A ggod looking wagon no doubt. Probably the best looker in its class. But if i was in this market, hands down the best wagon going around (bit ugly) would have to be the Skoda Superb. DSG gearbox, some great Audi / VW engines and certainly more space.

I would like to see a Mazda6 Classic Manual Diesel Hatch.
The current diesel hatch is expensive.

Come on Mazda how about a nice 6 speed auto to compliment that sweet Turbo diesel. The Euro’s ans Koreans can match an Auto with a Diesel.

The 6 speed auto from the wide-bodied Mazda6 sedans in the US with the ford/ Lincoln 3.7 V6 must come close to the ZF

Rear vision goes to the 1998 AU update, easily. You forgot that.

You forgot that Australia is much better endowed with LPG as compared to diesel.

Fuel security goes to the Taxi!

Seriously nice looking wagon the Mazda, I’d love it with my the ZF in my ‘taxi’. An FG XR6 wagon with next year’s LPG updates, even better… oh, it’s only Mondeos or BF3′s? Score another for the Mazda!

If you’re talking about good cars then no sorry. I’m sure its nice to look at and the quality is good but I couldn’t buy one simply because of the way it drives (eg not well). Sorry!

Rivals – Skoda Octavia TDI Combi (2.0TDI if you want more value or the RS TDI if you want more sportiness or the Scout – give me the RS), Ford Mondeo wagon (the diesel is soon apparently), and maybe the Subaru Outback Diesel (until the Liberty Diesel arrives anyway) but with a face and interior plastics like that it’s just not worth it!

Can’t wait for the Mazda3 2.2!

Reading tests in the UK, its 7.9 sec to 100km/h in the top spec one.

Though I can’t help but get this feeling we’re gonna get screwed on the specs. Either we won’t get the top one or it’ll be $39,990 or something stupid like that.

Golly, a tough task, but I’ll give it a go. Let’s see…the lovely grey vinyl seats are a stand-out, as is the vertically mounted spare wheel with vinyl cover. The semi-elliptical rear springs will make it better for towing and everything aft of the windscreen is interchangeable with a 1998 AU Forte, except for the Navman suckered half way up the windscreen directly in the driver’s line of sight. I think I’ll stop there. The Mazda is obviously beaten.
