Mazda CX-60 SUV 3.3d 254 Homura 5dr Auto AWD Owner Review

love the engine, the smoothness, torque, acceleration and 6 cylinder noise. Where I live we have mainly single tracked, fairly bumpy roads. Where the road is patched and broken the ride is pretty rough and I'm not keen on the rattles that are developing with the miles. Over the moorland the roads are quite wallowy causing the front end to go light, and sometimes airborne at faster speeds over the humps. This is enough to make everything in the back of the car like shopping leap up and crash down, including passengers. I was told I should see 55mpg by the Mazda salesman but I am averaging 43.5 mpg long term, largely for short distance, stop go journeys. I'm not happy paying £ 600 to tax the car either. Brakes and steering are good. Automatic gearbox can be clunky at lower speeds. Front door panels are too thin and make a warping sound if they push back on the door stops. Lane assist can be a bit "strong willed", tussling with me when I change lane without signalling! High bonnet can make cresting blind summits a bit more challenging. Good headlights. Good looks.
Overall, I wanted a more interesting car, that I would enjoy driving and owning. Something involving, that would keep me awake on long journeys. And that's where the Mazda CX-60 is at its best. I look forward to every long trip
