    Cx9 known turbo issues?

    Not that I am aware of but as an example on the longevity and reliability of Mazda engines and the new DPT, last month I was at my local dealership getting my CX9 serviced, the sales rep I talked to said their service dept recently serviced a beat up 2016 CX9 with over 160K kms on it...mechanics...

    New guy here... Very interested in the CX-30

    am also considering the CX30 as I find our CX3 just a tad too small and the ride is just too firm, bumpy and jarring for my liking. If only the plastic cladding wasn’t too significant! Oh, and also looking at the upcoming Kia Seltos...taller and roomier than the CX30...

    Sad day, but it protected me well!

    yes totally agree having a dashcam helps validate the claim! Talking abt dash cams this week I know someone who got hit in the front fender driver side and the other driver claiming it was not his fault! If only the person I know had a dash am then it would refute other driver’s claim...it...

    Give it some time...Maybe the new wiring harness has fixed the issue and going forward. For most part, the CX-3 has been known to be a reliable vehicle.

    Looking at a used 2017 CX5 GT trim with 45K kms/29K miles on it...can existing owners just chime in on so far how the reliability experience has been in almost 3 yrs of ownership.

    Is Mazda's upcoming CX-30 on your shopping list?

    I have a CX3 and compared the interior space...the CX30 is only larger by 3cm in the rear legroom! Yes ext length is longer by 5” and wheelbase longer with slightly larger cargo area but at end of the day what matters will be the space inside which most people complained abt on the CX3 so not...

    Tires! Any advice on new tires for my CX-9?

    I replaced the Falken OEMs 2 yrs ago with Nokian WRG3 SUV tires coz I needed tires that were winter rated yet you can run and use all year round. So far happy with them and they performed better than the Falkens esp during the winter months!

    Confused about IIHS Headlight rating for CX-9

    That’s why in some vehicles like Lexus, Audi, Volvo and other premium brands they have built in headlight washers that activate when you use the windshield washer! Unfortunately Mazda doesn’t have that...That’s one feature I liked when I had the Volvo!

    Car and Driver 10 Best 2020

    I agree with you on this...status still matter to some folks. I have experienced owning a prem/luxe vehicle in the past and what I can tell you is that after some time the novelty, prestige and status “wears out” and the vehicle just becomes, well just another vehicle! Then it really starts to...

    Don*t forget but we have Nokian all-weather tires that are winter-rated and performs better than all-season or 3-season tires.

    Fog lights decorative piece?

    Check the front side (driver side) of the road and youll notice that the fog lights provide some illumination. The best way to test it is to turn the fog lights off then on...you wont notice up front but the front lower side youll see there is a slight diff

    General question here: have a 2017 MY and mine is almost 3 yrs old (in Jan) but never updated the firmware for the infotainment since original delivery (not even sure which version I have) - if I get the latest firmware will it affect anything even if mine doesn*t have AC/AA? What are the...

    Is the suspension popping issue like loud or just faint? Does it happen when pulling in our out just straight or say only when on an incline? Ive noticed on mine (2017 MY) but very rare when going to turn the wheel and going over a bump or ingress of my driveway that there will be a click that...

    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    Your only enemy could be running out of the particular trim/colour and options that you are looking for when the inventory runs really low esp when the 2020s really come in. My suggestion when you start negotiating would be to not accept any of the offer the dealer gives you right away - sort...

    2016~2023 Blind spot & lane keep not functional

    You also have to remember that the LKA will only work (steer you back) when vehicle detects visible lanes (comes up on the HUD as 2 parallel lines) and you veer off the lane (depending on the sensitivity settings via infotainment). If you don*t see the parallel lines on the HUD and you wander...
