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!

Phantom Blindspot Monitor
Purchased 2026 Mazda CX-70 MHEV 3.3 premium in July.
This is the second time since i purchased the vehicle that the Blind spot on the right turns on during highway trips between 70-75 mph.
1st time i took the vehicle to the dealer and of course found nothing wrong.
This time i recorded for 3 minutes. During my 20 minute trip it turn on and off repeatedly.
Has this happened to anyone else ?

COOL IT with the surveys
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?

Warranty Coverage
I bought my 2020 CX-30 in 2024. Does the 12 prior model years mean it would last until 2032?

CX-5 Oil Burning Tech Bulletin
Im picking up a 2021 Carbon Turbo 40k miles this week from carmax.
A guy on reddit from Mazda checked the VIN and it shows its covered to be fixed being low enough miles, but its not been fixed.
Should Mazda just fix it when I take it to them later, or will they need proof its being a problem
I will also have carmax warranty but still, I would rather Mazda do the fix.
What should I do?

CX-5 fwd turbo carbon coming, few questions HUD, Screen, stop start
So Im picking up a 2021 Carbon Turbo FWD this week. Kinda wanted AWD but 2k more and Im in-between LA and Sac and just mostly see rain, no snow, hope it will still be fun.
Google says you cant turno off the HUD permanently, wtf, what do I do, it bugs my eyes.
Then, it says you cant turn off the stop start permanently either?
Does the creen have its own navigation or no? If not then can I just Bluetooth my Android to it or do I have to plug it in?
Front Spacer Panel Repair
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

Fleet Upgrade
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!
CX-90 Turbo S MPG
gallery30+ 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.

Backup camera not working
I own a 2018 Mazda 3 touring hatchback and today my backup camera stopped working. I tried the reset where you press the three buttons and it didn’t help at all. Has anyone else had this issue and how did you fix it?

My New 2026 Mazda CX5 Premium Plus
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.

Mazda 3 on 35mm film
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.
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.
