I noticed a CX 5 TSB of corrosion under the hatchback near the lock,mine has the same problem,no larger than a 2 pence piece,awaiting Mazda acceptence of claim.

Thanks again

Excellent news. Great to hear you got both the condenser and control unit changed in the same visit. Looks like Mazda's attitude has changed recently. Be interesting to hear what they say about that corrosion.

Hi,
Just had a call from the dealer,4 wheels to be replaced under warranty.What tyres would you recommend?

I also found the rear spoiler to be loose,agreed that they would repair with new packers.

The corrosion in the rear hatch will be resprayed at a Mazda approved dealer.

Happy with this level of service from Mazda.

The Toyo ones fitted to the later cars are a good choice.

I have Toyo on my late 2015 CX-3 and they have been very good.
So far they have done around 35,000 km and are still going strong.
But I'm considering Michelin Primacy 3 when the Toyos need to be replaced next summer.

I had Toyo on mine, but had a puncture and replaced both front tyres with Falken. The Falken are A rated for grip in the wet, compared with C rated on the Toyo and they generate about one third of the noise of the Toyo. Very happy with the choice.

You beat me to it :)

I've got Toyo tyres fitted to my car. Only done a little over 10,000 miles but quite happy with them. If I were to change I'd be interested in Falken Azenis FK453CC 215/50 R18 92W. They have an economy rating of C, wet grip rating of A and noise rating of 67dB. Probably need to shop around to find a tyre place selling them or use one of the popular internet sites with an local fitting station.

My dealer just put the old tyres on the new rims or are you paying for new tyres?

I can't say how they will do for wear, the noise reduction was noticeable at first, but I've got used to it now and don't remember what it was like.
