"Premium Mazda6

What makes the Mazda 6 a premium motor? Deep comfortable full leather seats, Bose 6-cd..."


...but maybe it's a UK spec thing mainly.

Am on my second diesel Octavia a 02 and now I'm driving a 07. Haven't had one bit of bother with either of them. Look at how many of them are on Taxi ranks...A hell of a lot more than Mazda 6's...

Let us know when the door is stuck closed, it is quite a common problem, not good for taxis. look on Skodas Briskoda website

What decided it for you Davey ? Any big difference in CO2 emissions ?

The Octavia is due NCT this year ? 35 bhp difference with a 6th gear with the Mazda .

Happy motoring

it just came down to the concern over the dpf, and of course the 2k price difference.

i'm happy enough, though not when i see a lovely looking m6 passing by me on the motorway!

2) Skoda Octavia 2006 1.9 105hp €9500

mileage around 55k miles

Good call. Type "Mazda 6 diesel" into Google and see what pops up in the autosuggest box...

The only problem I've had since I bought an Octavia has been fighting off the women.

Yep, if you could get them with leather Upholstery I'd buy one myself.

There is a Mazda 6 1.8 se petrol available with full leather. I saw a new one in local dealer only yesterday.

Looks like it, in a sort of lilac metallic a 4 door, full leather, cruise, privacy glass in the rear etc. all the bells & whistles. Don't know what the price was though.
