Just thought I would say Hi!  I will be changing my wife's car eventually (could be 6 months away yet!) when the finances stack up for getting rid of a 2006 Merc A class which has been a right royal pain in the rear! Loads of problems in the first 12 months and crazy servicing schedules which cost a bomb! Shame really as it is a nice looking car.  I have done a load of research and dragged the wife round countless garages to determine which is the one that she would like and the Mazda 2 is the clear winner, she is really impressed after viewing a silver TS2 in a showroom at the weekend but wants trip computer, auto lights and wipers so it needs to be a sport. Would really like a 1.3 Sport for but that is not available so its looking like a 1.5 Sport in Black so fingers crossed that is what we will have. Thanks for reading and will be asking lots of silly questions for sure! Cheers |

Welcome to the forum!
Yeah your best option is the 1.5 if you looking for the add ons as it actually works out a much better deal then picking add ons to the 1.3

Hi, Thanks for the welcome!
I am planning on buying new although I would consider something 6-12 months old if the price is right. I have found a nice 1.5 Sport at Perry's in Metallic blue for £10200'ish with 10K miles but the time is not right just yet so I will keep looking around.
Do anyone know of any plans for expanding the model range?
Cheers

If not you should fit it No, I like the M sport bumpers and sills which could be retro-fitted but I do not like the sport seats, sport suspension and loads of M badges everywhere when it is not a proper M car, so it seemed pointless having the M sport version so opted for an SE instead. The ride can be quirte harsh in an M Sport not helped by run flat tyres so the SE set-up works well IMHO. Interestingly the M Sport is heavier than an SE therefore it will be 'marginally' slower!! |

Hmm here the M package includes rims, side skirts and front - rear bumbers! Actually it's not the original M package it's just a commercial trick!
