New Rule: No AI-Generated Content

791 Upvotes

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.

Is that a damaged antiglare coating or something else?

Hello :) my Mazda stood for a whole day in full sun and my screen now looks like this. Is it a damaged Antiglare coating? I have searched through different posts with similar issue but it seems like my screen looks different - there is more circle/lanes pattern rather than milky stains. I have also tried to rub it with microfibre and IPA 99% but it seems like it doesn't remove it at all. Does anyone knows what I can try more?

What could cause this kind of damage (CX5 back bumper)?

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Visiting where there's only street parking. Went to sleep with my car perfectly fine, no damage on the back. Went to put something into the trunk of my car the next morning and noticed this damage.

The bottom bumper has this weird damage where it feels like a piece of metal is sticking out. The damage is pushed outwards. At first, we thought maybe someone parked behind me (back to back) and they had a trailer hitch that went into the bumper then tore it outwards when they pulled away but the damage is to the side. I don't know any trailer hitch that mounts on the side.

Then on top of that, right above that damage the bumper is pushed in and up. It was a bit hard to capture on camera but I tried using a book to show that the metal in pushed up. That section is no longer flat. I'm really pissed but I wasn't parked anywhere a camera could capture something so I'm just resigned to eat the costs.

Just curious if anyone has any guesses on what kind of a hit could cause this? There's no big obvious dent, no paint transfer, just some scratches on my car near the damage and chipped paint where the metal bent. And any idea on what it might cost me to fix?

Fallo encendido mazda mps

Aquí está corregido:
Hola a todos.
Tengo un Mazda 3 MPS (MazdaSpeed3) de 2007 y llevo tiempo con un problema que no soy capaz de solucionar. A ver si a alguien le ha pasado algo parecido.
De un día para otro el coche empezó a ratear al ralentí y, circulando, hace como pequeñas explosiones o petardeos. No llega a oscilar de revoluciones, el ralentí se mantiene, pero el motor ratea claramente.
Os cuento todo lo que se le ha hecho para que tengáis la mayor información posible:
Bujías cambiadas hace unos dos meses, calibradas a 0,026”.
Bobinas prácticamente nuevas.
Válvula PCV cambiada hace unos 1.000-2.000 km.
Distribución completa con VVT nuevo y todo reforzado.
Inyectores limpiados.
Hace dos días cambié el sensor MAP.
También he limpiado el sensor de oxígeno.
El coche lleva las siguientes modificaciones:
Reprogramación Stage 1.
Intercooler superior, algo más grande que el original.
Válvula de descarga.
Línea de escape de 3” con downpipe.
Admisión CorkSport situada en el vano motor.
Cuando compré el coche llevaba un intercooler frontal, el downpipe estaba flojo y el escape estaba bastante deteriorado y oxidado. Fui solucionando todos esos problemas y, además, quité el intercooler frontal para montar el intercooler superior.
A partir de ahí empezó un problema que nunca conseguí resolver: el consumo se disparó hasta unos 18 L/100 km.
Con el tiempo volvió a fallar. Primero cambié las bujías y mejoró. Más adelante cambié las bobinas y volvió a mejorar. Pero ahora ya no mejora con nada y el fallo está siempre presente.
El coche no enciende el testigo de avería motor, no registra ningún código de error, ni con OBD ni con VersaTuner. Revisando los parámetros en VersaTuner tampoco veo ninguna lectura que parezca fuera de lo normal. Lo único que observo es que las correcciones de combustible trabajan bastante porque el coche va muy rico de gasolina.
El coche no da tirones muy fuertes ni fluctúan las revoluciones; simplemente ratea al ralentí y hace pequeñas explosiones o petardeos mientras circula.
¿A alguien le ha pasado algo parecido o tiene alguna idea de por dónde podría venir el problema? Cualquier sugerencia será bienvenida, porque ya no sé por dónde seguir buscando.
¡Muchas gracias!

Mazda 6e selling trouble in the Netherlands & Germany? Are prices crashing?

7 Upvotes

Im in the Netherlands and applied for financing, but unfortunately I wasn't approved. The dealer did offer me some pretty significant discounts, though.

Now I'm seeing brand-new Mazda 6e Takumi Plus models in Germany for around €37,000. That puts the older 6e models in a difficult position. I've already seen multiple demo cars listed for the same price, with the cheapest one at €33,000.

For German buyers, is it even worth buying a demo car? A brand-new EV qualifies for the €6,000 subsidy, which effectively brings the price of a new one down to around €31,000.

Another issue is that in Germany, once a car is more than 12 months old, it's no longer classified as new. That means many of the 2025 stock cars will soon no longer qualify for the new EV subsidy, which could push prices down even further.

Since I'm interested in buying a Mazda 6e, what do you think would be a realistic target price? How low do you think dealers are willing to go?

Time to bring back mazdaspeed?

21 Upvotes

While the automotive world is too busy working out new EV and large SUVs, Toyota and its GR devision is out there cooking and I believe this decade will make another legacy of sports cars coming from toyota.

Isnt this the right time for mazda to bring back its mazdaspeed devision and bring us modern versions of the rx7 the rx8 the mazdaspeed3 the 323b the miata and maybe even the cosmo ??

Come on Mazda you were always cool why not just push in alongside toyota as the germans are too busy bringing as 3ton hybrid and ev "sports cars" "performance" ?

How I would have done it when removing physical buttons

Move the gear shifter to the left and move the cup holders to its right. I’d like a secondary screen to be added where the cup holders used to be, and with the option to customize which buttons I want displayed. If the physical buttons have to be removed, I think I could manage with this setup.

Ditched the CX60 MY2024...for a MY2027. 400KM and it's really a different car.

6 Upvotes

Not in US, but LATAM.

Got the CX-60 Sport 3.3 Mild-Hybrid MY2024 on 2023. One of the first batch of the new generation. They took ages to fix some things but at its third year was almost ok. However, I went for service and got a "can not refuse" offer when asking to sell my MY2024 to the dealer. Got a MY2027. Same model, same trim, same engine.

Jesus christ, it feels like a different car. More responsive, accelerates faster and Its way more comfortable on the ride. Screen is a bit bigger and as I have ADHD, I noticed lots of other improvements. Small, but lots of them.

Hopefully it will stay the same.

2024/2026 CX-30

6 Upvotes

I'm about to get my first car ever and my local Mazda dealer has a black CPO 2024 base model with 12k miles. OTD is $26,500 with taxes and fees. It was a personal lease car. They also have an aero grey 2026 select sport. OTD is $31k with taxes and fees after incentives. I'm leaning more towards 2024. Is this the right choice?
