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...

hi I have a maz3 2.5 GT sp25 2016 just wondering if anyone knows around how much the engine is detuned when it comes out of the factory, also I'm looking to get engine back exhaust and a tune does anyone have personal experience if it is worth it? thanks

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...

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...

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?

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...

I've recently run into a few odd electrical issues in my '12 Mazda 3, not sure if anyone else has seen these problems with their cars or not... 1. Headlights are flashing/pulsing when I brake. I put in a new battery because the OEM wasn't up to the task of reliable starting in the brutally cold...

Hi All, Just looking for some answers - and feedback. Hope you can help. I purchased a new 2014 CX-5 Touring FWD June 21st 2013 Everything was great for the first 13 days. After that, I noticed the car started to shake in idle. So I call the salesman who sold me the car and he told me to...

Hello all - first time poster and recent lurker. The 2013 Mazda 5 GT is a perfect fit for our family. We have test driven it numerous times and enjoy the handling, capacity and especially the price. FWIW, here in the Philadephia, PA, US area i am able to get it for $25,090.93 out-the-door...

I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays and thank you for being a part of Mazdas247! Despite the blizzard and cold temps, I had a great time this year at Mazda Fan Festa 2012. It was really nice to see Mazda Japan heavily involved in the festivities. Mazda showcased the all-new Atenza /...

Very impressive showing of this year's model in action! Love it! (2thumbs)

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...
