Mazda 6 2016
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Tim Robson had this to say at the time: Mazda has the job ahead of it to convince a premium badge hunter to cast an eye over in its direction – but that's not the fault of the Mazda6, which is rammed full of drivetrain and safety spec not always attainable in premium marques for sometimes twice the price.

Mazda 6 2016 Q&As

Best car for a sales rep?
I would question the Renault if you're doing lots of kays in then country. I'm sure it would be reliable, but having it serviced when you need to could be an issue if you're away from a main city. The Kia is a good choice, so too are the Mazdas. You could add the Honda Accord, Subaru Liberty and Suzuki Kizashi to your list.

Recommendations for a new station wagon
You are choosing from a good line-up as all three of your contenders get The Tick from me. My personal ranking puts the Passat ahead of the Outback but there is no reason not to go ahead with the Subaru.

Mid-size hatch to replace i30?
You don’t say what makes it hard to get in and out for you, so I’m taking a stab in the dark. There are a couple of possibilities, one being that the doors are too short and don't open wide enough, another is that it’s too low. A move to a mid-size hatch like a Mazda6, Honda Accord or Subaru Liberty would probably address the first, while a high-riding SUV such as a Kia Sportage, Hyundai iX35 or Mitsubishi ASX would help with the second.
