@kezo and @kyle Since you have driven the CX-60, how is the suspension? I have been frequenting the Mazda forums and the horror stories are crazy, and I get that people really tend to discuss issues more so than just praising a vehicle but the amount of issues being reported on earlier production cars and a few more recent, I am a little cautious about ordering. I was told by Brayley I could have a Takumi from stock in 4 weeks, but I would rather have a factory order so I know if anything else has been upgraded/fixed/altered that I would hopefully get a revised version, plus I want to see what happens with prices in October. Humanity is only humanity when all are treated the same regardless of their skin tone, religious beliefs and geography!
I believe alot have been sorted before it gets to the dealer. I’m sure I read most of this work is done in the UK somewhere, it may even having been a holding centre, which may even be at the port. On the CX-70/60 forum there are alot of the complaints from early cars which have either been put right or are done as a customer complaint – door soundproofing, suspension shocks and somer miner ones changed… without any hassle. There are then comments that Mazda wants you to find faults so they can rectify them! There’s a member if I remember rightcalled Ash8 who regulary puts up any recall numbers, whether that be a recall or customer complaint, so you can visit the dealer and say you have x problem. The one I had an extended drive in seemed to have everything sorted, plus I didn’t notice any jerkiness in gearchanges the earlies cars did so guess an OTA update has been done. Oh and its quick for a heavy lump, in sport MODE I got 5.3 sec 0-62!
Oh yeah, Ash8 posts a lot of TSB’s and other helpful information, seems like he has some insider knowledge or something, plus he gets highly defensive when others bad mouth Mazda.
I have read on that forum that the vast majority of issues are fixed in newer production models, but some people just don’t seem to be satisfied with the newer models, for whatever reason. I mean I just read a thread the other day about people finding rattling sounds from the boot, caused by 4 or 5 different things.
