Skyactice petrol big miles

Just wondering. Who has got the highest mileage on their skyactice G petrol engine? Now that would be interesting!

have there been any significant engine/gear box issue. These modern motors are super scary with all the technology on them and the electro mechanical engine/gear box controls. It would be interesting to see if anyone has bigger mileage with no issues. Personally I think Mazda solution sounds better than the small turbo route that most manufacturers have followed.

I just had mine through the 40,000 km service (which would be 24,000 miles service I think).
Nothing so far with the engine or transmission, but I've had a few minor things fixed on guarantee (not engine or transmission related).

I tend to agree that the big naturally aspirated engine which is derated for the CX-3 should plod on for donkeys years providing it gets routine oil changes.

Just about to hit 18k, so well short of Santa

mind you the CX-3 is in desperate need of a clean, the roads and hence the CX-3 are skanky (if that is how you spell it, mind you I guess the guys in the U.K. Will get my drift)

Wow 45 mpg!!!!!! Is that mixed type driving? Do u nurse it? I used to have a MG ZT diesel automatic n only got 31 mpg. Lol the auto did that much slipping and it took so long to get up to temperature.

Wait i just saw your mpg link. That is impressive but boy u do a lot of driving. No warm up period helps big style IMO.and u live in Denmark where there's no hills

It's mixed city and country roads with the highway every now and then.
I accelerate quite quickly up to the speedlimit, then I engage the cruise control and just cruise along on the speed limit.
The adaptive cruise control helps alot and make it much less stressful when driving, as I'm not bothered with tailgaters trying to push me to drive faster than the speedlimit.
City driving is what kills the mpg in the CX-3, then again it was also city driving that really knocked the mpg down in my old Fiat Bravo 1,4 turbo.
Yeah, I drive about 3,000 km a month and though we don't have big hills, we do have a lot of hills
