Before the arrival of the 6 model, Mazda featured on few shopping lists when it came to buying a medium sized family hatchback - least of all amongst fleet buyers. However the sharp looks, spacious cabin and excellent chassis make the Mazda 6 a very attractive package in this highly competitive sector and many buyers are keen to move away from the traditional choice of a Mondeo or Vauxhall Vectra. It's actually quite a sporty choice with strong engines (particularly the 143bhp 2.0 diesel) and sharp handling that rewards the enthusiastic driver. Refinement is excellent for eating up the motorway miles and the well laid out cabin is comfortable and well-equipped with good specification. Reliability and residuals make it a good investment - and AutoeBid has some stunning discounts available in the reverse auction: you can expect savings of up to £4000 on the top models.
