Re: Mazda reliability and servicing, plus Skyactive X thoughts
I buy a new car for cash, having already lined up a private buyer for my existing car, and keep the new one for at least 7 or 8 years. No fees, no interest charges and no trade in profit for the dealer. I realise that not everyone can afford this approach, but it has the merit of simplicity. I wonde...

Re: Auto choice

Re: Winter Service Package from only £36.40 ?
Just touting for business at a slack time of year. All this should have been done at the last annual service and, if applicable, the MoT.

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 m...

Re: devon/cornwall/somerset 2nd service prices
My CX-3 was supplied and has been serviced from new by Eden Mazda Taunton. I took out a 3 year Service Plan at £16.40 per month, so the first three services cost £197.88 each. The Mot at the third service was extra. I then extended the Service Plan for a further three years, and the cost fell to £15...

Re: i stop
I hate the silly gimmick, so needless to say it works relentlessly.
By switching it off before every journey, I make it do what I want it to.

Re: Hot tip for a cold morning..
If you have a garage, my tip would be to find other space for the bikes, freezers, lawnmowers etc, and put the car in there.

Re: The end of the CX3?
The only reason Mazda found it necessary to spend money face lifting the CX-3 was the negative customer feedback from many owners, myself included, who complained about the noisy rough riding of the original version.
