Soundwave Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Took my dad to pick up his new (used) car today after purchasing it last week. I don't think I've ever seen him so enthusiastic about... well, anything! It's a 2018 Mazda 6 estate. Loads of kit on it. 🙂 Modern cars aren't generally my thing but even I think it's a good looking car. privatewire, Dyslexic Viking, rainagain and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jury seems to be out on that one. Some maintain the issues were fixed somewhere between 2016-17, others say even the newer ones will fail, they just last a bit longer before going boom.

Somehow managed to fuck up the whole trip yesterday afternoon, by getting cross about something. And today. Taking down the tent, I put myself in the Haverfordwest minor injuries unit, to have my head glued, after I ripped my whole scalp off on the boot lid.

LightBulbFun Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 messing with a temporary insurance provider (Veygo) @Crackers mentioned to me and which looks to be a more flexible provider then Cuvva is seems to be happy to quote me on @Six-cylinder's 50 year Toledo which is very interesting! especially such their own rules state the car has to be under 30 years old but I wonder if they are just saying "needs to be less than 30 years old" because most vehicles older than that, just dont play nice with computer systems or is their own quotation system broken? LOL I know Cuvva say nothing older then 20 years, and will point blank refuse to quote anything older then 20 years even if it does find it admittedly I have not been able to take it all the way, so it might just say right at the end "Oh hang on its over 30 years old so Jog on" but still quite amusing that it is quoting me LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustratingly, Veygo will allow you to generate a quote with all the details you want, and will only throw you back out when you try to get to the payment page.

Bollocks, but I figured such, Thanks for saving me the ball ache of it all! as they say "if its too good to be true, it probably is" still quite amusing in a very much me sort of way, to chuck different cars at it to see what it will attempt a quote on it will "quote" KXA221F but it wont do TMY265F, despite them both ADO16's of the same age (I wonder if thats because KXA has a Cat marker on it, so the insurance system already knows all its details?) Curiously it comes up as a "BASE/VANDAN PLAS" like those are the same or something LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came very close to buying one in 2018 instead of the petrol Avensis I did get (and only had for a year), but the problem for me was the 19" wheels and shallow tyres on the more powerful, higher-spec versions - not sure how well they'd have lasted on the country roads I use. Also no spare wheel of any sort as I recall. I still find it of interest, especially with the 2.5 engine now available, but the same concerns apply. Hats off to Mazda for still having a decent-size 'normal' estate in their range, there isn't much choice away from the German makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
