Soooo I decided to name my 3 kittens after Mazda related things a few months ago and thought yall would find it cool. So first is Miata, he’s an orange and white calico. Then we have Cosmo, named after the Mazda Cosmo, he is a ragdoll, white with blue eyes. Then Eunos, named after Mazda’s luxury brand from the 90’s, Eunos is an orange cat and wow is he a menace. Pictures attached!

Anyone notice the update? It seems better for now.

Saw this when scheduling service and have small ding I would not mind disappearing as they claim, but wondering as to approx cost and results of work done… has anyone done previously? Any info related is helpful.

Oh man! The press and hold was cool

I want to look at and discuss Mazda's current line-up, Mazda's up-market push, the future of the (US) market, and predictions.

Firstly, the huge push for EVs in the US is dead. This isn't anti-EV, and I do still think every single manufacturer will eventually have a solid EV line-up sort of like every phone manufacturer is now building folding phones. I'm not going to give Mazda credit for waiting, when really they simply didn't have the resources as a small manufacturer.

For Mazda whose biggest market is the US, the future is undeniably hybrid. Let's look at the CX-5 which Mazda will finally be implementing their in-house hybrid system. I'm hoping it's reliable, closer to Honda's fun-to-drive system, and fuel efficient. Looking at the CX-5, I think it's a good car, but I know a lot of people are very disappointed by the minimalist/digital interior. I think Mazda will likely backtrack on this, or at least they should backtrack and reimplement SOME physical controls. We see this with Volkswagen and the golf. We see this with Toyota's RAV4 where management acknowledge they might've gone too far. I think eventually Mazda will too, and they should. This will remain as Mazda's bread and butter.

Next, is the CX-70/90. Mazda is already dropping the CX-70 per rumors, and simply offering the 90 as two or three row. I think it's safe to admit that the CX-70/90 platform is mostly a failure. It's not just tariffs, it's the reliability and reputation of these models. Every new year people swear up and down the multiple, various issues have been fixed, I don't see how someone unfamiliar is suppose to be able to know. Even I would opt for another brand if I were in the market. This is such a huge disappointment given that Mazda had so much riding on this platform. It was a huge push up-market in both performance and luxury having a BMW-like longitudinal RWD platform.

The question becomes, what's next? Can Mazda give this model a huge facelift and updates that attract buyers into thinking the model is completely issue-free? Will they finally put the powertrain into a non-SUV? They've invested so much into the platform, and I feel like they need a huge facelift to inject attention into the platform.

Then there's the Mazda 3. I have no idea what's going to happen with this vehicle other than Mazda's going to extend the life of it for at least another 2-3 years without a new generation. It seems like everyone is doing that. I don't think Mazda's in a position to develop a whole new 3 and gambling on a RWD Mazda 6 might be too big of a risk no matter how much I want it. They could give it a minor CX-5 like update adding more interior space, adjusting the exterior, with new styling on the interior. I wouldn't mind that with the new hybrid system although I was really hoping for a PHEV RWD/AWD Mazda 6 + i6 Turbo Mazda 6.

What are your thoughts? Personally don't know about the CX-30, and I think there are enough rumors about the Miata.

The front headrests in my CX-70 push my head forward uncomfortably, no matter how I adjust the seat, causing bad neck and lower back pain.

What I've tried:

• Mazda's built-in "Optimal position for your height" auto-adjustment, which doesn't fit my body proportions at all.
• Read-up on optimal driving position and adjusted accordingly, with no luck.
• Tried every conceivable variation of positions. If I tilt the seat back to where the headrest doesn't push on my head, then I'm slouching, and either the steering wheel is too far away when extended as far as it goes, or I scoot the seat forward enough to reach the steering wheel, but then my legs are cramped in the footwell.
• Flipped the headrest backwards, which doesn't push on my head, but leaves a 2-3 inch gap between my head and the headrest, which isn't ideal for comfort or safety.

I plan to try a lumbar support placed behind my shoulders, and I'm going to contact upholstery shops to see if they can thin the head rest a bit.

I've seen other posts about this issue, so I'm hoping someone has come up with a solution. Otherwise, I may have to sell this CX-70, because the pain is that bad.

Hi all,

My 2023 CX-30 was dented recently in a parking lot hit & run and now I'm looking to have repairs done. Of course, it is Soul Red Crystal Metallic, so I want to be extra careful about the shop I select. I found this link to the Mazda Collision Network and there are four shops near me in the greater Atlanta area.

So, do any of you have experience with repair shops in or out of network? Especially repairs done on a CX-30 or with SRCM paint, and bonus points if anyone has experience with one of the four Atlanta shops listed below!

(Mods, if I need to remove the list below and put it in the comments please lmk and I will update the post)

Thanks in advance :)

Im waiting for next gen miata myself !!

I curbed my wheel. It looks terrible and I'm now in deep with my wife. 2026 CX-90. Are there any options to make this look better?

I’ve got my eye on the 2026 Mazda 3, however I noticed people are saying there’s issues with the CCV - apparently the fail safe thermostat gets stuck? I did see there’s been a software update last winter, curious to know does anyone own a 3 with this engine and did the update fix it?

Anyone had a good experience with a Mazda Finance Manager?
Not getting a good vibe from some of them, prefer to work with a referral.

Looking anywhere in the GTA, Ontario

So I’m buying a 2024 cx5 with 24k miles on it that’s still covered for one more year under the original warranty and has the 7 year CPO limited warranty until 2030.

I has my own financing outside of the dealership which was irritating to them, so of course there was a hard sell for extended coverage when I met the final boss, Financing Guy.

I’ve owned used cars forever and have never even purchased a certified car, so I thought I was already doing great. But afterwards rebuffing his hard sell and going home after signing the decline docs, he reached out to make me another offer.

He’s offering 100mi/7 year coverage from the date of my purchase for $2600. It boosts my total payment into a number I was trying to avoid, I’m already spending more than I planned on after taxes and fees murdered me, so I’m on the fence.

Are people buying these plans? I realize the electronics now are nuts and fail a lot, but don’t people just save money and wait for the repair bill to arrive? I don’t want to make a poor choice but I also can’t afford to spend more than necessary.
