So the cars a 2018 20k miles grand touring. The cars priced at 24k

are there any major issues with 2018s. Whats the reliability like and longevity. Its has the 2.5l. Non turbo. Its gonna be my commuter car so i dont care about that. Any help would be appreciated

 

I follow this forum. I had a 2016.5 Grand Touring and now have a 2021 Signature. I've not read anything to indicate the 2018 has any problems with reliability compared to the other years. It sounds like you are getting a decent car at a decent price. I had 98,000 miles on the 2016.5 and not problems with it at all. I'm sure others will chime in, but I don't think you'll be disappointed.

 

You may want to check out cylinder deactivation issues. I have read a few things about it but since I don’t have it I really did not retain details

 

You probably want to check on this with a 2018: https://www.mazdaforum.com/forum/maz...-gasket-45796/

 

I bought a 2018 Sport new. Zero problems. I can feel the cylinder deactivation turning off and on, but there's nothing I really don't like about the car. My other car is a 1996 Miata, I just like how Mazdas handle.

 

Hard to beat a Miata, fun!

 

Had three before the CX-5 and I can say the CX-5 is ALMOST as much fun.
