Hey folks, I am looking to replace my worn out Michelin Defender T+H on my 2018 Mazda3 sedan, they got so noisy over time, and its time to replace them. I was looking at the Yokohama Avid Ascend LX, the Toyo Extensa AS II or the Khumo Solus TA51a. I can't seem to find any Khumo Escta LX...

I'm looking for a 2024 Honda Civic with the CVT. Are those durable with regular maintenance? like a conventional automatic? I'm sure this has been debated on here many times, but I'm very hesitant. Thanks for the inputs.

Good day, I recently had my 2018 Mazda3 GS automatic transmission replaced, the idiots at the dealership replaced the original one due to a 3rd and 5th gear malfunction (there was an actual bulletin made by Mazda for this) and they overfilled the new transmission with the wrong fluid and added...

I am shopping for a civic, and found this 2022 Touring Civic sedan with only 15 000 km, price is decent. Now, should I worry about the 1.5 turbo? Seems like this engine is being bashed for the oil dilution problem from years back. Anyone have a 1.5 turbo with high mileage? I also heard it has...

I had the transmission on my 2018 Mazda3 changed around six months ago. Was running perfectly fine till recently. Seems to be upshifting right, but downshift or passing a car, the engine seems to choke and slams into a hard downshift, seems to be 3rd and 5th gear (I have the automatic). This...

Good day folks, After a few recent post about one Mazda dealership refusing to change my AFT fluid at 100 000 km (my car is now 130 000 km) and getting my transmission overfilled by another Mazda dealership after ATF change, now Mazda Canada concluded that I need a brand new transmission coming...

Good day folks, I recently posted about by Mazda 3 transmission shifting not as smooth as it used too, so I did bring my car at the dealership and found no codes when they plugged the computer on. I asked for a drain and refill, and they did. The problem, my car had a hard down shift from 2nd...

Good day folks, Today I pulled out one spark plug on my 2.0 Skyactiv engine to see in which condition the plugs were by curiosity. These plugs have around 25 000 km on them only, but to my surprise I noticed this very dark brown discoloration at the bottom part of the white core. The actual...

Good day folks, Today I was texting a sales rep at a Honda dealership here in New Brunswick Canada for a pricing on a 2022 Honda Civic Sport sedan. The interest rate announced by Honda Canada was 4.67% for Civics, but that sales rep at this specific dealership charged me everything at 6% ...

Good day, Following my previous post, I went to the Mazda dealer for the occasional hard downshift/upshift, and they absolutely refuse to change the transmission fluid, I have an automatic. They claim its lifetime and thats the end of it, no drain and fill, no flush, nothing. They claim if they...

Good day, My transmission is a 6 speed skyactiv auto, and it seems to shift a bit rough in the 3rd gear or when downshift to third gear. Sometimes when cold, seems to hesitate shifting in 2nd, kinda jumping gears. Called the dealership to change the fluid, I have 125 000 km, so a bit over 60...

I was questioning the OCI for the 6 speed AT on my 2018 Mazda 3. Manual says lifetime, and I have doubts about that. Dealership told me its lifetime as well. There is also a customer servicing his 2012 mazda 3 AT skyactive with 990 000 km and apparently never changed the transmission fluid and...

Hey folks, I own a 2018 mazda 3, bought brand new. It has now 85 000 km on it, first 40 000 km was on dealeship bulk 0w20 Petro Canada oil. After that, I ran Castrol Edge black bottle 0w20 for another 45 000 km. The OCI here in Canada recommended by Mazda is 8 000 km (I know, very short)...
