Does anyone want to play "find a decent petrol estate that's more reliable than a Megane for around £1k"?

Or actually this looks like a pretty solid little car as long as you don't need loads of space

Thanks for those.
I hadn't seen one of those Mazdas but I quite like it.
Thankfully it sounds like the repair on mine is only going to be £180 so I'm going to stick with it for a bit. Despite the fact that it's been a big pain in the arse I do like it.
When I was looking the Mazda 6 seemed to be really well reviewed and iirc is meant to be reliable according to honest John reviews.
