Mazda = Hyundai in my opinion. There are many Mazda Chevy / Mazda Hyundai partner dealerships. So their level is that of Hyundai (slightly better than Kia dealers). You can do service et all - problem with Mazda has been that a lot things which should have been a recall are TSBs. TSBs are...

I had a new filter installed before I went in. That was defo not my filter. When I pointed he quickly pulled it away.

If I have a diy friend looking for a Mazda I would recommend one. Not recommending a Mazda unless you know and like your dealer. My dealer has given me the 'Since TSB is not a recall we don't have to do it' lie. Also lied about me being out of warranty without checking. If I was unaware - they...

Whatever Mazda puts on the Sky X and now e-TPV, that black wrap or paint, if they offered it as an option it would sell like bananas. SRC is not everyone's cup of tea but that dark color - seeing cars in Cali and now this in Norway - I love that effect.

Your bird dropping doesn't look that bad, agitate it a bit - any micro scratches can be taken off. I let a few droppings stay - they are now etched deep in the paint - Clay bar / Scratch X cannot get to it. No matter what I do I still see a walnut like pattern which is faint. Yours is a lot...

Article says it all: https://driving.ca/mazda/features/feature-story/motor-mouth-is-this-the-perfect-electric-vehicle Surprises for me were that Mazda made a rotary engine that ran on hydrogen, they also made one in 2003 that ran on gasoline and hydrogen. First thoughts are the complexity is...

All new drivetrains have trouble - Yota 8 spd is getting hammered on their forums for being crude, 1.5T Hondas having their issues. So you are taking a big risk - the issue I have with CD is there is no real gain unless you are driving 30-45 mph with little or no load. Think of flat roads with...

Oil Change frequency does not overlap with Tire rotations. After 60K miles I am planning on spacing out OC at about 8-10K miles and tire rotations stay at 6K miles.

I don't think this is true. They will do free rotations if you have bought your set from them. Free air is another thing though. I pay $65 for OC, rotations are free at DT. I do my own filters AEM dry ones. If I get my own oil Mobil1 from Sam's I end up paying $35 for filter and OC. So cost...

Install cr2032 more powahhhh and it fits.

A Chevy Volt-ish drivetrain in a RWD wagon / hatch combo based on the Mazda 3 but with more rear legroom would be great. Maybe get a plastic clad uplift version to the mix.

Toyota CVT on hybrids is very different than Honda and Subaru ones. Hybrids use eCVTs in which two motors and the battery pack combines to act as a CVT transmission. Through the eCVT regen energy is sent back to battery and engine/electric power is delivered to the wheels.

TSB says Replace the calipers - this is upto 3 / 36 and maybe beyond that. Next the TSB says - for Pads / Discs Mazda will decide on a case to case basis and dealer can replace if the car is 12 months / 12 000 miles - but we have had members who had older cars 2 year / 20+ K miles for whom...

This is not true. For 12/12 Mazda covers the Calipers and Pads / Disks if they get bad. The calipers should be covered at 3/36 and even beyond if you are persistent. Some users have had pads / discs replaced even after 12/12. So that dealer straight up lied to your face.

I'd argue that the front already has engine on it to aid in grip whereas the rear is lighter for front engine FWD cars which are common-est. When I got a pair of tires on a FWD front engine car. They go to the rear always. for AWD - though they would have to be all 4 new or all 4 within a...

I am taking it back in on Wednesday to see. I don't know if they find it squishy at that point - is it enough to bleed two or they will need to bleed all lines.

I will try Hiley again - it just is so tiring. I was told that my car is out of warranty (not true) told that there are no recalls - well I never said there were any. Everytime this has been. I guess this is one reason people buy Lexus et all. If it was a trim piece or something I would let it...

Travel is not longer, but the first exit from Hiley it felt very soft. It definitely feels better now. I feel more closer to my original feel than yesterdays. I am not sure if breaks need to be pumped a bit after a bleeding and Hiley forgot that. Another way to check air in the system is to...

Drove a 3 as a loaner, coming from a 16.5 CX5 this thing felt solid for its size but the visibility was poor and it was not confidence inducing on corners. A/C is so much better than my 16.5 - overall with Cylinder Deactivation / and other small issues, 3 no go for me. My loaner had 300 miles on...
