Wagons are not everyone's first choice as a family car now that there are so many SUVs to choose from, which is a shame because there are some fantastic wagons that may get overlooked and they tend to have great interior and boot space.

I can start by telling you the Mazda6 wagon is a fantastic car to drive! It is super smooth and responsive and just very enjoyable and easy. The interior looks great and feels luxurious for a family wagon. The seats are upholstered in brown leather which would be easily wiped clean except for the perforated central seat panels, which I could forgive for they provided both heated AND cooled seats! Such a lifesaver in our Australian summer!!

I could fit two child seats in the back of the Mazda6, there just wasn't room for a third, installing them was relatively simple. There are ISOFix in the two outer seats, they are within plastic guides and are lovely and easy to connect to. There are top tethers in the back of all three rear seats, which are easy to access and connect to.

The boot is a great uniform shape and has good capacity, empty it would hold fifteen shopping bags. Which is one less than both the Holden Commodore Tourer and VW Passa Alltrack Wagon holding sixteen bags and three less than the Subaru Outback which holds eighteen bags.
