• MINI Hatch - is it reliable? 31 Dec 2022 (Forum)
  However, I've read a few comments on here implying that MINIs are unreliable. Is that the case? It would be reassuring if it was, as hopefully the Mazda won't give me much trouble (famous last words!). If it isn't, I probably won't be changing in the immediate future, but scouring Autotrader passes the time quite nicely :)

Which car from the list would you choose or not choose?

  Hi,  I've seen an approved used car for sale on the mazda official website, which exactly fits the spec I am looking for.  Unfortunately it is 4 hours drive away.
