  • Private purchase – warranty

    Good morning, maybe you can help me. I bought a Mazda MX 5 from a private salesman on 18.10.2016. At that time he was 10 years old and had 193,000 km down. Due to the age and the kilometers driven the seller sold the car as a hobbyist car. Last week the car had a breakdown. The starter and the ignition lock is broken. The repair would cost 1500 €. The car cost 2650 €. The repair is not worthwhile. I don’t know what that means. Now to my questions: – Does the defect from the starter and ignition lock apply as a hidden defect? – Does the seller have to stick for it, since there are not yet 6 months around? – Can I return the car to the private seller? – Does the clause with the hobby car protect it? – Is there a precise definition of the hobby car? I blackened my purchase contract once and put it in the attachment. Thank you Chrischi MX5

  • Your Mx-5 Road Trip experiences and routes

    Hello everyone, I wanted to ask you about your trip on a longer road trip with your mx-5 and what your experiences were like? Start and destination of your trip and where did you sleep, above all:P hotel, campsite, couchsurfing, etc. Do you have any recommendations what you should necessarily have with you and what makes life easier for you on the trip. I went from Neuss to Istanbul to my aunt without taking any major stops. I’d like to make a Europe road trip at some point and leave me some time with it. Asia would be a dream but not comfortable with an Mx-5 😛 I’m curious about your contributions.

  • Sunshade ND side not rotatable – ideas?

    Hello everybody, I’m new here. We want to buy a used MX-5 ND. On a test drive I notice that the sun visor can no longer be unplugged and turned to the side window. Was possible with an earlier predecessor model (of course). Does anyone know a way to convert this? I am grateful for every answer!

  • Start / stop is ….. Scrap ….

    Morsche, is it just me? I find the start/stop automatic scrap …. have already driven many cars, but at the ND it only bothers …. Do you know how I can turn on and turn off my car ? With the heating / climate. Summer: climate on, start-stop is almost never going on (well open, temperature of the outside world will probably never sink down on the one I set, then the engine stays on for safety reasons ….) Winter: heating turned high, car goes off almost never. r traffic lights stand, I sometimes have fun and turn the heating from the red to the red/blue area, then the engine starts …. whow …. General: Distribution on windshield: Start/stop never attacks. Climate (even in winter), Start/stop attacks almost never Is too thin honestly said, I mean it is clear that the climate can no longer do its job when the engine is off, but is the start/stop not more important than 30-50 sec long air-conditioned air ? Do I know a Is it just me? Yes, I like my car, but another thing is real garbage (I’ve mentioned it before), since there is a start button, you can’t turn off the engine and leave the ignition at level 1 …. so if you have a key, that would be the first step in which the lights are turned on. Why is this important? Call Bluetooth while you’re driving, then arrive somewhere and turn off the engine, the BT connection is immediately g and the conversation automatically on your mobile phone. Sometimes you might want to do that, but sometimes you don’t….

  • Mazda 6 – What impression do you have?

    Hello, I now had a Mazda 6 1.8 combo with comfort equipment as a replacement car, because I had my Xedos in the workshop. The ABS sire at the front left was moved and led to errors in the ABS system. Did someone actually have this before? I really can’t explain how this can happen. Well but back to the topic. So I found the Mazda 6 already great. First of all it looks great. I was also enthusiastic about the chassis. I was really great on the road. D he steering is very direct, but I don’t feel like a disadvantage, you can get used to it. The station wagon is nice and spacious and there is enough space on the back seat. The 1.8er with 120hp does not necessarily tear shreds out of the asphalt but is sufficiently strong. What shocked me is the comfort equipment. That’s quite thin. Not even eFh back. What really creeped me was the plastic steering wheel, but for the higher equipment there is then a leather steering wheel – a This makes me disgusted, even if I have to drive a barrenly equipped pass. Also details like e.g. 2 illuminated make-up mirrors are missing (well that’s not what I need in the Xedos so I miss it) Is there actually in the higher equipment lines? I felt a bit unhappy about the heating/ventilation and radio control. It steers too much off. And then there was this silver-colored center console which with the car with about 7,000km nevertheless not This didn’t leave a particularly good impression. All in all, a successful car, except for the somewhat unsuccessful operation, a few missing details and the somewhat inferior-looking center console. Well, it’s not a Xedos, but a consideration is worth the car – especially if I need a Pampers bomber. What kind of impression do you have about the Mazda 6?

