Its a common practice for me to let the engine idle for a minute before shutting down (and I have the 3.7). Lets those hotspots normalize with the rest of the gang inside. The turbocharger gets bombarded by hot exhaust and can get very hot (especially on higher RPMs or heavy load). Shutting...

interesting to see a refresh/facelife...the 4 round tail light that debuted on the 3, dropping of the grill lines in exchange of a bigger and "mesh" grill that is seen on the new 6 and 3 and cx-5

It's safe to let out some gas with the mazda ventilated seats then... The rest of the gang blows cold air, spreading the gas! (rockon)

Thats how I set my gen 1, each key FOB can be set separately. Ensure to leave the mirror adjustment switch to either left or right.

Replaced my stock Xenon Osram Nightbreakers with Nightbreaker Lasers...results are more than satisfying! The 2nd gen though got LEDs which makes aftermarket replacements impossible.

Mine has 80% left after 30,000 kms (aprox. 18,600 miles)...seems a 100,000 miles is achievable with these OEM pads.

silicone spray maybe for troubleshooting, see if it frees up the glass on the channels

It would be a challenge to keep the 50/50 F/R weight distribution. Maybe they can find a way to smack a turbo on that 2.0 engine and tuned for high revs instead of the low RPM torque of the 2.5T. I do really wish the "mazdaspeed" badge makes a comeback (spark ignition if it produces enough...

can't see the photos :( can you post photo links as well?

It might be due for a facelift...though I don't see any drastic changes considering the current design cues of the concepts. Considering the 6, and CX-5 already are using the current 2.5T, it deserves a more powerful engine to bring it on a higher notch for a "Flagship" model. Torque figures...

Hi there! I am from Doha as well and currently running 30,000 kms on my 2016 purchased Gen 1. So far so good. That is a very low mileage for a 2014 model. I have workmates with CX-9s currently running with 115,000 kms (2011 Model), 70,000 kms (2014 Model) and 60,000 kms (2015 Model) running...

just a thought, the driver side heater core might be letting hot coolant in...Have it checked as well! PS: Good to see another owner from Qatar!

Seems like the older active torque split is responds better (during heavy acceleration). I never had torque steer on my Gen 1 (maybe a little but insignificant to affect steering).

I want this but I am so d*mn far

just curious, any confirmed Gen1 kodo PTU failures here? or they still lack the mileage of the older Gen 1s?

I currently use this baby and it is bad ass bright as well

a little OT: You have an interesting A/C display...how did you get that to work?

Agree on improving stopping power, it has to catch up with concurrently increasing horsepower... Even on the 1st Gen Kodo, I feel the brakes would benefit on an upgrade or at least a beefier front set. Stopping a 4500 lbs monster is no easy task.

got Philips Ultinon LED H11s on my Gen 1 and they serve the function well.

you might just have a busted rear diff clutch/solenoid, failing to connect the rear axle when required.
