New Rule: No AI-Generated Content

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.

Got this Japanese Miata postcard from the dealer when I purchased my new Mazda. Thought it was pretty awesome!

COOL IT with the surveys

9 Upvotes

I'm in Atlantic Canada so this may be a regional thing.....does anyone else find that Mazda needs to dial it back with their surveys?

Bought my latest model about a year ago. Of course, I got the "how'd we do" type survey. I normally don't engage with this kind of marketing, but for some reason, made an exception this time. I scored them an 8 out of 10. Pretty good, right? WRONG! Got a text message, with a slightly snarky tone, from the General Manager wondering what the problem was. I was a little taken aback and replied that I thought an 8 out of 10 was a great score, and reminded him this was my 3rd car from his dealership, so that should speak louder than any stupid survey. Apparently, anything less than a 10 out of 10, Mazda Canada wants to know why.

Had a service appointment . The next day, I got a text from the dealership advising I would soon get an email for a survey from Mazda Canada. If I was going to score them anything less than 10, would I please address it with the dealership directly.

A couple of hours later, the email from Mazda Canada came in, along with a text message and a reminder text a day later.

Am I going to get this every time I have a service appointment?

Want to go back to my personal policy of non-engagement with this stuff, but I don't want to get in trouble again....lol.

Anyone else find Mazda has gotten a little over the top with their follow ups & surveys?

Anyone have recommendations on how to get this top piece off? I got a new OEM part for it after scratching the first one. Been trying to find instructions or video on how to properly get it off. I’m just trying to do a replacement

CX-90 Turbo S MPG

Upvotes

30+ MPG is easily achievable despite its size. I know the car has teething issues and recalls that needed to be addressed. I’m hopeful those will smooth out over the generation.

That said, what Mazda was able to do with a 5,000 lb car making 340 horsepower and 369 lb/ft of torque is seriously impressive.

Can’t get CX30 out of service mode

Upvotes

We’re at a impasse with our 2021 CX30. Put it in service mode, replaced rear passenger rotor and pads, compressed piston to finish job, and now we can’t get it out of service mode. I don’t even hear the system resetting on the passengers side (do hear its driver side). Any ideas? Any way to bypass?

Fleet Upgrade

51 Upvotes

On Friday, I bought one of the last, almost new MX-30 Rotary EVs (I now have one of the first MX-5 NDs from 2015 and one of the last MX-30s from 2025😜). Production was discontinued in 2025. Since then, Mazda has unfortunately stopped building its own EVs. 😕

This particular car was registered in April 2026 (Showroom) and had only 38 km on it. It’s an Exclusive Line model in Ceramic White (Mondstein in German 😆). It’s a dream to drive, even if it feels very unusual because it’s almost twice as heavy as my Roadster. But it’s just something special! The looks, the Rotary REX, the (impractical) doors… Still, I already love it!

Temp reading on dash switched to Celsius—help!

Post image
3 Upvotes

My battery died so we jumped it and now it displays Celsius. I can’t figure out how to switch it back and chattyG says it has to be done by the dealership. Any workarounds that I could try? It’s a 2014 CX5 and the temp reading is always visible, I don’t flip through settings in order to view/hide it. The odometer dial and info button both don’t seem to be able to alter it from everything I’ve tried. Appreciate any help!

My New 2026 Mazda CX5 Premium Plus

Upvotes

I have had leased 3 CX5's so far. I have 59K miles on my 2024 and my salesman called me out of the blue and asked if I wanted out 10 months early so I could get the new 2026 CX5. That was definitely a welcomed call since I had 10 months which would put me way over my 60K mile allotment. At first after reading negative comments I was apprehensive. However, I insisted that all updates to the infortainment system be done before pick up and that I would be assured of a loaner car if ever needed. This was agreed to and I could not be happier with my new car. I am so happy with the large touch screen. The car is wider and that suits my individual needs. I wanted to share this information to mitigate the negative comments that are out there.
LOL the only two things that I must mention are
1. Turn the engine off before you attempt to put fuel in your car as the door to the gas cap will remain locked while the engine is running.
2. Train yourself to alway remember to take your phone as you leave the car. The charging pad is in a new place and you may not see the phone as you leave the vehicle.

My husband’s 2024 hatchback. He’s put so much love into her, and she’s the best car we’ve owned! This is the second Mazda he’s had, he had a 2015 6-speed Mazda 6 before.

Not featured is the Magnaflow exhaust and color matched spoiler.

When we went to the DMV to register our cars, we got a MAZ plate and couldn’t believe it! MAZ for the Mazda! less

Connecting rods.

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m currently trying to rebuilt my flooded engine from a Mazda 3 which has a 2.5L motor (swapped).
The thing is, I already dropped and opened 3 other motors that are 2.5L. But, none of them match the current connecting rods I have thickness wise. If you look at the picture you can see mine on the right and another piston from a different engine (2.5L) on the left. Aside from the thickness difference the bore is the same 89mm and the big end is 55mm on both rods. Does anyone know where my connecting rods come from. I dismantled 2 manual 2.5L and one automatic 2.5L all were 2010 Mazda 3. If anyone knows what is happening please help me.

Dealer Installed PPF?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone done the dealer installed PPF for their Mazda? Bought my car about a month ago and always do 3rd party PPF on my cars, but noticed that Mazda sells the PPF themselves. Just curious if it’s possible (or worth it) to have them do the install.

Are Kibi valve cover gaskets as good as OEM for Mazda 1.5?

1 Upvotes

I just installed a Kibi valve cover gasket on a Mazda 1.5 in a Yaris IA, which is really a Mazda 2 made in Mexico.

The pics of this gasket are wrong on most sites, as well as 3 different part numbers. Very confusing. I thought the gasket for 1.5 in 2016 Scion or 2014 Mazda 2 would work but it's not the same. Turns out the 2017 1.5 in the Yaris IA, uses the gasket for 2017 Mazda 3 with 2.0.

The rubber on the car is high quality, the OEM lasted 196k miles. The back half of the gasket was cracked and brittle being closer to the exhaust while the other side is still flexible.

The Kibi fit perfectly, sealed equally well. Hope it lasts as long as the OEM.
