I thought they were a mazda?? not a nissan. they have the same floorpan as a mazda mx6 and the same engines too. Should have left them in the USA and not brought them here too...

Shit cars in my opinion. Dont buy a red one either. Three stage paint on the. And tinted laquer, as i found out recently when painting one

As said they are dead cheap so if he wants one why not try one - for the sake of £500.
