Summary
What does this car say about you?
I didn't research this car before i bought it now i'm stuck with a rusting piece of junk.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Looks nice....unless you point out the rust.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Never. As far as im concerned it is unacceptable for mazda to mass produce cars which are so prone to rust and for that reason i will never touch mazda again.
What are you likely to buy next?
Not a mazda or peugeot.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£4,000
When did you buy the car?
April 2010
Did you get a good deal and why?
Deal was fair. I tend to walk away if they ask for more than the cars worth out of principle.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Looked nice.
What was the dealer like?
Bank motors in glasgow. They said they would send out a 4 month warranty which never came and when i called them up they said they would send it out and never bothered. Lesson learned, never deal with them again.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its average to drive, quite fast if you put foot to floor but other than that just average.
What's it like to park?
Easy enough.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
In all fairness when i had the car it never failed to start, it always ran. Rust rust and more rust. If i knew the car would be riddled in rust a year after i bought it i would never have bought it. Rust everywhere particularly under the wheel arches. Sills needed welding also which cost a fortune.
What's most practical about your car?
It runs, but probably wouldnt make it past 80,000 miles without a new clutch.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
6 disc cd player.
