2024 MazdaCX-90 PHEV Preferred For Sale

Pros: 1) Fastastic handling (considering vehicle size) and smooth brisk acceleration from the big in-line six. 2) Styling - great looking vehicle. 3) Interior craftmanship is top notch - no rattles at 4,000 miles. 4) Towing capacity. Cons: 1) Four trips to dealership so far in 4,000 miles - none for regular maintenance. Two recalls and three voluntary "Special Service Program" fixes for our Turbo S Premium model. Towed in once after vehicle went into a safe mode where it wouldn't go faster than 10 MPH and threw five or six different error messages. 2) driver recognition system only works intermittently - when it fails, default is inexplicably to "Guest" versus "Driver 1," causing you to lose all your settings. You also have to give it 10-15 seconds to work (this is a really long time when you want to get somewhere expeditiously). 3) I am 5' 10" and I hit my head on the rear gate at max height if I don't duck down. I've never had this problem with any SUV before. 4) walk away lock only works intermittently, rendering the feature useless. Must press the button on the key fob for certainty. 5) very minimal storage for driver - a shallow center console and the door - that's it. 6) parking sensors seem to work intermittently, rendering the system untrustworthy - system doesn't reliably sense low items (e.g., old 10" curbs) or narrow items (e.g., poles) like our other vehicles do. 7) "i-stop" shuts down the engine at stop lights, etc. - reengagement is very noticable and unrefined to the point of comment from passengers. The i-stop cannot be permanently turned off - resets every time the car is started. 8) Premier towing package brake controller is mounted above your left knee - with predictable adverse consequences. 9) switch for hazzards is directly in front of the touch screen where your palm wants to rest as you engage the screen - we've inadvertently turned on the flashers several times as a result. 10) finally, after a remote start, the vehicle turns off when you open the door (for safety reasons apparently). This is our third vehicle with remote start, and the first with this nonsensical "safety feature" - yes, you really must restart the car a second time every time you use remote start. The list is longer, but you get the idea. Great car to actually drive - a shame the details are a not very well executed.

I'm sorry to read that any CX-90 owner has experienced any problems. I have owned my CX-90 PHEV GT trim for 6 months and honestly the car seems fantastic to me. It is possible that a vehicle on the production line has a problem, but that is what the warranty is for. Mazda is a Japanese manufacturer with an impeccable track record of engineering and responsibility when it comes to meeting its warranty commitments. For me, absolutely everything about this car is proportionate, balanced and simply perfect for me. I advise you not to hesitate to try it and buy one, if you don't like it, simply return it to Mazda and ask for a refund of the money invested. Mazda provides a FULL 3 YEAR WARRANTY

So many recalls. So much “technology” that doesn’t work majority of the time. Sensor alert goes off randomly when no other cars are even on the road. I have completed every survey since I have purchased the vehicle and mentioned all of my concerns and requested to be notified I have not received any calls. Some additional issues are drivers side passenger door stick so bad you think the door is still locked, Car does not lock once you exit like it is suppose to. Windshield wiper gets stuck off windshield. Car play works about 60% of the time the rest you have to uninstall and try again. The list goes on. Very disappointed this will be the last impression Mazda will leave. Reached out to the dealership I’ve been working with since 2006 and was basically told oh well less than a week after purchasing.
