About the MX-5, I've asked the dealer to keep an eye out for a decent car being part exchanged. Something for the weekend sir : ) Yes there are plenty of good examples of low mileage Mk3s being exchanged for Mk4s at the moment. There are also some lovely Mk1s and Mk2s around, but they will get sold...

Hi Ducatiman and welcome to the forum. You will certainly miss the performance of the GT86. I had to keep the MX5 as well as the CX-3. I'm sure you will enjoy it, it is a lovely car to drive. had aluminium pedals in a previous MX5 but my foot kept slipping off so I won't have those again.

Hello very pleased with my sports nav 2litre petrol due to the bad weather we've been having I'm considering fitting rear mud flaps the rear window gets very dirty quickly in bad weather I wouldn’t discourage you from doing it but even with mudflaps, guarantee it is the quickest car you’ve ever had...

Okay 1100 miles completed, not a lot I know, but I have to keep all my cars happy and spread the love. The MX5 is having its roof replaced this week so I'm using the CX-3 and a loan car, Fiesta 1.25 Zetec. The Ford is a lovely car to drive, handling and comfort are A1 and it is really quiet, but the...

I don't understand why Mazda advertise the fact that the system will play Ogg files. They certainly won't sound any better in the environment of a car than 360 mbps MP3 files. I guess that Ogg users don't want to convert their files to MP3 just for the car. I really don't know how they managed befor...
