Hello everyone,new to all this,brief history,lived in Menorca Spain for the last seven years,come back due to family commitments,grandchildren etc,wanted a car with a bit of grunt,but not too expensive running wise.Bought a brand new civic type r gt,hated it with a passion,only getting 27 mpg,without having fun,it cost me 18,000 seemed a reasonable deal.last week drove past my local Mazda dealer in Fleetwood,saw their 3mps demo in white,took it for a drive loved it,we haggled for a week,ended up my car plus 2500,I got my tax back on the type r and got them to fill up the mps with Shell v power,that was about seventy quid,I thought it was a reasonable deal,and the insurance is cheaper than the type r,no doubt if I was ripped someone will tell me.had a few fast cars in the past it will be interesting to see how this rates.
