General Comments:

My blue Mazda 6 estate car has been a great used purchase the last few years. Large, comfortable, relatively economical, and considerably cheaper to buy than rival cars, the 6 estate is a good option for large family use.

For an estate car it handles very sharp. The 2.0 petrol engine has a healthy 153 bhp and pulls the car along just fine. Struggles a bit for 40 mpg but I prefer this engine over the diesels, I have heard they are not as reliable as the petrol units.

The car looks the part, nice alloy wheels. Quite stylish interior as well. Comfy seats and good visibility. TS model has lots of equipment.

Last of the older shape for 2012, this model is an improvement over the 2002 - 2008 car. 2009 - 2012 models looks best in my opinion. Might try the newer 2013 onwards model next, I have been impressed with this car.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
