I actually like the look of Mazda 6 - I test drove one before buying the ZB Calais V - but found the performance a bit insipid. There's now a turbo engine that should resolve the performance, but I'm not a fan of the brown leather

Looks like red leather to me.

I didn't check the photos, but I'd be looking at a Mazda 6 Atenza if I was going to buy one - those have brown leather... See https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2022-mazda-6-atenza-gl-series-auto/OAG-AD-20890676/

First ... apologies to Paul Smedley for going off topic, but as Mazdas have been suggested, I am after some comments on a Mazda CX-30, which to me is a 2WD version of an Adventra / Commodore ....... being that it is a jacked wagon version of a Mazda 3. (Rubbish me if I am wrong.)
My daughter has tasked me with finding her a new car. She has handed her cars over her offspring and wants a 'nice small SUV sorta thingy' for herself, but not the size of a Territory, which I told her is not a big SUV anymore.
She is well aware that now is great time to look for a new car (sarcasm), she does not want a spaceship (.......... ie TV screen stuck to the dash which tells you when you need a toilet break), EV or PHEV, no CVT or DCT transmission, nor something that looks like it has been in the parking lot wars with the bends, curves and other current styling gimmicks, and cost around $40K or less.
That challenge is almost mission impossible at present.
My pick is the CX-30, purely on Mazda reputation and appearance, and seems tick her boxes.
Any better suggestions.
