To update this thread, the smell lasted just over a week (400 miles) and was only present when the electronic hand break and auto hold were engaged. Guessing it was around a dozen cycles of these before it cleared. Thanks for the feedback above.

Thanks for the feedback.

I've been using Cruise Control for a couple of weeks and noticed that the Cruise Control Set Speed differs from the Speedometer by 1 mph on the HUD display? Worked out this happens at speeds above 50mph. If you set around 42mph the speedometer speed flits between 42 and 43! Once above 50 mph the 2 s...

On a cold morning at 5am I often have the auto-headlights warning sign come on. It's condensation on the sensor. I tend to leave the windscreen demist on for at least 10 minutes, but sometimes still need to stop and restart the car for it to clear. Thanks HouseSpider for the top tip .... I'll know ...

Picked up the new car just over a week ago and done a variety of journeys. Here are the initial good, bad and ugly ..... Lots and lots of good.

However, phoned by the dealer the next week and informed about the July delay due to EU testing of new model so then looking at early September delivery (extra wait worth it for the new upgrades, de...

Thank you for the warm welcome and responses.

I am not saying I want one, just ...

Hi Everyone! I thought I should join as I've been reading a few threads with interest and have around 3 weeks before my Sports Nav+ arrives. My first CX3, my first Mazda. While doing my research on the upgrades for the new model (2018 plus or 2019?) I came across an Australian video. In the video it...
