My son just got a base 2023 CX-30 S and found that the roof console panel does not have a sunglasses 'pocket'. Has anyone replaced the molding with one that includes this? Not sure if that only came with a sunroof-equipped model.

I've been a loyal Mazda owner for decades, having owned an MX-6, Mazda6, 2016 CX-5, 2020 CX-30, and now a 2025 CX-5. I've always appreciated Mazda's reliability, driving dynamics, and attention to detail.​ I purchased my first CX-5 in late 2015 (a 2016 model), when you rarely saw another CX-5 on the road. Fast-forward 10 years, and they're everywhere. That's a testament to how well Mazda has developed the vehicle and built its reputation. My original CX-5 served me extremely well for... Read more

Car: 2022 Mazda CX-30, 2.5 Skyactiv-G, automatic. Hot, humid climate. The story: - About two weeks ago, one morning, a strong smell suddenly started coming out of the vents. It smells like glue or fresh silicone. It was not there before, and it came on all at once, not slowly. - It happens every time the car has been parked for a while, even 1.5 hours at night. The first minute is really bad. On fresh air it goes away fast; on recirculation it takes about 5 minutes. - It also smells... Read more

I had a cracked cylinder head on my 2018 CX 5. I have become aware of a potential class action. If you also had a cracked cylinder head here is a link to the attorney website.

I have a 2021 CX-30 and noticed that when the sun hits the upper door panel (black), vertical ripples or bumps can be seen. I checked and all four doors have this. Has anyone else experienced this? Seems like a fairly significant quality control issue.

For 26k I can get a 2024 CX-30 AWD at 40k miles 65k kilometres with the European 2.5NA 191hp engine or 2023 EQA300 4MATIC but at 60k miles/100k km. The EQA is expected to be more quiet/stable on the highway at 75mph but is it really better. The badge says it should be but if Mazda is outperforming expectations and Mercedes is underperforming can they meet in the middle in noise/stability on the highway. The car will be driven 90% on the highway and will stay in the garage 2-3 weeks at a... Read more

Rear Brake Replacement at 92,852 Miles Two days ago, I started noticing some noise whenever I applied the brakes. After checking things out, I was able to narrow it down to the passenger-side rear brakes. I went ahead and replaced both the rotor and brake pads. At 92,852 miles, this is what the old setup looked like! I typically run EBC products, but this time around, I decided to keep it simple and went with Duralast Gold Ceramic Brake Pads from AutoZone. One of the selling points was... Read more

Forgive me if this is a stupid question. But is the 2023 CX-30, with the updated egr system, able to be tuned? I was told a few months ago that it is not yet.

Having no A/C in Houston is no joke! Took my 2023 Mazda CX-30 with 90K+ miles to the dealership after the A/C compressor failed. Luckily, I had an extended warranty, so instead of being hit with a $2,700 repair bill, I only had to pay my $100 deductible. Definitely one of those times when having an extended warranty paid off! Forgot to mention — I was also able to get a replacement key fob while I was there. Now I can enjoy some cold A/C again!

This is the first video in a technical series I'm putting together on the Skyactiv Drive transmissions. The transmission in the video is from a FWD CX-9 and is the one used in all the factory turbo cars and 2.2 diesels. Mazda calls it a GW6A-EL and the CX-5, 9 and Mazda 6 Turbo use this specific version. The Turbo 3, CX-30 and CX-50 use a slightly different version that has a case shape in the rear to allow it to fit in the smaller chassis. The important parts are all the same. This video is...
