  ) but the problem still seems to be present and they seem to be clutching at straws now. To me it seems to be some sort of fuel supply issue- the engine turns rapidly so I don't think it's the battery though I haven't checked voltage as yet.

• Nissan Note / Mazda 3 - recommend - Nissan Note vs. Mazda 3 9 May 2010 (Forum)

  like some sort of fuel starvation and this time he was on a busy road and had to have recovery to a local garage.

  , permanent 4wd, old style auto, 600kg heavier, bigger tyres, and is less aerodynamic, why does it not use much more fuel?
