DallasQLD Lifetime Members 1,197 Member For: 22y 28d Gender: Male Location: Albany Creek QLD Posted 02/01/04 04:37 AM Share Posted 02/01/04 04:37 AM We did the rounds this morning and we bought a Mazda 2 for my wife to drive. We got 3 k discount , roof spoiler 6 stack CD and alloys and didnt try to hard, mats for nothing , full tank of petrol and a loan car with EVERY SERVICE whilst we own it!.BTW the service was fantastic and the finsish on this car for less than 50% of the XR is sensational.Not bad for a 20k car...............BTW I measured it. The boot with the seats down has more cargo space than the Pajero it replaces. And it has a much leg room as the XR! in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not about to have another one in the family with no breath...The deal on the focus wasnt good enough as usual the salesman was take or leve it and SWMBO didnt like the edgy styling either. Loan car at service?. Ford you have to be kidding.LOK: Now do you do a chip for Mazda 2I need 240KW..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDH Member 84 Member For: 21y 11m 18d Posted 02/01/04 06:07 AM Share Posted 02/01/04 06:07 AM An XR and a Mazda 2...just like our garage.The 2 is a good drive - it doesn't accelerate like a REAL car, but it surprised me just how well the thing steers.And it can be fun in its own way - when taking it for its first service (SWMBO doesn't do that...) I upset the sensibilities of a guy in a turbo Supra by overtaking him in what is a bright orange "girl's car"...he stormed back past me at a huge rate of knots (I reckon my car was running on the unburnt fuel pouring out his exhaust), straight past one of the almost-permanent camera vans on the M1.Hope it was worth it for him - it sure made me laugh.GDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum is sorta looking at a few that she likes like the astra hatch, mazda 2 etc. and I was just wondering on what your opinion of the mazda 2 is. is it plenty gutsy? Mum likes the mazda's because her friend got a black protege shades and it impressed hjer on how good it was put together etc. Another option is the feb. mazda 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
