There are some ISSUES... | Living with the Mazda CX-60 

My 3.3L Inline 6 Diesel is 12 months old with 12k miles. Its currently having a brand new engine fitted due to severe overheating problems. The rear suspension is also being replaced due to a very bouncy ride. Great looking car but with some serious flaws unfortunately.

A lot of the issues with driver recignition or auto brake have been solved in a recall out mid June. Suspension can also be upgraded.

We too got our CX-60 PHEV late November 23. No real problem. Other than tinny sounding doors. I mentioned it during the recall and it had been sorted when I collected the car. As for the suspension being bouncy, we didn't have that but it was groaning a lot. Mazda promptly replaced all the shocks etc within 48 hrs of me asking if it was normal. So I can't complain. The issues with the safety functions on the car are a standard complaint of most modern cars from BMW, FORD, AUDI, MERCS, Honda, JAG even Peugeot and Hyundai. So I guess it's down to us not liking being told what to do by big brother forcing it upon us. The CX-60 is a great motor for what it is and what it does it does well.

Great review thank you. I like your attention to details eg brightness of the headlights and aircon not cooling as quick.

This model needs two years to be perfect 😂

5:39 "floor mounted accelerator". Gold. Were you just making sure we were paying attention?

The driver personalisation system is good. The little camera recognises who sits in car and adjust seat, steering and mirrors automatically assuming they have a profile stored. Other brands like Honda require you to use keys 1 and 2. The personalsation profile also remembers your audio preferences.

Did your unit receive the Transmission Software Update?

The biggest problem with the new Mazda CX-60 is actually the poor quality of the suspension, which is too rigid and completely spoils the ride comfort and also the driving safety. Fortunately, Koni has released special shock absorbers for this model. I fitted them on my CX-60 3.3 Turbodiesel and the comfort is a bit improved. However, I find it shameful that I had to spend 2000 CHF to drive my car in conditions of sufficient comfort and safety!

you can recline the back seats slightly? holy crap i never realised

I found the driver side mirror of Mazda cars has a lot blind spots.

hello, what model is this (year) and havent they fixed these issues yet?

Excellent 👌🏼

what country is this?

A more or less good review...nothing to special, and nothing fair. It's really a great intelligently produced car.

I guess it needs software upgrade and suspension.

For a luxury turbo six, your description of the sound isn't great. For $80k it should sound like Cindy Crawford in the shower.

🇦🇺🏁🏆

Unfortunately it's not a great car, I got a late 2023 petrol 3.3 top line and it's probably the worst car I've ever owned. Lumpy gear changes at low revs, poor bouncing suspension, boot floor will jump up on small bumps. Boot latch rattles like a bastard, it has tape on it currently to quieten it down. Lane assist is intrusive and dam right dangerous at times. Cannot be permanently disabled. The crash detection system kicks in even when you have clearly and safely passed a car. Dam annoying. The speed recognition is broken on certain speeds such as 90 and 130kmh. Driver recognition is a joke, very rarely works, turned it off now as I'm fed up of getting in and it leaves me 10cm away from the pedals. Phone charge pad constantly disconnects and reconnects to my phone, a bit useless really. Random rattles etc still to be pinned down.
