The MAZDA 6 (2008-10) 4DR SALOON 2.5 170 SL is a spacious, four-door family saloon: a practical alternative to an estate or SUV, aimed at buyers wanting room and comfort without a premium badge. In the UK, it sits among mainstream large family cars such as the Ford Mondeo, Toyota Avensis and Volkswagen Passat. With a 2.5-litre petrol engine producing 170 horsepower, this SL is the more eager choice for drivers who value smooth, confident journeys and useful performance, though it may not be as economical as smaller-engined alternatives. The roomy cabin and boot make it well suited to family duties, regular commuting and longer trips, while its saloon shape gives it a more traditional feel than a hatchback. mycarcheck.com has recorded 165 look-ups across 75 VINs, a useful snapshot; cars averaged 130,000 miles, 8,000 yearly and 4.7 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £1,100, based on available check data.
