New to this site, possible future 3 MPS owner?

Excellent, thanks for that

Do you know if the BL Series 1 brought back issues (seeing as it was a whole new car) compared to the BK series 2? From what you've said, and what I've read, I think I'll likely be looking for a late model BK or an early model BL (my budget doesn't stretch to a later model BL unfortunately). I prefer the exterior of the BK, but the interior of the BL, but I'm slowly also warming up to the exterior of the BL

Really not sure.

There are a couple of threads here where owners discuss issues they've had, that's prob a good place to start.

Mazda 3 MPS Gen I problems you have had, warranty fixes

Mazda 3 MPS Gen II problems you have had, warranty fixes


Good luck in your search.

Have you checked my car out in the for sale section of this forum? 13500km approx. prestine condition. Car is still available. Price negotiable!!

Heya, just looked at it. A bit above my price range, and probably not ready to seriously look until march next year (wedding end of February!) unless I find a deal I absolutely can't refuse!


Fook.

Welcome to the forum

I too really like the BK exterior but was in the market for a new car so went with the Gen 2 (BL) in Dec 09 and have never looked back . It was love at first test drive, I gave the SP25 a quick spin but it never had a chane really .

I've had a few teething issues with mine, mould grew behind the sat nav screen (replaced under wry and ll ok now), and. Problem with inner tyre wear, going though a set of tyres in 19,000km, but I've replaced the ZoEM tyres with KU36's, rotate them every 5,0000 and keep the pressure at 40 in the front and 38 in th rear, and so far, all is good with no uneven wear. Even with these issues, I'd still never give her up .

Good luck with your decision
