If mpg is a concern then you've night the wrong car. Yes you can get decent mpg but let's be honest it's not the type of car that's bought for its fuel efficiency. Hope you get it sorted either way

Bit of an update .
mazda cannot find anything wrong with it other than the tyres (low tread) so they have ordered them in.
they will then test drive

OK the car is sorted according to mazda ,it was just the tyres.So i have 3 new avons put on . Didnt realise they was so tyre sensitive. its a shame that the payment only cleared at 4.50 so my dad couldnt go back and get it ,so the mrs will drop me off to work tomoz and my dad will pick me up in it

Yeah I know what you mean sometimes I experience power lag, I don't get the forward shove characteristics of entering boost and I do not know why but other times it's there. Maybe it is me still getting use to the power  Question: If the car is already in boost and you floor it, I don't suppose you would feel much forward movement, as when it is entering boost?

Could have been a stale batch of fuel causing the power loss. Glad its all sorted now though. Time to get modding!

The right fuel? You do mean 98/99 RON, not just petrol?
