Lots of features in the GT for the price I was able to get. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
2009 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Absolute drivers car. The V-6 is powerful, the suspension and frame support the car with a stiffness that is just about the best, in any car that I have driven in this four door sedan class. Comfortable enough to fit three people over six foot AND their luggage - with room left over. This car is very understated and overlooked. If you don't like driving or think a car is no more than an over sized shoe box with seats - look elsewhere. Everything from the turn signals to the headlights are fully adjustable on the Mazda 6. The whole setup is logically arrayed so the driver has everything at their fingertips. Your eyes and hands never leave the road or steering wheel. No groping for controls. see full Mazda Mazda6 review

2009 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Need major model upgrade for heated seats. Bluetooth only on top GT model. Base radio mediocre. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
2009 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The Mazda 6s is like buying a never ending customizable toy. Everything is made to be driver adjustable. From the turn signals to the Bluetooth. After a while it just gets to the point that all you want to do is drive and forget all the little adjustments.... Reminds me of an iPhone. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
