Faults:

Center console touch screen was a little hesitant and slow, a dealer reset and update fixed this.

Had the brake pads renewed last time at a service.

Noise from rear suspension - will get it checked out soon.

General Comments:

This Mazda 6 looks very clean and sharp in metallic silver exterior with black cloth interior. SE Nav model is common and well equipped. It has everything you would expect from a 2015 car.

The biggest surprise was the 2.0 petrol engine - I thought this would be better over the diesels and was unsure at first, but after having it a few years I'm glad I got the petrol engine - reliable, quiet and refined, plenty of power and responsive, whilst still managing a good 45 - 50 mpg if you cruise slow. A friend has the same car with the diesel engine, and has had some issues, my petrol however has never had a problem.

The car drives very well. Easily sharper than rival cars, very fun to drive. All the interior controls have an intuitive feel. It is easy to get comfortable for me at average height and weight. Rear headroom might be a little limited for taller passengers - one of my friends is over 6 foot and has noticed being in the back of any of these cars in this class, rear headroom is always an issue. I guess this is a problem across modern cars in general - those sloping rear roof lines might look stylish, but there is obviously a trade off with space. Up front however driver and passengers of all shapes and sizes will have no issues getting comfortable, and kids will find the rear seats just fine.

Overall just a nice reliable modern car that does everything very well, and I hope to keep it a long time.
