your family is in good hands.
Made for the Family
The Mazda6 seats 5 very comfortably and the trunk is larger than expected. You are able to split the back seats down in a 60/40 split to help you out with moving items and family equipment. Your family will be safe and sound in the Mazda6 and will enjoy every moment in it.
Check it out for yourself. I would really like everyone to check out Mazda when its time for a new car. They have a great blend of fair pricing in a great looking car with outstanding performance. The Mazda6 is the perfect 2016 family sedan. In addition, there are plenty of other models to fit your lifestyle too!

I love this car! Mazdas has always been one of my favorite models.They are really reliable and look great too.
The husband has a Mazda6, and I LOVE it! It’s a huge step up from our former SUV. Not only do the kids have MORE legroom and hip-space, but we can easily fit three car seats across in it. Plus, the trunk is HUGE… much roomier than our old SUV! OH, and we saved over $200 a month! I could go on and on about our Mazda6… just love it!
