Mazda's new flagship car will have best in class residual values when it goes on sale in July, according to CAP Network. The Mazda 6 will retain 35 per cent of its value over three years/60,000 miles.

“Mazda has clearly moved on with the Mazda 6, which is likely to be rewarded with improved residual values over the outgoing 626,” says CAP Monitor editor Jeff Knight.
