Mazda 6 (2013 - 2022) SkyActiv-D 150ps SE-L Nav+ (07/2018 on) 4d Owner Review

Ive owned Mazda's for years, over ten to be exact. But this one has seriously knocked the confidences i had for them. Its been a great car upto about 100k. In the last month, ive lost the turbo, oil pump, rear break calipers, timing chain needed replacing, dpf glogged up, scbs warning lights, and a fully blocked and hindered engine as a result of carbon build up. Its a real shame, as the Mazda 6 is a pretty car from any angle, and the drive (when its not in a garage) is brilliant!! I could understand having the issues ive had if id used it on small journeys in stop start traffic......but it has genuinely spent 90% of its time on the motorway as a commuter and has never missed its 12000 mile service. Im really disapointed with this new mazda 6, but in its defence, i feel the madatory DPF isntalment has made a great car....really really bad! My advice would be to buy new, enjoy a really well built lovely to drive car. But sell at the 80-90k mark before you end up having to take out a small mortgage to run it (they are not cheap to fix)
