I suggest you take a serious look at the Skoda Karoq, the Yeti replacement. All the reports I've seen give it excellent marks e.g. What Car 5 stars. The new 1.5 petrol engine from the VAG stable is very well marked :-
"However, we’re most smitten by the 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol. It has an identical 148bhp as the diesel that proves to be a great match with the Karoq, delivering punchy performance in a refined manner. There’s plenty of power from low in the rev range, so you don’t have to work the engine hard to make reasonable progress, and the 0-60mph sprint takes a brisk 8.1sec."
I would have given this very serious consideration if it had been out when I was looking for my new car and I had been going for a manual transmission.

Again, above my budget especially after you have added on extras which come pretty well as standard on the Mazda, like seats, pedals, steering wheel....etc

Really difficult to get the Mazda Sport Nav spec from any other Manufacturer for anywhere near the price
LED Headlights alone can be £1200 extra in VAG
I would want a proper Auto box so my choice is very limited, I see you don’t mind the 3rd pedal, so can I add my suggestion and have a look at Hyundai Kona or Kia Stonic
But happy hunting, apart from having to put up with loads of Salesmen, it can be fun

Thanks Peter.
My heart is set on a auto this time. What though remains to be seen.

Is there another Mazda dealer near by, who should be able to provide a better (more typical) service?
Monty I know of a really nice CX3 sport nav in snowflake white, only 1300 miles, its due a new windscreen quality of work yet to be decided and badly fitted front sensors its down here in Bournemouth it could be yours
Failing that......when I chose the Mazda I struggled to find another vehicle within my price range that had all the kit that the sport nav had, I also wanted a petrol but not a little 3pot with a turbo, good as they are, I liked the idea of a 2ltr, the first I had had since my brilliant twin cam Sierra.
If you like the CX why not bite the bullit and get another and fingers crossed you have a better experiance, you should get a good deal.
Best of luck.
