The kerbweights of the new Mazda 6 estate vary between 1370kg & 1720kg the 85% match is between 1164kg & 1292kg so if you stick to the 85% rule then the car is a bit light even with the heaviest one.

Have a look at http://www.cuddles.abelgratis.net/mazda.htm#6e07 for kerbweights and http://www.whattowcar.com/ for outfit matching. I found them very useful.

Mike

The Mazda website states 1370kg to 1595kg as the kerbweight of a Mazda 6 estate and a maximum permissible towload of 1500kg for the petrol engined variant, 1600kg for the two diesels.
