Thoughts on the new defender?

I had a 2002 Corolla 121 and still have a 2008 Yaris. The Yaris is sort of fun to chuck into corners but ridiculously under powered. The 121 was just a reasonably comfortable car to get from point A to B. (mine was an automatic btw). If you enjoy driving, I think you're better off avoiding them both.

Haha been going to the garage far too many times today

Hey guys I finally found a car! And a red one at that!

Actually laughed out loud reading this!

I think it is actually a rarity. I don't think any of the Mazda 6 owners who have good cars are interested in selling them . I saw a red one on Marine drive today (looked like a 2014 or earlier 2.5L) and it looked absolutely fantastic!

Yeah it's the white one. And I think you're right. The car does look a bit tired. The owner wasn't exactly a car guy. I remember looking at the headliner and thinking how the hell does somebody get the headliner dirty of all things ? Ah yes, I saw the blue one. Seems to be ok but it's in Kandy and it's a little hard to find time to go all that way The owner is willing to let it go at a lower price but it needs new tires which are probably gonna cost over 200k. I dunno I think white looks pretty nice on that car but that's subjective. Generally red is the preferred colour I guess. There was a tiny bit of wear on the steering wheel. This one has the electric parking brake. The interior is in generally good condition (except for the headliner). I was hoping to find the red one but there aren't any good ones for sale. The one on sale on i.k.m.a.n has been repaired and it's been done badly. Anyway thanks for your advice guys! I'm still on the fence about it. Will give you an update if anything happens ?

So guys I'm looking at a white 2015 Mazda 6. The 2.5l version. Has about 60k km on the clock. If you've been on ###### lately you've probably seen it. Its had the front and rear bumper and left fender painted (but done well). There are some minor imperfections with panel gaps on the front. Scratches on the number plate indicate a collision of some sorts but doesn't seem to have caused any structural damage. I went to look at it with a friend of mine who said the car was good but he has no idea about prices here in Sri Lanka (he works abroad). According to him, the only things that i'll need to address are the tires (which are really bad) and possibly the hub bearings. The owner did give me a price but what do you guys think would be a fair price for the car?

As far as I know, it's always safer for the engine to use a higher octane fuel. But then again, I've heard rumours of 92 and 95 being mixed and sold as 95

Got a good offer for the old one so I had to let it go On the other hand, I found a couple of red Mazda 6's but both were badly cared for by their old owners. Still on the hunt!

The swift sport looks nicer but since I am looking to buy one only till I find a 6, the toyota might be easier to sell when the time comes?

Vitz RS sounds like its worth looking at.. thanks iRage!

Hey everyone.. I recently sold my old car and I've been looking for a 2013-2014 mazda 6 (preferably in that tasty red). I have however had no luck finding one so far and I figured I'll just get something for the time being. I don't really want to go back to driving an econobox and I can't think of anything that's fun to drive and (hopefully) easy to sell other than the swift rs. Hoping you guys could give me some more suggestions? My budget is around 4 - 4.2 mil for the "until I find a mazda" ride.

How much did you end up selling it for?
