Welcome to drive the debate

Realiability, interior comfort, stylish headlamps, fuel economy, low depreciation.

Costly dealer repairs, weak body panel behind rear doors, wont run on recycled bio fuel.

Purchased ex-fleet, I have only had one major issue in three years of ownership. 5th gear has failed twice, first repair on warranty, second on warranty guarantee. These could have cost me £1300 per repair. Servicing has been much lower cost by using local garages and also shopping around for routine brake and tyre replacement. The car can compete capably in the outside lane of the motorway and is good at long distances. My Mazda 6 however does not like bio fuel (the fully recycled diesel) where it chugged badly and took almost two months to recover. Overall I would have another, and once again ex fleet.
