I nearly bought one in 2007. It was between a Mazda 6 and a Pulsar. In the end, I went with the Pulsar because it was $2k cheaper, and all other things about the cars were pretty equal.
My life circumstances changed over the next decade (had a family), and the Pulsar was a bit small for us by the end. I ended up wishing I’d gone with the Mazda.
I can say positive things about Korean diesels.
Mazda service charged me 2.5k for a diesel fuel system test that never found a fault. They ultimately found the fault by finally taking my suggestion and plugging in a multi-meter and finding a short. they still charged me the 2.5k. theres a particular word that comes to mind, and it rhymes with runts.
thank Christ. Still, find yourself a good mechanic. Dont take it to mazda for anything they are useless. Also there is a carplay upgrade you can do if its the current gen and doesnt already have it. LOL, wait, you didnt buy it from Hamish did you?
Yeaaaaah nah, not worth it unless you’re making serious coin. And sadly I don’t think a Corolla will last just a while…I think your stuck with it till the heat death of the universe. They don’t die.
Going to get my car key!!!
Edit:
I am so excited for you!
what did you get?
Good old corolla lol
Yessssss!!! 👍
Corollas are great…but isn’t that a Mazda key?
I’m so fucking dumb lol
It’s a Mazda 6. I got them confused because I was looking at a corolla as well 😑
now patiently waiting for stories where you’re in the carpark, standing in front of a random corolla wondering why nothing’s beeping heh.
It won’t be long man lol
Maybe I’ll get an airtag 🤔
Mazda 6 is solid as. Nice and comfy, with enough guts to overtake people that like to do 20 under on the freeway.
Enjoy your ride mate :)

I think you made the right choice.
SOME of them are. I have a lot of thoughts about the diesels.
I’m not a huge fan of smallish diesel cars, unless they’re European cars.
Mazdas overall are solid cars, quality and reliability wise.

Not a diesel is it?!
Nah it’s not. Only 2 previous owners as well which is nice.

Man that upgrade is fucking awesome!!! I was going to buy a reverse camera and screen anyway. Even better if it comes with all the extra stuff.
And nah, not Hamish :)
smart choice! Everyone loves to bag them, but never heard a complaint from someone who actually owns one. only know people who regret selling them.
I reckon it should last a while. Work had the novated lease thing, but fuck that.

🤣🤣🤣
You’re right, you need to be near the ceiling of your possible salary before doing novation.
Or you drive serious km. It’s designed for people who need a car for their job.
HELLL YEAAAAAAAHHHH
Yay! That’s awesome!
Seems like a really nice car if it’s anything to base off the previous models.
So cool. 😎
