I am looking at buying the above in the form of the 2.5l V6 GLEi.
Would like to know of any problems I should look out for before hand.

Cheers

Not a bad car overall.
Auto transmissions are well known for shitting themselves.
Mazda engine in them isn't too bad, quite revvy and can be a wee bit thirsty.
Generally quite decent to drive in manual form.
From memory, the cooling system is a bit of a pain to work on, so is the timing belt, water pump etc due to having quite a cramped engine bay.

Thanks for that - will go over it with a fine toothed comb and look for any signs - it is an auto
