for 65k miles in 2 years, i dont blame you for saying its the worst car... in my option the rapid is not a 30k + mile per year type of car.
You are right. Although most of the issues have been there since day 1.

Nice to see positive comments.
I have done 65k in my 2014 elegance.
It is with out doubt the worst car I have owned in 20 years of company car driving.
Can't wait for it to go back shortly.

It is a bit of a PITA. There are so many ways to do things on the car, touch, steering wheel, voice, second set of knobs by the hand brake; but they don't all do everything and some of the stuff is contextual. So you can only say nav commands on nav, same for radio etc.
Other stuff is on the OBC on the binnacle which is not related to stuff in the ICE, mostly, apart from the bits that are.
I find the postcode entry ok but it's not clear at all how you do it, dealer showed me when I bought the car.
I test drove a 'sport' which is exactly the same bar bigger alloys and HUD. Hud is annoying, don't get excited about it. Looks like cheap bit off a kids toy as well.
If you need space the estate is pretty massive.
Cheers.
Just organising getting a volvo v60 in for a few days also. Never been in one.

Also with the Mazda, play around with all the gadgets... I find them an absolute ball ache to use, especially the Nav system. If it's got Nav you'll know straight away what I mean when you enter the postcode! They aren't great systems to be honest and I'm not really a fan, however it is a nice comfy place to be and the engines are good.
Another thing with the Mazda is that if you get a crack to the screen, you have to wait weeks for the refit as the car has to go to the dealer to have its Rain sense and accident equipment reset! It's an utter ache! I've driven hundreds of different cars over the last year as I was so working with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and I have to say they were a good car, but if I had the choice... Well I think my current car speaks for itself
:DThanks for the insight.
Waiting weeks for a replacement windscreen would not be ideal. Even having the car off the road for a day at service time is a pain.
And it would have nav, which I do use.
That's the problem with only having the car to test over a couple of days, it's still really hard to test the day to day stuff that would annoy you.
Had a mondeo 3 weeks ago. Was open minded about it. But only top spec titanium gets parking sensors, which is not on my company list. ( it was last shape).

Yes Ken, boot full always. Thought the boot of the 6 looked fine.
Got another one coming on Monday for a few days test, will swap my stuff over to it this time to get a better idea.

Haha, yes.
Having owned many skoda's, including my current company bus, i may fancy a change.
That said the superb is a nice place to sit.
Sadly, as I spend all day every day attempting to squeeze into miniscule on street parking spaces, it might come down to size.
Cheers Aspman.
Have driven both, although the superb was 6 months ago.
Mpg unimportant on company car, co2 /tax almost identical on both examples.

Coming up for the time to choose a new company bus.
Pretty much between a superb se-business 2.0 150 and a mazda 6 se-l nav 2.2 150.
Both in estate flavour.
Prefer the mazda to drive and the engine is a peach. Superb slightly better finished.
Couple of questions- is se business now the se technology?
The only real thing missing from the mazda is car play. Is it worth having? Had a look at the apps, is it slick to use?
Any opinions on one versus the other?
Cheers
:D

Having had a 5 and a 6, I prefer the Oneplus 3. A beast in comparison.
