Hey Jeff!! Welcome to the club!!
Though after looking it up (I had no idea what you meant) I think you meant Sakata? And from what I"ve already read, it"s a trim for several models Mazdas in the UK, similar to our i and S model here in the US. So what model Sakata do you have? A 2, 3, 6, a Bongo?
If you have or can get pictures, post them!!(1) I"m sure we would love to see the car.

That looks like what would be known asa 6i here.
Is it automatic or manual shift?
After driving 2 of these (petrol, nor diesel) they are nice.They do almost everything well and are cofortable to drive, but my first mod would probably be to upgrade the sway bars. A little too much body roll for my liking.

Just my .02.

 

hi
its a 6 speed manual 2.0ltr turbo diesel its only 120bhp i would like a bit more power but the cost of fuel over here well enough said
the suspension is really quite stiff hardly any roll at all when cornering not so good on the bumby roads though.

Hmmm? I wonder if the suspension, particularly anti-sway control is different between the States and the rest of the civilized world? I guess that wouldn"t surprise me too much.
