My mx 5 aircon failed on yesterday. Heard hissing sound and I suspect the cooling coil is leaking. The mileage of my car is only 25k and is still under free servicing and warranty. Called Mazda service centre to check if the aircon is under warranty. Give her my car number and told her that I suspect the cooling coil is leaking. She told me is under warranty and I arranged to send my car for repair at the Tanjong Penjuru Centre today. Arrived in the morning, spoke to the SA. He too suspected the the cooling coiling is leaking. He told is that is covered by warranty. Left my car then and went back. The SA called me after an hour to two to tell me that the cooling coil and O rings need to be replace. The warranty only covers the aircon compressor but not the cooling coil and I need to pay around $1200.00 for the repair. I told him that I never encounter or know anyone who need to replace the cooling coil at 25K mileage. It is very obvious the quality of the cooling coil is questionable. And it is a parts that cannot be purposely damage by user. I done all my servicing with Mazda because it is still under the free servicing package. Told the SA to get his manager to contact me. Is a shame that the staffs are trained to prioritize profit rather than reputation.

Well, I won't argue that there are plenty of sports cars out there with retractable roofs. However, among all those convertibles, the MX-5 (Miata) from Japanese automaker Mazda may be one in particular that you should put your eyes on. Not only does it offer hair winding fun, but there's actually more to it than you might possibly imagine. Well, here's some proof. Recently, Mazda U.K., in collaboration with some Frisbee freaks and pro stunt drivers, just made this video which I would say is pretty cool. Watch the video and I believe you will think playing Frisbee on a car is something you should try too. At a glance, what these people did in the video may seem impossible. However, they managed to pull it off - and with a huge success in my opinion. Although the Mazda MX-5 isn't the type of car you can really count on when it comes to speed, it does offer you a fun steering, braking, gear shifting, and suspension. As a result, it makes something as fun as throwing the Frisbee disk from the car in front such that it lands in the car behind possible and it's unimaginably fun. To top it off, it can all be done while drifting, too! Hehe, I think you may even get addicted to it over times. However, don't swallow my words for it in an instance. Go check out the action and the fun yourself in the video.
