    Question about fuel type for 2020 GTR

    Considering how much extra kick I can feel already with 87, not sure if I’d notice the difference on 93. Our 2018 felt pretty anemic on some long onramps. This thing, not so much!

    2020 CX-5, way to disable "Engine Harmonics Enhancer" (Fake Engine Noise)?

    I found this blurb about this and I’m not entirely sure if sound is pumped into the audio as inferred. This makes it sound like the engine itself is getting tuned. I have no idea though. “Mazda claims that the CX-5 benefits from an all new “Engine Harmonics Enhancer” that supposedly “tunes the...

    Question about fuel type for 2020 GTR

    My wife and I are picking up our GTR tomorrow and I know that if using premium gas is supposed increase HP a bit and also torque. 1) is it worth it to even try premium? 2) does it also affect mileage?

    2020 CX-5, way to disable "Engine Harmonics Enhancer" (Fake Engine Noise)?

    My wife and I drove one yesterday and loved it. Way more zippy and responsive than our 2018. Had the audio off though so I’m assuming this “feature” would be mute?? We’re picking one of these up tomorrow so I’ll be quizzing my salesman about turning this off.

    Gracenote: Update or not?

    I've found several links, but none of them actually get to the proper file. I don't understand how Mazda hasn't fixed this on the site. Even the instructions tell you that the file should be named update.package and not whatever the large file name is that's showing up. Makes me wonder what...

    Gracenote: Update or not?

    I'm having the same problem as others and don't seem to get the proper file and unable to update. Is the download the same for the different models? I have a 2014 GT and that's what's I put in to get to the download.

    Brakes pulsing / vibrating when slowly braking, and interior rattle issues.

    I don't have the braking issue, but I have something rattling in the center of the dash. No idea what. Hopefully the brakes just need a rotor turned or something. As for the transmission, the Skyactiv system doesn't downshift very aggressively and this is to maximize mileage. There are certain...

    Seat Back - Power Seat

    Actually folks, this is a known issue at Mazda and they redesigned the switch to allegedly fix the issue. I know because they had a bulletin of some sort when I complained about it and they replaced mine. Problem is, it didn't fix the problem and I've notified the dealer and Mazda about it...

    New 2014 GT Nav Not Working

    I had this happen on mine and after talking with TomTom they told me to reload the nav software. Problem is, they don't provide a download location if it doesn't show up in their stupid desktop software. So after a couple posts in there forum I got hold of the software, put it on the root of the...

    Odd mechanical squeak in cabin when turning car off

    I have it as well and all it is are the auto door locks unlocking. I'm not sure they could be oiled or anything, but it certainly isn't anything to worry about.

    Nav Still Not Working - 2 days at dealer

    I had the exact same problem. Easy to solve I had the exact same problem a few months ago. Hitting the Nav button did nothing. The folks at TomTom suggested reinstalling the Nav software, but they couldn't provide a copy which was pretty stupid. Anyway, I posted on the TomTom forums for help...
