Sold, for a Mazda 6

junkan · 1st October 2008, 18:05

Changed mine after 5 months and 6500miles for a Mazda 6.
I'm very very happy now.

The loss around £1600 is ok.

For most people the buying of a car is the second most expensive item behind a house, but you don't move house every six months. The solicitors would be happy though.

Mazda 6 is an o.k car - and bigger than the civic
take it you needed the bigger car

Dimplyred · 1st October 2008, 18:25

Good luck with the new car.

Wheelchair · 1st October 2008, 18:26

Hope you enjoy your new motor, they are nice cars too. I nearly bought one myself!

Unfortunately not, Civic suited my need very well but the quality was too low. It didn't meet my expectations.

I tried the new Accord before the decision, a very good car too but no hatch and very expensive.

the Mazda is a great car

Yes and what a difference, but Accord is also built in Japan again and feels even better but unfortunately very expensive and small.

Wheelchair · 5th October 2008, 19:08

What spec Mazda 6 did you go for?

Mr JP · 5th October 2008, 19:16

Is it the new facelifted one because if so, I love it and you have made a great choice, I'm just waiting for the new MPS to try that for size.

czechplastik · 5th October 2008, 19:45

The new 6 is very handsome indeed a real head turner. The MPS version should be a corker

junkan · 5th October 2008, 19:45

Yes its the all-new version.
Lilac silver 2.0 Hatchback with 147bhp petrol and 5-speed automatic.
The only thing I can complain about is that the interior could have a little less hard plastic material but I guess that will come on the face-lift 2011 he he...

Looks like this, the big picture makes the colour look best but its a 4-door.

Wheelchair · 5th October 2008, 19:53

Looks very nice too!

junkan · 5th October 2008, 20:02

Thanks!

this is pictures of my traded civic:

Mr JP · 5th October 2008, 20:06

The mazda is an improvement on your civic IMO, the new 6 is very nice and looks almost like it belongs to the upper-class market. It's also has no horrid grey plastic unlike the civic which resembles a tonker-toy.

HappyMan · 5th October 2008, 20:07

Well. sad to hear you had to trade in your civic. BUT congrats on the new car. I love the new Mazda 6. It's a great car and a serious contender for my next car ( in 5 years )

I agree on the grey plastic, they should all look like type-R instead.

It's great to drive too, I took a small road with lots of bends today, it's amazing that such a big car could be fun to drive on that type of roads, and fast!
