Its a 116d, he told me we was afraid of RWD and tax and wanted to start out easy.

As I know what it is well wear MM

On the Mazda 2.3 it is a thirsty beast they have a nice pull from the engine.
The certain estate is an 04 and a really nice car does need refurbed alloys.

For an 02 no matter what the miles it is worth no more then €1500 MAX.
Reliability wise they are good, plastic on the dash is a bit nasty.

MetzgerMeister

OK lads, it's a rebadged 320d :pac:

Alanstrainor

You'd think you'd have washed it before taking those pics:p

To be honest, I need to do a job on the exhaust tips. They're not as bad as they look in that pic, the car is in the shade so the black on them looks worse.

You do know that the figures you gave there are the exact same thing?!

It says 2979 on the disc so taxed as a 3ltr. It's twin turbo 300bhp (remappable to 380 with no mods or 400 with a different exhaust) and the price is my business :P I will say that I didn't pay over or under the odds in my opinion.

gollywog

Best kept secret of all time lol!
Well wear man, she's stunning, delighted for ya

well now you will be a poor man! all your pocket money will be spent on this! GL with your new toy bud.

CianRyan

So you sold your 2.3l turbo to save on fuel and tax and for this, you get a 3l twin turbo?
You don't seem to get this, MM.

Lovely car, go clean it!

dar83

CianRyan

I never said I REALLY wanted to save on fuel and tax. That was a total and utter piss take to put ye all off track and my God did it work (except for SH and 166man)

With regard to mpg, the 335 is actually a lot better on fuel. I averaged 38mpg from Dublin home with cruise set at 130km/h. It used FECK ALL compared to the Mazda which used half a tank going up with cruise again set at 130km/h. There's a lot to be said for a lighter, more aerodynamic car and engineering.

Alan knows better than to ban me :pac:

CianRyan

Well ya had me fooled, ya prick!
You gonna keep it as is or squeeze out the extra 80/100 bhp?
That's serious power!
