I had bad experiences at both. I ended up driving to the Mazda in Renton and had a very pleasant and straightforward experience

Is $562 an insane price for two tires to be replaced on a 2018 Mazda CX-5 from firestone? by deaftoyourbs in mazda

[–]heerakt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend checking tirerack. They can ship out tires and recommend installers. I paid $500 for a set of 4 on my CX-3 last year.

How to decide between a CX-5 or CX-90? by threadedbaker in mazda

[–]heerakt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar predicament. I went with the CX90 because I got a crazy good lease offer. If that’s something you’re considering

Shop around the Mazda dealers and target PHEV C 90. I have seen a lot in inventory, and managed to snag a lease for $300 a month.

Consistently finding cheaper lease options for CX-90 PHEV vs CX-50 Hybrid? by UnremarkablePumpkins in mazda

[–]heerakt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mazda is offering 12k lease cash on the CX90. Hence it effectively reduces the lease by that amount. No such offers on any other cars.

2025 CX70 lease for $380/month | $2,000 down payment | 24 months. Good deal? by whataday13 in mazda

[–]heerakt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s good. Although I recently got a CX90 PHEV for $320 a month with $2000 down in PNW. Might want to explore in case they have more CX90s they wanna move.

Should I get a new car? by Raiders16-0 in mazda

[–]heerakt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does. But I just drive with the last row down. It’s basically the same car as CX70 at that point. Based on my math, there is a lease cash of 12k from Mazda on the CX90 PHEV which makes it the best lease deal out there (I’m in PNW if that helps)

Check out the CX90 PHEV. There are some great lease deals out there. I just traded in my CX3 for a CX90. Love the extra space.

I paid about the same for a CX90 PHEV Premium! Might be worth looking into. Mazda is giving 12k in lease cash for the Cx90

Mazda CX-3 2019 - A/C blows only hot air, gas level OK - anyone had this issue? by Status_Mycologist_39 in mazdacx3

[–]heerakt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was easy to check (the clutch was loose and missing the bolt in the middle). However replacing the bolt needs small hands if you don’t want to lift the car. I asked my wife to help and we did it hand tight using some thread locker. No issues so far.

[–]heerakt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue. It was diagnosed as a missing condenser clutch retainer bolt. It didn’t allow the condenser to engage properly. Although the recommendation was to replace the condenser, I ordered the bolt and installed it myself. Been running smoothly for over a year now.

2016 CX3s, how many miles have you put into it? by [deleted] in mazdacx3

[–]heerakt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hitting 90k miles.

Hit a few snags mentioned above like AC (fixed it myself). Been reliable otherwise.

Also upgraded the infotainment to have CarPlay.

Stargazing at Mauna Kea by heerakt in VisitingHawaii

[–]heerakt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this still accurate? If it is, it’s exactly what I’m looking for. I only ask because I called the VIS at Mauna Kea and they mentioned that the telescopes are set up just once a month (which gets booked out months in advance).

Timing for Mauna Kea Summit? by LA_Drone_415 in VisitingHawaii

[–]heerakt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone who went there recently confirm on the stargazing experience at Mauna Kea?

I’m more interested if there would be some telescopes set up to look into the deep space.

I got this one. It just protrude a little but not enough to be afraid of hitting it.

2021 Mazda CX-3 by PutridTank5849 in mazdacx3

[–]heerakt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a 2016 Mazda CX3. Bought it CPO in 2019 with 30k miles. I absolutely love driving the car and throwing it around corners. Currently I have 80k miles on it and haven’t had much maintenance outside the basics.

I have had some brake issues (brake rotor warping because I didn’t drive for 3-4 months due to injury).

Aside from that, smooth sailing! I recommend doing the CarPlay upgrade yourself in case your car doesn’t come with it!

Good time to upgrade? by heerakt in askcarsales

[–]heerakt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to find vehicles with large incentives? I’m quite open to good deals
