I'm considering buying a 2008 Mazda six ts2 2 litre diesel,only today I'm surprised with some bad reviews I've been reading,wondering has any had issues with this model or would anyone advise me for or against it!?

2 litre Mazda diesel? Avoid.

They don't all go wrong, but we've had 2 from 5 of the new models have total engine failure. Wouldn't fancy those odds if it was me.

Thanks for the reply mate,yeah well I had been shopping around for a diesel SIx speed modeo but of seven I had ear marked they had all been snapped up in last three days,gutted,turned to look at Mazdas as I've been told they are just as relaxable,obviously not!!

Have a look at the Insignia, or the Accord if it isn't a lot more expensive.

We've a lot of Insignias on the fleet and while they aren't all trouble free, the problems tend to be small, cheap to fix issues.

Not much goes wrong with Hondas full stop. There were some issues on the previous model, but Honda sorted them under warranty and I don't think the new model suffers from the same issues.

Skoda Superb is also worth a look if you can look past the looks, and find a high spec 2.0 in budget.

Were the failures just on the 2.0 diesels, or did it affect the 2.2 ones also? Thinking about getting a 2.2 hatchback/estate (or even the 1.8 petrol if I can find a decent one) but finding it hard to get real reliability info on these.
