Mazda6 (2013-2022) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Enjoyable to drive	Not as roomy as the Skoda Superb
One of the most reliable big family cars	Petrol engines need a lot of revs
Lots of standard equipment	No plug-in hybrid

Quick Summary

The Mazda6 (2013-2022) is a seriously good family car that's spacious, affordable, well-equipped, safe, and hardy. This third-generation model uses Mazda's own platform and engines, departing from earlier Ford Mondeo-based versions. It's brilliant to drive, borrowing characteristics from the MX-5 sports car, making it far more engaging than your average saloon or estate. Available as both a saloon and Tourer (estate), it offers a 480-litre boot in the saloon and 522-litre in the estate, though rivals like the Skoda Superb provide more rear legroom and boot space.

The Mazda6 launched with 2.0-litre petrol engines (143bhp or 163bhp) and 2.2-litre turbodiesel options (148bhp or 173bhp). The lower-powered diesel is particularly gutsy and ULEZ-exempt, achieving around 50mpg in real-world driving, whilst the petrol manages approximately 40mpg. Equipment levels are generous, with even entry-level trims featuring Bluetooth, USB charging, alloy wheels, and parking sensors. A 2016 model or later is recommended for the improved seven-inch touchscreen with rotary controller; from 2019, an eight-inch screen became standard. As a used buy, the Mazda6 represents fantastic value due to steep depreciation, offering reliability and enjoyment for less than most alternatives.

Best for: Drivers seeking an engaging, reliable, and affordable family car with excellent standard equipment and enjoyable driving dynamics.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum interior space (like a Skoda Superb), those needing plug-in hybrid options, or drivers wanting petrol engines that don't require high revs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Mazda6 if: You're seeking an engaging, reliable, and affordable family car with excellent standard equipment and enjoyable driving dynamics.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum interior space, need plug-in hybrid options, or want petrol engines that don't require high revs.

Competitive Position: The Mazda6 (2013-2022) is a strong contender in the used family car market, offering excellent value and engaging driving dynamics. Whilst rivals like the Skoda Superb provide more space and the Volkswagen Passat offers a broader engine range, the Mazda6's steep depreciation makes it an outstanding used buy. Its reliability, enjoyable handling, and generous standard equipment make it a highly sensible choice for budget-conscious buyers seeking a car that's genuinely fun to drive. It's much easier to recommend as a used purchase than new, with fantastic deals available on second-hand examples.
