• Mazda MX5 (1998-2005) - Mazda MX5 - road noise? 11 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Was thinking of doing the scrappage scheme, but the maths just don't add up for me - after a weekend testdriving Mazda 2 / Suzuki Swift / Toyota Yaris, I decided that my money would actually be better off going on a used car. So... in a bit of a departure from the supermini, I've decided that this is probably the last year till i'm 65 that i can have some motoring fun (am 31 now, gf is desperate to have kids etc), so am really looking at an MX5.
• Mazda Mazda 3 (2004 - 2009) - 05 1.6 Road noise 1 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Compared with my 9 year old Peugeot 406 it seems very noisy to me anyway on both counts. Anyone know where I can get a soundproofing kit for it? A mechanic has told me that Mazda have made the rubber bushes in the supension too hard - which is probably why the car handles so well otherwise! So, he says soundproofing wont help much since the noise is coming up through the suspension arms, springs and shocks into the bodywork.
• Mazda Mazda 6 (2008 -) - Great car, pity about the dealer 25 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  It looks as though I have loaned someonr £16,000 + I am not criticizing Saga in any way, their have behaved faultlessly, but I find it incredible that a main dealer should treat its customers thusly. I have of course written to the C.E.O. of the Co-op, copied to Mazda, but, what would have happened if I had been unable to raise the money, I am due to drive to Spain in just over a week..

• Mazda 323 (1998 - 2003) - 01 1.6 Intermittent flashing engine check lamp 7 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Hi All! This concerns a Mazda 323 1.6 2001 model year. I used to own this car but passed it to a friend. Recently he's been having a few problems with the engine check lamp illuminating. At times it flashes (indicating a serious fault).
• Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - oil overfill 3 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  Bought a Mazda 6 about 2.5 weeks ago. Did regular checks the other day and noticed oil overfill. I'd say it is quite significant. It goes above max to nearly the same distance as from min to max marks on the dipstick (so I think it is about 0.7 litres).
• Mazda 3 2litre petrol - Replacement for contract car 14 Aug 2018 (Forum)
  My daughter has decided to hand back her work provided VW Polo and buy her own car with a budget. Of 10k. She has set her mind on a Mazda 3 with thank goodness the 2 litre petrol engine. But has she overlooked any skeletons in th cupboard such as the ABS sensor which I believe has known to give problems. Your advise would be much appreciated.

• mazda 3 - Paint touch up 24 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  I have a three month old Mazda 3 bought on a pcp deal. My wife has just driven it into a wall! Actually it was only at 1 mph and it has jest left three 1cm scuffs along the bonnet rim. My question is, should I get it done at the main dealers or choose another (cheaper?)

• Mazda 6 new model 7 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  Just having a read of the HJ review of the new Mazda 6.  I'd have another 6 - don't really care for the 19" wheel option and it's disappointing that they're not doing a hatchback but it is a good looking car, and they've souped it up a bit whilst lowering the VED.
• Mazda MX-5 - 48000 mile / 4 Year service 17 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  Opinion/advice please on whether my MX-5 - 4 years old in May and with 16700 miles from new -  REALLY needs a 48000 mile service - incuding replacement of brake fluid and rear diff oil change this year ? It has had  Mazda main dealer service in accordance with manufacturer schedule thus far - including 37500 service a year ago when it had 11000 on the clock.

• volkswagen Golf V / Mazda 3 / Skoda Octavia / BMW1 - ABS/ESP module problem 11 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  Is it a problem that all cars fitted with this unit will definitely suffer at some point, or is it an issue that affects only a small percentage. I am particulalrly interested in knowing the frequency of occurency on Mazda 3s. Thanks,

Pre-reg/demonstrator I'd guess, but it'll be a sound buy for someone. £12500ish???? As long as you didn't want the folding electric roof & it's premium price.
• mazda 323 noise? 2 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  I have a strange problem with my 2000 Mazda 323 Diesel. I keep getting a sqeeky/rattle type noise only when the engine is hot, it's worse when accelerating at around 2500rpm or if you hold the throttle steady, soon as you lift of it goes? I was thinking that it's an engine noise but it's only when the car is moving so I am now suspecting a gearbox or clutch problem?

• Mazda 323 starting problem 22 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Hope someone can help give me an idea on this one. I have a 1992 Mazda 323 1.6i. There is a starting problem where I have to crank the engine for quite a few seconds before it reluctantly starts. Rather than immediatly going to the right revs it slowly coughs it's way up to about 1200rpm.
