A few days ago I wrote about a broken car I bought from a colleague. I gave her what the dealer would have given her for her Golf Plus. We agreed that I would come to collect it today. And since my sisters boyfriend has been looking for a Mazda 6 for some weeks now, I checked if there was something interesting where my colleague lives. I found a nice one in the same city that we wanted to check out.

Upon arrival at my colleagues place, the first thing I saw is that the Golf Plus was actually a CrossGolf, which is a bit nicer. It also has new tires, and a set of new winter tires. The car is also in almost perfect shape inside and out. My mood was set.

After getting the Golf, we went our merry way to check out the Mazda. It seemed nice on the photos, and it was in real life too! It had a few dings, but nothing terrible, and that paint is just gorgeous. Upon inspection, I noticed the Bose sound system with subwoofer, and the oem pet net in the rear. It would be perfect for me. I am kinda jealous.

When we arrived home, my sister was there and joker that she would take the Golf (she really likes it) her boyfriend would take her CR-V (he can’t afford it) and I could take the Mazda. I AM OKAY WITH THAT!

The fact that it is a Cross Golf does make it slightly more interesting than if it had been just an ordinary Golf Plus.

Nice colour on the Mazda! I’ve always liked the styling of that generation of 6, as it doesn’t really show its age. This one does seem a bit high, though, even more deserving of the Cross name than the Golf, haha.

My mum had a 6 of that generation which I really liked. Nice, precise handling, the diesel engine had enough power, comfortavle seats, you name it. The only thing I hated was that you have to go through the wheel wells to change a headlight bulb.

Yes it looks slightly better, and it’s 2 cm higher than the plus. The interior looks a bit nicer too.

I love that color from Mazda. I once test drove a rx-8 with that color, but it was too expensive for me. It was the only one I’ve ever seen in that color.

I hope it has some ground clearance. It will probably be off road from time to time

Did you? It didn’t look like it. I’ll have to check that. Maybe the xenon units are different?
