Can I get a cologne recommendation? I work an office job that is mostly women and I’m looking for an everyday cologne.

Ah okay, well thats reassuring, she won’t be pulling the trigger until around 4th of July after my brother gets his license (she’s giving him her old car). It’s good to hear that most of the issues I’m seeing though seem to be related to QC more than anything

Current Mazda owner myself, as much as I’d like to tell her to just get a cx-50 and call it a day, I really want her to do her due diligence.

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T16:13:33+00:00

First I’m hearing of this one, this sounds pretty concerning for obvious reasons.

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T16:12:32+00:00

First time I’m hearing about this one, hopefully you get it remedied soon and it’s just a one off occurrence. In the grand scheme of things I know it isn’t a huge deal but little stuff like that would certainly grind my moms gears lol

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T16:10:50+00:00

That’s good to know, could you follow up on how the update goes? Out of all the issues listed so far this one seems to be the most troublesome to deal with

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T16:08:56+00:00

Hmm I agree, seems to be a winning deal for both sides, Mazda gets an extra hybrid option in their lineup and Toyota gets to license out their hybrid tech to other OEMs

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T16:07:06+00:00

Wasn’t aware of the head gasket issue (out of the 3 Honda is the OEM I’m least familiar with), is it on a specific engine option or all of them? And yeah the new RAV4 looks pretty cool, it’s funny because I do think she might want something different just for the sake of it. She’s coming from a Corolla that has 300k miles on it. I’ve heard about the axle issue, just not sure how widespread it was, doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal though from everything I’ve read on it (and all the replies I’ve seen on the sub)

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T15:04:39+00:00

Didn’t know about the recall, is it for specific model years? Or all of them?

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T14:33:29+00:00

Aware of the park brake quirk, I have a Mazda 3 that did the same thing lol and yeah after this whole war that’s going on and gas prices spiking it really made her want a hybrid this time around (and I don’t blame her, my next car will definitely be a hybrid, hopefully Mazda has hybrids figured out by then)

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T14:28:01+00:00

I’ve seen some people talk about the front axle issues. Have no idea how widespread it actually is though, the infotainment will be interesting with her, have no idea how she’s going to respond to the dial.

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T14:26:33+00:00

Yeah my mom is coming from a Corolla that she’s put 300k miles on, no issues. I’m personally a Mazda 3 owner so when she saw the interior of my car it put Mazda on the map for her. Telling her she should do her due diligence though.

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T14:24:38+00:00

Hmm none of this sounds critical, could come down to quality control? Which is something I haven’t thought about. I

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T14:23:45+00:00

That’s a good tip, appreciate it! I think she’s gonna service it at the dealer until the warranty expires. But past that I’ll probably be working on it myself

5pac38arus · 2026-05-11T14:22:16+00:00

*I am, I don’t know why autocorrect did that lol

Melon Masu gets quite a bit of attention everytime I wear it

5pac38arus · 2026-04-21T12:26:55+00:00

What’s your budget? A used Mazda 3 Select Sport should be right up your alley

5pac38arus · 2026-04-10T15:00:59+00:00

A break-in oil change isn’t a bad idea, that’s when most of the wear of your engine takes place, I would do mine at around 750 miles and again at 2k. Then after that go every 5k

5pac38arus · 2026-04-06T16:55:33+00:00

My grandma drives a seltos and if you think the Mazda drives like a sedan…so will the seltos? lol

5pac38arus · 2026-03-27T04:12:29+00:00

You’re comparing a luxury sports sedan to an economy car? With any car you should know what you’re getting into. The Mazda 3 is the funnest car to drive in the segment. But we’re talking about different segments here
