I'm a fan of the XC60, which still gets The Tick, but you should also consider the Skoda wagon lineup and test drive both the Octavia and Superb as they are from the Volkswagen family but better value.
The exact capacity is 568 litres. Impressed now?
The latest-generation oils are truly good for 15,000km or a year. If you are concerned you could get the oil changed more regularly but, provided you keep an eye on the level in the engine, there is no reason to worry.
You can have full confidence in Skoda to be able to supply spares for the Ambition should you need them. Remember Skoda is part of VW, one of the largest carmakers in the world.
I'd choose the Mazda6 from your list, but would also suggest you check out the Skoda Octavia, which is a top car and very good value.
A Skoda Octavia wagon would be a good option, or even the larger Superb if you are buying second-hand.
The Octavia gets The Tick and my personal preference is the wagon. The engine is fine and you should also chase one of the latest drive-away deals.
