Company car

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Company car - stated good on fuel and 2.2 engine so better fuel allowance

What was the dealer like?

Had no dealings.

What's it like to drive?

Very Very disappointing - accelration from stand still or whilst crusing is very poor for a car that states 180 bhp feels more like 125 bhp. Overall no better to drive than a ford mondeo 2.0 tdci, unsure what is meant by the sporty drive, this is not the case at all. Advertising and reviews for this car could not be any further from the truth.

What's it like to park?

As like most larger cars.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes- after owning for one week and 475 miles later car broke down whilst on motorway. Broke down 21-5-10 and 2 1/2 weeks later still waiting for faulty lambda sensor-no help or any phone calls from maxda uk or the dealer

What's most practical about your car?

Good cabin size and boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Good equipment level with this car, blue tooth works well good sound system.
