The Mazda6 has always been the refined option in the midsize sedan segment, a category that is shrinking faster than a supermarket trolley return queue on a Sunday. The GT Turbo adds a 2.5-litre turbo petrol and lifts the equipment level to justify the premium positioning.
Simone reviews the GT trim and finds Mazda has polished this car into something genuinely pleasant to drive eday. The interior quality exceeds what the price tag would lead you to expect. The turbo engine delivers its torque low in the rev range, which makes city driving effortless, and the ride is supple enough for Australian urban roads without feeling floaty at higher speeds.
The Mazda6 GT Turbo does not have the sales numbers to prove it is winning the segment. What it has is a quiet, confident case for itself. Those who test it and then go buy a Camry are making a perfectly reasonable choice. They are probably leaving a better car in the dealership.
