My car isn't experiencing any issues, I just was making sure it was up to date. The recall in question is this one: MAZDA SPECIAL PROGRAM (MSP16) - ENGINE LACK OF POWER - PCM REFLASH Added 03/14/08

I just purchased an RX-8 and called the dealership to find out if there were any open recalls. The only open one was a recall about lack of power to the engine. The service rep said that they had a customer that had this recall done and he's now having problems with the car flooding ever since...

Looks like it was just the batteries! DOH

Just bought a used '07 RX-8 with 38k. I previously owned an '07 Speed6 and had similar issues with the advanced key...just picked up the car yesterday and the key was working fine until i tried to start it this morning. The ignition wouldn't turn and the red "KEY" indicator flashed on the...

Hey everyone, Longtime lurker here on these forums - I used to own an '07 speed6 GT and last year decided to lease a Sonata Turbo Limited. Amenities are nice in the Sonata, and the gas mileage (I thought) was going to be head and shoulders above the speed6. Turns out I was wrong, and I'm...

The battery and fuses are fine, i don't know about a bad ground somewhere. The funny thing is when i can't start the car, opening and closing the driver side door usually lets me start it on the next try...

Hi everyone, I don't know if anyone has run into this problem before, but i've had a random problem with my speed6 not starting. At first, i thought it was the advanced key, which the dealership replaced, it would randomly not work and for a while didn't work at all. While using the valet...

I bought my car a year ago, it has 15,000 miles on it, 5,500 of which was run on snow tires. The stock summer tires are completely shot. I called the Dealership, and they said the tires aren't covered under any factory warranty and call Bridgestone. The rep i talked to acknowledged that these...

I'm still getting really poor winter MPG. Last tank was 13.69 MPG, thats horrendous. I'm starting the car for about 5-10 minutes every morning or so, and its all city driving, but i'm beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with the car. Its not like i'm flooring it wherever i go either.

The car has only 5000 miles on it, and the tires are brand new. Granted, its a lot of start and stop driving, my commute to work is about 3-4 miles, but the gas mileage has been horrendous lately.

Hey guys, This is my first winter with a Speed6. I've got a set of 17" performance winter tires on the car. The past 2 tanks i've filled up have got 14 and 16 MPG respectively, which seems really poor. I am starting the car some mornings to warm up, but no longer than 10 minutes, at most its...

I paid $25,500 back in June - mine had around 100 miles on it. 07 GT.

I don't have a lot of mileage on this car (2500) - but still getting poor gas mileage in city driving. I've got from 17.5 - 18.5 MPG around town - and i'm not hammering on the gas all the time either. One thing that might contribute to the poor mileage is my commute to work is about 3-4...

Of the 3 symptoms, I do have the first one - rough start in cold conditions, and I did have one instance where the car stalled. This was after driving for about 4 hours in the pouring rain, it stalled twice upon starting, and I had to give it gas in order for the car to stay running. This only...

It doesn't last very long, maybe a minute or two at most. I wasn't sure if it had something to do with this TSB: http://www.allworldauto.com/tsbs/NHTSA__MAZDA_MAZDASPEED6_technical_service_bulletin_264756.html

I've run into a problem lately with my speed 6 - its an 07, only 2500 miles on it. Whenever I start the car in the morning, it idles very high for a few minutes - around 1750-2000 RPM at first start. I haven't taken it back to the dealership yet, but it seems like something that started...

What are some of your driving habits like? I've got a brand new '07 GT (2k miles). My last tank, which was all driving around town, I got 17.4 MPG. Granted, it was a LOT of stop and start, maybe 5-6 miles per trip. On an all highway trip, I did get around 27.8. I'm wondering what RPMs folks are...

I've read some posts and reviews saying that DSC should be turned off unless you are in rain or snow conditions. Is this true? One review I read said that it prevents 5800 rpm shifts, faster launch, etc. I tried turning it off briefly, but couldn't tell much of a difference. Anyone have any...

I live in VT - I bought the car in New York state. They had 4 speed6 GT's less than 2 weeks ago, now 3 of them have sold. They have a silver one left that was a demo car w/ 4800 miles on it w/ nav + sunroof. The car is amazing, I was driving today in a torrential downpour, and thanks to the AWD...

I ended up buying the car over the weekend. I love it! 93 octane is easy to find around here, I live in Vermont. If anyone is interested in a speed 6, I know the dealership I went to - Cooley Mazda - has 2. Both are 07 GT's, one is silver (nav + sunroof) with 4,800 miles, and the other is...
