Hello!
The wife is pregnant with our first and we're looking to get a small family car. My wife is 5' even, and this seems to be the perfect car for her, and after much watching we think we've finally found one with low miles for a decent price.
It was a fleet vehicle and has about 25k miles on it, everything seems great except the engine is a little chatter box and I took a video to capture the noise.
The salesman said it was pretty standard, but even my truck isn't that "tappy". It's not too loud, so you can't hear it much with the hood down, but with it up it's very noticeable as seen in the video.
Does this seem okay? Or should I stay away?
My wife is really looking forward to owning one of these.
Thanks!
(Also, sorry if this is the wrong forum, it didn't seem quite worthy to post in the Engine sub forum since it seemed like more of a general mazda engines question)
