Re: The end of the CX3?

I saw one the same in the showroom the other day and it looks much better that I thought with regard to the plastic areas..............Not too much at all, looks really good 8-) .

Re: The end of the CX3?

I think they have to keep them supplied for something like 7 years.

I think you're correct. It was badly worded. I should have said motor rather than pump.

Re: Steering notch?

Mine went in this week to have this looked at and they couldn't find anything wrong. When I was collecting the car I spoke to another technician who wants it back in to take a test drive. He seemed a bit more informed on how the steering works and thinks it could possibly be a steering position sens...

Re: The end of the CX3?

Re: The end of the CX3?

A big mistake by Mazda in my opinion..................Not everyone wants or needs a bigger car especially if you end up paying big money for a car you don't need. Way too much plastic cladding on it as well. The reason I didn't get a Soul Red CX3 was because it showed up the grey plastic too much co...

Re: mazda CX30

If the CX-30 has a bit bigger boot then I'll probably get one next time around but with the more powerful engine. The CX3 is just right for my needs except for the boot capacity. I looked at the CX5 but the car was far too big for my needs. It they'd done the CX-30 when I got my CX3 then I would hav...
