nimbuye5 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I acquired this item via the motability scheme around one month ago. The performance of the gearbox is subpar, as it exhibits noticeable sensations during gear shifts, sometimes resulting in a forceful acceleration that pushes the occupant into the seat. Furthermore, on a weekly basis, there is an occurrence of a loud impact and grinding noise while initiating movement from a stationary position at traffic lights. The suspension system is characterised by its excessive rigidity and discomfort. There have been several reports suggesting that a more comfortable suspension may be installed at no additional cost upon request. However, my dealer, Perry's, has declined to change the current suspension and has instead claimed that the discomfort would diminish as the rubber bushes gradually soften. This response has left me perplexed and dissatisfied. The vehicle sometimes experiences autonomous acceleration and exhibits several other malfunctions. Despite undergoing repairs, the automobile was returned with the same set of defects. I have replaced a Kuga automobile, and it is noticeable when the gears shift in the current vehicle, particularly in the cx60, notably during the first, second, and third gear transitions. This evokes memories of the Borg Warner gearboxes manufactured throughout the 1950s. Mazda has knowledge of the aforementioned difficulties, however fails to take appropriate action in addressing the majority of them, while the dealer similarly neglects to address the remaining concerns. Over the course of the last 15 years, I have not encountered the need to bring any of my seven newly purchased automobiles to a service centre due to any manufacturing defects. The automobile in question exhibits aesthetic flaws and premature market release, therefore characterising it as a prototype vehicle. If one is contemplating the purchase of the item, it is advised against. Furthermore, it should be noted that the mileage of the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is significantly overstated. I have been granted permission by Motability to return the current vehicle and proceed with the acquisition of another automobile, namely a Kuga model.

QuirkyPixel Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I resorted to doing an online search to ascertain the nature and characteristics of a Kuga, which I was previously unfamiliar with. This act was accompanied by a lighthearted expression denoting amusement, often represented as "lol." I am not familiar with the subject matter. It has been determined that in both Canada and the United States, the prevailing vehicle model is the Ford Escape. This is intriguing.

mrnobady Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 It seems that you own a vehicle from the year 2022, and I have come across grievances pertaining to the aforementioned issues you have raised. In the year 2023, notable enhancements have been made to the vehicle model under discussion. These include the implementation of a refined suspension system, the incorporation of sound isolation measures inside the doors, significant advancements in the gearbox controller software, the absence of any peculiar auditory disturbances, and the mitigation of reported system problems. I am perplexed by the dealer's refusal to provide assistance. If I were in your position, I would recommend reporting this matter to the official Mazda importer in your country. However, I appreciate that this suggestion may no longer be relevant because you have chosen to go with Ford. Regardless, I would not recommend that the whole population refrain from purchasing this vehicle just based on your experience with the first production model. Personally, I am really satisfied with my own automobile and have a strong affection for it. The subject may be seen in its native environment. I have a personal inclination towards the aesthetic appeal of the aforementioned vehicle, in addition to the notable presence of 327 mechanical horsepower concealed behind its visually striking exterior. This preference is juxtaposed with the design characteristics of the Ford Kuga. However, it is important to acknowledge that individual preferences may vary.

honeycut_mazda5 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 The 1984 Plymouth Turismo was the least satisfactory automobile I have ever owned. The experience was quite distressing. This being lacks any discernible redeeming attributes. The 1979 Dodge D100 proved to be the most unsatisfactory automobile I have ever had. The situation deteriorated worse. It is worth noting that Chrysler's bankruptcy may be attributed to certain factors. The occurrence happened on two separate occasions.

DenishP4 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I owned a Geo Metro vehicle. No more elaboration is necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab60bit88 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 The replies provided are commendable. The vehicles that I found to be the least satisfactory were those manufactured by the prominent automotive companies known as the "big three" throughout the 1980s. During that particular period, I was unable to identify any automobile that I had a favourable opinion on at the time. I have developed an interest in other cultures, particularly Japanese culture.

Ken_Lion Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I previously had an 85 Chevrolet Sprint, which served as the precursor to the Geo Metro. I had a strong affinity with the automobile. The purchase was made at a cost of $400, as previously mentioned. I extensively used the aforementioned subject matter, and it shown remarkable resilience in response. A really achieved fuel efficiency of 50 miles per gallon. And that was with me operating the vehicle with great speed and urgency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenishP4 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 The Geo Metro may be seen as a variant of the Suzuki Swift, distinguished by its use of Chevrolet's interior and dashboard components. Additionally, I achieved commendable fuel efficiency as I would often refuel when the odometer reached a reading of 492 miles. I embarked on a transcontinental journey by driving my vehicle to a distant destination and thereafter returning to my original starting point. The exhaust pipe and silencer were completely detached from the vehicle in the vicinity of Chicago. The performance of the engine was satisfactory; nevertheless, there were several instances of electrical malfunctions and persistent issues with the windows. My romantic partner resided in New York City, and I would go by car on a weekly basis to see her. I would like to park the vehicle in Gramercy Park. The individuals experiencing homelessness in the vicinity have knowledge on the method of accessing the vehicle by means of opening the rear quarter window, so obviating the need to shatter the glass. On a recurring basis, about once per month, I would encounter the presence of an individual experiencing homelessness inside my vehicle. The olfactory sensation persisted indefinitely.

DMGRS Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 The automobile in question represents the most unsatisfactory ownership experience I have encountered so far.It is evident that you, organman, were never an owner of a Chevrolet Vega.

Ken_Lion Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 One of my closest acquaintances throughout high school own a Blue 75 Vega. We really enjoyed our experience in the vehicle. Subsequently seeing him after a considerable period of time, I inquired as to whether he retained possession of the aforementioned item, only to be disheartened by his negative response. According to the individual, they expressed a sentiment that they intended to retain possession of the automobile indefinitely. However, due to severe rusting, the car experienced structural failure, resulting in it splitting into two separate pieces. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueWING007 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 It is peculiar that either the dealer or Motability took responsibility for resolving the repairs. It is noteworthy that there has been a decrease in the prevalence of negative news narratives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOOLCAR Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 It is regrettable that you encountered several difficulties that ultimately led to your decision to pursue an alternative vehicle. Upon seeing distressing information, I had a heightened sense of fear and subsequently engaged in an investigative process to explore other automobile options. Nevertheless, throughout a span of eight months of possession and having driven a distance of 12,000 km, I have not encountered any technical malfunctions or issues. Additionally, I get great satisfaction from operating the vehicle, whether it be on highways or on curving routes. I adhere to a strict charging routine, resulting in almost achieving the promised range and generating around €300 in monthly savings on fuel expenses. I made the decision to get pleasure from the automobile at now. The Kuga has been available on the market for a considerable period of time, suggesting that there is a higher likelihood of any potential faults having been resolved. Additionally, it has an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
