MAZDA 3 2LITRE SPORT! FUN, PRACTICAL AND RELIABLE

Advantages: build quality, looks, dash materials, road noise, bose sound system,engine power, rarity,
Disadvantages: suspension may be harsh for some, stupid parcel shelf. traction can be poor

...Having owned my Mazda now for about a week I believe I can safely say that I am extremely please with all aspects of the car. lets take you through a few areas... EXTERIOR From the outside the Mazda 3 is a Marmite effort. People either love the look, or you hate it! I for one think it is gorgeous, loosely Represrnting the Unique Mazda RX8 it has pround arches, cat like tail lights (get it TAIL lights "meow" he he, oh nevermind) and a sweeping smiling grill. This model comes with 17" 5 spoke wheels as standard, and they are alot more attractive than most factory fit wheels. Also being 5 spoke they show of the all round Disc brakes and make the alloys very easy to clean. BOOT SPACE Like the Albert hall, this car boast a ginourmous boot space. however the extended bumper on the sport model (longer by 2cm than ts2 etc) can...

Review of Mazda3 2.0 Hatchback

mazda 6 sport 2.3

Advantages: Very spacious; Looks and feels 'sporty'
Disadvantages: Not very economical on short journeys

...Please note, that the picture DOES NOT show this model of car. I have had the mazda 6 sport for just over a year now. The main reason for purchasing it was to buy a larger car, as I had a peugeot 206 and my husband had a toyota celica. We chose the 'sport' model, which on our car has the full body kit also, as my husband enjoys driving sportier cars. We did look at the TS and TS2 models, but they did not have as many godies on them and did not look and feel quite so sporty. The space in this car is excellent and the boot space is ENORMOUS. It is a very comfy ride and handles well. The back seat seats 3 people fairly comfortably and the front and rear leg room is good. The car has lots of 'goodies' such as cruise control, CD changer, air con, sunroof etc. The car looks really nice, especially with the body kit, although not all...

Review of Mazda6 2.3 Hatchback

Mazda3 1.6 TS 4dr Activematic - (Auto)

Advantages: Power,Comfort,Sport
Disadvantages: I couldn't buy it with cruise control and parking sensor.( Depends from the country)

...I drive this car since 2005. I have the model Mazda3 1.6 TS 4dr Activematic - (Auto) with : climate control, 6-dish mp3 player. I love its shape which makes feel young and attract you easily if you are at the age until 30 years old. The driver position makes you feel luxury even if you drive a long distance. Every time you will take your place you will feel spontaneous. You can have a comfortable journey with 5 passenger, with the climate control to affect just a little the power of the car. The Combined Fuel Consumption seems good as compare with the manual that other friends have and others cars of the same category. It depends and from the driver how gentle is with the petrol pedal. But if you drive until 130 km the consumption is good. Disadvadage is that I couldn't buy it with cruise control and parking sensor.( Depends...

Review of Mazda3 1.6 Saloon

Mazda 3 TS2

Advantages: Roomy, attractive look, quiet drive
Disadvantages: drive is a little dull

...When you have a look at the Mazda 3 it reminds you a bit of Marmite. You either love it or hate it. I hate Marmite, but the look of this car instantly attracted me. It reminded me of a good woman. Curves in all the right places but ample of it to make it comfortable. It looks modern but at the same time there is something quite retro about it. I have heard it described as a grandad car too, though not so sure about that. When you get inside it has a great deal of room. You can quite comfortably fit 3 people in the back and as the driver you can move your chair back a good distance without impeding the passenger behind you. There is plenty of storage room, with two compartments in the middle and one of the largest glove compartments I have ever seen. The boot is large but not very wide. I have to put my golf clubs in at an angle which...

Review of Mazda3 2.0 Hatchback

PS3 slim

Advantages: Blu-ray, free online, nice extras like vidzone & iplayer. Almost silent operation
Disadvantages: Rubbish controller, still expensive, online nowhere near as good as xbox live

...Well, had the slim for a few weeks now (my 1st ever playstation), personally, I'm a little underwhelmed by it, I've been a gamer since the nintendo game & watch days & owned @ least 1 of the current gen consoles since the Mega Drive(Genesis). Graphically the system has the potential to wipe the floor with the 360, but this is really only going to apply to PS3 exclusives as any software house making a multi-platform game is going to be as cost effective (lazy) as possible & use the same graphics on all the games where possible(ok, they need to dumb them down for the Wii). My problem here is that I have yet to get a game for it that runs in 1080P, they all seem to be in 720P! Why???? I'm sure they are out there, but I haven't found one yet. I guess this is down to most HD tv's being HD ready rather than Full HD. Sound-Yeah, ok...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (PS3)

