Re: The end of the CX3?

Whilst I'm certainly not in the market to upgrade (having just recently bought my CX-3) I have to say that I find the CX-30 to be a better looking car, even with the plastic mouldings. The purchase price initially looks quite high but when you look at the way showroom prices have increased over the ...

Re: The end of the CX3?

I think that if roles were reversed and Mazda were actually bringing out a compact version of the CX-30 (let's call it the CX-3) then everyone would want one, especially if you could get a Sport Nav+ Auto in Machine Grey for under £20k - what a bargain 8-) And, yes, you can still get them at that pr...

Re: Tyres

I happen to run winter Falkens on my Fiat Panda. Very quiet and amazing grip in the wet. The various tyre tests suggest that they're not great in snow but I'm more interested in cold, wet, conditions at which they excel. My tyre fitter even suggested running them all year round.

Didn't remove the battery - just put red lead onto the battery positive and the black one to where the negative/e...

Re: First Mazda - very pleased.

Welcome...is that an Audi Q2 next to the Mazda as that was my other choice but found it disappointing for the performance and price...how do you find it compared to the CX-3 Mark Hi Mark. The Q2 has been a fine car for general motoring, plus 3 trips to Europe. Performance (for a 1 litre) is quite r...

First Mazda - very pleased.

We needed to change our Juke auto (fed up with CVT gear boxes) and plumped for a new CX-3 this time round. I think that it's a Sport nav+ auto in a very tasteful grey and first impressions are very positive. Feels like a proper car, if you see what I mean. Solid, comfortable and smooth. Mind you, I'...
