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

In their own words

If you're getting a Mazda, stay well away from the diesel. Others I know with the diesel have had issues as well. And Mazda's repair costs are astronomical - was quote £114 just for diagnostics. The whole experience however has put me off Mazda altogether and I can't recommend them as a brand either.

How reliable do you find the car?

The diesel's come with a litany of problems. Has been in the garage 3 times within the last 2 months. The DPF regeneration system is apalling and the mass air flow sensor is failing.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Expectations are met when the car works however it has only work about 60% of the time for me.
