That's a fair characterization of the 2009 Mazda6. It has arrived as a worthy competitor to the leaders among mid-size sedans -- the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord -- as well as contenders like the Nissan Altima, Chevrolet Malibu, Volkswagen Passat and Ford Fusion, and some luxury cars as well.

Other than that, it's pretty cheap. The No. 1 problem with the 2009 Honda Civic GX, the only natural gas burning compact car on sale today to the public, is it uses natural gas. Every time I started to enjoy the car, I would take a peek at the white fuel gauge and see it slowly ticking toward empty. My heart would race and this sick feeling would begin to overwhelm me. All I could hear was the voice of the man who dropped off the Civic for my week-long test... Full article...
