Picking up the new family car on Friday, 2009 mazda 3 1.6 sport. Anyone got one of these or know if they're any good? Bit late now as I've put the deposit down but it must be good its Japanese!

Based on the Ford Focus chassis. Nice little car, thats a little rarer than the normal family hatchbacks.

 

Had a friend with a high spec fully loaded Diesel sport example, although he's just traded it in for a E60 535D. He owned it for about 4 years and was always fond of it.

Yeah. My mate has got one. It's really nice. Comfy, reliable with some nice posh extras. A good buy.

dont know much about the car but if its jap then its good in my books Tom for reliability ect

Cheers guys, thought it would be more reliable than the focus & astra etc, looks more stylish aswel.

Yeah great buy Tom, can't go wrong with Japanese.

Sounds like my Zed.....lmao.....:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Nice one Tom and health to enjoy mate:thumbup1:

Really looking forward to picking it up now. Something fun to drive while the zed is off road for winter.

Sounds nice Tom, better than that ragtop ashtray you had :)

Cheers Baz, although I did love that Astra, apart from when the turbo failed.

The other halfs got a mazda 3 2.0 sport its ok nothings gone wrong apart from the front passenger bose speaker has blown :rolleyes:

Not heard anything bad about them mate - and it's a bit different from the usual Focus/Astra/Golf, so nice not to follow the crowd I say...

 

Good luck with your new car,

Thanks Richard. Looked at the golf, astra, focus & polo but the mazda just seemed more stylish. Will put a picture up tomorrow.
