Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Overpriced, may have been better buying a Lada.
Costs
Nothing on this car is cheap to repair. Very thirsty for a diesel 36mpg.

On the road
Driving
Poor road holding, very noisy on rough roads, lots of road noise.
Performance
Can lift its feet, but rough, unrefined engine.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Have had serious smoke problems which lead to the car being in the garage for 6 weeks. Has lots of annoying plastic rattles and squeaks. Last time I heard this many rattles I was in Mothercare!
Image
Looks the part, both internally and externally.
Comfort
Seats feel like park benches.
-
Security and Service
Security
Must be ok, no-one has tried to steal it. Perhaps they too have had the Mazda experience.
Service
The local dealer leaves a lot to be desired. Mazda's customer service department were less than helpful during the cars time off the road.
