Mrs Roops Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Most Mazda 2's are based on the Ford Fiesta platform, though I'm not sure about the latest generation. I have a high regard for Mazda's now that they have their own full in-house development team. The latest Mazda's namely the 6, 3, and CX5 are impressive. Most Protons aside from the odd Citroen and Volvo rebadging jobs are re-skinned Mitsubishi Lancers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about this generation: Mitsubishi engine fusioned with the finest craftsmanship of the Malaysian jungle. I only really had it for a few months before getting the Mazda after passing my test and actually being able to drive legally, but it was used for many a trip to my dealers under the cover of darkness on the back roads, and I was never caught so it was the ultimate convenience in my eyes at the time.

Thing was very fancy for a 80's car - all electric windows and sunroof, tons of space in the back and those little pull down shade fabric thingies on the back windows - all the bells and whistles on the inside and yet only one windscreen wiper. I'd take an old fashioned style four door hatchback over one of those horrible people carriers any day - as soon as someone buys a people carrier they're basically giving their kids a golden ticket to smear sticky food residue all over the upholstery and make any experience you have in the thing miserable - they're out of the clouting range of the adults in front so the rear seats will descend into anarchy. Those fucking hydraulics were expensive when they went wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we scrapped ours after they gave up. I remember my sister being very sick every time she got in the thing due to the dodgy ride frequency.

Lots of people were paying out £200 for springs and paying a mechanic a century for putting them on. It was cheaper in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I had twins (planned) and then just a year later a third child (unplanned). Obviously I knew that. I was just testing you. As you were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Erroreptile404 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 If it's the Citroen i'm thinking of that looked like Thunderbird 2 with the all round Hydraulics that could lower itself, we had one of those when i was a kid but we didn't have it for very long.

I didn't really remember she'd said that before, I've got an above average memory, but I'm not completely K-Mart, like Bawsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
