Rank: Elder Joined: 6/27/2008 Posts: 4,114		I've been with a Mazda since 2002... a Familia. Handling - excellent; almost feel feels as if it is glued to the road. Performance - a bit sluggish on take-off but sustains motion quite well; auto gear shifting is also a bit late so it needs some nudging...if you know how to force the auto transmission to shift earlier Consumption - Town driving 8kpl; highway 12kpl... not bad for a 1998 car, is it? Servicing - no problems with usual filters, plugs etc. Spares - which spares? I've only changed the timing belt (from CMC, of course) and a water pipe [that was cut by a silly mechanic!]... but now I need rear shocks and so far I can't find them; though the guys at Auto Express said they will get some this month..... I should give them a call Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

I should give them a call Nice review for a 1998, I agree. If and when I do get myself one I want it to be a manual Mazda3 (Axela). I like its looks and I have seen mostly positive reviews of it.

I've driven a Mazda 6 but not for long because I got a sweet deal on a passat and traded it in, but I loved the few moments I shared with it. I love the Axela (or Mazda3) looks and sportiness. A friend of mine had the older Mazda familia and it was good. I would take it anytime over NZE. I have seen a couple of them on the road so it is a growing brand "Money never sleeps"

What i know for a fact is some Ford parts are compatible with some Mazda models to date. “People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one, and if you repeat it frequently enough, people will sooner or later believe it.” ― Walter C.
