[@dragonalfaata]

​@@opinionated_one8692Please stay away from that 2.2 diesel. It's very pretentious if it's not taken care of properly. And most don't know how to take care of it. If you're buying used, avoid it. If you're buying new, try not to drive it a lot in the city, a lot of issues with the particles system (dpf), always check your oil as this engine is known for oil level *rising* due to unburnt fuel that gets in the oil pan (don't know what you call it in English) because of failed dpf regenerations.

@@opinionated_one8692 definitely avoid 2.2 diesel from mazda, i seen a few vids from qualified mechanices, and it's not cheap to repair the inherent problem with head parts. I think gasket or something in the head there is made of softer material and it gets damaged over time and it bruises the inside of the engine all over. If mazda then I would suggest aspirated petrol engine

Mazda truly make the best driver's vehicles. The quality, driving dynamics and looks are unparalleled. However, nothing beats manual. For example, you can down shift at about 800RPM in anticipation of a downhill. But also where automatics and DCTs fall short is: -More frequent transmission oil changes -being undecided about which gear to stay in on the highway elevations and depressions -higher clutch use in DCTs compared to a manual with a driver who knows what they're doing -smoother stopping because the transmission can be fully disengaged and brakes let off smoothly without the transmission re-engaging -more points of failure
