Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Tidy! It was nimble and was rapid around Snowdon although at the mercy of lower mpg figures.
What's it like to park?
Window area tapers towards the rear of the car with a tunnel effect from the inside. The flared front wheel-arches and lack of parking sensors (they aren't available as an option according to the brochure) don't help. The SL has front and rear sensors as standard.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No, but the handbrake is by the side of the passenger seat by bottle holders so you have to put your arm over them to reach it. I suspect that Mazda haven't adapted, or bothered to alter this for right-hand drive.
What's most practical about your car?
It's size and agility. The CF-Net steering controls are handy.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Smart keyless entry.
