The fact of the matter is each model I've just mentioned, and the others that fit into this category but lack the excitement offered
by the 6, V50 and Magnum, deliver attributes that make them worthy winners in one or more categories. One might be quicker from 0 to 100, but the other might offer better fuel economy. One may feature a higher tactile quality inside, while the other could deliver better real world reliability. One thing that's for sure is the three mentioned radiate a certain passionate flair, an important component to me at least, and all deserve your attention before making a purchasing decision. In the end, if you choose the Mazda6 wagon you most likely won't be disappointed. It's an especially enjoyable car that beats out a Jaguar X-Type wagon in my opinion, and for tens of thousands less. See, it is possible to be smart as well as good looking.
