Hello there good people. I am currently a 2003 Civic owner with 146k on the clock, 1.6 Manual. I am thinking of upgrading to a 2004 Mazda 3 with 92k on the clock 1.6 Automatic. Located in Finland and prices are a bit on the high side.(the numbers give are Kilometers so divide by 1.6 for miles )
If I pay 2,000 $ roughly, I get to upgrade to this lovely car. I drove it and the only thing I saw noticed was that the wheel vibrates while breaking, the seller said he will change the front break discs as it is the root cause of it. Car had no issues with transmission, but my main concerns are:
1. How reliable are these gearboxes for daily drive ? No enthusiastic driving and nothing over 100km/h and very civilized. Car has been serviced regularly at dealers since new
2. I am a music enthusiast and would like to install my active subwoofer on this , and maybe aftermarket double din , is that even possible?
Please let me know also if there are any specific point I should look for.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
