On the highway, wind noise is barely a whisper in the Mazda6 and, even with snow tires on the 18-inch alloy wheels, road noise is not an issue. There’s no untoward background noise to hamper enjoyment of the 10-speaker BOSE audio system. (Harry Pegg/AUTONET)

In the test car, shifting is handled by an ultra-smooth five-speed automatic transmission with sport shift. (Harry Pegg/AUTONET)
