"2014 Mazda 6 Don&amp;#039;t let the Best Family Sedan title (page 59 of Road &amp;amp;amp; Track&amp;#039;s December 2013/January 2014 issue) mislead you\u2014unlike a lot of mid-size four-doors, the new Mazda 6 is heaps of fun to drive. In a segment full of well-engineered but unremarkable transportation, Mazda has gone for extra credit: The 6 looks fantastic, handles like an oversized Miata, and can be had with a clutch pedal. In short, you don&amp;#039;t need a family to enjoy it. Quick Notes:  Tan leatherette and plenty of glass mean the interior doesn&amp;#039;t feel like a cave. The big windows\u2014rare on a modern car\u2014make it easy to see out of. Imagine that! We chose the mid-range touring, which gave us a nice touchscreen infotainment setup. Unfortunately, nav is limited to the automatic-only Grand Touring model.  Amazing handling, fab steering, the soul of an autocrosser. This car was styled, not just assembled. Unlike some sedans, the 3200-lb 6 doesn&amp;#039;t pay for its design at the scales. Sport and touring models come standard with a six-speed stick. The clutch and throttle are amazingly well calibrated, and not just for a a family sedan. Did we mention what a hoot this thing is?  All this for $24,740, including the extra-cost red paint. Affordable, sensible cars don&amp;#039;t have to be a drag.
