I agree, I think most of the problems with the CX-60 to 90 range have been fixed. The only thing that still worries me is the 8-speed gearbox; it's reliable and has excellent engineering, but what owners see as a defect, Mazda says is normal (see TSB), and I have to agree with them.

Re: There was a previous owner of my Mazda, but they sold it after only a year.

That fast sale, though.

We essentially came up with this method, and I've been doing it for a while, as have many other senior forum members.
The truth hurts, and I fear it will hurt some of my American friends.

Some people sell their brand-new cars very quickly.
