Hi, I’m thinking about buying a convertible as a new vehicle in winter (for the coming spring). Due to the price/performance, only two are actually in question: Mini Cooper Cabrio Mazda MX-5 with steel roof I’m not yet a danger, but I’m going to make it in the foreseeable future. For me, only the 2-litre models are in question: which is more suitable for everyday use and long-distance travel? To what extent does the MX-5 pay for Comfort due to the Billstein chassis? And vice versa, how much sportiness does e r with the standard chassis? What I don’t like at all are the MX-5, with which a child’s head fits into the wheel box. Are these only the 1.8l variants or is the 2l-5 course just as low/high? I would like to have a convertible, with which I can also ride 800km on holiday (small trunk is aware, that is no problem), without having a disc incident afterwards. Therefore I tend to the Recaro seats as well. What is your opinion on the topic? Which would do you prefer under the requirements? For me the steel roof speaks above all for the MX-5, because I have no fixed parking space, skilful because a garage. Still remains somehow the image, which is attached to the MX-5, but is probably similar with the mini…

cheated on buying used cars
My wife and I bought on Saturday a used M2 ez 10.2003 with 17000km for 6200,-.The dealer (no Mazda dealer) kindly pointed out that the fender at the front left was LACKED.During the test drive we noticed that the car was running very well, nothing striking.Nevertheless, we drove by the TÜV for a short time.Everything in order, nothing striking said there.So, something traded and bought… In the purchase contract shouted b the dealer, however, BLECHSCHADEN (NO FRAMEWORK). We thought nothing about it. For fun I only googled after the previous owner, was very difficult and with good luck I found him.He confirmed to me now,(my pulse was at this time on more than 200) that his wife had an accident with it.You were taken the lead ie. fender left, bumper, axle.The wheel was probably very wrong.The report certifies a damage of over 3000,- but repairable….. What now???????Pech g We’re sure the dealer knew about it…In the contract there is tin damage.He said that only repainting was possible. There you look for 4 months after nem used drive to the TÜV, check for the breakdown statistics and now that…. People…..always make the previous owner think we can do something besides him preferably turn his neck????Do we legally have any chance??? Has anyone experienced similar???? Since my wife is traveling with it I don’t contact the dealer until next week, or???? helps me thank you

Mazda’s all rusting
I was with my M3 to the 2 thirst-seeing and see also my cart gammelt. build year 2006! also with me must be made doors new and the next what comes then are the wheel boxes. I can only advise anyone to buy some fucking rust-cart. don’t let yourselves be fooled by the panning statistics also other cars are good but rust not as fast as mazdas. so leuts I can only warn you buy no rust-casket. for me it was the 1st and last mazda!! it’s an unshame-casket it the mazde boasts how long their carts drive but that the crates after 1-2 years already rust away under the ass that’s the last one!I can only advise anyone who wants to buy a car then it’s yours since rust fetishists. I really miss the words for such a sour work by mazde!!

MX-5 Repurchase – Questions
Hello together, I’m considering getting a MX-5 Roadster coupé and have some open questions – maybe you can help me with one or the other.. 1) Is there any owner of this model or people who have driven it for a long time? Any basic remarks, problems, praise, criticism? 2) have read here various critical comantares for the 6-speed gearbox – is this also a topic for the current model? Will this part be tested this week? n, but is there any general knowledge about this? 3) has someone driven the Eibach chassis (“lowering kit”? The 2.0-litre models already have a sports suspension, right? Putting it down again (especially in fixed combination with 18″ tyres) seems to me a bit too much of a good thing. I like a tight suspension and it doesn’t make me feel anything from ground waves.. but I don’t want to lift on every bigger one.. 4) does someone have the dome strut? Recommended or rather not? 5) has someone br What is typed, experiences? 6) Any experiences / problems with the glass wind bulkhead? Looks a lot better than the small plastic part.. and the textile wind bulkhead probably swallows a lot of light.. At night rather opaque (?) quite dear thanks already.. -mcw

Golf 4 against Mazda Mx5?
Hey, so I’m still driving n Golf 4 TDI with the 90 HP machine, but it’s coming off soon for many reasons, which I don’t count now. I wanted to get a convertible now and thought of the MX5. Have already 2 in sight. To the 1st black 110 Ps 80.000 km 1 hand leather seats to the 2nd “racing” green 110 Ps 72,000 km 1 hand leather seats For more information I have to look again ^^… Know me now also ncits so really good with cars. Of the car itself I am always about only my dad thinks now that would be much too small. I’m just about 1.90 and wondering if it all fits like that? Otherwise I still have the Puegot 206 cc in “look out”, although the supposedly n woman’s car is, which interests me much less, but it is also said that he is not so well processed and drives spongy… so DRINGEND for your help! Thank you in advance!

Timing belt change 121
Hello, who can help me further. My daughter drives a MAZDA 121 year 1991. Key no. 1-010201, to 2-7118, to 3-4240015. Papa wants to change the timing belt on her car, but unfortunately I have no adjustment data. Can someone send me the data?

Really a good decision?
When I bought a Mazda 3 Active recently, I came across this page and unfortunately had to read a lot of problems about the 6 and 3. Did I make a wrong decision? “Hope not.” So I would be very calm if some of you had more positive reports about the vehicle. And what are the common problems with this model. Mazda 3 Active 1.6 Parking help complete Thank you in advance

Sell or not? aaargh?
So my 323BG Sedan 1.6 really runs like a sewing machine. Never had any problems etc. The following reperatures would still occur the next time. -New cooler (since many cracks[seat agents also never]) -New gearbox 2 gear goes almost never – heating hose is also defective (uuaahh cold in winter) – exhaust system is pully leaky already more front and in the middle of the car, than in the back. Actually I wanted to do all this again because I was really lucky with this car. he is just standing a beautiful car at our dealer I always wanted. A 91 Toyota Celica Gti with 105 hp. On the one hand I would buy this car immediately and make it up a little bit is also the youngest. And on the other hand I still hang on to my Mazda. Both are not possible. Were you already in such a mess?? mfg

Total failure after problem with undertouring gas release! MX3 V6 Built 1991
Hi guys, on the WE I drove through the city with a full-fueled car when I was too lazy in a traffic jam to switch down and the car swallowed up while gas was giving up. I kicked out the clutch and the engine went out. After I also knew the problem with falling into the hole when giving gas I thought I only had to restart. But that wasn’t. It was only the diligent starter who had to jerk me on the side stripes. About 3 hours later and several futile start Trying to reach the battery end the ADAC arrived. He jammed the start battery to the battery and the car jumped on. When the ADAC was gone I drove off to drive as fast as possible to my workshop. After approx. 100 m the same problem. It simply the engine went out while driving and did not let itself start again. Now I know no advice. Can someone help me perhaps? It is a MX3 V6 year 1991. A little bit of oil in the engine (under ‘min’, tank is half full, air filter w 2.000 km ago renewed, fuses are OK. I don’t know how old the spark plugs are.
