    2.5T Cracked Cylinder Head/Leaking Coolant Report to the NHTSA

    Just took my 2018 CX-9 with just under 82K miles to a mechanic buddy of mine because it just started leaking coolant. I'd been smelling a burning smell for a few weeks now, but could not find the source. The mechanic found the TSB and suggested I go to Mazda. We'll see what they say. This is my...

    Bondo's not gonna fix this...Need advice repairing 2007 Mazdaspeed3

    Hey everyone, A Kia Sportage decided to mate with my beloved 2007 Speed. Neither of them enjoyed it, especially my car. If there's anyone out there with repair experience, I could use some advice on how (or if) to proceed. I'm the original owner in south Texas, so not rust issues. It's got...

    2016~2023 CX-9 41K spark plug change, found NGK plugs in the wild

    Just a word of warning to those who are changing their own spark plugs. Do NOT use anti-seize on your plugs when installing NGKs. They are designed not to require it, and in fact warn about using it. From their web site: "NGK spark plugs feature trivalent plating. This silver or chrome-colored...

    Actual MPG with your 2014 Mazda6

    I have over 8,000 miles on my 2014 without i-eLoop. I have yet to hit 33MPG (in real numbers, not what the car is telling me). BTW, for a better idea of how this car performs mileage-wise, try the fuelly.com web site. I've been tracking every tankful on it since I bought the vehicle.

    Current owners: What would you tell a new buyer?

    I would say the car is still a pretty good value for what you're getting, but If I had to do it over again, I would take the extra time to check out other cars in its class and take test drives, etc. For the mileage I'm getting, there are numerous other possibilities that don't have the...
