What Car? says
For The 6 is well made, affordable and roomy. It's also sweet to drive and good-looking
Against The ride is often over-firm in town and the car can be noisy on the motorway. Hatchback is better, too.
Verdict
It does most things well and almost nothing badly, so it makes a fine second-hand buy
Go for… 1.8 TS
Avoid… 2.3 MPS
- 1. S trim is at the bottom of the range, but still has plenty of kit, including air-con and a CD player
- 2. A few owners have reported clutch failure on both diesels and petrols with fewer than 30,000 miles on the clock
- 3. The view out of the back is limited by the high bootline, making reversing tricky
- 4. The boot is a good size and the seats drop quickly at the touch of single button if you need to extend the space
- 5. Rear-seat accommodation is comfortable; three will fit across
