Just picked an '06 Mazda 6 from the Novi Mi HLE. I had previously driven these vehicles, but this was the first chance in the "refreshed" V6 model. Initial thoughts are positive. Plenty of Zoom Zoom and handles like a dream. Interior components are pretty well built, although Im not a big fan of the seats as they are a little too stiff for my likes. The one I have is fairly standard, looks like the only options were the V6/Automatic and Steering Wheel Audio controls. I would have prefered something with a little more rear space (Sonata or Malibu) but this works great for a 3 day, $8 award rental ;)
