Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 No no no no.... Dont anybody get a Mazda6, they are shite, i was talking bollocks earlier in the thred... deluded, thats it! Take it from me, steer well clear of them Mazda 6's... (Till i get mine!!) What sort of year and model you looking at Bosun? You heard much about their reliability and repair costs?I've looked at the Mazda 6 Estate myself, the 2.2 top spec, you got a lot of toys for your money. Leather, Sat Nav, Bluetooth you name it. And at 170 horses should have a bit of poke. I just haven't heard much about them, good or bad. Looking for a 61 or less Gaz, a 2.2 TD, full speck would be the ideal as i want to get over to the continent.As far as reliability goes, from what i gather its no different than a Ford, which it really is. But as i said earlier, you get a lot of car for your dollar and it looks a damn sight better than others in its class. I like the sound of them. Definitely smart looking motors and plenty of space.

Nicepix 5,650 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Here in France you only pay to register a car you've bought. We paid around €250 - €280 when we bought our vehicles then that's it. You don't pay any annual road tax. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
