Yes I have driven one, my wife almost bought one for her current car. I loved the way the Mazda 6 drove and was very impressed with the interior of the car but as I said the performance from the engine was anemic. It sounded good and was willing to rev but I just kept thinking that the car was crying out for more power. I would seriously consider the Mazda 6 for my next car if they'd put a more powerful engine in it.
