The driver's side electric window now shudders when lowering. Mazda dealers say it's a motor beginning to fail, however they say the whole window regulator needs to be replaced at a cost of £300 approx.
The automatic transaxle (gearbox) has broken at 101,000 miles. No Mazda dealer in the republic will touch it - they no nothing about automatics. I have taken it to a specialist who will rapair and refit, or replace, at a total cost of £1,500.00.
DRIVING: Quite powerful, great acceleration, sticks to the road yet the suspension absorbs bumps quite easily making it very comfortable on long journeys.
LOOKS: Sleek and understated. Doesn't seem to have aged compared to similar year Mercedes' and BMW+'s. Could be a classic if it lives.
EQUIPMENT: Electric windows & sunroof, central locking, ABS, leather seats, first aid & tool kits, alloy wheels (including full-size spare alloy).
COMFORT: Extremely comfortable, however if you are six foot or higher, headroom is reduced by the sunroof and is quite tight. Rear legroom with the front seat pulled fully back is also quite tight.
DEALERS: I'd hate to have paid £25,000 for new one only to be shunned by dealers who know nothing about automatics.
Just realised your previous car was a Mitsubishi Colt. So was mine. Just aquired a Xedos. Must have similar good tastes!
