Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Bubble was her name....Faults were her game.. O2 sensor on exhaust system within warranty it went 3 times, Post warranty, engine warning light frequently illuminated..various random faults usually o2 sensor, more recently catylitic converter. Ignition leads needed replaced, more recently, clutch cable keeps slipping of pedal (similar fault with recalled fiesta)however Mazda won't recall!but Bubbles demise is a timing belt slip, taken out the valves and poss cylinder head with it, timing belt only needs replaced every 10y or 150000 miles but MAzda adv no fault if it slips only if it snaps.Estimate of £1000 to fix and as cat now worth less that £2000 not worth it! Never ever again!!
