    Mazda 6 or Subaru Liberty?

    Mazda Mazda Advice Mazda 6 Mazda 6 Advice Mazda 6 2015 Subaru Subaru Advice Subaru Liberty Subaru Liberty Advice Subaru Liberty 2015

    I am interested in purchasing a car with Automatic Emergency Braking and am leaning towards a Mazda 6 Sport (petrol) with the Safety Pack. However I do a 600km highway round trip every one or two months and am wondering if the Mazda will have sufficient power to handle the overtaking and hills involved. Would I be better advised to look at the Subaru Liberty 3.6R, which of course has much more grunt but is also more expensive to purchase and run?

    I have no hesitation is saying the Mazda6 will handle any overtaking or hill climbing tests you might throw at it. The Mazda6 will sprint from zero to 100km/h in 7.0 seconds, a tad faster than the Subaru, which requires 7.1 seconds. They both do about the same on a quarter-mile sprint. There's very little in it. I have no doubt the Mazda6 would be up to the task, but I would recommend you test-drive it and find out for yourself.
