Snagged this beauty today for a whopping $2750! I’ve had a cx-5 for almost 10 years now and love it. Always kind of wanted a 3 to go with it. Happened to be on marketplace the other day and came across this gem. It’s a 2014 Mazda 3 S-Touring with a crisp 214,000 miles on it. The seller was disappointed her mechanics computer system only went back to 2018 but I was given service documentation for a solid chunk of its life. Single owner and meticulously maintained. She could just no longer justify maintenance cost on it. Currently needs a full set of brakes and a battery. Other than that this thing is mint. Has had lots of bits and pieces replaced and even a new set of tires like 4 months ago. She was quoted almost $2500 to do the brakes and battery. I’m going to order what I need and take care of it next week. At worst I’m looking at $1k in parts. I think this car could be one of those that ends up with a crazy odometer reading. A quick spin around the neighborhood and I’m already in love with it.

Would anyone be interested, if i updated/upgraded the MZD-AIO project (https://github.com/Trevelopment/MZD-AIO) made it more user friendly and added more features obviously with the help from the communities?

I plan on getting the 2026 CX5 Premium AWD. This is the quote they gave me. Is $39,733 OTD a good deal or can I talk them down more? I plan on shopping around but I just wanted to get an idea of which price I should target first. My goal was around $37-$38k if possible.

Hi everyone!
I’m considering buying a 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid with around 11,000 miles, and the dealer is offering it for $29,000 out the door (including taxes, title, registration, and fees).
I wanted to get your opinions before making a decision.
Is $29,000 OTD a good deal for a 2025 CX-50 Hybrid with 11K miles?
Would you recommend buying it, or paying more for a 2026 model?
Since 2025 was the first model year for the CX-50 Hybrid, are there any reliability issues I should be aware of?
Is there anything specific I should check before purchasing?
If you’ve bought one recently, what price did you pay?
I’d appreciate any advice or real-world ownership experiences. Thanks!

Hello, I'm looking for what a 2014 Mazda 3 isport is really worth. Its got 120k miles. No ac. Everything else is in great working condition. Drives very well. 2 little dents. Paint is a bit worn. New tires, brakes and battery. In southern California. KBB said 8k but I've had zero luck. Any ideas on a price that will actually move it and be reasonable for both parties?

My mom currently drives a 2007 Nissan Murano with over 200k miles, so I’m trying to find her something reliable that’ll last. I was originally considering the Nissan Rogue, but the engine and transmission issues made me reconsider. Now I’m leaning toward a 2021–2024 Mazda CX-5.

For those who own one, how reliable has it been? Any major issues or specific years to avoid? Just want to make sure I’m making a good choice for my mom! Thank you!!!

Can any 2026 CX 5 owners offer their input on the driving experience? Particularly highway driving. Is merging and accelerating adequate with this engine? This would be for a daily commuter and I want to make sure it would be up to the task before investing too much time into researching the options. Thanks in advance.

I’m in the market for a new car. Preferably an SUV. I’m coming from a 2017 VW Passat. I’ve had it for 10 years and have had almost no issues with it. I actually didn’t realize how much I liked the car until I started thinking about getting rid of it. It truly has been great to me for a decade.

I drove the Tiguan SE Rline. Really like it, but I’m nervous I won’t get the same dependability I’ve received with the Passat. My biggest gripe with my Passat is I really wish I had premium Audio. In the Tiguan you can’t get upgraded speakers unless you’re in the highest trim and I don’t think the increased price it worth it for me.

On a whim, I stopped my a Mazda dealer to check out the CX50 Hybrid and CX5 premium.

I really wanted to like the 50 but the back seat was just too small for my needs.

At first I hated the 5. Then 2 days later I went back for a second test drive and liked it much more than my first drive. Still a bit slow but not crazy slow. I spent more time with the screen and got a good handle on navigating it. While it’s a “good size” I do wishthe back seat was a little bit bigger, but it will work as is.

When I went to talk numbers I was surprised that the dealer wouldn’t move more than $1800 off MSRP (for comparison im $7,500 off MSRP on the Tiguan. While the Mazda has a few more features than the Tiguan, the lack of negotiating power make it feel like I’m not getting a “deal”. I even called the highest volume Mazda dealer in my area that’s known for providing high volume sales, thus provides great pricing. This volume dealer was very close in pricing to the dealer I was working with. Does $1500-1800 off MSRP seem like a solid deal to you?

I also drove a CX70 premium and really liked it. I started researching the 70 and 90s (inline 6) and really liked them. But their seems to be mixed reviews. I’m having trouble determining if the reviews are talking about problems with the PHEV model or even the 6 cylinder models as well. I’m aware of the issues with the PHEV models. What is the general consensus on the inline 6 cx 70/90/ls in terms of reliability?

Thanks gang. I hope to join you all with a new Mazda soon! Please share anything that you think I might be overlooking. ** **

I was just rewatching Xmen 2 with my Son and cyclops drives a custom blue 2004 Mazda RX-8.

Very nice car.

Got this smiling goober as my first car, 174k km.
Had a bunch of work done on it, now it drives like a dream!

It happily joins my dad's CX-5 in the driveway

Hey everyone,

I have a 2014 Mazda 6 that makes a creaking noise when I’m coming to a slow stop. I initially thought the problem was a bad brake caliper, so I bought a used replacement caliper from eBay and installed it, but the noise is still there.

One strange thing I noticed was that one of the bolts holding the sliding pin on the used caliper was extremely tight. I couldn’t even loosen it.

Now I’m wondering if the problem could be related to the brake pads, rotors, slide pins, caliper bracket, or possibly something else.

Has anyone experienced a similar creaking noise when braking at low speeds on a Mazda 6? What turned out to be the cause, and how did you fix it?

Also, could that seized or overly tight sliding-pin bolt be a sign of a problem?

I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions on what I should check next. Thanks!

Has anybody heard any updates on the replacement of the squeaky Cx-70 brakes? I got a letter back in the spring stating they are going to replace them and haven’t heard anything more. I know they are starting to compete the replacements on the 90 but haven’t heard anything regarding the 70 🫩

It usually makes this rattling/humming sound around 1500rpm. 2.5l turbo. 150k just started happening a month or so ago
