This car is 18 years old and has been in our family since 2008. 110,000 miles later its just as good, comfy and quite quiet inside while still having good performance. As it's an old car running costs aren't great but it will get over 400 miles on a tank easily. Passed its latest MOT with only a couple of advisories and drives just as well as it did 18 years ago. Overall a great, reliable family car.

I bought a used new shape 2013 in 2018 for €13500. Within 6 months had to spend €1400 on new brake pads, discs and calipers. They seized causing hand brake to be useless and over heating discs and severe brake fade. Turbo failed causing low power issue that was €800 to get turbo reconditioned. Timing chain failure and camshaft failed. At this point I got rid of the car at this point for €3000. Avoid this car at all costs, it's a pleasure to drive, it look great but it will ruin you, and it will even feel OK on a test drive so be very very careful if you want one.

Good all round car, with excellent reliability and great fuel economy. No breakdowns in 4yrs and only one minor repare to correct (reporgramme) a faulty window winder switch. 40mpg for a petrol engine large estate is outstanding especially as most journeys are local. Performance is good but not outstanding provided you use the geabox as needed.

Bought this car 1 day ago so cannot give ratings except to say it was a 94 mile drive home and it went very well. The car was clean both inside and out and so was the engine, under bonnet and boot.

I bought the car yesterday so cannot possibly comment on most of your rating subjects. As your system will not let me submit the review without a rating I have added a nominal one star. It has the looks, spec and practicality I was looking for so I am hopeful that it is at least as good as my last car .... also a Mazda 6. I bought the car from Holdcroft at Stoke on Trent and I would recommend them unreservedly. They were very helpful and courteous ... and the price was right.

I have been very happy with my Mazda over the last two years although the fuel consumption could be better than the 36mpg I currently get.

Great car, plenty of leg room for all passengers. Bose stereo, heated seats, dual zone climate control etc. Would be nice if it had been available in a broader range of colours, and would like a sunroof. Used to be very economical - 55 mpg, but has never been the same since it was serviced. Though this is typical of all cars I've had! Now only 48 mpg.

Excellently engineered, styling remains attractive even though now 6 years old. Excellent comfort and handling, engine quiet and responsive. Minor niggles are hard plastics in cabin and rain water runs into boot when hatchback lifted.
