Considering all the power available through the sporty V6, fuel consumption wasn't bad. Average fuel consumption runs at 12.6 L/100 km in the city and 8.2 L/100 km on the highway, therefore I got all my errands done in comfort and style without spending a fortune in fuel.

Although I can't say I had any 'cool' stories while behind the wheel of the Mazda6, it's at least a cool car. End of story.
