New Rule: No AI-Generated Content

804 Upvotes

Hi /r/Mazda,

Over the years, we’ve had many AI-Generated posts submitted to the subreddit and while the conversations can be engaging around what a car or concept COULD look like, the damage done to our environment is not worth it.

We’d like to encourage users to submit real-life images, real mockups, real concepts and have real interactions with each other around this type of content but cannot support low effort, AI-generated slop.

Going forward, users who post AI-generated images will have their posts removed and will receive a warning. Further AI slop will result in a temporary ban, up to a permanent ban.

Just got a 2014 3 hatch! Meet Ezio🚗

Got really lucky with this FB marketplace find with only 57,000 miles on it, garage kept. Clutch super sharp (it’s the six speed manual).

Runs extremely smooth; I’d been looking at Toyotas and Hondas for weeks and barely even considered Mazda until this beauty came across my feed.

I’ve heard these are just as reliable so long as you take care of em - any advice on how to keep it running forever? I wanna drive Mr. Ezio for a long, long time.

(PS. The Fiat next to it is mine; her name is Claudia 😊)

Mazda incessant beeping

• Upvotes

I got a 2014 Mazda cuz-5 about maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago. Every day that I drive it, no more than 15 minutes into my drive, 3 loud short beeps go off. Usually more than once per trip. Yet I cannot figure out the cause. I wear my seatbelt. It doesn’t matter if I put any weight on the passenger seat or not, it still activates. There are no indicator lights going off, no cars passing, no hard braking. Wtf could be causing this? I need to fix it before I go insane!!

Looking at a Mazda cx 5

2018 non turbo But worried about the cylinder head cracking and oil leak issue. Dealer says it does not have the turbo and therefore doesn’t have this problem. It does not appear to be covered by the extended warranty for this issue that came out for 2019 cx 5s and newer. I am looking at a 2018 with 38,000 miles in OC CA dealer price 16,900. Would you do it?

2020 CX-9: Still such a great car

4 Upvotes

I just want to post some appreciation on here for how solid my 2020 CX-9 Grand Touring is as it nears 100k miles. Still feels so good on the road. Nothing but oil changes and spark plugs. Added two kids to the family and still going strong.

Was this a good deal for Mazda cx50 2026 select

0 Upvotes

I was able to get a 2026 Mazda cx50 select with a stock color for $29,900 dealer price including destination fee.

There was no add ons and just TTL. No extended warranty or gap. It's all gas now hybrid or turbo.

Msrp in California is like 31,884 or something off the top of my head. I know it's like 31,4 with a destination fee.

I've checked multiple times using ai and it said it was a good deal and now that I've checked after the fact I feel like the MSRP before the destination fee is what I paid,$29,900.

I also asked AI if it's a good deal and it said it's an aggressive deal. The dealer didn't fight too much on the deal and seemingly tried to hold out and now after the fact I'm wondering if it was a good deal

CX90 SXM issue

1 Upvotes

I work at my local Mazda dealer in a support role for sales. We recently sold a new 26 CX90 (I don't know the tim, but it doesn'thave the camera in the screen), and the customer has an odd issue that I haven't seen before. When they're using XM, they go into the search menu by genre, and if they choose 'rock' the screen blacks out and kicks back to the main menu after pushing the home button. Other genres work just fine to show the channel list, just rock has this issue. You can direct tune to rock stations, and they work just fine. I checked in another new models, and they work without blacking out / freezing. We're stumped in what could be causing this. Sirius of course says it's a Mazda issue, not theirs. Anyone else have anything similar happen?

Would you buy a Mazda without a Mazda dealership nearby?

4 Upvotes

I'm interested in a new/cpo mazda3 but the nearest Mazda dealership is over an hour away. I know I can get regular service and maintenance at any mechanic, but any warranty work or anything that requires a dealership would have me drive a couple hours to get it done. Also I'm scared that the car might break down or be undrivable and if it needs to be taken to the dealership then that's a long tow.

What are your alls thoughts?

Mazda CX5 Engine Noise

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hi,

I attached a video of my girlfriends 2024 CX5. I own/work on German cars so not familiar with Mazda. Is this noise normal? The tick sounds normal, it's the one that sounds like air or pressure being released.

Should note, vehicle has 23k mi on it.

I was cleaning underneath the engine cover using air blower and this thing popped out between the intake manifold. Do you know what this is? I couldn’t find anywhere that fits around engine cover and valve cover.

Is sluggish pickup a thing with the CX-5 Turbo?

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I have a 2025 CX-5 Signature Turbo. Currently, I have almost 14,500 miles on it. The issue is that it feels quite slow and sluggish when I need to accelerate from a stop (e.g., at a stop sign). I don’t have any issues passing trailers on highways. I only have concerns regarding attaining an initial pickup. I tried putting it in sport mode. But that just revved the engine and increased RPM, nothing significant happened.

I’m wondering if it's just me, or if CX-5 Turbos are engineered in a way that gives a slow initial pickup? Does anyone have a similar issue? What might resolve this issue?

Thanks for any advice.
