When will it all be over??
Sorry but I have to vent, this car is giving me the *****!!! 
Rebuilt gearbox, new motor, new plugs, new starter motor, new throttle position sensor, new battery all in the last two months and nowwwwwww whilst in at the dealer getting the new battery fitted, some f@#$er in a 4WD ran the mechanic off the road during the road test causing him to hit the gutter. The nice bluestone brick ones, and damaged the front rim!! Happened right out front of dealership. Dealer called police and are checking through security camera footage for the persons rego. Dealer have been good and supplied me with car till they repair/replace damage but when will this run of bad luck end????

It's Silver I tell you! Silver!....
It's not the curse of the Winning Blue. [damn you xxup 
]
Silver is the cursed colour. Yellow would be too but there just aren't enough of them. :p
Lexic, I feel for you mate. With the exception of my rear end attracting too close attention, my '8's been reliable (if thirsty).
It is a shame that lemon laws don't exist here. Have you tried pressurising Mazda Australia.

I wish we had "Lemon" laws here. Surely that car should have been replaced outright by now?
