      now patiently waiting for stories where you’re in the carpark, standing in front of a random corolla wondering why nothing’s beeping heh.

          thank Christ. Still, find yourself a good mechanic. Dont take it to mazda for anything they are useless. Also there is a carplay upgrade you can do if its the current gen and doesnt already have it. LOL, wait, you didnt buy it from Hamish did you?

            Man that upgrade is fucking awesome!!! I was going to buy a reverse camera and screen anyway. Even better if it comes with all the extra stuff.

            And nah, not Hamish :)

      Mazda 6 is solid as. Nice and comfy, with enough guts to overtake people that like to do 20 under on the freeway.

      Enjoy your ride mate :)

        I nearly bought one in 2007. It was between a Mazda 6 and a Pulsar. In the end, I went with the Pulsar because it was $2k cheaper, and all other things about the cars were pretty equal.

        My life circumstances changed over the next decade (had a family), and the Pulsar was a bit small for us by the end. I ended up wishing I’d gone with the Mazda.

        I think you made the right choice.

          I’m not a huge fan of smallish diesel cars, unless they’re European cars.

          Mazdas overall are solid cars, quality and reliability wise.

            I can say positive things about Korean diesels. Mazda service charged me 2.5k for a diesel fuel system test that never found a fault. They ultimately found the fault by finally taking my suggestion and plugging in a multi-meter and finding a short. they still charged me the 2.5k. theres a particular word that comes to mind, and it rhymes with runts.
