Further under 7 I keep the more I have for my estate car budget :) Was thinking Mazda 5 and no Renaults, won't be bitten by that electrical gremlin again. Another other cars ye all can think of? Cheers
  • Where can I get the biggest new car discount? 17 Dec 2013 (Ask HJ)
    Can you tell me where I can get the best discount on a new car? I’m in the market for a Mazda 3.
  • Mitsubishi ASX - The ASX unsung SUV 29 Jul 2013 (Forum)
    HJ did a really positive write up of this great all round SUV Unfortunately all the major mags just don't bother to compare it with the bigger punching manufacturers such as Mazda Nissan and Honda. It has many great features but the most important for many must be that it is narrower and a proper in town car as well as being very capable off road. I think motoring journalists are too fond of the big names.
  • M25 jcn 4 to Blackpool & back 17 Jun 2007 (Forum)
    Hi all - I will be doing the above journey with the wife and kids in a few weeks time and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the best route there...

  • News Section/Reputable Brokers 2 Mar 2006 (Forum)
    Has anyone used these brokers and what is their view? Also what chance of the car being supplied by an actual Mazda dealership (broadspeeds referal was to an Autozone4cars which I also know nothing about) ?
  • Another Auction Buy 26 Apr 2005 (Forum)
    Hi all After my wife had written off the escort (no injuries thankfully), I was looking for a replacement. I saw a Mazda 323 diesel at auction. 2000 W, 95k miles warranted px from a main dealer, metallic silver, good condition. £2500. I thought it was a good price, am I right? Just waiting to see the smile on her face when she gets home.

    After sitting like a chump for 30 minutes I got impatient and clicked on my back button only to be told the broadcast had taken place!!!!!!! Bad form Mazda.
  • Hard Top Security Issues 21 Jul 2004 (Forum)
    I remember reading some time ago that certain OEM hard tops are extremely vulnerable to theft, - I seem to recall the Mazda MX5 and also BMW 3 Series convertibles, when fitted with the optional hard tops, are quickly and easily removable by the pond life opportunists. My son is considering buying a Porsche Boxter and was wondering if anybody on the forum owns or runs one of these vehicles and knows if their hard tops are secure from theft or not??

  • Automatic fluid change conflictind opini 20 Oct 2002 (Forum)

  • Paint job 26 Jul 2002 (Forum)
    My father in law has scraped the door and wheel arch on the Mazda 626 I bought him last week. He's too daft to ask for a second quote, so does anyone here have a feel for whether £400 for a new door skin and paint and a couple of small dents in the front wheel arch sounds right?
  • Budget luxury? 8 Aug 2001 (Forum)
    Any recommendations for a used budget 'luxury' car - auto/air con/leather for about 9K? I took a look at a Mazda Xedos 6 (gets a good write up from HJ) in a dealers the other day - thankfully I saw it before the valeters. Interior stank of smoke, tyres were marginal and the alloys looked as though they'd never been cleaned!
  • Ford Focus Auto's 19 Nov 2000 (Forum)
    I was intending to get a model year 2000 one via Ford Direct, I have now read that they had a lot of problems with the auto box, which came from Mazda. What is the situation now. Has anybody experience of them. I am to take a test drive in one this week, a feb 2000 registration, I won't take this one until I find out what's going on, It's also the wrong colour.

  • Used estate/MPV - holy grail sought. 16 Mar 2013 (Forum)
    Having put it off for various reasons, I'm once again thinking about replacing our Mazda MPV 2.0 diesel owned since 2004 (40k on the clock). Have been out of the car market since then but confess to being concerned about the prospect of buying into a whole lot of potential expense when it comes to mid-long term servicing and repairs.
