• Audi A3 Sportback - or A4, Octavia - Purchasing an Audi A3 Sportback- what to look for? 4 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  Hello all Following on from a question that my wife posted a few weeks ago, we have found ourselves trying to find a sensible car for a future family after a few years of fun with a 2001 Mazda Mx5 Mk2 1.8. We have narrowed it down to the A3 Sportback, with perhaps consideration for an A4 Avant or a Skoda Octavia? Our budget is £10k (inc P/X for the Mazda) and for that kind of money we can get the following: 07 A3 with 60,000, 1.9TDi Manual* preferred option 06 A4 with 60,000, 1.9TDi Manual 07 Skoda with 60,000, 1.9TDi Manual My questions are: Is this a good option?

• Summer soft-top/classic 18 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  As you can see/know the sensible choice is the Mazda all day long. I am put off with the idea of constantly battling rust on the two BL cars...but I like the idea of running one. What does everyone think. Anyone got any experience of running one of these.
• Authorised Repair??? 5 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  I replied that I hadn't even had a form to complete as yet and I wasn't about to let them loose on my 12 month old Mazda. Does anyone know if this is a scam or am I just getting even more cynical as I get older?
• Daihatsu Copen (2003 - ) - Summer Fun -Daihatsu Copen ? 10 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Having lusted after a Mazda MX5 for the past couple of years (but never done anything about it), I have noted a steel grey Copen parked in the work car park and, although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I feel a strange urge to (at least) try one for the long summer days which lay ahead.

• How Much for an MX5 Special ? 31 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  The Montana has other extras such as leather and air-con and is priced just a shade under £3k over the price of a standard 1.8 model, at £18995. I have had a sniff around the dealer and naturally they claim that Mazda will not discount. But ! Lo,in this weeks local rag the very same dealer is offering it at £17995 with a £500 deposit allowance from Mazda. Shades of trying to shift them a bit quicker? The trouble is, as it is a special it is unlikely any will turn up at the supermarkets.

• Mazda 3 - The perfect 10k used family car 11 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  Have had a look through this forum, I’ve managed to narrow the list down to these: Mazda 3 SEAT Leon Skoda Octavia Volvo V60   We’re planning to head out to showrooms over the next few weekends to have a look at examples but wanted to know if any one had any thoughts on this list ot an obvious choice that I was missing (I thought about the Honda Civic but doesn’t interior seems a little dated when looking at the budget).
