So whether a focus where we have to fill up every two days and holidays with a trailer to be driven

It is always fwachten which car has ordered the pastor. At my new job I was therefore a Passat. It never would have been my choice, because it's not the sexiest car for me. That's why I've never taken a test drive in the Passat's choice moments.

I'm blank and discussed what I was instantly noticed, of course, the seas of space. Always handy at times when you need to transport a sofa. Because I really do not like refueling, I try to be as economical and to drive fast as possible: many cruise (BMW improved, namely handle touching and state, a button press, but has now also become accustomed here) and not too hard ride, because in time does not jerk off. Well that tanks have fortunately not often, spike or long. I do almost 1300 km on a TAMK. Therefore, there is much peut in.

Verde, very mediocre moving car. Slow handling of a limp noodle, mutimedia is very outdated. Sound again moderate. Dull sound and find an audiophile not like. Chairs okay. What remains? Not that much outside of the above mentioned positives. My wife has a new Focus with a three pitter and that drives so much better. Well, what do you do with two opgroende children. Choose space? Whether for good driving? I'm not there yet, but since Sjoemelgate where my car needs to go under the knife, I can not imagine that a car can still slow down as this mop with plenty of space.

So whether a focus where we have to fill up every two days and holidays with a trailer to be driven (twice a year) and the Passat with international fuel card that I possibly can carry a fridge.


At last it was time. After the first case of a white Prius and then a 508 SW reason being it was my turn to buy my own car lease. For my first impression share here my considerations.
- A Passat 1.6 TDI business
- a Mondeo 1.5 TDCI first edition
- Volvo S60 business with business package
- Volvo V40 D2 with all options

The latter soon fell af.14% was actually the main reason I find a nice Volvo brand, fine cockpits but just too small. On other models, I ran into a problem. The leasing company wanted these cars without a contract for more than 3 years. (I drive around 60k). This seems to be pinched by the diesels for a 2.0TDI could be 42 months or longer. The lease drivers among us understand what this means for the monthly amount.

In short they fell outside budget. Through leasplan directly but puzzling again. The Mazda 6 was well within budget just as skylease GT. With 150 hp diesel. Yet once again viewed seriously. Personally I thought it was actually a nicer car to see than my previous options. No idea why I had not come earlier here (honest'll snobbery have been compared to Japanese cars). And the car is a giant leap forward with the 2015 update of the interior.

The first impression after 5000 km:

the car is now at 3 weeks in succession. The first European road trip is over. Via Austria to Tuscany, Lake Iseo, Stelvio and finally Sankt Anton back home.

And, what a difference with the 508. The 2.2 diesel drags the car smoothly on the Autobahn and I find the manual gearbox very pleasant. But then the robotic 6 bucket of the Peugeot was dredged (further I found it a nice comfortable car peu)

The 220km / h was quickly tapped but is also a criterion for me. Only had some time to be tried. The car has more than enough torque to drive good economically.

Also notable is that the 6 despite its size drives nice and tight and send exactly. This of course depends on what you're used to but I like riding the top six. In the past I have driven several Passat and Audi A4 and BMW 3 and I can not say that my experience Premium is now less. (Ok these were models of a few years back, and the third was very fijn😃😃) hereby I compare it with 20% addition and up to 36k nieuwprijs

The interior is like me well so far. Fine leather chairs and I like the color scheme with the combination maroon? On the dashboard very beautiful. The MZD Connect system works well (compare Navi Peugeot).

While driving, I think the car sufficiently quiet, just good. I read that some had problems with vibrations in the tires 120/130. Which was delivered to me at 17 inches (standard) with Toyo tires. I notice there are fortunately a thing.

The fuel consumption was in the first 5000 km 6,2 l / 100 km but there were many autobahn km at and we have a lot of driving in the mountains. Meanwhile, I see that the average consumption is falling and that I now easily 900km on one tank while it gives less in Germany. I mean to get until I tank, not quite empty (at 100/120 km range available)
The fuel tank is I do believe less than the Peugeot. I was easily 1200 km further along. You can not have everything.

What pleases me very well
-MZD connect works fine
- the engine, flexible and powerful
- ride quality, nice mix between comfort and taut ride
- the rich equipment, I'd no longer an option know
-I think it's a very nice car
-very well inside

What pleases me less
- the car has premium Bose speakers, the sound is fine but the standard speakers in the peugeot were at least as good with it seems more bass.
- Keyless entry. It does work, but you can make the car locked by pressing the door springs on the sensor. Therefore stood my car last half hour in Enschede with the keys on the voorstoel😏

All in all I am very happy with the car and I think it is for the exclusiveness nice that the rest of leasend Netherlands for Modeo's Passat and so continues . I wonder if they like me do not put on their shortlist of 6 in the first instance for the same reasons as me.

Later if the car is really well broken in, and I'll still looking at the right pictures
Consumption decreases (8,500 km)Meanwhile, the car drove one month in succession and again 8500 km. I have a lot of fun in the car and keep getting great reactions to the appearance of the car. The engine I experience as a soft and now I know where I'll have to listen to DAB + radio, and where not. Alas, the coverage in the Netherlands will be better I hope.

The MZD Connect suits very well. Navi gives good routes and also good alternatives. Works wonderfully smooth unlike the Peugeot system.
Also, the connection with the phone just fine and the service is quite fast. Conveniently, quickly converting kit to phone and vice versa,

in the beginning I found the switch from radio stations somewhat cumbersome and inconvenient that you must scroll through the entire list each time. Gevalletje not read the handleiding😜 the trick is to create a favorites list, and then you have to zap the wheel.

Than consumption. Slowly but surely declining this and now I sit on 6.0 / 100 km, either one at 16.7. But if I do I calculate how much row on the actual uplift liters than the average 1 in 17.2. So it will still be something to fall on the onboard computer.

However, invites fine motor to firmly pull up and pull. This is obviously not conducive to what should be a maximum achievable but yes .....

That or another advantage of the Peugeot and robotized six bucket. Lethargic, but you drive quieter and more economical too.
Nearly four months on the road (22,800 km)Meanwhile, the car is well run in. Consumption has dropped to 5.8L / 100km likes the trip computer. When I look at the statement that the leasing company generates I see that they therefore satisfied zijn😃

To date still had no problem with the car. Remains wonderfully smooth ride. If I have to declare minuses than that:
- the premium Bose sound system. Really not bad but I keep messing around with the settings and the Ford Ka my wife really has a system that sounds warmer and fuller with more bass. I think they should have a subwoofer there.
- The car thinks that the oil should be changed. The dealer says not. This was because there were hidden somewhere turned wrong settings in the menu. This is adjusted by the technician. And now the car will again each day that the oil should be ververst😁

Overall, it remains a great car and I have to actually look for spots that are less like me.
Yet some broken (27,900 km)The car holds me very liked and is now on winter tires. The consumption is 5.8L / 100km.

The car keeps asking for an oil change, despite the first service. And now suddenly the fault BSM or blind spot monitoring would not do it. Oddly enough this is not the case because I am still neatly alerted to everything in the blind spot. But then, can you then trust?

The car is perfect and show that you really need an update of the MZD Connect. This would contain a bug. According to the mechanic must then also replace the BSM sensors as these can not be changed by software.

Well, the things that are complicated cars. Driving any less and it will be resolved soon be under warranty.
