I agree "makkmartono", the new 6 is a lovely car. I've test driven twice and I was very impressed. However, I no longer need a family car and will probably down size when the time comes. Some time off yet, so you will have to put up with me on this forum until then.
My comment about the Nissan Qashqai was aimed at "oldman" whose wife did not want another Mazda and I assumed that they wanted a family car. It has good reports.

Yes I know that Oldman was the recipient:) I did not need a family car until this year and it is purely awesome. But even for me and the Mrs only I would still buy it.
I used to have a 3 sport. Great car!

update:
my car has always been serviced by mazda dealers, so i have to trust they use correct parts & oil at all times.  I have no means to say they do or do not and doubt many do.

garage has fixed the issue:
oil pickup sieve was blocked up causing starvation of oil - not good.

sounds like she should and drives like she should as well - now to decide to keep or not as nobody knows how long will stay healthy for as some damage may have been done but no idea how much.

lesson - any light STOP!
