Mazda 6 2013: High fuel consumption
It’s a little higher than I would expect. It should be around 8.7 L/100 km in city driving and 5.3 on a country run. It would be worth having it checked by a mechanic or dealer to see if there is something amiss with it. It’s hard to say what the suspension noise might be, without actually hearing it I would only be guessing. Have a suspension specialist check it for you.

Mazda 6 2013: Problems with DPF
We understand Mazda released a revised engine oil dipstick with a higher full mark. It also released revised software for the dpf operation that changed the way the self-cleaning function took place. If you haven’t got those updates I would be approaching Mazda to get your car updated.

Best used wagon?
The i40 is a good choice; it ticks most of the boxes. It’s well equipped, well built, reliable and durable. You could also look at wagons like the VW Passat, Ford Mondeo and Mazda 6, but it’s hard to go past the i40.
