• Advice on buying a cheap used family car? 17 Feb 2020 (Forum)
  I'm near Glasgow so choice seems a touch limited compared to London. I'd love a Japanese option, and the only one that seemed a contender was the Mazda 6 1.8 petrol, which is a distant 3rd place due to looks but I'm flexible. The least risky option seems a dealer due to some level of protection for 6 months and I'll be buying some kind of extended warranty anyway (mentioned below).

• New car - making a shortlist 28 Feb 2016 (Forum)
    It's not just a matter of height off the ground - she gets in and out of her Mini Roadster without too much trouble. Out of the running - Mercedes GLA, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Mazdas CX-3 and CX-5 - spare wheel not even an option and no space for one.  Sorry - that's a deal-breaker.  Must be something about makers beginning with M. So shoot me down and/or tell me what I've forgotten.

• What used family car? Too much choice is a curse.. 29 Oct 2020 (Forum)
  ·         USED Audi A4 Avant TFSI 1.4 or 2.0 (S Line) o    Pro: refined, well built and good looking vehicles, budget friendly due to popularity o    Con; Boot space could be better – will this cope with demands of family-life ·         VW Passat Estate 1.5 TSI (SE Business or GT) o    Pro - Passenger and boot space generous o    Con – Questionable reliability ·         Mazda 6 Tourer o    Pro – Good looking, and decent passenger and boot space o    Con – Rare to find used ·         BMW 3 Series touring o    Pro – Ride quality and driving experience, and ticks the snob box o    Con – Lowest boot space so question practicality
• Shopping for auntie dear. 3 Sep 2020 (Forum)
  The related Hyundai was also ignored. I’m fast running out of options. No to the Yaris, no to the Mazda 2 and no to the gorgeous Suzuki Swift I found. Next up the Peugeot 2008 which at last drew a smile. It’s the right size, it’s comfy, it looks good to her eye and it uses a simple and well regarded engine and a robust torque converter gearbox.

• (my) Autotrader gems 25 Aug 2022 (Forum)
  postcode=ab421nh&sort=year-asc&radius=1500&price-to=10000&include-delivery-option=on&advertising-location=at_cars&make=Mazda&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=Used&page=1">202203274008980  This Mazda 626 may be interesting precisely because it is so anonymous!. Only 15k miles though and the pics certainly support the claims of it being immaculate. Comfy, spacious barge that most wouldn't give a second glance to, even the alloys look like wheel trims!.
• Bangernomics 22 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  Resists Rot better than most and rarely falls into the hands of anyone under the age of 60 so few are abused. A perfect banger buy. The Mazda 3 is a close second and is much better to drive but rust is an issue. Get a solid one and it’ll be a great servant. Honda Civic up to 2005 is another good option but the Toyota wins it for me. If you must have a diesel then the Toyota or Honda 1.7 are the best bets.

• Smallish 4wd cars 27 Apr 2024 (Forum)
    It's like someone designed an engine to be maintained and repaired properly.  Brilliant. Mazda CX3 2.0 AWD 2018 ( think - Nice engine and gearbox.  Handled beautifully, but the ride was very bumpy over country lanes.  Very little space in the back.  The one I drove was quite tatty and I was surprised how tired the interior looked (it was about 45,000 miles).
• Cabrio joy 10 May 2020 (Forum)
      So what convertible would I say is the best ever made? Easy, it’s the Mazda MX5. My personal favourites are the early Mk I 1600’s, and the current model with the basic 1500 motor, the simpler the better. I’d love another one but I’m banned from buying anything with only two seats.

• Most impressed by 17 Apr 2020 (Forum)
  Practical enough to serve as the main family car in 5dr form, able to do 250k in diesel spec and the best hot hatch on the road in GTi form. These wee cars were just right. Mazda MX5 1.6 Mk I 114bhp - Early cats were the best, later gens became heavier and had less feel. The Japs showed us how the two seater sports car should’ve been done. Prices for good early Mk I’s are through the roof which tells you plenty.
