Pug they are a REALLY Good car.They are mechanically a Mazda demio but somehow feel a LOT more solid to drive. It is Mrs Kaz's favorite car at the moment because she can easilly fit baby kaz in her carseat as well as her HUGE pushchair.Isofix for modern carseats. VVTi chain drive engine. Normal auto gearbox etc. I rate them higher than a vitz,corolla,demio for feel

I think you should shut up and go buy it. ;-) Do a deposit and get a PP check done but that sounds like a pretty sharp price.

Watch out for rust at the rear where the suspension mounts to the under body of the car its a real problem with these and the demios .

Except that the 2 parts that corrode are on the compliance watch list. So either its clean on entry or the 2 parts have been replaced with new bits in NZ

We drove one today as we are still searching for a car.nice to drive, very roomy, nice instruments.but seemed quite underpowered though, and very harsh ride, with lots of dash rattles. But may have been just this example. Then we drove a Nissan Tiida, VERY comfortable and quiet compared to the Verisa, so I dunno.if the Tiida could have the Verisa instruments and body it would be perfect.lol The Tiida was underpowered too, being a 1500. to be honest its damned confusing buying a car now, so many on here to chose from. Would like to drive another Verisa though, in case that one we drove was just a "dog". Certainly makes me think the Yaris is a pretty plain car now compared to some of the newish imports coming in. The dealer said to me all the small Mazdas are harsh in ride.but in Japan roads are probably perfectly smooth. Want to try a Nissan Note now, see if its any nicer than the Tiida.