A MAZda ING

Advantages: reliability(so far) space and comfort
Disadvantages: interior finish

...This is actually my mums V reg car but she is computer illiterate so I am writing this as if it were my own. This is my first Mazda and will probably be the first of many. I have only had it for a year and a half and have had no problems with it so far. Appearance: At first glance it looks quite sporty (looks almost te same as the focus because Mazda are owned by Ford) and looks much more daring than the simalarly priced Toyota Corolla. It also has a much nicer colour trim with blue velour seats which are extremely comfortable. The dash doesn't look amazing but is designed to be used and not looked at. I think there is a new model coming out later this year with new front headlights so you may wish to wait for this. Reliability: Japanese cars last forever and do not rust for at least 10 years. The only slight reliability...

Review of Mazda 323 1.3

PS3, for you and me?

Advantages: Stylish, good games available + lots more on the way, blu ray
Disadvantages: No HD cable in the box, no rumble, limited BC

...The PlayStation 3 is Sonys third generation of home consoles. After the stellar performance of the PlayStation 2 and launch of its two rivals the Wii and Xbox 360 the PS3 has a tough act to follow. Sony are clearly not worried as according to their marketing the PS3 is a "supercomputer" and is capable of "4D" graphics, with such bold claims I had to pick one up for myself and see if it was true! Unboxing The first thing you will notice about the PlayStation 3 box is that it's huge! The Xbox 360 had a rather large box but this is incredible being about 1.5x as big. The box design itself is worth a mention as it is pretty neat and the front has a picture of the console floating with the wireless sixaxis controller on a black and red background. On the bottom left hand side you will see the model you have purchased which will be either...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Sony Playstation 3 (PS3)

Advantages: Best Entertainment System Avaliable, Region free games only
Disadvantages: 4GB file limitation External Storage, Cant read NTFS

...I am going to be reviewing possibly one of the biggest console in the market currently the PS3. Firstly I have one and it is great, now let's take a look at it in detail: LAUNCH November 11, 2006: This is when it debut in Japan November 17, 2006: It released in North America March 23, 2007: Finally was released in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand. The UK launch was a shock for who went to it, as it was announced that everyone in the queue would receive a 46" Sony Bravia TV worth £2000. The launches did not turn out great for Sony as initial figures were low, here are the figures below: Worldwide: 5.59 Million - Japan 1,341,000 - North America 2,105,500 - Other 1,300,000 The launch was initially supposed to be as follows: November 11th for Japan and November 17th for North America...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Playstation 3

Advantages: Graphics, playability, blu-ray player!
Disadvantages: None

...I have been umming and arring over which colsole to buy, the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. I had heard a lot of positive things about the Xbox, and I had also heard that graphics wise and gaming wise the Xbox was slightly better than the Playstation 3. However, I eventually decided to go for the Playstation 3 for several reasons. Firstly, and probably mainly, was because of the recent decision to cancel production of the HD-DVD format (a format which the Xbox 360 is developed to play), meaning that the Blu-Ray dvd format ( a format that the Playstation 3 is developed to play) will dominate the High Definition DVD market in the near future. Secondly, last year, the PS3's Blu-ray DVD player was voted best High Definition DVD player on the market. A DVD player that would have set you back over £250 to buy on it's own, but by buying...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Playstation 3

Advantages: Cheap Blu-Ray player, great graphics, free wifi, internet browser
Disadvantages: Expensive, some games are better on 360, 40 GB model doesn't have backwards compatability

...There are probably 3 categories of consumer: (1) Gamers with a HD TV who are also quite interested in the multimedia/blue ray angle. (2) Serious gamers either without a HD TV or who are not interested in high def for films etc.. (3) HD TV/ multimedia people who are not that interested in games. If you are in (1) or (3) categories then this is a bargain at the moment. One of the cheapest/best blue ray players with constant support. Now upscales dvds and supports divx etc.. Supports the very latest version of blu ray and is future proof. Sony can not afford to have this fail and the constant updates are great and frequent. Also of advantage (over other systems) are: Low failure rate, built in wifi (even on 40 gb model), no external plug, no external hd-dvd (blu ray built in), no annual online fees. It also looks good underneath tv...
