1.4 Antares 5d
Mazda 2 (2003-)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

This would have been a good car but after a trouble free first year of ownership I started feeling ill whilst driving it. This is because fumes from an untraceable source started leaking in the engine bay. The ventilation scoop that's supposed to let fresh air inside the interior of the car is very poorly located directly behind the engine bay meaning (you've guessed it!) the fumes from the engine bay get sucked straight inside the car and basically poison the driver and the occupants. Needless to say no one can find the cause of the problem and advise that they "cant find anything wrong with it" - funny isn't it how cars have all sorts of safety features on them nowadays yet manufacturers are still incapable of preventing something basic like fumes from poisoning the occupants of vehicles or providing them with any sort of warning alert or alarm to let the driver know that there is a problem.
