@@MarcMarriner Never heard of that on these cars 🤷‍♂️

The best way to test things like this is to see the car in person and test everything. Make sure the car goes okay, stops well, that the clutch doesn’t slip, test that all the equipment works, etc. As a whole, buying an older car, you need to accept that there may be parts that need replacing. The mk2 Ford Ka is based on the Fiat 500. All the engines are Fiat. If you are buying a 1.2 petrol, it’s generally a good and reliable engine

Unless you’ve owned one, I don’t believe that your Ka has all these issues. Sounds like you had one that wasn’t maintained at all. Any car that’s neglected will have big problems. Oh, and I’ve driven an Aygo, and it is less comfortable, slower, louder and the interior is horrible.

Well that’s gonna be hard, I sold the car 3 years ago

@@GECKOZFTW shame

@@mayhemmechanics4068 Not really, I was only keeping for my first year of driving

@@GECKOZFTW shame

Yes I would. They are good on fuel, very easy to drive and if you need to change anything, parts are cheap and easily available. Also, despite being an old car, you can actually safely run these on E10. Main thing you’re looking for really is rust.

@@GECKOZFTW thanks for the help man, parts look mega easy to find since you can practically buy another one for a tuna sandwich and a 10p

@@xxunicornxx7803 That's right. If you go to look at one, the main areas you should check for rust are: -Around the fuel filler -Underbody -Suspension towers -Sills

@@GECKOZFTW thank you

@@xxunicornxx7803 .. and subframe motor

Not really possible, sold it nearly 2 years ago now lol

How would it being hybrid improve the ride?

As a few have pointed out, I missed a few cars. The MX-6 being one of them

I don't see Mazda becoming a luxury brand. They still make a wide range of cars. The Mazda 2 is their smallest car and the Mazda 6 is currently their biggest car. I hope the rumours of Mazda introducing Inline-6 engines and RWD is true.

you have been mentioned in the pinned comment for your help ;)

I only noticed now that it has been blocked. It's ridiculous that my video has been blocked but other edits, some with over 100k views, haven't. I've opened a dispute with the company that blocked it. If they don't allow it, I will simply re-upload it either here, or on a throwaway channel. Thanks a lot for bringing that to my attention. Much love, brother.

@@GECKOZFTW thank you for making it that video was amazing! happy to help :)

Oh really? Did Mazda themselves say that?

@@GECKOZFTW don't quote me on it but yes. They are also working on synth fuel with porsche. ICE forever.

787B is there

Why you searching for them then

@@GECKOZFTW look at your analytics. Probably 1% of people are getting here from search results, it's in the recommended feed. This edit in particular is just stupid. Mazda is in a Renaissance. Free from Ford and fresh with cash from Toyota, they've finally made a niche for themselves as a premium, fun to drive manufacturer. Whine about hybrids, but the ND2 is incredible and Mazda is about to launch a line up of SUVs and a rumored RX-9 on a RWD platform with STRAIGHT 6 ENGINES! Little dark age? Lmao. RX-8 was ass and while sexy as hell, the RX-7 was so unreliable they broke during magazine tests. The next phase of Mazda is going to be incredible. Huge growth opportunity for the brand.

@@tealruby1 All you can talk about is rumours. Is it wrong that me and loads of other people miss Mazdas old cars? If Mazda was in a renaissance they would have higher sales. Mazda in Europe at least, isn't selling that well. The RX-8 was never that bad of a car either. It wasn't ever meant to be a car to daily either way.

@@GECKOZFTW Never meant to be a daily driver? Wouldn't have been a porky 2+2 coupe with three doors if that was the case. Absolutely ridiculous you'd imply that. RX-8 was a goofy misstep, the only good thing about it was the phenomenal platform that the NC borrowed. When the Ford partnership vanished Mazda lost access to cheap, high volume platforms. Can't pad out their sales figures by selling low margin rebadged Rangers or Escapes. In car markets that actually matter, they're breaking records. 2021 was their best year in sales since 1994 in the US. Go drive a CX-5 and then go sit in a Tribute and tell me with a straight face Mazda is in a dark age. I-6 and RWD platform aren't rumors, they're happening. The RX-9 is definitely a bit of a rumor, but Lexus just teased a GT3 race car that looks *exactly* the same as the RX-9 Vision. I think it's safe to say Toyota and Mazda are in bed and will be collaborating on a premium sports coupe.

@@tealruby1 I'll wait for the I6 engines and RWD cars then. I have no interest in any SUVs, they just don't do it for me, regardless of brand. And as far as I know, yes, Mazda and Toyota are in a partnership. Look at the Mazda 2 in the US, it's a rebadged Toyota Yaris

i forgor

@@GECKOZFTW 💀

@@Troy_K forgive me my child

@@GECKOZFTW Actually yeah, on second thought, completely forgiven, with the JDM scene the way it is right now it's probably better the JC and 110S stay low key anyways. 🤝

@@Troy_K I used to drive a forgotten car until 2 weeks ago when it suffered a terminal gearbox failure

Sure but I don't see the point of that. Unless you feel like spending £4k on rust repair. Finding a clean NA or NB now is very difficult

Who knows...We live in such uncertain times.
