The turning circle compared to other Mazda models
In the great pantheon of Mazda, the 6 holds its head high, its turning circle a herald of its midsize majesty. When cast against the likes of the nimble Mazda 2 and the Mazda MX-5, both with a balletic 10.20m and 10.40m respectively, the Mazda 6's 11.20m might seem less agile. But, consider the stage it dances on – a larger dimension where grace meets utility. This is not the cramped theater of the urban runabout; this is the grand opera of the open road, where the Mazda 6 performs a symphony of swift lane changes and elegant parking maneuvers.

How does the turning circle of the Mazda 6 compare to it's nearest competitors?
But what of the ensemble cast of rivals, those automotive thespians vying for the spotlight? Here, the Mazda 6 finds itself in a spirited tango with the likes of the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the Ford Mustang, cars that know a thing or two about carving corners. With the Giulia pirouetting at 11.60m, Mazda’s maestro is more adept in tight spaces, out-dancing its Italian counterpart with ease. The Mustang, a brute in a bowtie, flexes a 12.20m arc, making the Mazda 6 seem like a dancer among clodhoppers. Even within the melodrama of midsize movement, where the akin BMW 5er-Reihe and the Hyundai Genesis hover around 11.30m and 11.40m respectively, our protagonist performs with a poise that is both noteworthy and laudable.
