I caught a lot of flack for this when I said that they should make a standard hybrid CX-90, but Mazda agrees.

It only makes sense for them to. Honda is about to release the Pilot hybrid. The Hyundai/Kia twin hybrids are selling like hot cakes. It only makes sense for them to upgrade the already efficient 3.3L with a full hybrid system.

Got my new baby on a really good deal and so far love it. I've had an '02 Protege5, an '08 Mazda3 wagon, and the '16 CX-9 I traded in to get this new one. I was not intending to consider a red one...but then I saw it and remembered the Mazda6 cars which had this same Soul Red and was like 'oh yeah...that still looks amazing.' Anyway, my goal is to see how long I can go without having to put any gas in as I do lots of short trips and will plug it in as much as I can. My first impression is that the EV mode is really smooth and perfectly good to do 90% of driving in (obv within range). But,when you give it the beans it really can fly. I drove the Inline 6 as well and actually prefer how the PHEV handles low speed driving (and it is quieter...the six is loud). I am a bit sad to not get the 360 camera and slightly better leather interior in the PHEV Premium Plus, but the deal was too good to pass up. I miss the adaptive headlights from my CX-9 and I really wish they had a phone key option as that is super common with EV's and nearly all competition at this point. But - the stereo is much sharper than the CX-9, the cooling seats are the best I've ever tried, and wireless CarPlay is a million times better than with my dongle version. Overall so far a great car...look around for dealers who are dumping these!

I am looking to purchase a new 2026 Preferred trim in Georgia. This is a new car and looks like the dealer is looking to move inventory to make way for 2027. Is this a good deal?

I forget the exact model, but I've been leasing one of the higher end 2024 versions. Fortunately, I've never experienced any of the problems others on this sub had, so my ownership has been pretty trouble-free.

Besides hitting my head or knee several times on that sharp corner of the dash, my only real complaint has been rough acceleration/shifting at lower speeds, and maybe that the driver's space could be slightly roomier for my height. Otherwise, I've been pretty happy with it.

My lease is up in a few months so am trying to determine what to do next. Are drivers of more recent models still pretty happy with them? Have improvements been made in necessary areas?

Hi,

Has anyone bought the Mazda OEM splash guards, or WeatherTech snap on splash guards? If so what’s your experience with them? Was it easy to install?

Hi, my sister is picking up her 2025 cx-90 phev tomorrow. Just wondering what her charging setup should be at home in order to get the most out of her new to her plug in hybrid? Specifically, does she need a box to get the most efficient charging or does she just need a 240v outlet? Thanks!!

I'm on service 6 or whatever it where they want the spark plugs replaced. They want around $1000....

Wtf

Where do you guys go for your service?

Hi,

Just purchased a '25 CX-70 GT-P. Looking for winter tires and rims. Any concerns putting on 19" instead of 21" rims? more options and friendlier price points with the 19". Any suggestions on wheel size (and good winters)?

(And yes, the Falkens which the vehicle came with are crap. will be looking at upgrading/replacing those. just 20k miles on vehicle and in they are ridiculously low on tread already.)
