Re: Mazda CX-3 iStop - problem or no problem?

If you or your dealer ever discover the cause of your iStop's failure, please let me know so that I can permanently disable mine. It is nothing but a nuisance.

Re: Log In Query

Having finally lost patience with the autofill function on my computer I disabled it. Now when I log on my correct user name appears at last!

Re: One month of ownership , first DISASTER

That makes two forum members reporting shattered windows so far. I wonder how many non-members have experienced this serious and potentially dangerous problem. The consequences of it happening at speed do not bear thinking about. Given the tendency of the CX-3's overly firm suspension to transmit ro...

Re: Coolant usage

Thanks for your replys gents will monitor it for a while. Still wonder though if other petrol CX3's use coolant, have run Citroens for the last ten years and never needed topping up between services. No coolant or any other fluids used between services in 17 months ownership, apart of course from t...

Re: One month of ownership , first DISASTER

Oh Dear, not what you need this time of year. Any bullet holes. So the sub woofer DOES work :shock: As the window blew out, not in, the cause is unlikely to be a bullet or any other missile! This was a nasty thing to happen at any time of year, but hopefully the only injury was to your nerves. If t...

Re: Rear Washer Jets

The rear jets are a long way from the pump, so it can take a few seconds before any air in the tubes is displaced by the washer fluid.
The tailgate quickly gets dirty in wet weather, so I use the rear washers regularly and have never had any problems.

Re: Mazda CX-3 iStop - problem or no problem?

I am old enough to remember "Clunk, click, every trip". Now it's "iStop OFF, every trip" as well. On under 7000 miles a year I would rather save my nerves and the car's over complicated electronics than a tea cup of petrol or a puff of Carbon Dioxide. Switching off this silly gim...

Re: Zoom Zoom magazine.

I don't eagerly await it, but I do read it, and it's free. How would you like it improved zoylander? I don't see the need for a magazine of this sort at all, so I am not interested in improving it. What interests me is what others think about it. I would prefer the magazine to be discontinued and t...

Zoom Zoom magazine.

What do you think of Mazda's magazine? Is it entertaining and informative or a waste of resources?
My copy usually gets no more than a quick scan through before going into the paper recycling bin.
I would not miss it if Mazda discontinued it.

Re: Thinking of changing my petrol for diesel...

For the sake of your health, move house and keep the petrol rather than commute 140 miles a day.
