I bought a Mazda CX-5 dealer test car with 300 Km's on it back in 2015 when I moved up to Osaka. I drive a LOT and was getting the oil changed roughly every 5000 km's per Mazda's recommendation.
Just turned 160k miles on my 2013 mazda3 with the 2.0 skyactiv.
Other than new england winter requiring me to replace a rotted out oil pan, this car has been excellent.
I got a K&N filter and I like it, though it ended up being a tad on the large side. I don't think it matters much compared to any other cone filter, but that's just me
I have a Mazda3 Hatchback and I'm switching from A/S tires to summers. Probably gonna go for the Pilot Sport 4 S
I too use PowerStops in my 2015 Mazda 3 s GT and 2017 CX-9 GT. Second set in my Mazda 3. They are superior to the OEM and cost ~$200 + tax for both axels including pads, rotors, all hardware and lubricant. Surfacing the old rotors is not worth it.
I replaced brakes on my wife’s CX5 for about $200 in PowerStop parts. Easy peasy.
Took the car in for a service , got a work car and it's been driving the Rx much less. I wouldn't have done it all at once, so did a service, replaced brake pads.
I supplied my own oil filter, a Wix 57002 for my 2020 6.
I’ve had plenty of visible scratches appear over the 4 years I had my 2019 cx3. And I don’t mean small surface ones only, some were noticeable when touching them with my nail, and I had so many of those that it was actually becoming a problem, towards the end before I recently sold it, because it would cause sun glare and catch me off guard while driving sometimes. Only car I’ve had that had it that bad.
I bought a 23 CX-30 in June and already have two chips in my windshield, both from seemingly small rocks. I do a lot of interstate driving and have driven Ford, Toyota, VW, and Honda previously and none of them seemed to chip as easily. I feel like anything that touches my windshield damages it and it makes me not want to drive. In my old cars, I was often shocked that they didn’t get damaged. I hate seeing the chips and even with repairs, they’re visible.
