tockly Member 16 Member For: 21y 3m 26d Posted 22/02/04 09:32 PM Share Posted 22/02/04 09:32 PM Hi all,If anyone is looking for a new car for the wife, have a look at the new Mazda 3. Very nice little car.We are looking at one as my wife doesn't (thankfully) like driving the XR.The little Mazda has some features that I wish were in the XR, things like Climate Air. And as we have a seven month old son, three mounting points for the car seat, not just one in the middle, which is a real pain.Here in NZ the guy I am dealing with has sold 15 in one week, and they were only lauched a week ago. They have almost sold all the stock until the next shipment at the end of April... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mazda 3 isnt bad for a small car and its hard to beat mazda build quality.The BA does have 3 mounting points across the back shelf; there should be a plastic plug on each side hiding the other mounting points, its only the middle point that comes with the anchor hook.

Everything in it including leather and C/C air. Good pre-sales and after sales service! The parent company could learn one or two things about this.

sykes Member 408 Member For: 21y 5m 23d Location: Brisbane (Parkinson) Posted 23/02/04 01:12 AM Share Posted 23/02/04 01:12 AM Yeh the Mazda's are nice cars. My wife also has the Mazda 6 Luxury Sports, and it is a fantastic car. A friend of ours has just bought the new SP23 and I tell you what, very nice and doesn't go too bad either. I am thinking seriously about looking at the RX8 for my next car. Depending on what Ford does in the next 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice looking car too.There's apparently a lot of people out there that believe the Mazda 6 is a six cylinder car.A V6 in a Mazda 6... now I'd like to see that...
