Mazda 6 Hatchback 2.2D 163 TS2 5dr

For Like every diesel 6, this model has better residuals than the petrol cars. We prefer this engine to the less powerful diesel, as it has more overtaking punch. TS2 comes with some real luxuries, such as automatic wipers, larger alloys, a CD-changer and an integrated Bluetooth system.

Against Price is the biggest problem: this engine costs much more than the equivalent petrol car, while it's also more than the 123bhp engine. There’s quite a premium for TS2 trim over TS.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

This is our favourite diesel engine in the range, with a good jump in performance over the 123bhp engine, but no penalty in fuel economy. Company users will love this model.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Mazda 6 is a very appealing family car choice. Although it's not quite as refined or classy as a Ford Mondeo, most versions are significantly cheaper, and few rivals can match the Mazda 6 for style or long-term reliability.

We reckon the cheaper models are the pick of the range - they supply plenty of kit and power, but keep ownership costs incredibly low.

Venture higher up the range and you get plenty of kit, but you lose out on the Mazda 6's value-for-money appeal, and the 2.5-litre petrol engine has a bit of a thirst.

Some of the interior trim is rather hard and plasticky, but this is a well-built car and our reliability and customer satisfaction surveys suggest that owners are a happy bunch and unlikely to be troubled by many reliability worries.
