Hi im john from scotland just put a deposit down on a 59 plate mps with 21000 miles on the clock, 1 owner from new and full service history and mots done by mazda. Its grey think i heard it being called cosmic grey ? Hopefully picking it up nxt weekend as its down in birmingham 5 and a half hour drive away. Whats a rough mpg people were getting i heard between 25 and 30 was just curious will be using it for work but only travel about 20 mins to work at the most and my old swift sport only averaged 30 mpg so dont think i should notice much of a differance if i can lay off the right pedal haha

Welcome to the club, nice looking car!
I spend half of my time in traffic so average about 18-19, however on long trips I can get about 400 miles from a full tank (think it's 65l) I got the same from my 3l BMW, but now I have 4 doors and 70 more bhp

Welcome along. Where about in Scotland are you?
I did a 10 mile commute in my 6 in medium traffic - averaging 40-50 mph and got 21/22 mpg

Heck we are all killing the arctic with each boost couldn't agree more.....I sold my 6 3 months ago because I was fed up with the fuel bill. But quickly came to realisation that boost is more important than mpg and put a deposit on another 6
