195/65R15 is a tiny bit too small for the TC. I tried a set of 70-profile and it suited the look better. Probably the ride is a bit smoother as well.

I hardly ever fire up my Mazda 6, TC is much more fun and all-round utility despite the lack of power.

Perhaps it wasn't a texting driver, may have been tweeting about heavy traffic 8)

Ok, tried it. I observed the image from the same distance on both sides. I scaled it to the landscape so that I saw the rear wheel fully and the top of the mirror aligned to the horizon. The curvature of the main mirror seems to be identical. The fish eye is too wide for testing without a fixed backdrop.Couldn't make an adequate photo as it's raining hard.

Is it under warranty? Go and have it checked out.

Hmm, I think the mirrors are mirror images of each other so they should work either driving side.

Never seen the small ones here on any TCs.

Shouldn't be too difficult as it's originally also diesel equipped. Just be sure to look out for a modern TDCi engine, not the underpowered medieval TDDi. Keep an eye on brits' leftovers, doing diesel > Cosworth swap. They're nuts

You could check Focus reliability data, which shares the drivetrain with the N/A TC. The rest of the bodywork is rock solid.

Automatic transmission for Europe, finally! Too bad it's only good for the petrol version, diesel is still manual only.

The reason you didn't get the liftgate in the US is that you have the delivery van Transit, not the same car as a passenger van - Tourneo, which exclusively had the liftgate.

The passenger vans have always had the liftgate option.

Mine's at 200 000 km with no problems, so it must be an isolated case.

No central locking? You can turn the key twice to open both passages, the rear barn doors and the sliding dor.

How many doors there are? There should be at least two?

There's a yellow escape knob back there, inside.

Check for the power on the connector at the rear window.

That's weird. Mine are perfectly good, even for my way off standard frame I find most seats uncomfortable for.

Here's a free paper dispenser for the TC. I grab a fistful of paper from the gas station pump every time I fill up, and put it on the shelf, pulling it through the hole when needed. It's good to have something covering the paper ball (like a brochure or smth) so it would not fly out of the window when you drive with the window open.

I strongly recommend insulating your doors with dynamat or similar while you're at it. Makes a big difference.

I changed the pic to a daytime shot.

I have no idea since we don't get the smaller mirrors over here. However, considering the bodywork is exactly the same then there's a point in the assembly where the attachment matches.

Sure. It's '06, heated, dual section glass, lower part is wide angle.

My European cargo TC has power mirrors, so it's up to the trim level.
