Best in class. One of the few that still had a definite feel and connectedness to the road.
The 5-door is the sportiest looking of the Mazda6 lineup, yet is also classy enough to not fall victim to being excessively boy racer. A set of 18-spoke aftermarket wheels also dress up the car far more than the factory 5-spoke.
The interior layout is good. Everything is clearly labeled, easy to find, and operates with a definite and substantial feel.
The brushed aluminum finish combined with the dark grey give a sporting demeanor while the shapes and forms all flow into a cohesive whole.
