Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
This is a great looking car, fast, economical, it handles great and all the bells and whistles. It's also fatally flawed.I'm talking about the 2.2 skyactiv D sportNav+ 175bhp and any car with the Skyactiv D engine. In a nutshell, we bought the car with 60K on the clock and had 30k of owning a seemingly perfect car. However, despite meticulous servicing all well within the specified schedule, always using the most expensive Mazda specified oil and filters, at around 90K the car threw up the red aladdin's lamp which was apparently due to a clogged oil pickup. We had this remedied and all was fine for another 3k then, low and behold, it happended again. After another roadside recovery, this time on advice we had the injector seals replaced and were told that all would be well. Well, another 4k and the red oil light came on again and the car just lost all power and cut out (imagine being in the fast lane on the M25!). This time due to a snapped oil pump chain, Mazda want over £2000 just to replace the chain but as there's a good chance that catastrophic engine damage may have occured, in which case they've also provisionally quoted £8696 for the repair. That is more than the car's worth!
This is the worst car I have ever owned.This car cannot be considered a viable form of transport due to these issues and I will never buy another Mazda...Ever.
