• Citroen Xsara Picasso to Honda, Mazda, SEAT ? - Advice on changing the Picasso to a reliable 13 Apr 2016 (Forum)
  Its a while since Ive bought direct through the market and my budget is very limited <£2000 I wondered how the following early models would compare or if worth considering if going for a replacement rather than repair. Honda Civic 1.6 i VTEC SE or the Mazda 2 1.6 Capella or 1.4 TDS (2004) or the SEAT or the Ford Focus 1.6 I tend to favour around the 1.6 anything higher I have always considered less economical (older cars remember) and unnecessary and the smaller not enough umph Opinions most welcome

• Mazda 2 - Early failure of ABS unit 27 May 2013 (Forum)

• Ford Focus - Foamy Dark Yellow Coolant 19 May 2010 (Forum)
  I'm losing patience with the Focus, I've thrown quite a bit of cash at it; my own car is a 1999 Mazda 323, which seems to just keep on keeping on. Maybe I've been spoilt with the Mazda - expecting a Focus to have similar reliability? Am thinking of maybe getting rid of the Focus and getting a Mazda 3 instead!
• Ford Fiesta 1997 - Ford Fiesta 1997 (Mazda 121) Revs Dropping 15 May 2010 (Forum)

• Mazda MX5 (1989 - 1998) - 1989 1.6 How to remove the alarm/immobiliser? 14 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  Hi, some words of advice from the experts please. We have a 1989 Mazda MX5 Japanese import which has a Texalarm ATX16 alarm/immobiliser fitted. It is an aftermarket item rather than an original fitment judging by the wiring This device seems to have failed leading to us not being able to start the car at all, even if we just reconnect the battery the alarm goes off.
• Free Mazda Eunos! 7 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  My wife returned home from work last night in a 1993 (K) Mazda Eunos. One of the clients in the architectural practice promised her about a year ago that he would change his car and give the Eunos to her when the money from a development came through. She didn't believe him, but, true to his word - he arrived in it yesterday and handed over the keys as a thank you gift for all the work she's done.

  Browsing Autotrader this morning and came upon this 29 year old Mazda 626 for £445!. No mention in the ad of MOT so i'm thinking it either hasn't got one or is very short. No, went on the Gov. website and it is MOT'd till next July!. Seems to good to be true, if i lived closer, i'd go and have a look with a view to buying it!
