2014 Meteor Grey Diesel Touring Sedan

[blink_me192]

Hi everyone, been meaning to post this up for a while but never really got the chance. Finally got myself a new 6, ended up going with the diesel because of the torque and the fuel economy. Its been a great car, but having driven a lot of the previous mazda products, you can tell that its been softened up a lot compared to the original 6. Heck, even the CX9 feels like a sportier drive. But oh well, can't have everything, and for my trip to work everyday, the 6 is just about right.

I'll put up some pictures when i get a chance

If anyone has any questions re: the 2.2L SkyActiv Diesel, feel free to ask!

Did the 17" wheels come with it or did you swap the 19" ones for them?

Note - I like the 17" wheels.

Blink...curious where you are located to have access to the diesel variant? Are you in Australia?

I will be picking my new 6 diesel in reflex blue in 2 days time.......can't wait

My guess is Aus.
Right-hand drive and to sunny to be the UK

Mr. Mojo - The 17" wheels came with the car. Haha I actually want to swap these for the 19"s

Mazda Virgin - Yeah I'm in Australia. When i was looking, my colour preferences were Soul Red, Meteor Grey and Black. Ended up going with Meteor Grey which I'm happy with. Soul Red would have been nice tho

Chaos System - Yup In aus!

Im getting 6.1L/100km average on my current tank, which is not too bad. I wish i would have tested out the petrol version as well, but i was a bit impatient when buying, and i sort of new what i wanted to get anyway so i didn't bother testing anything else for comparison.

The only car that i did test was the Focus ST

Blink - check out my post on the Picture sub-forum.
Have had it for less than 12 hours and testing it out....not as zoom zoom as my other half's 09 Mazda 3 SP35 but it's not bad.
will be taking a 3 hour drive on the highway in a few days time so will see what the avg fuel consumption is like. Currently 7.3l/100km but it has only done 80kms.
