I have a 2019 Mazda6 Estate which I bought at the end of last year, I'm really pleased with it. Mine is the Sport Nav+ with the 2.0 petrol engine, I'm lucky to frequently drive some very fast cars and while the Mazda isn't what you'd call quick, it's far from dangerously slow and can be driven reasonably swiftly.
Fuel economy is good, I've averaged 36.6mpg since purchasing it in December, a mixture of long runs and lots of short trips where it doesn't get fully up to temperature. On a long run from Hertfordshire down to Wiltshire on a sunny Sunday morning where I maintained a speed between 85 and 95, I averaged 43mpg which was impressive.
Build quality seems good, mine is only on 32k miles but there aren't any squeaks or rattles. Sometimes the infotainment system doesn't play ball, but switching off/on does the trick. Mine has the cream leather inteior which makes it feel special for what it is.
Equipment levels are high, mine isn't the top of the range but still has heated seats/steering wheel, 360 degree cameras, Bose stereo, adaptive cruise control, double glazed front windows, electric memory seats, LED lights etc.
It drives well for a large estate, I think it rides really well but I'll be the first to admit my bar of entry here is quite low
It's got a decent sized boot (500L+), but if practicality is your main priority then a Skoda Superb estate or Volvo V70/90 will have bigger boots.
There are a few differences between the 2016 and 2019 models (they were facelifted in 2018), but engines and gearboxes remained the same. My parents had a 2016 saloon in petrol automatic guise brand new for 3 years, which was faultless. The auto gearboxes while strong, are not the quickest and do blunt the performance.
Many thanks for all the replies, im not going to be doing huge milage so petrol is the way to go say.Fuel economy is good, I've averaged 36.6mpg since purchasing it in December, a mixture of long runs and lots of short trips where it doesn't get fully up to temperature.

It is a good looking car ,
As long as I can get a couple of bikes in the back with the seats down ,
I'm driving a very tired 20yr old combo diesel van at the mo so refinement won't be an issue,
And my entertainment is limited as the grandson jammed the cassette player, and I'm stuck on AM on the radio.
If I want a spirited drive I will get the carrera out. Although with the traffic and the state of the roads around here that's not very often, im very odd I prefer my van that I've had for 20 odd yrs .
