thank Christ. Still, find yourself a good mechanic. Dont take it to mazda for anything they are useless. Also there is a carplay upgrade you can do if its the current gen and doesnt already have it. LOL, wait, you didnt buy it from Hamish did you?
I nearly bought one in 2007. It was between a Mazda 6 and a Pulsar. In the end, I went with the Pulsar because it was $2k cheaper, and all other things about the cars were pretty equal.
My life circumstances changed over the next decade (had a family), and the Pulsar was a bit small for us by the end. I ended up wishing I'd gone with the Mazda.
I can say positive things about Korean diesels.
Mazda service charged me 2.5k for a diesel fuel system test that never found a fault. They ultimately found the fault by finally taking my suggestion and plugging in a multi-meter and finding a short. they still charged me the 2.5k. theres a particular word that comes to mind, and it rhymes with runts.
Yeaaaaah nah, not worth it unless youβre making serious coin. And sadly I donβt think a Corolla will last just a whileβ¦I think your stuck with it till the heat death of the universe. They donβt die.
