Mazda Xedos 6 2.0i V6 SE 4d (1996/N) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
A bit of a following and a preium on the best ones, but a good used buy. Terrible insurance though - group 16!
Costs
High insurance. Dealers were into milking until the new 6 came out. V6 not too thirsty.

On the road
Driving
Good feedback on standard rims and tyres. View out very good and car inspires confidence. You and car purr.
Performance
Smile-inducing, much faster than many people believe and the car overtakes well.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts every time, but got stranded in Cornwall due to lack of parts when a manhole cover flipped up and damaged the suspension.
Image
It's got curvey and people do not know what's under the bonnet. However, my old man thought that only drug dealers drove them round here!
Comfort
Engine purrs, pace brisk, leather seats and controls nice. Pedals ofset, hmmm and tall people moan in the back. But, well, let them suffer! I am having fun.

Security and Service
Security
It's still on the drive, which is a good thing round here. However, it does have an extra alarm fitted.
Service
Very expensive and they did not notice that the front spring recall had not been done on the car.
