Based on one of the most popular Mazda models in history, the Mazda6 Estate puts a different spin on this iconic design. The Mazda6 Estate was launched on the back of the success of the saloon version and has proved a big hit with both private owners and company car drivers. It has a streamlined body and smooth curves that make the Mazda6 Estate stand-out in a class that also includes Ford Mondeo Estate and the Peugeot 407 SW. Indeed the Mazda6 Estate is also notable for its performance levels. However, as the Mazda6 Estate has a range of petrol engines and low-emission diesel engines to choose from you don’t need to sacrifice economy.

Severe corrosion on back wheel arches. Mazda agree it is a perforation paint problem, but will not repair under warranty as the car did not have its annual paint inspection last year.

Great car for long journeys. Loads of room - great for holidays. Great value for money. Only had 2 problems with it: seat buckle broke and oil cooler faulty; all under warranty - no fee - yaaa!

Mazda 6 Estate 2.0ts Unleaded 2007

5 star review

Mazda really do live up to the slogan of ZoomZoom - I’m a proud owner of a twin exhaust 2.0 147BHP petrol TS Estate. This car does not once feel like an estate car and on many occasions I have commented on being in a sporty hatchback. Comfort is superb with great driving positioning and tilt and pull steering action. Height adjustable seats with Lumber support. My only negative is the headrest are only height adjustable and not tilt adjustable to support neck or shoulders on a long journey. Load space and capacity is more than needed with under boot storage compartments great handles to drop seats without huffing and puffing. Excellent leg room and head room in rear for three adults. Specification various through the ranges of S TS TS2 and Sport I opted for the TS as this had everything required from climate control to Sterring mounted controls all round electrics Cruise control. Closing statement. The Mazda 6 Estate is a versatile car more than able to carry the whole family and the Big Dog with great ease. Very Comfortable and great ride. Wind noise is not intrusive neither is road noise. The gear change is easy close but solid. No blind spots like found on many other estates. This car believes it is something smaller than what it actually is with superb road handling the Mazda 6 is not shy to being put through its paces and throwing into corners. You can handle this car with great confidence knowing that the car will not put you in danger.

Mazda 6 Estate 2.0 119 S 5dr 2006

5 star review

Can’ think of anything bad to say about this car! Cheap to buy and run but doesn’t look cheap by any means. Masses of space. Nifty lever to lower rear seats for yet more luggage space (very handy for trips to B&Q) excellent drivers position and extremely comfortable for passenger. Brilliant car and absolute bargain for the money.
