The 2005 Mazda MAZDA6 represents the second model year of its first generation. Available in both sedan and wagon body styles, it comes with three trims: i, s, and Sport. The base i trim is equipped with a 2.3L four-cylinder engine that produces 160 horsepower, mated to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. On the other hand, the s and Sport trims are empowered by a 3.0L V6 engine that churns out 220 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Notable features include anti-lock brakes, optional side-curtain airbags, traction control, a six-disc CD changer, and an optional moonroof. However, it doesn't carry the advanced infotainment systems we see in today's cars like large touchscreens or smartphone integration. The MAZDA6 is well-regarded for its athletic handling, with many reviewers highlighting its sporty nature which clearly distinguishes it from its rivals in the midsize class.
