• Mazda 6 2007 Diesel - DPF regen failure/air mass sensor link? 4 Nov 2016 (Forum)

• Mondeo vs Avensis vs. Maxda 6 vs. ? 8 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Two other models I am considering are: - Toyota Avensis 2.2D T4 or TR (latter more expensive!) - Mazda 6 2.0D 143 TS2 Briefly drove an Avensis on local roads and it was okay. But bland inside and out and wife not so keen from the brochure pictures. I have drive a petrol Mazda 6 and liked it and better to look at inside and out IMHO compared to the Avensis.
• Backseats and Babies 26 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  The baby seat will fit into the back of the polo, so both adults can get in the front. There is limited room in the boot for prams etc. The baby seat will fit in the front of the mazda, so one adult (not me!) will have to get in the back. There is more room for prams etc in this car, and this is the one that we go long distances in. The polo is a shopping car and any travel with all 3 of us will only be short.

• Mazda 3 - Insurance NCB puzzle. 26 Feb 2020 (Forum)
  Is that creating a mis-match that the computer sees as two cars? But the fact that they identify it correctly as our Mazda suggests that not the issue. My wife mentioned it to the agent but again didn't get a clear response. Having already paid we don't want to pull out and possibly complicate our insurance history. Hopefully they will resolve it but meanwhile has any body any idea as to what's going on?

• Are all salesman idiots 18 Sep 2016 (Forum)
  So the list included Volvo V60 - bit too small, Leon ST - same passenger space as hatch, Ceed GDI-T - too slow, Mazda 6 - great kit, great deals but hardly any bigger than the Leon inside but 2ft longer. So added the Mazda CX5 to our list. Had a look, perfect size, great kit, good deals but as soon as you mention the "petrol" word the salesman turns stupid.
