Following on from Tom's Mazda 3 blog, I thought I'd continue the Mazda theme with details of my new company car.
I started a new job this week, and have been given a Mazda 6 Estate 2.2D (163ps) TS2 in Aurora Blue.
I didn't get any say in selecting the car - it had been picked by my predeccesor before he left - but it was delivered brand new the day before I started and so far I'm more than happy with his choice.
The spec is....
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Traction Control System (TCS)
Brake assist
Front airbags
Front and rear curtain airbags
Front side airbags
Front and rear electric windows
Electric door mirrors
Telescopic steering
Global closing
CD player with MP3 functionality
Aux connector for MP3 player
Thatcham Category 1 alarm and immobilizer
Black cloth trim
Cruise control
Trip computer with speed alarm
Dual zone climate control
Leather steering wheel and gear shift
CF-Net steering wheel controls
Additional 2 speakers (total of 6)
Welcome mode lighting
Rear centre armrest
Sliding function on centre armrest
17" alloy wheels
Auto dimming rear-view mirror
Electric folding mirrors
Automatic rain sensing front wipers
6-CD changer
Front fog lights
Integrated Bluetooth© System
Rear Vehicle Monitoring System
My first task was to dig it out of the snow, followed by a 140 mile drive home from the office in temperatures that got down to -9 deg C.
That's it so far - I'm still reading the manual and exploring its various features - but I'll post some more thoughts as time goes by.
A protection detail is also on the cards, but much as I would love to do it immediately, I guess I'm going to have to wait for the weather to improve.
First couple of pics (with the Malvern Hills in the background) ....

Andy2407's Mazda 6 Estateon Jan 09 2004 00:06
But seeing as I inherited a car, I think things could have been a lot lot worse - I'm certainly not complaining!
I am seriously thinking of swapping the mx-5 for one as they are offering the best px, but need as big a load space as a octy estate at least. None of the dealers round us have an estate in stock to actually look at
Very easy mechanism for dropping the seats down, and I think you can store the luggage tonneau cover under the false boot floor, although I haven't tried it yet.
As you say, you've done well there as you could have ended up with absolutely anything
Let me know how you get on with it - interested in mpg too.
Has it been seen at any Malthouse meets?
