Head-turner, Great Value | Posted on 22 Apr 2015 |

Review
Been driving my Mazda 6 Wagon since Christmas 2014. Great-looking car, absolute pleasure driving it. Price and reliability of a Japanese car with the looks and comfort of a continental car. Whether it is inside or outside, it scores highly.
The high-tech safety features come as standard for 2.5 wagon which is great value for money. Power is sufficient for most over-takings and fuel economy is great for a 2.5. Legroom/Headroom at the back and boot space are both excellent for a wagon.
I shortlisted a few cars and this car eventually top the list for one pragmatic reason - A 2.5l SkyActiv engine with excellent fuel economy.
Overall, I'm a very satisfied owner of the Mazda 6 and will highly recommend this car to anyone.
What I like
1. Exterior: Sharp & sexy looks
2. Interior: Very luxurious and comfortable, boot space is great
3. Engine: Great fuel economy with the SkyActiv Engine, i-Stop (engine cuts off during idling), i-Eloop
4. Drive: Excellent handling and power
5. Safety: 5-star Euro NCAP, 6 airbags, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning
6. TomTom Navigation system as standard
What I do not like
1. Suspension a little stiff
2. Noise insulation can be better
3. 19" rims mean tyres can be very expensive
Brilliant Wagon, even better than the Sedan | Posted on 08 Mar 2015 |

For looks and drivability, Mazda 6 Wagon is ahead of its peers. For the interior, i give it a 4 stars as this is the current bugbear for me (the new Facelift gonna change it all)
The drive is still engaging (I own a 1st Gen Mz6 and has driven the 2nd Gen and the 3rd Gen sedan) and the wagon handles better than the sedan.
The engine begs you to rev it and you are rewarded with a satisfying sporty exhaust as you do so. And it's the fastest among its peers.
While it's true that the legroom is not the best in its class, it's more than sufficient, and the sports seas are comfortable and hugging. BTW, buying a Mazda is about driving the car, not to be driven in one. Boot size while not the biggest but it is bigger and more versatile than the wagon.
In short, apart from the gorgeous look, the 6 Wagon offers a good drive and good comfort level. Very much looking forward to the facelift wagon
What I like
1. Exterior Looks
2. Classy Cabin
3. Handling
4. Power
5. Fuel Consumption (owners are claiming 12-13km/l for the 2.5ltr)
6. Sufficient legroom
7. Comfy seat
What I do not like
1. The ugly 5.8" screen (all that will change with the facelift)
2. Boot size could be bigger (a tyre repair kit would be better for this country)

Review
Managed to test drive the Mazda 6 Wagon during the MCF Mazda event. The outlook of the car is what attracts me to driving a wagon. The nice flowing lines and its size. However the space inside of the car was a let down. Boot space was much smaller than other similar wagon(i40), rear passenger leg room also lacking.
During the test drive, the handling of the car was great. However the engine is not lively. There is some delay when accelerator was depressed, rpm rising but speed did not go up as fast.
Overall it is a good car but not for me. Mainly due to interior space and engine performance. Also not liking to turn off i-stop every time I drive. If there is a feature to turn off i-stop permanently, that would be great.
What I like
Exterior outlook
Dashboard
Head unit
Quiet interior while driving
Keyless start stop
What I do not like
Lack of boot space compared with similar wagon car(i40). Lack of depth.
Lack of rear passenger leg room
i-stop
Engine performance
Center hand rest storage small, also no two tier
Glove compartment small
No auto tailgate

Handsome looking wagon. Really looks nice exterior and looks really spacious. But actually not really spacious.
What I like
Handsome Exterior, nice interior that looks and feels premium. It's those wagon that looks really nice, like a Merc C wagon. Looks ( I really mean LOOKS LIKE) like it can fit lots of stuff.
What I do not like
-Boot space is small for a wagon.. Anyone driven or knows one will know what I mean. The 18" almost full size spare tyre has taken so much space, which in my 2 cent opinion is really really silly. Why not have a tyre repair kit like what they do with the RX8?
- no auto tailgate. Not a necessity but good to have. Most car have it anyway.
- the dashboard is too tall so vision is not really good.
-pricing is more ex than saloon.. Don't have to penalize clients who prefer wagon.
-better job should be done to better mate the gearbox to the 2.5litre NA engine. A little lack. Performance not up to par for 2.5 liters. Just get the 2 liters will do
Review
Very nicely designed car.
but very overpriced. It's more expensive than the BMW 116D. For similar range, i would rather get a inifiniti Q50.
other than the price. It's really very nice. Just not sure if it's worth the price
What I like
nice styling.
powerful engine.
great drive
What I do not like
pricing.
