    2017~2025 Possibly buying CX-5...

    Currently I have a Ford C-Max hybrid crossover, which for the most part I love - it never got the respect it deserves IMO. 45mpg! I will probably run out the extended warranty (or trade it in next time I'm staring down a $1,000 bill for new tires) but I'm starting to look at what's out there as...

    So who's getting a 2016 Miata?

    Well, I was cruising around in the Cosmo today and I thought, why don't I stop by the local Mazda dealer and check it out...Unfortunately, every Mazda dealer in my area is closed today (they're all part of the same group). Perhaps it was a "Cosmic" sign that I shouldn't even consider a new...

    Low weight flywheel on a Skyactiv engine?

    So, I've been wanting a bit more, aggressive characteristics from my 2012 Skyactiv 3. I was wondering if anyone has installed a light weight flywheel on theirs? How it handled it, do we use the same flywheel as the older 2.0 liter? Does anyone make one that'll fit if we don't? I'm giving it some...

    2015 Skyactiv M6 Oil Change

    Any recommendations on 0w-20 oil used with the Skyactiv engines. The manual recommends Castrol or the Mazda brand with molly. I thought I would use the Castrol since it is easier to source and cheaper then going through the dealership. Any known benefits of the Mazda molly?

    2015 Mazda6 in Canada Too!

    Proud owner of a 2015 Mazda6 GS. My 2002 Nissan Altima was toast after only 137,000 kms (85,000 miles). When looking for a new car, I wanted something that looked good, was full sized, had excellent fuel mileage, and had a manual tranny. The manual was nearly impossible to find in the class...

    Well, looks like Mazda will be entering Le Mans... next year. I watched a a bit of this year's Le Mans, but of course no Mazdas. I'll admit the Delta Wing was pretty cool, for the few seconds before the crash with the Toyota (probably acceleration problems..:D). Anyways, earlier in the year...
