Re: Auto Express Review CX-3 GT Sport

brown/red leather aside it's just a bunch of current aero bits and new rim colour Yes, but that's what Mazda is all about. Lots of special editions with different bits and pieces and colours. Mazda have been successfully doing it for years with the MX5. It's good to have all the variants in the lin...

That looks like a bargain, only 26 months before the warranty runs out :)

Re: Has anyone "chipped" their CX yet?

I would love to chip mine, but it will invalidate the warranty. Also I would need to change insurance as Direct Line won't insure it if I increase it more than an additional 20HP.

They looked red to me, but I do think they are classy.

Re: Auto Express Review CX-3 GT Sport

I love red seats, I've had two Alfas and a Fiat with red seats.

Re: Air Con fail and fix

Thanks strangeway's, I hadn't checked the operating presures of R1234yf good point, rules that one out. Probably Just poor components or installation. My boss has banned all company car purchases of Mazda, not happy with all the lost productivity as time spent back and forth to the garage. That's 3...

Re: Air Con fail and fix

It's not caused by the pressure as there is no significant difference between the two refrigerants. At 20 deg C, R134a is 5.83 bar and R1234yf is 5.93 bar. It is either a leaking evaporator/condenser or the connections onto them. When I asked if they pressure tested them I was told by Mazda Crawley ...

I agree, I have an auto dip mirror in my MX5 and the first thing I do when I start up is to turn it off. As soon as you go under some trees during daylight it just goes dark a...

Re: Map Update

Let's face it, the Mazda Sat Nav is a second rate system and will never be as good as a Garmin or TomTom. I have accepted this fact and have my Garmin stuck on the dash next to the Mazda display. Mazda make great cars to drive, but that's where it ends. The ancillaries that they add on to their cars...
