Mazda 6 Hatchback 2.0d TS2 (136ps) 5d (2004/04) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Better equipped than other models of same price.
Costs
Too early to say. Private lease reimbursed by company, so costs, apart from fuel, are fixed. Not as economical as some - price to pay for extra performance, I suppose.

On the road
Driving
Firm, but not bumpy. Holds road well, particularly when cornering. Apart form load space, drive was main reason for purchase.
Performance
Generally performs well, but suffers from more turbo lag than I'd expect from a modern diesel.
-
Living with it
Reliability
OK after 3 months and 15,000 miles.
Image
Very up-to-date styling. A real head-turner for the young. For me, I would say it looks acceptable. The front looks a bit unfinished - It's a shame fog lamps are not standard across the range.
Comfort
Not as plush as some of the competition, but very comfortable on long journeys. Very important for m,e as I do over 50,000 miles a year.

Security and Service
Security
They tell me it's good, who am I to argue? Hopefully I won't need to test it.
Service
No better or worse than any other I've had experience of.
