I'm not to sure what there like with high milage as mine only had about 40000 when I had it. I really enjoyed owning it and only got rid of it because the scoob came along at the right price.

I think the 306 (99-on facelift) is a good looking car so much better than the 307-8. whats with the ugly golf club style wing mirrors poking out the door tops on a 308? Anyway back to subject, 306`s resist the tin worm very well but the interior is made out of the most shocking plastics known to man! I had a 2000 reg hdi with 64k miles on it and just could nt get on with the crap build quality.
How about these Rob?

Sorry that was a predictable was nt it?

That 323 is nice, decent little for the money.
I'll bear them in mind mate, I take it the reliability is similar to the bigger 6?
If I sell mine first, then I can easily run to that, if not.........

I'm looking at a few cars this weekend, it should be interesting as the Mrs is at work and I'm with my little boy, I'll probably end up with a bright red two seater that I can't really afford!

The Fiesta needs a wheel bearing and some TLC on the exhaust for the MOT. Sounds interesting........

Well? How did the car hunting go?
All mazda`s (piston type;)) should be boringly reliable if mantained correctly.
