It wasnt an issue with the NA? - Mazda makes tweaks to many things every new model year and like many other mfgrs - arent required to publicize it --software tweaks etc -Thanks. So, unless they redesign the head for the NA 2.5, maybe the best bet is the 2.5T since Mazda addressed the issue.
No. This is just not correct.Thanks. So, unless they redesign the head for the NA 2.5, maybe the best bet is the 2.5T since Mazda addressed the issue.
Maybe so except some owners (since 2018 when CD was added) are having their NA heads crack after only 30K miles!No. This is just not correct.
I can't speak for the 2.5T, other than that adding a turbocharger to any engine will generally decrease reliability somewhat.
The NA Skyactiv's are amongst the most durable, reliable and longest lasting engines ever designed.
Because of the potential head crack since our powertrain warrantee is over. Otherwise, would not be considering it since our 2018 has only 36K miles and has been a great SUV!Just curious if you're trying to bail out of your 2018 before a possible cracked head, or if it's just approaching the amount of elapsed time that you normally purchase a new vehicle anyway?
Agreed.⋯

I can’t agree with this statement if you include the 2.5L NA with cylinder deactivation.The NA Skyactiv's are amongst the most durable, reliable and longest lasting engines ever designed.
