Interesting updates. I bought 12 months live services back in early December only to find they wouldn't work - had the blank details on the network screen, no SIM / IMEI details etc, which I think many have experienced. I opened a case with TomTom, no joy, so they refunded me while I took it up...

Given the lack of engine/tranny options, I see the Lux almost as a special edition. No choices to make, just there's your spec - take it or leave it - an SEL with a few bits from Sport plus the sunroof. If it sells like hotcakes then we might see it have a permanent place in the range plus more...

If you dig a little deeper, it seems that sunroof is ONLY on the SEL-Lux model, not on the Sport.

Oakmere Mazda, Northwich - 152. Another 25 (slight rip off there) to rotate wheels.

Crikey, what religion are you and can I join? ;)

I wouldn't worry - your hope for 40mpg is realistic, I average about that in my 175 sport auto, although it varies considerably with driving style and route profile. Oil level issues are overdone (IMO), mine crept up too, they've taken some action, the car's under warranty blah blah blah ;). All...

Yes, true about the istop but there's no actual indication. There are a multitude of reasons why istop doesn't activate so you can't assume that it is due to regen.

About the regen, there's nothing to specifically inform you on a UK car, but I can usually 'feel' the difference in engine tone, not necessarily immediately because it is subtle, but the regen lasts for approx. 10 miles or so of driving in my car - the engine feels ever so slightly rougher...

OK, I'll ask - who can explain shift-shock?

I got that letter too, even though my dealer allegedly did the work two weeks ago! I'm sure they did actually do the work but will go see them with the letter so that records are kept up to date. My car was also serviced recently, so I'd hope that I've had any related ECU updates. They have...

I test drove a manual but bought an auto. I think the test comments about taking the edge off are referring to the normal characteristics of the auto box, not the outright performance. While I wouldn't argue against a 'caned' manual being faster accelerating than the auto, the auto will happily...

As prhac said, undoubtedly a dpf regen if you have a diesel. If you keep an eye on instant mpg you can't miss them, at mway speeds my mpg drops to mid 20's while these run. Haven't timed one, but they last a good few mins maybe 10 to 15.

I have the 175 AWD auto, computer currently @ 39.2 mpg, 80% shortish (8-10 mile) journeys, 20% longer runs. I drive fairly economically-minded most of the time so others may well get worse figures. In the first few months the comp showed 42.2 for a long time but steadily fell over the colder...

Hi soupafly, how do you know about the UK status? Did your dealer contact you, or Mazda direct, or did you have to ask?

Not showing on mine :(

My dealer spoke to Mazda today about two issues I have - TomTom mobile network connection problem, plus (more importantly) rising oil. A TSB for the oil dilution problem is to be issued, possibly in January but not confirmed. TSB for TomTom already available, will see next week if it helps...

prhac, I raised the ticket via their website from my tomtom account. Dealt with entirely via email, they are pretty quick to respond.

Thanks prhac, I do have an incident ref and TomTom advised to give it to the dealer. Will be on the phone to dealer Friday.

After some horrendous traffic recently I decided to renew my live services (UK). Paid the 55 - why does it cost more for an in car unit compared to a portable (rip off!) - but anyway the unit will not connect to the mobile network. Raised a case with TomTom who reckon the SIM may be faulty...

January 2013? Crikey, they are becoming American-esque in their dating. Are the yanks buying 2014 model year cars yet? ;) Will have a read in the library (WH Smith's) :) Obviously they didn't factor in rising engine oil otherwise it would be stone cold last ;)
