Test drive Mazda 6 Sedan Sport: Memories of Lilac Lie
How do people choose the color when buying a car? It was this thought that Lilac Silver Metallic prompted me with a delicate lilac or light purple (as you like), in which the body of the new Mazda 6 was painted. The color in everyone’s life plays a large role, for example, creates a mood. If you are melancholy or at an official technique with a certain dress code, your color scheme will be predominantly dark. If you have a cheerful mood or you are simply a very creative person from your color spot, you can expect anything a matter of taste. But most importantly, it can be easily changed. This happens with clothes. The color of the car is constant, and therefore its choice is a whole history-white classic, the red is the safest, but for an amateur, green for dummies, is universal silver, and therefore the most popular, which went to used and so on.
In addition to the fact that I saw the exterior of the very sixth Mazda with a very expressive design, an unusual, rare and very attractive color color of the body shone in front of me.
Imagine, to the best of pumped sides, the minimum gaps between body details, oblique lines of racks and a wedge -shaped hood, completed by a chrome -plated bar of a false radiator grill with an already familiar seagull -form. The front bumper with the headlights of that very new design, a large lower air intake and vertical fog lights in light lilac design. The image of Japanese sakura in color invariably arises. In this color, or rather the color, I spent the beautiful two weeks of summer, plunging into a unique purple mood every day.
However, the interior, regardless of the color scheme from the outside, is in Japanese in a business style: black leather, wooden decoration, plastic and silver chrome. The toolbar is simple and understandable. The steering wheel with hot control keys for cruise control, an audio system and an on-board computer, bright red-blue-white heel of the main devices. The unobtrusive trim in the tone of the panel complements the external aesthetic appearance. On the central console under the visor, a liquid crystal display, below two deflectors with an emergency button between them, an audio control unit, twin-zone climate control keys, heating keys and a manual transmission. The design of the salon is also restrained by black-black leather seats, and black-black velor inserts in the central part of the seats. Bright upholstery of the roof and silver inserts of chrome decoration complement the classics of black and white.
The sedan version is perhaps the most popular among the people since the last century. From the point of view of security, the difference between sedan, hatchback and station wagon. Such a difference exists only between equipment and manufacturers. You should only choose what is more like. If the car itself has a fairly high level of security, then the station wagon, sedan or hatchback does not matter. I would only include spaciousness to a significant difference. For example, in Mazda 6 Wagon you can fit a two -meter mattress - 1926 mm length and 1310 mm width with folded rear seats. In the hatchback, ceterly equal to 1879 mm, lengths to the backs of seats 1 row by 1360 mm width. But in the sedan, the luggage compartment is wider than 1,500 mm. However, the possibility of folding the second row of seats is not the wrong goal. There are many places in the cabin and five people can accommodate. As for the luggage, use 519 liters of the luggage compartment at your discretion. However, this is quite a lot - I fit into (by the way, the intericental distance of the length of the side shelf of the reserved seat car is only 1747 mm).
Under the hood, everything is compact precisely by such a feature allows the legs of the driver and passengers to stretch out, regardless of growth and length. Mazda engineers are proud to enable passengers of the first row to have 1079 mm lengths, and 947 mm sitting in the second row.
As for the power unit, in sports, he was unexpectedly nimble for me. Despite the fact that in the traction-speed characteristics there are not impressive 9.9 seconds of acceleration to 100 km/h, the feeling of speed and lightness was captured quite brightly. When accelerating, the car jumps out from under you, like a retreating horse, is easily controlled at speeds and maneuvered at ease. In general, without complaints. I already wrote in great detail about the pros and cons of the sixth Mazda in the Mazda 6 Wagon test drive.
In the tested version, a 2-liter MZR was hidden in the hood in combination with a 6-speed checkpoint. The maximum speed with such an engine is 214 km/h, the maximum power of the car is 147 horsepower. At the same time, the mixed fuel consumption according to the results of a two -week trip in Moscow and the towns, and more than one and a half thousand km, amounted to 8.9 liters per 100 km. The cost is an important part, which is primarily based in the choice of each buyer. Sports versions of the sixth sedan Mazda are offered today in the basic configuration in the range from 852 to 891 thousand rubles. Expensive? Given the set of the Japanese base in which there is everything, or almost everything is quite accessible. Moreover, in a number of competitors (in similar characteristics of the volume and power of the engine, transmission, acceleration and maximum speed) are Toyota Avensis - from 1,289,000 rubles, Honda Accord from 1 059 050 rub, Ford Mondeo from 873,000 rubles, VW Passat from 1 121 391 p.
