Introduction
I am not a big Mazda lover, but 2017 Mazda6 Grand Touring made me change my mind. I wasn’t disappointed as I chose to focus on the positives, and there were many to consider. The white-grey Nappa high-end leather seats are simply phenomenal. The leather design extends to the lines across the dashboard and on the door panels.
I must say that the complete exterior design is stunning.
