My Car sager

[DaveM]

Well you all by now know the issues I was having with my car lately " https://www.triumphtalk.com/index.php/topic,2895.15.html ". Well I traded it in today on a new Mazda 6 very nice car I must admit :y18:

Here are a few photos of the car http://www.mazda.co.za/servlet/ContentServer?cid=1137386305433&pagename=Page&site=MSA&c=DFYPage

Nice choice and a great looking cage! :y115: Now all you have to do is pay for it! :y114:

Yup, good looking car Dave
Hope it treats you better than the last one. :ya2:

That's the very car I was looking at just over a year ago when I was shopping for a new vehicle. They are a great car and very reliable from what I hear.
My former car was a Ford Escort which is built for Ford by Mazda and it ran and ran and ran.
I think you'll be very happy with your choice.

Nice car, but when i look at it im just can't help but see a used honda civic and a new triumph thunderbird. :ya2: :ya2: :ya2: :ya2:

Great looking car Dave. I had an old MX3 that served me very well for several years....kind of bullet proof like Toyotas and Hondas....good choice....best of luck with it.

Now....as Carl said.....all you have to do is pay for it, but being the independently wealthy gentleman that you are, I'm sure that will be no problem. :ya2:

I will keep my 2001 Ford Ranger until if falls apart. I am only willing to spend money on motorcycles.

I hear you, Brother. :y115:

 

[DaveM]

Thank's all well as it is partly a business car and I use it for this I need good reliable transport. This is now my 5th Mazda and I have been equally happy with each one that I have owned

Dave,

That's a nice motor, and the steering wheels on the correct side too!

Enjoy.

Ok nice to meet a Mazda man. My Mom had an 89 MX6 and it was a bit of a hot rod. Sold it last year and it had......wait for it........ 43,000 miles on it.

 

[CarlS]

Geeze, it was just broken in!

 

[DaveM]

 

[CarlS]

Dave, I was serious. I have 140,000 miles on my F-350 and Mae Lyne has 110,00 miles on her F-150.

 

[DaveM]

Just goes to show if you look after your stuff it should last :y18:

Very nice car. Madzas always seemed to have more class than the other Japanese makes, and I admired their attempt to popularize the rotary wankel engine. As I recall, they never successfully solved the overheating problems that limited engine size; isn't the rotary still offered in a Mazda sports car?

When I bought my new 1998 Chevy CK2500 Cheyenne LWB 4x4 pickup, I told everyone it would be the last pickup I ever bought (in my rural area, pickups are rode hard and put up wet, so they rarely last more than 3 years). It is now 11 years old, but only has 32,000 miles on it and I expect it to easily outlast me. I'm a 1948 model with millions of miles on my OD.

 

[DaveM]

Yes I think the one sports model still has a rotary 1.3L if I remember correctly. Here is quite a cool look at the motor http://www.mazda.com/mazdaspirit/rotary/16x/
