Scotty my coworker had his 2013 Mazda3 1.3l Skyactiv automatic transmission panel bottom rust out while driving around work. Limped in a few miles, local mechanic put a new bottom on. A month or so later the bottom of his oil pan also rusted out (mechanic warned him that would be next). Once again a few miles with no oil, and a ton of spilled when he filled it up in the parking lot only for it to come right out the hole. So far it has been about a month or so and he does 80 miles or so a day mostly highway. The car is still going strong.

+Scotty Kilmer think you can test a 2010+ Jaguar XJ, XJL, XF or XFR with an NA 5.0 V8 or supercharged 5.0L? I’ve heard these vehicles have turned them around as far as reliability and can be had decent for relatively cheap. They have ZF 6sp autos. These are GDI but I still see plenty of them around…

TOYOTA DEALER SCAM. I bought a 24 Camry. Getting closer to my 1st 5000 mile oil change. I asked if they used full synthetic that toyota requires . No we use synthetic blend Sorry synthetic blends can contain as little as 10% synthetic. However we will put in full synthetic for a $19 surcharge. I don't believe 16W blend exists. I understand why toyota is offering 2 "free 10k oil changes" eg to increase resale value of 3 yr lease vehicles. This is total crap 5k recommended oil change with 16W full synthetic Or FREE 10k 20W oil changes or pay $19 surcharge BTW $150 is their rate to do an oil change. Looks. Like the bean counters are taking over toyota And take a look at the tiny 2year battery they install. Last I checked a 5 qr jug of mobil 1 full synthetic 16W was under $30 at Walmart

Very few people actually “needs” all wheel drive. When I lived in Denver I learned that snow tires on a two wheel drive car did far better than an awd without. We first experienced this when my wife’s Subaru Forester spun in a circle three times while we tried to make u-turn which caused us to laugh our asses off because there wasn’t anything we could do except wait. If you “need” awd get a 4x4.

[@Breadts1cks]

Honestly I had all seasons on a 99 Cadillac in Montana and never had any problems. That was just FWD!

[@veronicalane1458]

I’m starting to Question whether Subaru is worth it. The mechanical aspects of the car need work. They’re Not that easy to work on! Many Unintuitive things that should Not be there. I’m Not impressed. And the AWD restricts tire sizes, and options. My tires are Always wearing unevenly.

[@cardo1111]

Well said. I live in the NY Metro burbs and completely agree with you. Here everyone thinks they need an AWD vehicle some years we get hardly any snow, some a little heavier snowfall. I have found a good set of stud-less dedicated winter or all weather tires will get you through nearly any snow conditions. The only issue is if it is a heavy snowfall and the roads were not plowed yet or the plow truck left some high spots on the road while turning etc. in a standard sedan ground clearance or lack thereof can be an issue.

[@paintup46]

Michigan here, and my 2wd sienna does EXCELLENT in snow.

[@jaspreetsidhu5708]

Yes you're right tires make a huge difference. But awd with winter tires will always beat a front wheel drive with winter tires. I do lots of snowboarding, rock climbing, cross country skiing, etc where the terrain isn't the most friendly and I've driven fwd with winter tires and had the car slip on me. But yea I really agree for sure most people actually don't even need suv's yet they still buy them.

Lead tech at mazda for 5 years over here, now currently working on everything from chevy to Saab to porsche. Get a mazda, they hold up very well compared to most other brands I work on. That being said...be careful with the turbo cx7s. I've done a lotttt of turbos, a lotttt of transfer cases (they leak), and just as many timing chains. If you're getting a cx7, get the 2.5l 2wd. They even have their own slogan, "zoom, zoom, boom." Rx-8 engines are also problematic. If you can find a nice 2013 to 2016 cx5, that's the ticket. The skyactiv engines of those years are great.

