A couple of questions regarding this vehicle please:

- I heard that some Mazdas have weak engine mounts. Does this newer model suffer from this problem?
- How reliable are the electricals? The towbar installers state that it requires a separate CANBUS adaptor to run the trailer lights. CANBUS type electricals in general make me nervous.

Many thanks for your comments :)

Hi there,
I have exerienced the top engine mount leaking on a mazda3 hatch version around that year. Not sure if the 6 had same fault.
You can usually see a stain around it if you look hard. Easy to replace and not too expensive. Maybe just keep it in mind when looking.
Canbus systems are now on alot of cars these days.They require a genuine wiring loom and professional fitment for trailer connections.
Canbus systems are complex, but seem to work well.
