2013 Mazda 6 SKYACTIV-G SE-L 2.0 petrol

Summary:

Good looking and nice to drive

Faults:

Other than the wear and tear expected of age and miles, basically nothing serious.

ABS sensor.

The climate control is a little hesitant to work.

Tiny rust patch on rear wheel arch; I am going to repair it before it gets worse.

General Comments:

"New" model for 2013 Mazda 6 is a very stylish and comfortable car. Mine is bright red.

I went for the 2.0 petrol engine which I was a little unsure of at first as most are diesel. But I am glad I did go for this - it is very smooth and refined and still manages around 40 mpg or more pretty easily. Good power also.

Very nice to be in, dark grey/black cloth interior has sporty seats and a comfortable position. Controls are nicely laid out, long motorway journeys are a pleasure. The SE-L model has plenty of equipment and nice alloy wheels.

Handles very well, gear-change is slick, interior is spacious.

Getting on a bit in age and miles, but still feels solid and modern, hope to keep it a long time. As with any car it should last if looked after.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
