Mazda 6 2017

FROM
$12,980

The 2017 Mazda 6 range of configurations is currently priced from $12,990.

Our most recent review of the 2017 Mazda 6 resulted in a score of 7.5 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: The Mazda6 GT wagon looks stunning and is great to drive, but it doesn’t have the cargo capacity of rivals such as the Passat and Superb. As for the GT grade, I’d be looking at the Touring instead – it’s about $5K less and you’re only really missing out on the proximity key, which is great, but not $5K great. Good on you for considering a wagon, too. It’s the thinking person's alternative to an SUV.

The 2017 Mazda 6 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1600 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Mazda 6 2017 FAQs

What car is big enough to sleep in the back of?

It's hard to give you a definite recommendation, as most cargo measurements are in litres rather than floor length, but I reckon most mid-size wagons and large SUVs would do the job for you. 

Most of these have a flat boot floor with the seats folded, and likely have ample body length for sleeping. 

So Mazda6, Skoda Superb or Ford Mondeo wagons are worth a look, plus large SUVs like the Mazda CX-9, Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe

Don't be afraid to try them out for size at the dealers either. You'd certainly test out a mattress before buying right?!

You could also add the Mazda3 and 6 to the list.

Of all of those I would nominate the Camry as the great all-rounder.
