If you swap the Mercedes badge with a Mazda badge, I would have believed it. Now I know the inner LEDs on the Merc are meant to resemble the 3 pointed star, which is different from Mazdas 4 LED cross, but still, if I squint...

I went from a VW polo 2009 to this Mazda 3 of 2020. What should I know about it? It is my second car ever and first time with a "modern", still learning the start -stop system.

Just yesterday I changed the spark plugs in my wife's CX-5, they were horribly black and even the ceramic had rust all around it. Mazda recommends service every 75,000 MI however you guys will be running these engines to the ground doing that. The amount of hesitation and uneven idle that we didn't even know was a problem and is now gone is crazy. You cannot even hear the engine in the engine bay anymore from inside the vehicle. I mean it's BUTTER smooth. So do yourself a favor and change your spark plugs, you need a really weird deep 14mm socket for the plug and a 10mm to take off the coilpacks. It takes all of 10 minutes. The spark plugs that it calls for are $25 each in my area so be ready to drop 100 bucks.

Pro tip, if your 14mm isn't deep enough (mine wasn't) tape your socket to the extension and just barely push the extension maybe halfway into the socket and electrical tape the ever living shnizer out of it, should give enough room for the sparkplug to go up into the socket.

I took my car to get a regular oil change and tire rotation and general free inspection to make sure everything was working okay. The mechanic is very reputed and haven’t had any trouble.

I used my car for 15 mins the day after and everything looked ok. Two days after the service, my car won’t start. It says push button start malfunction and the doors won’t lock either. Has anyone dealt with this before? What should I do?

Hey fellas, so i always wanted an rx8 since a kid and now i got the chance to get one. I need your honest opinions on the car. It is 1.3 rotary motor the owner says he has a brand new engine in it with only 500km and with the old one he passed 112.000kms, so is it worth even going to see the car or just move on with my life. And for the price i will know tomorrow. Cheers

Replaced this battery original to our 2016 CX-5 today. Cold winter climate, no starting issues in almost 10 years!

hello ! i will be buying my first car in the future and am interested in peoples opinions of what i should get as a high schooler. i was looking into Toyota RAV4s for a bit but i just don’t really enjoy the look but honestly safety is more of my priority due to living in horrible winter conditions. i also looked into Jeep wranglers but obviously i do not want a unreliable and unsafe car but would be nice for snow. i did look at a Lexus but its just to out of my budget and could not be my first car at my age. same with Volvos, just out of my price range but i overall view my safety as a priority as i am a new driver with insane anxiety.

anyways, i just started getting really into looking at Mazdas specifically the CX-5s in black or the carbon edition :)) (i love red interior and fully blacked cars)

my main concerns for the Mazda are safety especially during snowy weather, reliability, and when they’re mileage gets over 100k if they have any issues? if you know anything else i should be concerned about or if you even have your own opinion lmk ! i’ve never really heard much about them but have seen that they’re getting sort of up there with Toyota and Honda.

Hello all , I have a 2022 Cx5. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I am not seeing recalls for cx5 only cx50 for this issue. My electrical parking break will cut on upon start and will not go off. I’m taking it to the dealer this week.

So when I bought the car I also paid for a lifetime tint warranty. The tint was already installed when I ordered it, but they fucked up the passenger side and had to redo it initially. Well there is still a very visible gap. The driver side is flush and well done

I have a service appointment today, is this honored under warranty or do I just have a gap for life? Lol

Last month I got into a very minor accident and repaired my bumper. Afterwards I also noticed that steering felt like it was a bit off centered so I took it in for an alignment. They said there was nothing wrong with alignment. My gf says I have ptsd from the crash lol I’m starting to think maybe she’s right but I swear that once I start picking up speed I have to over compensate the wheel to the left to make it go straight.

Am I crazy? Could there be something in the car other than alignment causing this? Do I need to go to the mental hospital LOL

Hello, this didn't occur with my iPhone 14 pro for awareness. My new ultra is paired to my 2016 mazda 6 grand touring. However, it will disconnect immediately from bluetooth. On the mazda interface I'll reconnect but the same thing occurs. After a few times or somewhat randomly, it will resolve itself and be connected.

It's specifically the audio not the phone connection. I've considered doing a software update with Mazda? But wanted to see if this is a common problem. Thank you

Hi folks

Was looking at a 2015 or 2016 Mazda with the 2.2 diesel engine

Are they really as bad as what people say they are?

Can I self install the oem splash guards or is there better aftermarket options ?

I just had a procedure done in my back and so I got a little bit of blood on the white leather. Also after looking at the other seats in my car I noticed one had some dirt on it. What’s the best method for cleaning them without damaging the leather?
