Mazda Xedos 9 Reviews - Page 3 of 3

Badly designed boot opening, the boot gets soaked when you open it, a common problem with most cars though!

Awful noise as if a rear rear bearing was broken, but on replacing wheel bearings the noise still existed.

Very, very thirsty. I could watch the petrol meter drop! This was probably due to my driving.

I found the Xedos 9 to be solid, very luxurious, and impressive.

It's a rare car which people notice and think "what is that?"

I bought the car for just over £3,000, now that's an awful lot of car for your money!

External coolant pipes have failed requiring almost the engine dismantled to replace.

Knocks in the front suspension cannot be found.

Tyre wear is heavy.

Generally a reliable car, but really let down by sluggish performance, poor automatic - by no means a drivers car!

Fuel economy also very poor.

Great interior and takes all the kids throw at it, then cleans up well. Seats not good over long distances though.

Very quiet inside at any speed.

Nothing.

I love my Xedos.

After the BMW I just find it a more "interesting" car and a lot more comfortable, and there are very few of them on the Irish roads, so they are somewhat unique to own.

I just adore the roar from the V6 engine when the pedal is to the board, and it doesn't half move when she kicks in especially on overtaking.

My only negative comments would be that after owning a German built car, I find the Mazda build quality is that bit inferior.

Things like the noise when closing the doors - there is not the same "thud" as the German cars, and the plastic sound when using the levers on the steering column.

The resale value in this country is crazy. A Xedos 9 is IR£37,000 new and I picked mine up for just IR£16,500 with 30,000 miles on the clock.

But it is definitely a super car, and I hope to be upgrading to a newer model this year. The Miller engine sounds excellent.

Nothing at all.

The Xedos 9 is clearly one of the nicest and underated cars on the road. I have had no problems with my car and covered 40K miles in a year and a half. Great and highly recommended car. Low speed performance is a bit sluggish, my one and only negative point.

Front suspension knock at low ambient temperatures 4C or lower. Can't find cause.

Engine & auto box out of this world.

Finish generally very good.

Seats could be more comfortable.

Steering adjustment unsatisfactory.

A step up from my Vauxhall Elite.
