The photo was taken in 2011 while the forum hosted meetings. This was taken at St Mary's Lighthouse in Whitley Bay. Regrettably, that was one of our last encounters. The members lacked the will to organise any further. The rising fuel costs and other challenges rendered it unfeasible to proceed.

Same here 😞 Continuing with Mazda anyway 🙂 It's pleasant to see that some familiar people are still around.

It seems that it is no longer available. https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/VehicleFound?locale=en

Do you mean this one?

ok,thanks 😁

Regards, I mistakenly believed that the USB discs were formatted as FAT32.

Greetings, everyone, I have a few inquiries about my just acquired Rio. The vehicle is equipped with an inflating kit instead of a spare tyre. KIA no longer provides the spare wheel kit for my vehicle model, only for those manufactured from 2017 forward. Is the RoadHero RH008 Space Saver Spare Wheel & Tyre Kit appropriate as a replacement for a Kia Rio [Mk3] 11-17? Any user feedback on this product? My radio with a USB input is displaying an error message when I try to play music from a new USB drive. Could the issue be related to the disc capacity (128GB) or the radio's compatibility with certain file types? Thank you

I am sceptical. The mileage readings of the CX-90 are consistently 2 to 3 miles higher than the actual distance travelled. It seems to be less precise while driving in urban areas. My typical fuel efficiency is around 22 mpg in city driving, 24-25 mpg with motorway travel, and 30-31 mpg on the highway, which is similar to or slightly better than the EPA estimates. The car's size is good, however the gas mileage indicator is unreliable and consistently inaccurate.

Have you successfully identified the underlying problem? I am encountering a same issue with my 2021 CX-30 vehicle.

The Hazet variant that I own is a fantastic piece of engineering. Redline emerges as the victor. I try to use their respective fluids in many applications, with the exception of motor oil due to financial constraints.

The situation at hand exhibits a comprehensive concealment of problems. I possess copious amounts of electronic correspondence and encountered difficulties, all of which will imminently be disseminated to multiple media platforms. The extent of the car's inadequacy is truly astonishing. Furthermore, there appears to be a lack of regulation concerning the entitlements of individuals who purchase these vehicles when faced with malfunctions. I extend my utmost well wishes and express my satisfaction that you have come to the realisation that the aforementioned action was not intended to ridicule you.

There were no instances of individuals engaging in mockery towards you. It is widely recognised within the United Kingdom that Mazda's typical response to reported faults is to assert that they have never encountered such issues before, despite the fact that numerous individuals have indeed experienced them. It would be beneficial for you to join the CX 60 Owners Club Facebook page, as doing so will provide you with insight into the aforementioned comment directed at Mazda. Mazda consistently disseminates falsehoods to their clientele, a statement supported by factual evidence. Please refer to my previous statement on the matter: The vehicle priced at $50,000 exhibits condensation on the glass under warm weather conditions. It is worth contemplating the potential severity of this issue during the months of January and February next year. This situation is deemed unsatisfactory.

Could you please clarify your statement? The "Mazda" brand has not been before seen.

My vehicle was photographed in early September during a period of warm weather. It is very absurd to see such a significant amount of condensation on a newly purchased automobile valued at $50,000. It is worth noting that I have refrained from driving the vehicle since then, as it has been undergoing repairs at a Mazda dealership due to the presence of seven defects. The automobile is of poor quality.

Was the rental car provided by Mazda?

I have seen the aforementioned film, and it has a considerable degree of informational value. In my perspective, the individual in question has used the term "problems" in an erroneous manner. It would be more precise to use the term "concerns"; but, this alternative phrasing may not generate a comparable level of online engagement. Fuel injection, ABS brakes, power steering, and catalytic converters were considered to be superfluous complexities. There is a lack of complaints about these matters in contemporary times. In the event of a power steering failure, the necessary repairs are undertaken to rectify the issue. Indeed, automobiles have seen a significant increase in complexity, resulting in a corresponding rise in maintenance costs. However, Mazda, along with other brands such as Toyota and Koenigsegg, faces the same challenge.

Fuse testers are a cost-effective and suitable first step in the process of identifying and resolving a parasitic drain. I own this particular item.

I recommend purchasing a bicycle from Halfords and availing their fitting services for a nominal fee of five units.

However, it should be noted that the product in question is not deemed unlawful since it has successfully through the necessary examinations. The act of non-compliance with emissions regulations is deemed unlawful only when vehicles are equipped with emissions control systems specifically designed to function exclusively during testing procedures, with the intention of evading detection. I would find it intriguing if super small vehicles were really achieving greater scores than buses, as opposed to my suspicion that the reported results for buses may be overstated. Furthermore, can it be attributed to the makers that the test fails to accurately depict real-world conditions? The test, which is well acknowledged to lack representativeness, has been shown to be unrepresentative. This finding does not come as a surprise, to be honest.

I am not especially concerned for many distinct reasons. The correlation between tail pipe emissions and fuel efficiency is evident, since the reported values for my vehicle align with the testing it underwent, implying that the testing process was conducted without any manipulation, unless there is a concealed catalytic converter bypass pipe, in which case the emissions may be affected. The engine style used by Mazda does not include inherent characteristics that facilitate the generation of deceptive data. One primary rationale for using downsizing strategies is the ability to operate a compact engine without turbo boost during standard performance evaluations, hence yielding excessively impressive statistics. Once the vehicle is in motion, it is necessary to engage the turbocharger, at which juncture the efficiency becomes comparable to that of an engine with a typical size. Although the skyactiv technology does not quite align with the stated statistics, it exhibits a notable improvement in efficiency compared to Mazda's previous 2.0 engine. Users on this platform report achieving better fuel consumption results than what my 1.6 engine is capable of achieving. This implies that substantial progress has been achieved, rather than only superficial adjustments. During my experience with the Skyactiv 2 equipped with a 1.5 engine, I saw a fuel efficiency improvement of 10 miles per gallon compared to my previous 1.5 Suzuki vehicle. Remarkably, this level of efficiency was on par with our diesel Citroen model. Once again, it should be noted that the mentioned improvement pertains to real-world application rather than being a hypothetical or theoretical concept. I hope that the company in question has not used any defeat devices. In my opinion, their reported results tend to be more dependable compared to those of other manufacturers. Alternatively, one may get a greater proportion of the stated figures with more frequency.

Upon examination, it was discovered that the emissions of a skyactiv Mazda 6, as reported by the press, exceeded the declared levels by a factor of four under regular use. However, it is plausible that the test protocol lacks congruity with real-world scenarios. If I were in possession of an x3 BMW, my level of restlessness would be far higher, exceeding the limit by a factor of nine. Nevertheless, it is important to distinguish between using a test that is inadequately constructed and intentionally engineering a vehicle to deceive the test and operate in a manner that is completely non-compliant under normal conditions. This is the reason why Volkswagen (VW) is now facing significant challenges, as it may potentially undergo a revised taxes and testing framework that applies universally.

The purchase of an SD card from the Mazda store for a total of $475 is somewhat expensive.

Thank you for your prompt reply. It is advantageous to possess knowledge of this information, since I was previously unaware of the appropriate course of action. The chair in my possession is upholstered with leather material. I am required to locate an upholstery establishment in Toronto that has the capability to do this task.

Apologies. I am in possession of a 2017 Mazda 3 vehicle. I am grateful for your assistance and extend my appreciation to you.
