The 2006 Mazda 6 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Mazda 6 is also known as Mazda Atenza (China and Japan) in markets outside Australia.
The Mazda 6 2006 prices range from $3,850 for the basic trim level Sedan Limited to $12,650 for the top of the range Sedan MPS (Leather).

When doing your research you need to dig deeper and find out the claimed fuel consumption for city and country driving. The Mazda 3 manual is claimed to return on average 7.9 L/100 km, but when you look at the claims for city and country you find that it does 10.8 L/100 km and 6.2 L/100 km respectively, which lines up reasonably well with your experience remembering that the claimed figures are not real life ones like your own are.
