How to have a better 6 life

摘要

Can the rapid yet frugal new Mazda 6 diesel prove as satisfying to live with as a Mondeo or an Insignia? I'D ALWAYS SUSPECTED the Mazda 6 would be one of those cars that's likely to improve with prolonged acquaintance. And now, as keeper of our new 2.2D Sport, I'm going to have a chance to find out over the next year. For straight showroom appeal, the 6 is shaded by the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia. But its handsome design, solid construction and unpretentious image all have undeniable appeal. On top of that, the 2.2-litre diesel that powers the range-topping Sport is one of the punchiest and most economical in the segment.
