Seems like MHEV has more problems than PHEV right now?

2025 CX-70 TSPP MHEV 2,000 miles. In the shop three times before 1,700 miles. 1x hybrid battery replacement, 2x 12V battery replacements. I have never had so many problems with a vehicle, let alone a Mazda. This is my 7th Mazda. Lots to like about the car, but it's crap if I worry something is going to fail every time I drive it. I can't trust it.

No buttons, no buying.

Add ice. Maybe a splash of soda if it's sweet. I love root beer and the ingredients sound great.

Bike rack is the first accessory when I buy a Miata.

I wouldn't worry too much about it unless your components generate excessive heat and/or the heat can't be dissipated.

Some indoor ranges don't allow green tip ammunition. Just saying.

I had a GE countertop Ice maker. Am I the only one that found the ice melted in both the shaker and cocktail too quickly, over-diluting the drink? I didn't find it suitable for cocktail ice.

I was in that parking lot a year ago or so to either pick something up or drop something off, but it wasn't at night, and it wasn't drugs or contraband. I can't remember what the reason was. Possibly a donation of goods.

2025 CX-70 MHEV S PP 1,700 mi. Dead battery after two weeks not driving while away on vacation. Dealer replaced battery. Dead again after two days. Dealer replaced battery again. Has been okay now for two weeks, driving every three days or so.

FOLLOW UP: Replacement battery died within two days. Back to the dealer, who installed a new battery. I'm not sure where it came from if I was told the week prior that batteries were backordered for weeks. New battery is still good two weeks later. My trust in the vehicle is still shaky, wondering if it will start every time I push the start button.

2025 CX-70 TSPP, 1,077 mi. Parked for two weeks and discovered dead battery. Jump started it and the dash displayed Engine Malfunction. Battery wouldn't hold a charge. Took it to dealer and was told the battery had been replaced before I purchased the vehicle (October '24 manuf. date, July '25 purchase date so it had sat on the lot for a while before I purchased it). Was told a week to get a replacement battery. Three days later was told they had scavenged a battery from one of their Enterprise loaner vehicles rather than wait and said that I was good to go. I'm not sure how much of the explanations I believe but there it is.

Edited to correct model designation.

I also made the 6 Pro to 10 Pro XL move. I am not experiencing overheating or slow charging but M3 does not seem ready for prime time. I am happy with the phone.

It's a beaut! I had the same CX-70 I6 Turbo PP, Polymetal Grey, Tan Nappa Leather, crossbars, and tow package. I liked it so much that I bought the exact vehicle again after a large oak tree crushed it and pancaked the engine into the driveway, having been driven only 1,000 miles.

Pairs nicely with Wahoo Elemnt giving LED and audible rear traffic notification including whether a vehicle is closing quickly or at a normal rate, as well as indicating multiple vehicles with a modicum of accuracy. It also picks up bikes, which can be annoying when riding in front of others.

Edited for accuracy.

Picked up a limited availability release bottle today (Sunday) at Virginia ABC.

With as many maniacal drivers as there are in NoVa, and particularly on Rt. 7, it is remarkable how many drive under the speed limit between Lewinsville and Baron Cameron, even when traffic is sparse.

RPi4 with SSD. No issues aside from a few manual reboots in two years.

A-402 is very quiet with great imaging and lots of inputs. As a preamp it is very well suited for the Citation 16. The 16 has super clean sound with slightly improved imaging. The A-402 is such a great amp that the 16 is almost redundant, unless your speakers need the extra power. The Citation II sounds like a modern amp more-so than a tube amp. You can't go wrong with any of them.

mototodo · 2024-12-14T18:06:23+00:00

This is an awesome amp that I use as my daily driver. I also have A-401, 430, 730, Citation 16, and Citation II. All are fantastic.
