A year with a Mazda 6 – The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

After a year of ownership, I review the Mazda 6 (2016).
My previous video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrmkcBGpK7M
Here’s a summary:
—Good—
The power. Sounds good.
The looks. Inside and out.
Comfortable. Practical.
So far, extremely reliable.
Gadgets. Blind spot detection, reversing camera, hud, electronic parking brake, start stop, etc.

—Bad—
Infotainment screen delamination.
Auto-locking.
Driver’s heated seat.
GPS.
Window demisting.

–Ugly—
Colour. Wish I’d got red.
Cost of official service.
Infotainment clunkier than the cool ‘knob’ suggests.
Bass rumble in doors.
Road noise.

Extras.
I thought fuel economy was poor, but actually it’s fine and reflects my driving style.
Unlike my X-Type, this is a car that people haven’t really noticed until they’ve sat inside it.
I’m about to install apple carplay…
