  • None - Looking for a suitable car 19 May 2023 (Forum)

I really like Mazda's reliability, and I'll be disappointed if I have to go with another make, but I'm not sure if I really want to end up with an estate or other larger type of vehicle....

  • New car for the Mrs 5 Jul 2019 (Forum)
    We’ve had her Toyota Yaris from new (14 plate) and she wants something with 5 seats and maybe a little bigger. Either that or buy another reliable Yaris. Here’s the line up: - Fiat 500x - Honda Civic - Mazda 2 - Mini 5dr - Nissan Juke We like the 500x but it sure on reliability, Civic is safe bet, Mazda 2 fine but same size as Yaris, Mini is good but parts and servicing is a bit expensive, love the Juke cos of its higher ride can get a good spec for money.
