Yes, this was my point, they will always prioritise certain markets, and especially one where the core of the car is the same build as that of the one on native soil. Its not excusable though, all cars/orders should be dealt with in a chronological order, but its evident they arent.

We also have a large percentage of cars being built and sent ahead of actual orders as the options and colour variations with the CX60 are quite low.
May well be the case that right-hand drive cars are getting prioritized over left-hand drive, but given the size of the mainland EU market and the US market Mazda is not doing themselves any favors on that front.

I am sure most importers/dealers order well-specked cars in "non-aggressive colors" ahead of the actual demand. They are safe with Mazda as the color spectrum is generally very boring (with the possible exception of soul crystal red). Not sure how many Takumi packages they will end up selling. The bright interior is not very user friendly, especially if you have kids.

No complaints about wind isolation?
Like Southeastern said, it is OK at highway speeds, but not spectacular. The wingmirrors are also relatively small, so they do not generate too much extra noise.
 
Received a new PHEV 2 days ago. How do I check whether my cx60 got the newer software suspension?
Drive it..if your prostate or coccyx feels like it’s gonna explode over potholes then you don't. If you feel like you've done a few rounds with Rocky Balboa after a couple of hours continuous drive, then you don't.

Mines 111755. So hopefully mine's with the new one. Thank you.
Its very unlikely you do.

The latest batch of PHEVS at my dealers alll had the option if customer requested. These were fresh off the transporter. The VIN codes were debunked last year I believe, its the same for the door sound-proofing. We havent seen newer build cars in the UK yet. Remember, all the cars we have are still 2022 builds as it takes 3-6 months just for transport. Direct order cars are taking 6-9 months to be delivered.

The 'suspension' swap didn't even get authorised till late last year, and it looks like all they have done is put the dampers from the diesel on to the PHEV.

Did any units in this batch have higher VIN serial than 111656 for suspension, or or higher than 123631 for doors?

Which might well be the case and the VIN's are not correct, I'm just wondering if there are any specific examples?
 
Hello
Anybody experiencing error code of 400C04 using MyMazda app?
I cannot connect with my car and status has not updated for days.
I've heard CX5 owners having this issue, apparently the software needs reflashing on the car by your dealer. Have you tried the OTA software update, and is it up to date?

I couldn't tell you, but after surveying a couple of dealers stock , none have had any of the work predone on any of the new cars coming in.

The same with my fresh off the boat diesel, the doors had not been done. I'll be able to check my VIN tomorrow on mine though so I'll let you know what it is.

Since the beginning of April in Poland are cars 2023.
 
I took delivery of my (UK delivered) CX-60 PHEV on 1st March 2023 (straight off the transporter) and my ride is perfectly fine, and vastly better than my former Mercedes E350D that had bone jarring low profile tyres that I had to replace three times in three years due to potholes. Yesterday, my (adult) back seat passengers on a long journey were delighted with the comfort (see below).

Yes, early delivered cars were ‘lemons’, but they seem to have washed through the manufacturing process. Early adopters have a right to moan if not yet fixed, but can we otherwise move on to avoid damaging resale values of perfectly sound new cars? The only unsatisfactory item with mine is that wireless charging is fickle with my I-Phone 12, but I use a USB cable inside the centre console storage and it charges fine.

Predicted range is wholly UN-reliable In line with most EVs. Yesterday I drove 226 miles, mostly at 70 MPH motorway in <Normal> with radar cruise control (e.g. a much lighter touch than most right feet) and still have around half a tank left and a predicted residual 140 miles range. To be fair, I twice recharged back to 15 miles using the Recharge button (which must help extend range, but diminish fuel) and the car now reports a complete 226 mile journey at 2.4 m/kW and respectable over 40MPG, whilst I still have a few EV miles left (n.b. after using the second recharge Button as I approached my destination). I probably didn’t need to use the recharge button, but I wanted to simulate leaving my car at an airport with some residual EV battery ready.

I generally drive most days in EV only and enjoy more than 34 miles actual EV range, twice exceeding 40 mile actual, albeit the car still predicts a mere 27 - 31 depending on weather. Early cars were pants, but genuinely new (UK) deliveries appear not, but it is best to ask how long has your dealer had it in stock. If your ride remains poor, your dealer will replace the shocks, but current production models appear fine. I also appear to be saving decent money compared to diesel, especially, if the residual (140 miles) predicted range proves to be true today, despite my £0.34 p/kW electricity tariff. I remain delighted with my PHEV, having previously owned Mercedes, Jaguar XJL and XF.

i feel pretty comfortable when I drove in B roads. But this can be confirmed with the dealer? I did and recall check on my VIN and there is no recalls.

also about the doors, mine feels pretty insulated.I couldn't hear wind noise much, but tire noise yes. But I believe that could be because of 20" tires.

Suspension and sound proofing are not recalls, dealer can check if yours is applicable for them, but some dealers have been seen to fob people off and tell them lies strangely.

If you’re happy with the suspension and the door closing sound then no need to change it.

Its not so much the 20’s its the Bridgestones that cause that tyre roar. Great tyres for handling but rock hard and noisy without much give for comfort and the CX60 does lack insulation overall, so combined..

Ill probably fit an all season noise cancelling tyre when it comes to replace them.

is there any emails/posts about this upgrade which I can show it to my dealer and ask about it?

Just tell them the service bulletins

I dont get why you worried about them if you're happy with the car though, thats the reason the dealers dont advertise them as people create a problem when they see a fix for a problem they never had :)

Thanks - not worried, may be I could ask them to test drive a model that has upgraded suspension and Door dampening and see if that's actually has a difference. Coming from a yaris, current setup is really good for me. Now I can know if it's better than.
 
There are tyres that are less noisier than others but I have never heard about noise cancelling. Some cars have noise cancelling built in on the sound system but not Mazda. If changing tyres always be aware that the car needs tires with a goos weight resistance as it is heavy.
