    D4 Purchase

    Thank you everyone for your input. We ended up buying the 2013 3.0 TDV6 8 speed. The only 2 issues that came up from the pre purchase inspection is - 1) slight weep from the HP power steering hose, and 2) needs new wiper blades. The transmission hasn’t been serviced, so we’ll do that soon. But it does drive like a new car & its never been off road.

    Went for a drive today and returned 8lt/100k...our Mazda 2 gets 7 - 7.5/100km

    Is that the figure from the vehicles trip computer? If so, it's probably a bit optimistic (they usually all are) - you can likely add a litre or two on to make it accurate.

    D4 Purchase

    A wheel question:

    Why can’t you fit rims that are small than 19” to a 3.0 D4? Besides looks and onroad handling, is there a reason why I can’t have a set of 16” off road wheels in the garage?

    Actually ignore this. I’ll repost it in a new thread (can’t work out how to delete my comment tru Tapatalk)

    Upgraded brakes are too big to fit 18" rims unless you go to the compotive style. Plenty of prior comments on this, and I think I mentioned when you were first considering your D4 options?
