Recent Travels

Hi All, Have just returned from a round robin trip from Cornwall to Norfolk, about 1100 miles in all, 47 mpg and a most comfortable trip allowing for my advanced years. I know this has been noted many times on here but for me my CX3 has been the best car i've owned to date - comfortable, economical ...

Enquired what happens if existing pump gives up before then, was instructed to co...

Re: insurance renewal

I've used Mazda Insurance for my CX-3, paid £411.00 in December 2020, was 77 years old at time but remember i'm in Cornwall which i would assume makes quite a difference in costs.

Nearside Door Mirror

Did I read it somewhere on here (or am I dreaming about my CX3 as well) do certain models have the facility for the nearside door mirror to dip when you select reverse. Thought i'd read it somewhere.
Cheers, Eddie

Realise brake pads etc will be extra but ...

Re: i-stop not working

I would agree with ivan@raf just purchased mine in December and its three years old in March. Its certainly the best car I've had since starting to drive in an 1954 VW Beetle in the early 60's. My i-stop is intermittent which doesn't bother me but as the car is lying idle for long periods now (only ...
