Avoid the mazda 6 like the plague! They have dpf nightmares tat even mazda cant fix. Google it! Stung once i will never buy another mazda and as i found out customer service is shocking!
TBH that might be more the actual dealer?
The DPF issue is not just Mazda though is it, IIRC it was a set of regs pushed by the EU and the solution rushed by a fair few firms in many cases meant if you bought a DPF fitted car and you don’t do much high speed stuff the it will go wrong.
I do have a Mazda 6 diesel estate which has had the DPF light come on once (sorted at no cost by Mitchell Mazda) since then I have given it a 20 minute run at over 2000rpm every 2 months and the oil level has remained stable & the filter pressure is fine.
Having said that the A6 will be a nicer car I’m sure but then I guess it would have been a fair bit more to buy when new!
Oh and one last thing that Mazda is the 2.2D not the 2.0D which I think had the DPF issue sorted?
