iv had 2 mazda 52.0 tdsport all ready in 4 months ,wrote the first one off a scubby doo last it in to a round about at 60 mph sideways in to me to say side airbags work anyway gotnew one with a few upgrades auto headlights and wipers so not all bad,been very happywith it so far no problems with this one just put some new rims on gone for 18 inch over the stock 17 inch wheels will try post some pictures soon. anyone needing the stock alloys let me know or will ebay them onlyseen 600 miles so a barginout there for someone

 

It appears that the problems we are having with excessive tyre wear comes from the 17 inch wheels. I would be very wary about putting 18 inch wheels on. They will probably wear even worse, and Mazda will not be in any way interested in compensating you when they do....

 

 

what do you think to the pictures the scooby hit me side on at about 60 mph no serious injuries tomyself orthe passenger i will say im very impressed with the car safety. i have a new mazda 5 now as you can see in the pictures with my new rims that i got for xmas a big thank you to mrs o (love you) for my present .

 

I'm really glad there were no serious injuries from the crash, it looks horrendous! I now know why we went for this car, safety and sliding doors
