====Performance====
Note: The following section is based on the Mazda 6's performance prior to the Showdown Update.
The Mazda 6's main strengths are its rapid acceleration, excellent drifting capabilities and high raw top speed. The Mazda 6's advantage over most Class D cars is its high top speed stat, even higher than the SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI.
The biggest downfall of the Mazda 6 is its poor nitro efficiency, the same as the BMW M3 Sedan. While the Mazda 6 can perform well on short tracks against similar cars, its short nitro is detrimental on long tracks like Tokyo and Azure Coast, although Extra Tanks and skill can remedy this issue.
While the Mazda 6's low rank can allow the car to be tuned for Multiplayer races, it should be noted that it will not be the best car for Multiplayer, because much like the Volkswagen Beetle Turbo and the SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI, its poor nitro efficiency puts it in direct stiff with the Renault DeZir, Range Rover Evoque Coupe HSE Dynamic and Porsche 959. The Mazda 6 only works between ranks 850~1000 as anything beyond that will put it against Audi R8 e-tron Special Editions.
