    Oil Change -- Lesser of Two Evils

    The dealer is less than 10 minutes from my house. I work in software, so I can work at home any day I want and the dealer has fast Wifi. Tire rotation is a small additional fee, I can't remember it exactly. Obviously not everyone has this situation.

    Mirror folding failure

    Like all the DRLs on the *16 model that are failing right after the 3 year bumper to bumper expires? :)

    Oil Change -- Lesser of Two Evils

    If you buy an 8 pack from my dealer, they charge 37.50 for Castrol Magnatec Full Synthetic, OEM filter + washer, wash and vacuum. The waiting room is nice enough and they are usually done around an hour. Not the best oil, but decent. This seems to helped when I got Mazda to replace my failed...

    Pick Up Reserve tommorrow....

    I think thats too strong a phrasing. The other amenities and services far eclipse any saving they have have gotten. No point in spending money on printers that no one is using.

    Pick Up Reserve tommorrow....

    I work in a remote office for a 25billion dollar software company. We just moved into a new office space and they removed half the printers even though our space can hold 3 times more people. Like myself, most of my coworkers are under 35, and no one prints, and when people do print, its...

    Love the Reserve except the crappy....

    I agree that the nav sucks, but for what its worth there are offline nav apps that work with CarPlay (and I assume android auto) like Tom Tom. I wouldnt buy one, but I think I saw that the newly redesigned 2020 Ford Escape has waze built in. Pretty cool.

    Why is Mazda-Australia so much more successful than Mazda-USA?

    Wait, maybe I see the misunderstanding. My post was not about car value, but the number of cars sold so far in 2019. So for example Subaru has sold 20.6% less Imprezas from Jan 1 - July 31st 2019 compared to Jan 1 - July 31st 2018. Looking at the Golf-R, it has sold 26% less cars so far this...

    Why is Mazda-Australia so much more successful than Mazda-USA?

    The cheapest 2016 model within 100 miles of me (millions of people) is 13k for a Sport model with ~85k miles and visible scrapes on the side. Jumps up to ~15k for a Touring with 100k. Cheapest CRV is about 14K with 40K miles, so not a huge difference. But I am not sure what that has to do...

    Why is Mazda-Australia so much more successful than Mazda-USA?

    I think its mostly marketing, # of dealers, and incentives at this point. I don't think there is an issue with the type of offerings. I don't think there is a huge market for cars that aren't named civic, corolla, etc. As an example, even Subaru, who is doing pretty well is seeing a -20.6%...

    Mazda's 1'st Electric Vehicle - Looks like a CX-5

    I don't get all the Tesla hate. Are their cars perfect? No. Have they made mistakes? Obviously. But they ~16 year old company building a car that no other manufacture can touch for the EV. Pretty impressive.

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    Yes 50 dollars (25 each). I have had all my service done through 40k miles at my local dealership and the guy at Mazda NA said that probably helped.

    Mazda Moly Oil in 5W-30: Does It Even Exist?

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    Well, good news for me too. I had both of mine replaced today for a total of 50 dollars! Not as good as free, but thats good enough for me. Mine also end with H despite the invoice saying J. Assuming those dates on it are where they were made, my right headlight was made 2019-03-13 and the...

    Aftermarket Remote Start

    It sounds like whoever configured your system set it up as lock-unlock-lock, which is cool. Based on that thread I posted, I wonder if you unit needs a firmware update.

    June Sales - USA

    Same in New England. It would be really interesting to see Mazda sales broke down by region. Anecdotally I have seen a good number of them around here, but mostly CRVs and Foresters.
