  • Making my alloys look nice 29 Jun 2011 (Forum)
    I just scrubbed the Mazda, which includes washing the wheels.  Paintwork is waxed, but the alloys still look crap in comparison (also the previous owner didn't exactly look after them).  Does anyone have any particular kind of goo they like to use to shine their car wheels up?
  • The colour you disklike the most 7 Aug 2007 (Forum)
    Guys I would like to know what colour you dislike the most when it comes to cars? For me it has to be bright red followed by white. But I've seen a Mazda 323 in white which looks quite nice but I'm not entirely sure whether to purchase it or not. What you think of white cars? Thanks
  • Missing exterior mirrors. Is it illegal? 5 Jul 2007 (Forum)

  • Kia Pride manual ('94 1300cc) 25 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    I've just bought one of these (stop sniggering at the back there) and discovered Haynes doesn't do a manual. They list an Australian Mazda 121/Ford Festiva, which I understand are more or less the same, but are currently out of stock. Can anyone out there help please? The first job will be a cambelt change.

  • None - Looking for a suitable car 19 May 2023 (Forum)
    Hello, I'm looking to buy a used car at around £3500, I was set on waiting for a Mazda 3 or 6 to come up, but I have realised that the boot space may be an issue as I need to be able to travel 2 medium-large dogs and 3 passengers at the same time on occasion. 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.
