Subaru Legacy 2.0i Sedan (A) CVT Review: The 6th Element
The Mazda6 has been hugely under rated ever since its debut over two years ago. How will the mildly tweaked version fare against another under rated large saloon - the Subaru Legacy.
The base Legacy comes with standard kit like cruise control, electrically adjustable driver's seat, trip computer and so on.
The 2-litre Mazda6 comes in two grades - a base V Grade and the higher spec R Grade tested here. The R Grade model's list of standard kit is certainly hard to beat - it comes with HID headlamps, 18-inch wheels, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and operation, six airbags, rain and light sensors, cruise control, trip computer, electrically adjustable front seats, factory stereo and so on.
With its longer list of standard kit, the Mazda6 2.0 R is justifiably a tad more expensive than the Legacy 2.0i. Picking a winner between these two Camry alternatives certainly isn't easy - each has their own strengths and virtues. At the end of the day, the winner of this twin test all depends on what you require - the Legacy's the winner if you're looking for something that is more comfortable and slightly more affordable while the Mazda is certainly better equipped, looks better and the automatic choice for those who appreciate dynamic handling.
