Yup, awesome truck. I've got a 72 LWB which belonged originally to my great uncle. Other than keeping it on the road, no plans to restore or repaint. I rather cherish its ranch style, farm truck appearance. :D Still works well for truck duties too. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Ohhh. Me likey. Seems to continue their Kodo design well enough. Will be needing a larger replacement for my wife's CX-5 in the next couple of years. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Agreed, that's perfectly generous. But, wish they'd match that warranty, bumper to bumper. No matter the severity of failure, I intend to perform all of my own repairs. We'll see how that goes though, with a growing family. XD Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

This is news to me. Mazda, AFAIK, has been out of the extended service business for a while. Years ago, when under Ford ownership, they offered some manufacturer backed service contracts. Then, went a few years hiatus before coming back to simply "backing" several of their third party contracts...

They're in the business of selling more than cars. These days, they're mostly into insurance. I think most Americans over insure. And this is no exception. If you can, self insure. I've bought thousands of dollars in these silly insurance packages over the years. Not once, NOT ONE TIME has...

AWD is fine and good for winters...I guess. I have little experience there. But, where it really shines is on a performance platform. And if it's a decent enough system, it'll deliver enough TQ to the rear to get you sideways, but you've still got power up front to pull you out of lateral...

Any reason why you aren't considering a Mazda 3? With AWD and the 2.5l, if you can't better your current efficiency, you can sure match it. Leave earlier in the day and knock 10 mph off of your speed and you're golden. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I've used Back to Black for over a decade on exterior trim. I find, if applied correctly, it's perfectly good stuff. I did change it up recently, and tried Ultimate Black, pictured above. Seems to have better longevity than B2B. The key is application. Don't just use a rag or whatever. That...

I would think automakers would have learned their lesson, after the Hyundai incident a few years ago. But, I have always achieved matched or even better mileage than the EPA/manufacturer figures, on all of my Mazdas. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I've purchased a Mazda from Town North, Hiley and Classic. Have to say, I enjoyed Classic the most. I was once friendly with many of the techs and sales folks at Classic, when I lived in Denton. Moved to Fort Worth 5 years ago, and it appears nearly all of my former acquantances have gone. :/...

I also own both. Love my wife's CX-5 to death. Totally gutless, but been my favorite car I've ever owned. And it's great so far with the little one we just welcomed to the family 6 weeks ago. The 3 is a totally different animal in the fun department. Not even comperable. The CX-5 is a...

You purchased from Classic in Denton? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

It's somewhat bizarre to me that the two are cross shopped. But, seems quite typical that they are. I don't feel that there's a huge gap between the two, in regards to amenities, fit and finish, or even feel. I just find that one, judging by appearance, looks like a family hauler, and the other...

Not really high mileage yet, at 48K, but FWIW, very early 2013 m/y build. 3 1/4 years ownership. Zero unplanned dealer visits. No monies spent beyond regular maintenance. No significant issues to speak of.

I'd say there's a sliver of validity to this claim. I mean, you're right in a sense. Namely, with a conventional, fuel port injected engine. With GDI, I think it's a little more important to choose the right oil, due to inherent operational conditions of GDI. I think it's most important really...

The idea is higher cylinder temperatures and pressure release into the crankcase, which accelerate oil vaporization. Certainly possible to make provisions in your valve overlapping, spark and injection timing events to reduce this problem, though. FI GDI seems that much worse...
