Mazda 6 Hatchback (2007 - 2012) 2.0 TS 5d (2008/58) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Probably that I have a family, although I like to think it's not boring. Looks really good and stands out on the road even though it's a very popular car.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all really like it. Ironically, I went for the Galaxy Grey which I love, but my wife calls the colour boring. Go figure.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes but I might got for the diesel model (assuming they have sorted out the shocking DPF issues that my old one and many others were plagued with).

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably the Mazda 6 mk 3 if this one is reliable.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£6,495

When did you buy the car?

December 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, got a good trade in on my old car and a fair price on this one.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Had a mazda 6 old mark 1 and really liked it.

What was the dealer like?

Really helpful, car presented really well when I picked it up.

What's it like to drive?

To be honest slightly more sluggish than I'm used to (my old car was the 2 litre diesel, so had a turbo). The pull in the lower gears of this petrol model is definitley lacking.

What's it like to park?

Fine so far, no issues.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only had it for about 3 weeks, nothing wrong with it yet. It has full Mazda dealer service history, so encouraged by that.

What's most practical about your car?

The boot is huge.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The stereo looks and sounds good, nice to see MP3 compatibility even in the TS trim model.Cruise control easier to control than old model too.
