From Acura MDX to Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus

My son is a new driver... The family Acura MDX has carried us safely on many adventures for well over 180,000 miles and now it is his safe passage for the future. The “trade-off” is that I have to take on a car payment once again, however, the CX-90 PHEV Prem Plus has not disappointed and has proven to be worth its price tag! We have already taken it on a trip over 500 miles, through rain and snow with no issues aside from the bumper sensors being temporarily blinded by road spray and dirt. The electric ride is smooth, and the sport mode is useful to get around slow moving vehicles on single lane, country roads (of course in safe passing zones). I look forward to driving it for years to come, but am admittedly nervous at the level of technology built into the first year vehicle that could pose long-term concerns - time will tell.

I sold my previous Lincoln Corsair GT due to the recall on the engine fires. Decided too long to wait for a solution. Started looking and placed an order for the 2023 Cadillac XT4 Sport but 2 months later the dealer had not even placed the order with the factory because of allocations. Terrible experience. Turned to Mazda after finding the CX-90 PHEV in Artisan Red with white interior. Stunning interior and love the incredible red paint which changes colors based on light and curves in the design. Love it. The ride is incredible and super quiet due to the double pane glass. The gas mileage includes 28 miles of EV miles and that covers most daily trips for me. So, I'm getting eMPG of 76 which is incredible. I fill up maybe three times a year. The car has been superb since we moved and were able to load up a lot by lowering all the seats. Better than a pickup truck in my opinion. I have really been impressed with the Mazda sales process since the sales reps are not paid commission but straight salary. They get bonuses though but they are not desperate like some car sales reps are. They are more like Tesla in their behavior. The sales process was great and I had no bickering and got the car I wanted the day I picked it out. Was incredibly smooth and stress free. After getting the car, I researched Mazda's history and focus on engineering. Mazda uses a much thicker steel when creating the car and their paint process is well known as unique in the industry due to the levels of paint they do. I am really impressed with their plug in hybrid technology which I believe is helped by their Toyota relationship (Toyota owns 10% of Mazda and Mazda uses Toyota Finance). I'm quite impressed with Toyota since they lead the world in hybrid technology and was glad to find out of their relationship to Toyota. Update 6 months later. Superb car. No complaints and only praises.

I have owned several Mazda vehicles: CX7, CX9, 626 and now the CX-90. By far the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Purchased the first vehicle and not even 30 days in the car would stall and not start. Took the vehicle in to dealer and when I picked it up it staled again and I told them I wanted a new vehicle. The vehicle was changed out and now I have a Mazda that has had 7 recalls in 6 months not to mention the fact that the vehicle stalls when I accelerate and need speed to turn or get our of harms way. The vehicle also stall and speed drops from 60 to 40 instantly and takes about a minute or two to pick up speed again. The worst part of the vehicle is when I turn right or left or go up onto my driveway the loud sounds it makes something like old springs on a bad mattress. The car has been in the shop and Mazda cannot figure out what is wrong with it. This is my third attempt to repair and nothing. I have been in contact with my dealer Sports Mazda South in Longwood as well as Mazda Corporate and noting has been done. I purchase a new vehicle so that I would not have the problems that come with a used vehicle only to be in a worse predicament. As a former true believer in the Mazda brand I will no longer purchase a Mazda because they do not stand behind their product!!

My first year model Mazda CX-90 was a dud!

My 2024 Mazda CX-90 Turbo Preferred was back to the dealers over 20 times in only 3200 miles! It had issues for the major recalls including loss of power steering while we were on a trip. I had to deal with this steering for over 425 miles until we returned home. It had --2-- new 12V starter batteries replaced (a 3rd new battery was installed) until Mazda finally figured out all of the batteries had been undercharging due to buggy software. That issue included a dead battery (#2) only 2 weeks after it was installed and right in my driveway one morning. The low battery (and loud) alerts continued to show up far too many times even after that issue was finally resolved. Other issues were defective rear radar sensors and what seemed like an odd AWD sensation where it just would not seem to hold the grade of road smoothly without a lot of minor steering wheel correction left and right. This was more pronounced at highway speeds. (the gas only AWD I have now tracks perfectly on all road grades, unlike my CX-90 did). The list goes on. Well, at 3500 miles on the ODO I finally had enough and I traded it in for a gasoline only vehicle (not a Mazda!). This experience made me a Hybrid hater, at least for the time being. Mazda's reputation for excellence won't be affiliated with this new first-year model. My CX-90 was one of the first off the assembly line (manufactured late 2023) and thus, had the full gamut of issues due to Mazda design failures, faulty vendor components and many software issues/bugs. The dealer was great to assist, but, as I told them, they were held responsible trying to fix my lemon told to me through Mazda and I had a whooper of a buggy CX-90 right from the start of ownership. When I informed the dealership I'd traded it in elsewhere, they seemed relieved and also a number of their employees said they fully understood why I did that.

Unfortunately with less than 10,000 miles on my CX-90 that I love DEARLY, I just had to file lemon law because my engine + hybrid system + i-stop feature are all malfunctioning. Save yourself this heartbreak and just don’t do it!
