mazda does not have a market for SUV's locally. The Tribute failed as well as the CX-7 and CX-9. The CX-7 will soon be discontinued and the CX-5 (the size of a Qashqai and ASX) but priced higher than a X-Trail, CR-V, Tiguan, Outlander, Grand Vitara, Sorento and Santa Fe means it would be yet another classical Mazda failure. The 3 and 6 doesn't even sell like the previous models and the 2 is another over priced small car failure locally. With a very limited line-up I suspect the only vehicle preventing them from sinking is 2wd manual transmission bt-50's.

If LSM, NM or ANSA assumes the Mazda brand they will inject new life into it. SS is killing the brand, their focus is Isuzu, Kia and Audi.

Who is to say that it failing?

They might be meeting the sale targets that they set for themselves for all we know.

OK stop. How many Mazda 6 vehicles do you see on the roads compared to say a Toyota camry, and the new Mazda 3 only came out 2 years ago you can't expect to see them on the roads as much as you would see the older models. Sheesh!

For $250k you may be able to get the Octavia 1.8T, this would be my first choice followed by the Jetta 1.4 Twincharged

I'm looking for a car for myself for under $250000 as well. But I'll be actually buying it in a few months time so I'm doing my research now. I need some prices though. If I get them before anyone here posts them up, i will do so myself. If anyone knows the price of the Nissan Juke, the information will be appreciated. The 2.2td 4by2 automatic new model ranger is 265k though if anyone wanted that information (the 3.2td 4by4 auto limited edition new model ranger is 325k)

I got the price of the Juke today already. It's $215000 for the 1.6 cvt and the 1.6 manual turbo is coming soon for $250000 I think the guy said.

Yip saw the Juke in Bimshire....it seems like Nissan is playing a practical joke on LHD world by seeing how much ppl actually love this car.

IMO for less than $250,000
1. VW Jetta
2. Skoda Octavia
3. Hyundai Elantra

sry Stephon, but as a Mazda 3 driver, it is too overpriced with a horrible gearbox.

SUV = Grand Vitara
Car = Mazda 3


Vitara=240k, 255k and 280k....wife don't like.
Mazda= I don't like....lol...

S_2NR She still have a CS3 and want the new lancer, i think 210k is not really what i would pay for a lancer.......

X-Trail Classic=245k,
Chevy Cruze=190k, 219k.
Navara=262k

What got me sold was the Kia Optima for 295k, really sweet ride....again it's not for me and wife don't like.....I think the X-Trail for 245k might be the best option so far......................never owned a Nissan though!

As far as I know the dealer (Best Auto) has no showroom in south. Give them a call. They might be willing to send a car down who knows.

As requested, this is the breakdown of the average service cost of a Volkswagen Jetta:

- 1000 Miles - Free!
- 5000 Miles - $1,100
- 10,000 Miles - $1,300
- 15,000 Miles - $1,100
- 20,000 Miles - $3,500 (If front Brakes to be changed +$850)
- 25,000 Miles - $1,100
- 30,000 Miles - $1,300
- 35,000 Miles - $1,100
- 40,000 Miles - $4,000-$5,000

Please note that at every 20,000 Miles Service includes - Replacement of Air, Fuel, Oil and Pollen Filters. Clean & service Throttle Body. Renew all Fluids eg Brakes, radiator etc. Check and Lubricate all contact points. Alignment of Tyres. Change any worn belts.

Also note that our service intervals are in Miles NOT Kilometers as in other our Japanese Brand Competitors.

Glad to be of assistance guys!!!


Just posting for the benefit of other members. Some info was left out.

Thoughts?

In theory servicing for the Jetta could be 7000 dollars per year. I'm surprised at the 3 month schedule when in every other country VW recommends 7500 mile services ( or 6 months) for vehicles doing harsher city miles and 10000 mile servicing (or 1 year) for highway driven vehicles

Anywhere from $390,000 and up, depending on specs.
Good midspec without sunroof but with leather etc will run you around $420,000

If that's the fully loaded Qashqai for $238k, that's very competitive.
