Mazda 6 TS2 2.0 141

Couldn't ask for a better car owned 02 2.0 ts2 from new and passed every mot except xenon dulb unfortunatly £60 a bulb but thats all I've spent appart from maintaining.

I have had this car from new, loved every minute, so much so the new Mazda 6 is on order to replace this one, can't wait to move onto the next generation.

Excellent all round car except for lights- see above. Heads passable if re-fitted with high wattage bulbs but even with such bulbs in the dipped lights the light output is poor, very poor illumination- probably due to frosted glass and small lights.

Would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to improve the lights especially the dipped beam. Can xenon kits be retrofitted?

My Mazda 6 TS2 2.0 141 is a Jun 05 model - has done 70,000 miles and no problems so far. I bought it at 58000 miles and did some research on reliability. I have found no bad comments to date. The road holding is superb, it has got me out of scrapes. Enjoy that wonderful BOSE 7 speaker 6 x CD surround sound system. It is a really fantastic car and much better than the 307 HDI I had before.

You feel safe in it, with traction control, ABS, Air con etc, it is really good value for money. Well done Mazda.

I am due a new tyre soon - They are a common size - so about £45 each for Dunlop and £70 for Michelin each.

I note that the upgraded 136 model from late 05 has changed little on the outside - if it ain't broken don't try and fix it.

A word about the estate though: the one catch lever for the rear seats is absolutely fabulous.

I've owned my Mazda6 TS2 Estate (141) petrol for just a year now. During that time I've covered some 14,000+ miles, with no breakdowns, no problems and no irritations. I love the car, and will definitely be getting another 6 before long. The car is a joy to look at, sit in, drive or be driven in. The interior more than matches that of its more expensive rivals, and the seats are particularly comfortable, even over 500-700 mile journeys.

Mazda have created a winner with this elegant, sporty, roomy, classy, well-priced car.

Well done Mazda!
