Thanks for the welcome folks. Though my French is not up to much reading or responding elsewhere on this forum ;)

Little a écrit :

Everybody has noticed a grey Prodrive model on the right :)

Yes - I was a little peeved when I saw that as I had been looking for a good quality PZ or Anniversary edition before deciding to buy new again; this garage and the rx8oc had nothing in contention at the time of committing to the purchase; and I find this next to it on delivery a few days later! :??: :non:

...And the Galaxy Grey makes the Diamond Grey look Beige ;)

Yes folks - I do prefer the improvements made over the S1 - especially in the suspension department; the steering and "chuckability" is more direct without the initial slight "roll" at the front end which the S1 suffered (but still, never failed to grip!). Gearbox & Diff rations make the "pulling away" slightly more rapid :D

However, the gearbox is a shambles with the issues - nearly everybody has had 5th& 6th synchro issues (with Mazda UK denying there is any common problem!), and some problems with 2nd, 3rd, 4th as well.

I've just found to rusted-through spots on the roof too - which I need to get booked in before the warranty expires (though the bodywork should have a longer warranty period).

A bit late, but thanks for the compliments :-)

After I have cleaned the car a bit, I'll try to get some pictures of the inside. Looking a little bit tired now after 3 years - wear on the seat bolsters and some scratches & marks in the Piano Black trim :(