  • Buy Mazda 626 Coupe 90/91

    Hello Mazda fans, I would like to buy a 90’s or 91’s Mazda 626 Coupe within the next 4 weeks. Either the GD 2.2 116 hp or the GT 2.0 140 hp. The 2.2 is a 12V, the 2.0 a 16V, right? What about the two engine variants with durability, performance and consumption? Is it true that the 2.2 is a Mazda own development (taken over by Ford for the sample 1) and with the 2.0 Ford the hands in the game had? Are there weak points with these according to ADAC very good results. Awesome vehicles? I am looking for a well-kept max. from 2nd hand. Big thanks!

  • Mazda 6 Problem

    Hi guys ! I have a question to all Mazda 6 owners. I bought myself 10 days ago new Mazda 6. Last week I noticed when you let go of the steering wheel pulls the car to the right the same thing happened while braking and starting is not strong but always my 11 year old Mondeo did not have the problem.I was at the dealer there the track was adjusted again. According to the settings everything should be great but not. Dealer statement here:”it’s all with some cars are more sensitive than the others when it comes to road inclinations etc. What do you say about it.Has someone had a similar problem? If so please give you trouble and write couple words. MfG Entlöschter M6 driver

  • Has anyone ever driven the new M6 combi?

    Moin together, maybe someone has already driven the new Mazda 6 station wagon and can describe his impressions of space/room feeling in particular? Since now sliding doors are no longer absolutely necessary, I would like to switch from a van to a station wagon or SUV. Especially important to me are the space conditions in the rear (fair itself 1.98 m and the children are not exactly small with 1.95 + 1.75m). The space conditions in the new V70 (our previous favorite) are unfortunately at full speed. So far, the space conditions were only good enough in the rear of the Santa Fe, Outlander/C crosser. Falled out already Tiguan, X3 and old C5 combi, as well as the old V70. Passat, Mondeo, new C5, and A6 are still in sight. Greetings from the north Marten

  • Webasto auxiliary heater

    Hello, I don’t really know what to do now, and I hope someone can give me some good advice here. Vehicle: Mazda 6 GH Diesel Built 2008 My problem: My heating is via my Webasto remote control, but it only comes out cold air, or the vehicle does not get warm. The car was bought by me used, in the invoices of the previous owner I discovered an invoice, where a Webasto Telestart T91 heater was installed. In 2014 the water pump was supplied by the standing heater. Now I was at a Webasto installation operation today, where I was told that they could not do anything, because the control unit is the stationary heater of Mazda. I then drove to the Mazda dealer next door and told them so. I was told that they had the whole thing done with Webasto installation operation in case of such errors. The control unit was read out, but there were no mistakes. Then was sent back to the Webasto installation operation. I was told again that this is Mazda’s and that they can’t read out anything. If I understand that right now, my car has an ex-works heater, which can be turned on from a distance with a Webasto control unit, so that the interior and engine can get warm without the car being on, right? Mazda’s mechanic had told me that he didn’t hear any ignition. Maybe one of you could tell me where the problem could be and which workshop would repair it. Because the two workshops don’t seem to like it.

  • Mazda Tweaks – “Tuning of the MZD”

    Hello guys! I wanted to ask you if you’ve been busy with the Tweaks before! If that’s not a concept, I’ll explain it briefly With Tweaks you can adjust the MZD Connect. The program for this is “MZD AIO”. Using a tool you drag the adjustments to a USB stick and then insert them in the car. The adjustments are then made automatically. These Tweaks can also be deleted easily. I have the following “refitted”: – No more Navi message, that In addition, you can change the background for example and make many other adjustments. Especially Android Auto and the video player are very nice! Now I can be navigated alternatively with google maps. If you don’t dare to install apps on the MZD, you can alternatively use the app “Smart MZD Player”. There is no need to install anything on the MZD. runs via a stick and smartphone. With this app you can also play videos and transfer the screen of the smartphone to the screen of the car. This also allows you to use Google Maps. Have you already gained experience?