Excellent video Scotty as usual. Times are really changing fast. Ever heard of a ODBLink MX+, it’s around $140 and does everything the XTool does if you pair it with your windows laptop and Forscan (1-year license is $12, yes that’s 😱$12). Better yet this Bluetooth scan tool pairs with IOS, Windows and even Android. So I planning on upgrading to an Android T’Eyes CC3 2K head unit so I can display engine telemetry on demand. Other available options on the CC3 head unit aren’t even available on most 2023 model cars without a serious premium. The MX+ also works with Versatune tuning software for Ford/Mazda vehicles if you want to hop up your vehicle.

Same engine as the mazdaspeed 3. Beware the vvt cam gear failing and the timing chain stretching. You’ll hear the chain rattling on the valve cover on cold start up. They like to drink oil too so check level regularly. Also the turbo seals go out and you’ll get smokey exhaust.

Thank you for showing us what kind of camera you are using to film with for your channel because I'm thinking about getting a new camera. The camera I have now is a Sony it's a good camera but it's old technology and I get a lot of wind noise through mic it's got a Built-in mic, I can't put a external mic on it. OH! by the way please make sure that you clean the lens on your camera before filming LOL.

[@RaynMedia]

Very interesting to see this car. My Aunty had this exact car and they hated it, didn’t have the 4WD and it still guzzled gas, and the turbo was always going wrong on it. Sure the non turbo ones would be a lot better.

[@fiveanddimekl]

I still have a 2011 CX-7 2.3 turbo which I drive daily and it's been pretty much trouble free. Not a single rattle. Quality interior. Your aunt must have been unlucky to get a lemon.

[@ZoraPMC]

2015 mazda 3 s grand touring 2.5L, 160,000 miles, still drives like new. Only had to replace the alternator. The transmission and engine is still perfect. Suspension showing signs of wear but ride is still smooth. So I plan to replace shocks and struts soon.

[@Argedis]

Holy Crap!! My 2014 Mazda 3 iGT barely has 56k miles LOL. Partly because I've been working from home since the pandemic but even before that my commute to work was only 9 miles. You must drive a ton to get that mileage in just a few years. I already knew these cars were bulletproof so it doesn't surprise me yours is running strong. The Skyactiv NA engines and transmissions are solid.

[@ZoraPMC]

@@Argedis exactly, why I tell all my friends to NOT get a turbo mazda but either NA option is excellent. The 2.5L is plenty powerful enough for me and I expect to get the most out of this engine.

[@vaughano2]

I have a 2003 Mazda 6 Luxury Sports hatch with the Ford 4F27E 4-speed auto - it's still going strong at 250k (kms). Just don't thrash them, change the oil, and they last very well.

Hey Scotty, is there an easy way to know what transmission is in a Mazda? I want to buy a Mazda for my daughter, but don't want to get that Jatco transmission you keep saying to avoid. Also which year did Mazda stop using timing belts?

Mazda cars are made around the driver made for those who love to drive some say it's too small but if you are driving it you will understand. I put down 8k to drive my 2018 mazda3 off the lot brand new and the Skyactive technology works great to this day with 100k miles I put on it in Los Angeles. Not many people drive as much as I do but I tell you the car has already payed itself off and is still running fine. Worth everything Penny

I have a question if you can help me: I have a 2013 Mazda 3 that I bought a year ago with 113000 km on it. 2 weeks ago I took it to the carwash and as I left right at the exit it started making a loud noise that was coming from under the hood or maybe the passenger side wheel. The noise appears in the morning when I start the car and move (there is no noise if the car is stationary) and it disappears after less than a minute of driving. it is like a loud but not consistent squeaky noise that is very disturbing. but it just goes away quickly and it won't happen if the engine is warm apparently.

I know someone who had an 07 cx7 the biggest well one of them especially with the turbo cx7 if anyone decides to buy one make sure to change the ac compressor if it hasn't been changed already I'm not sure how common the problem was on the 08 and 09 models but the 07 models definitely had problems with the ac compressor locking up so just something to keep in mind when considering one of these cars
