Hi, This is my first post although I've been reading stuff on the forum for ages. I've been a MPS owner since 2008: I had a Mazda 3 MPS MK1 from June 2008 to May 2011, and I now drive a MK2. Both of them good cars and great fun to drive. The MK2 seems to attract a lot more attention from other folk (i.e. positive comments) than my MK1 ever did, which is nice! I currently have a few niggles with the MK2, including a clunk from the rear suspension and a really, really annoying squeaking noise that seems to be coming from the windscreen / dash area. It's been back to the local Mazda dealer a couple of times now but they've not fixed it yet, and it's going back in next month for another attempt at a fix. I've seen a few posts on here about the windscreen not being bonded correctly, although the technician didn't seem convinced the noise was coming from the windscreen. Anyway, apart from the squeaking noise occassionally driving me nuts, it's a great car to drive

I had a clunk noise from the rear, at first i thought it was the spoiler. Took it to Mazda and they told me i had a worn anti-roll bar link, changed under warranty and the noise has gone. Might be the same?
