The “regular” Skyactiv engines that have been around since 2012 are just high-compression engines. The Skyactiv-X is the compression ignition variant, which is not yet available to the public (slated to be an option in the Mazda3 later this year.)

Yes, please...with a stick.
Cruel, but, good word use.
How ridiculous is that?
Here’s something interesting! The survey is scored differently in the US. For the US salespeople they use a 1-10 scale. The survey asks all the normal questions like “was the car available, did the test drive sway your decision, your likelihood to recommend the dealer and/or Mazda, overall experience, treated fairly,…
It’s really amazing how much of this shit still flies. I worked at a Mazda dealer for 6.5 years. They are a relatively small dealer and they are independently owned rather than part of a group, so, my experiences there are definitely not the same as elsewhere.

I have these now on my Mazda3 and they’re great. Also have had them on my previous couple of cars too and they’ve never let me down. I would bet for the price they can’t be beat.
In other news, a Subaru has a headlight out...
Now that’s an Uber car I wouldn’t mind being picked up in...
Was it at least an Aspen R/T??
So, I could be wrong, but I feel like the car labeled as a Crown Vic in the delightful chaos and destruction shots more closely resembles a Volvo 850....but maybe that’s just me...
Did they let you take them up the Mt. Washington Toll Road??
Dear Mazda - I’m a Mazda salesperson and Mazda3 owner with a 44mi (each way) commute! I would be happy to help with engine testing on a good mix of highway and normal road use, as well as some good old fashioned cold weather testing too!
That would be most excellent!
