Why should I also consider these?

Looking at these competitors, there's not a bad choice here.

Compared to the 2009 Mazda6, the Toyota Camry rides more softly.

It is the "Buick" of this group.

The Honda Accord and Nissan Altima are close to the Mazda6 dynamically, but the Mazda is sportier still than the Accord (especially inside), and you must like continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) to fall in love with the Altima.

Hyundai's Sonata is a solid choice backed by a long warranty, while the Chevrolet Malibu continues to win over buyers with its styling and technology (Chevy offers a Hybrid model and a six-speed automatic with their four-cylinder).
