Mazda 6... The sensible choice.

[c_rad]

I've owned this from November and in that time it's been nothing but faultless.

Specs.... 2014 2.2D skyactive (fancy)
All the toys you would expect with something modern.
Sat nav, Dual climate control, touch screens etc.

As with everything it doesn't stay standard for long.

Found some wheels to suit, lowered it 30mm and finally got around to putting my reg on it as well as fitting a diffuser trim also.
Plans to fit a lip kit shortly, Fit bigger exhaust tips to fill the gap on the diffuser and maybe change the wheels again and just drive away at it.

Here are the pics!

Not lowered in the last picture

Funny looking insignia vxr. Is a nice wagon though and probably perfect for your commute.

Lovely! Hard to believe that's 4 years old. They still look really fresh

Haha bit of creeping! If you see me out and about dont be afraid to dander over for a chat bud!

It's tidy enough but a few bits I want to sort... Stone chips on the rear arch being one

I'll take an interior shot tomorrow, You'll have to ignore the shabby mats lol

Lovely car, we enjoy the same engine in our CX-5 and were also looking at a Mazda 3 with that engine recently but decided to keep what we have. That generation of them look real sleek, as mentioned they age well!

Looks very smart! Funnily enough my neighbour has the next one up from your reg R28DDY

Haha! Seriously!? Brilliant, Wonder would they ever fancy selling it

 

[Odhran]

I think he’s only recently acquired it!

Cracking looking cars from the back!

 

[dave b]

[Brennan]

Very nice, something different to the norm on here

Lovely big things these and yours looks well. Did they ever do an MPS in this shape? Shame if they didn't.

I'd be wanting to get the chrome bits done the same colour as the wheels, then if you're going to change them again there's no point! Might just be me though as I despise chrome on modern cars. Some people can't get enough of it with the cars I've seen driving around with it stuck everywhere!

I went too sensible and got a granda-mobile last year for ferrying the young kid and a teen around. He'll be 3 next year so will be going for something more enjoyable to replace it.

Was considering wrapping it black as I've seen it done and looks well.. But with considering changing wheels I'm not sure if it would suit.

They didn't do an MPS in this shape but I believe in the brand new model just released there is a 2.5T available for a bit more power.

So a small update...

With the diffuser being fitted the standard pipes where lost in it. So wanted slightly bigger tips and them to sit a little more flush with the rear.

Cue a bit of a drive today to see Mark at Elite Autos and Custom Exhausts. Couldn't have been more helpful and professional, Handy paid too.

Some pics, excuse the dirt. It rained and the roads where pigging.

The kit is still in transit from Russia and iveI ordered new rear lights which will help finish the rear of the car off. All due next week hopefully!

 

[Odhran]

Passed you heading Donegal bound earlier today in Derry. You’re right it was pigging!

I really have been taken with it! I'd looked at changing but it does everything I need and more.

 

[Steve]

That's looking well!

 

[Gibonz]

Nice car, but I think non-stretched tyres would look alot better on it...

 

[andy_gdon]

Great looking wagon mate!!! HTD

When I bought the wheels the tyres where like this. Brand new albeit ditchfinders. Once winter comes they will be getting replaced with something less stretched and much better quality.

 

[roverspeed]

I like that a lot, you don't see many in white. I think the wheels really suit it too.

Just a small suggestion.............

Looks well with the new pipes bud, seen it on their Bakebook page at the weekend.

Be able to get more derv soot up the backend now
