• Mazda 323 (1998 - 2003) - Insurance declined 9 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  I just rang my insurer to change the car on my policy and to my surprise they said to me they can't cover me and my wife on our new car which is a Mazda 323 TD insurance group 7. According to the chap I had on the other line, the car has very high insurance group so they can't cover anyone under 30 and we both are! I'm just not happy about it. What could I do besides looking for a policy elsewhere.
• Accord vs Mazda 6: Diesel or Petrol 8 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  I have company 2.2l diesel accord. From October will buy my own car. I went to look at a new diesel accord and compare with Mazda 6 (better price, not quite so refined). Both dealers offered me better deals on 2 litre petrol models. Obviously cost more in petrol, about £400/yr for me but about £3k cheaper to buy. Have I missed something because for private driver doing about 10k miles petrol looks better deal.
• Door mirror - replace/repair? Mazda 323 22 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Hi all, This morning, I found the driver's door mirror on my 2003 Mazda 323 hanging off by the motor electrics cable. (Looks like some kid has given it a karate chop - never mind...) The mirror, housing, motor are all fine - it just looks like the plastic joint has snapped right through.

• Mazda 323 noises 17 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  I've got a Mazda 323F 1998. I bought it 6 months ago and soon after began to make a 'knocking' noise whenever I was braking and turning at the same time. It seems to happen at each corner but mostly front offside and I can usually feel it through the brake pedal.
• Mazda 2 1.4 Auto Shift Changedown 2 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Just bought a Mazda 2 1.4 Capella with Auto Shift transmission. Car great and box seems fine.

• Mazda 3 / Skoda Octavia / new Suzuki Vitara - New car - hatchback/new family 28 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  Consumption does not get the final say, but important also. The last 3 still in the game are the following:   Mazda 3 sedan 2.0 petrol, 120HP: +: killer looks, japanese made (my old one has 205000 km without a fault), big boot -: not a lot of space on the back seat (wonder if I could fit a 0 group baby seat there, as it takes a lot of space), trunk opening as bad as on my current Mazda   Skoda Octavia 1.6 TDI, 105 HP: +: a lot of space on back seats, trunk opening can swallow an Airbus inside, excellent fuel consumption -: average/pensioner look, high price here in Croatia (22500€, whereas Mazda comes to 19500 in the similar spec level)   New Suzuki Vitara, 1.6 VVT petrol, 120 HP: +: cool crossover looks, nicely equipped for the price, gives same amount of space in back seats as Mazda, 375L trunk seems as it could just fit both stroller parts, has cam chain -: fit and finish (the door just doesn't want to clap when you gently try to close, completely unimpressed by that), price for diesel version goes sky high (21500€, unacceptable for a smaller car with this fit and finish), 1,6 petrol says 5,3L/100km (53 mpg), tests give 7,5L/100km (37 mpg)   Further to consumption, Mazda has 5,1L/100km (55 mpg) on highway test at 100km/h, and 7,0 (40) at 130 km/h, which is, for a 2.0 petrol, excellent.
