Bunta Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Anna has decided she likes the Mazda SP23, seems like it would tick most of the boxes too. Going to have a look around a few of these. Any one know anything about them? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/374950-mpsxr5golf/page/8/#findComment-6005845 Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.C Ren Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 that honda definatly looks like a whales mouth, wouldnt touch a vw as servicing and parts are a joke, dont even think about an astra vxr, never seen a car with so many problems in my life, the mazda is cool, but my vote goes out to the xr5 with leather, nice quick little cars out of the box, nice big 5 cyl engine and an all round cool car, black with black leather.

Bunta Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Boring, whale mouth? I was meaning Mechanically. Acceleration figues, comfort and space are all up to the mark, I dont like how they look that much but I dont really give a shit as I have my GTR for when I feel like driving a car that I like the look of!

M.C Ren Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 well i agree with you there, i have always liked the way a honda drives, just dont like the look of any of their post 2002 cars, the euro isnt too bad Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/374950-mpsxr5golf/page/8/#findComment-6006983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev210 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 a friend is selling a Renaultsport clio 172, it needs a few things for roadworthy though and it scares me as I have no idea what parts for them cost Good cars. Go around corners and brake very well. Mine has a Group N ecu and an exhaust. Has done 14.2 1/4 mile at the motorplex. 6-ish L / 100km. Fun to drive , even around town. For the dollars they are good value performance. Being a very light car, relative cheap tyre and brake costs for track day use.

xALmoN Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 and there you have it, the clios handle well and stuff.. of course they have a funny shaped sump plug that you need a special tool for, its square or so i've heard, and then, you need the computer to reset the bloody "service your car" notification, or is that only for the 2006 and up renaults?

Being a very light car, relative cheap tyre and brake costs for track day use. Whats the reliability like? What ever car we get will be doing a lot of short trips around town for Annas business. Her being able to jump in it and get where she is going everytime is really important too.

Bunta Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 At this point we are leaning towards the SP23. Anna likes the huge amount of room it has. The seats are comfy, the aircon is good as is the sound system (Compared to the GTR with no radio or aircon it is heaven) and the performance is good enough too.

ARTZ Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 yeah the only thing missing on the sp23 is a turbo other than that its a great little well equiped car..the missus and I were almost convinced to buy one till we realized we could buy a fully optioned luxury Accord for the same money..

ARTZ Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 back seats fold down in accord but I understand the mazda is more a young persons car, its very trendy these days..we cop some flac for having an old peoples car but its a dream to drive and was owned by a grandpa churchgoer before us..the stereo was disconnected due to his religous beliefs...
