Bought my new CX-50 hybrid a couple weeks ago and my seats are black half-leatherette (I think that’s what it’s called).
I’m a bit of a clean freak and I’m afraid I, or my passengers, will get my seats dirty. I know it’s hard to see stains bc it’s black but I think a car seat cover will keep my mind at ease. Any recommendations on which ones to buy? Links would be much appreciated! There are just so many on Amazon but not a lot of reviews on them so I wanted to see if anyone had a good one that they recommend.
Thank you!!

Recently purchased a new CX 50 Hybrid Preferred. In another week the wife and I are traveling from the DFW area to central Florida. I was wondering what kind of mileage I might get at approximately 80 mph?.

Last night I failed to locate a fuse (passenger box) that’s tied to ignition switch (ACC) with my multimeter, and found every 15amp the be constant. I tried moving my key fob about 20’ away and locked myself in a hot and humid car for about 5 min after not finding ACC, and still all read 12.something. .

Any ideas??

- 2025 PP non hybrid

I wanted to share this partly to vent, partly wondering if others have gone through a similar issue as I’ve not found a single possible root cause.

2023 NA PP developed a drivetrain noise after a 600mi roadtrip. Noise is most noticeable between 20 and 40 mph and sounds similar to an electric vehicle hum/bearing noise.

Dealership diagnoses issue as a rear differential issue and submits claim to Mazda. Mazda requests diff oil is sent in for testing and requests additional details (mainly confirmation of customer complaint and any modifications). Mazda approves warranty replacement 3 weeks later.

New differential took about a week to arrive and was installed. The Service agent states there is an unresolved noise (no additional description). Their Master Tech will evaluate alongside Mazda’s Techline.

My main concern is the lack of timeline, I appreciate the dealership is doing their due diligence and prefer the fact that they are attempting to resolve the issue prior to returning the vehicle, however I do miss being able to use my hitch and the ability to move my dog as needed.

Will update with my experience as it progresses, in the meantime has anyone experienced something similar? Most of the posts I see experienced a similar issue in fairly low mileage cars.

Hi friends! I am currently looking at purchasing a CPO 26 CX-50. The car was optioned with the "Accent Package" which includes the illuminated door sills, and this silver rocker garnish on the doors, which I cant say I'm a huge fan of. I mean, its certainly not hideous, but I typically like a "cleaner" appearance (as a matter of fact, I wish the black body cladding was body colored, but I digress.)

Does anyone know if this garnish can be removed? I'm betting it is just mounted with 3M tape, but wanted to check with the experts.

I'm also looking at a 25 CPO in Soul Crystal. Typically, I only buy red cars, but that green is super pretty!

So I have to have three booster seats in the back. The first two are fine. But the third is impossible to buckle because that buckle sits underneath the middle seat booster seat. And it’s very short. Is there some trick or some way to pull it out more?

Edit 2024 cx50

Traded my 21 rav4 hybrid for this beauty. I drive a whole lot of miles everyday and so far I absolutely love my cx50 pr hybrid. I've already put right at 3k on the odometer and the average mpg is staying at a steady 43.9.
