Back in the early 1980s I remember how peer pressure kept guys at our Mazda dealerships from blowing brakes clean during inspections and repairs.

I have this car. Most important is that below -12C, the gas engine stays on, and won't let you drive around on electric alone. That accounts for several months of driving in our winters. Secondly, even in temps below +10C, you have less access to the battery's energy, so your range drops even independently from the usual cold temp range losses.
I put 220,000 miles on a Mazda six sport automatic transmission 2015 before my son wrecked it without doing anything except changing in the brakes and some steering parts and of course oil changes synthetic it had started to use a little oil between changes maybe a quart.
Some of the newer Mazda Skyactives have thermostat issues, but it's a minor problem (only symptom is taking longer to warm up) and Mazda extended the warranty on them. It's the only issue I've brought the car to the dealer for on my 21 Mazda 3 without roughly 50k on it.
I have 2014 2.2 diesel version, 211000km on her and just got oil pump and camshaft changed 1200e repair.
The other 4 cars in the family all do better with heavy rain than the CX30 did when I got it. I did figure it out after a while. Step 1 re-bend the wiper arms by hand just a little so they have more firm contact with the glass ( old mechanic trick ), Step 2 Rain X the glass using the wipes not in the washer tank, Step 3 front defroster on cold. This works for me in Florida torrential downpours at 90 degrees, 80% humidity and 1/2 inch per hour rain rate while doing 65-70. Works way better now. I still use auto mode for wipers most of the time, but I do use high for anything over a light rain as they are still a little slow compared to the 2018 Escape, 21 Tahoe or even 87F150. My other Mazda is way better as far as wipers go.
I've owned this vehicle a little over 3 months. This will be the second time I'm replacing it... yeah, I'd say this windshield is weak..
I had to have mine replaced less than 2 months after purchase in June 2023. A small rock got thrown up and put a big bullet hole in the glass.
My windshield cracked
Replaced the windshield twice in 3 years
