buy a mazda premacy sport they look nice.
im not slating non jap cars but i still think reliability you cont beat jap.
my friend has had about 5-6 cars all brought from small dealers all the cars he had, had problems with em.
ranging from
bmw
ford
3 seats
the newest cars hes had was a seat ibiza cupra tdi 07 and that was running very lumpy and wouldnt idle correctly.
the current cars hes just got is a audi a3 3.2v6 04 plate 70k on the clock. already it has leaked oil, uses coolant , service lights popping up.
my dad has a 11 year old mazda premacy with about 120k on the clock , not borken down once (touch wood) and only need a clutch n one drop link replacing .
personally id stick with japanese cars
