Re: Auto box

Do you park on a slope? I did have something that sounds similar. It was cause by the way I put the hand brake on in relation to putting the vehicle in park, and the fact I park on my sloping drive. I was putting the car into park and then applying the handbrake. This seemed to put pressure on / loa...

Re: Mazda reliability and servicing, plus Skyactive X thoughts

I purchase via a personal loan & keep the car long term. Monthly payments similar to pcp, no restrictions on mileage, and at least an asset after the loan is repaid. Then all money set aside for a deposit on a new car when required. With a pcp, if you don't have an income to service it, you don'...

Reliability on my Skyactive G has been excellent. No issues to date in 65k of motoring over 2.5 years.

Welcome.
This isn't a view but a fact - the auto transmission is also excellent.

I've always thought the CX-3 is/was excellent value for the money, especially considering the spec on the Sports Nav compared to other marques.

Re: The end of the CX3?

Alot of people are saying they would rather have a CX-3 rather than the CX-30. Why then change? If you are happy with the CX-3, and have low mileage that alot of you seem to drive, then keep it. I've done 65k miles with only the steering wheel changed due to peeling. I don't need to keep changing my...

Popped in to Hendy Mazda yesterday to look at the CX-30. It was side by side with a CX-3, both in Soul Red. I agreed the CX-30 has too much plain black plastic trim, more than the CX-3. At least the CX-3 has the chrome along the bottom of the doors which definitely makes it less noticeable. In my op...
