Re: Suspect Defective Speed Sensor

Re: Mazda bodywork guarantee.

I have just found similar corrosion on the roof of our car - 4year old.

Re: Front screen frosting up

The only other car we have had this on is a Skoda Fabia.

what has helped is
1. Clean the windscreen thoroughly - i used Autoglym polish and then Fastglass
2. Add Rain X Anti Fog
3. Use Silica bags

Agree that we shouldnt have to suffer this, but the above does help 90%.

Re: Heated Steering Wheel

mines comes on and warms up nicely, then starts to cool off after a few mins. never gets cold, but certainly does drop off quite a bit. No where near 30mins.....maybe 2-3mins
