- Sporty Handling – One of the best-driving sedans in its class, with sharp steering and agile cornering.
- Premium Interior – High-quality materials and a near-luxury feel, especially in higher trims.
- No All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Option – Unlike some competitors (Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy), the Mazda6 is front-wheel drive only.
- Discontinued in the U.S. – Mazda stopped selling the Mazda6 in 2021 in North America, so newer models are unavailable.
