I narrowed it down to a bad thermostat and bad radiator. I ordered the OEM Mazda parts for $450.00

Pros: OEM parts

Cons: bad thermostat

I have an 06 Audi A3 2.0T Sportback with just over 105k miles; recently replaced the thermostat, spark plugs and coil packs. Other than being in need of some new brakes and a bit of cosmetic love, she's running strong.

Pros: running strong

Cons: needs new brakes

Vehicle: Audi A3

Mileage: 168981 km

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.

Pros: minor problem, extended warranty

Cons: thermostat issues

Vehicle: Mazda

Mileage: 50000 km

Your 2013 ford escape is actually built on the same platform as a 2013 cx-5, different engine though. Earlier ford models would actually use Mazdas engines like the escort, focus, and fusion. Mazda and ford had a long partnership that ended around 2013 and since then Mazdas quality and reliability has steadily increased. For the price ranges they are solid cars, I think the mazda3 shines here, it’s pretty competitive and affordable in its class. Also one of the few eco cars that has a real automatic. They don’t have any major issues, my 21 3 has been solid. It needed the thermostat replaced, but Mazda covered me since they have a lengthy extended warranty for that specific part.

Pros: solid, competitive, affordable, real automatic

Cons: thermostat replacement needed

Vehicle: Mazda 3

Recently had the exact same issue on a 14 a6 ended up being a DOA t stat I compared the shaft length on the new t start to the 2nd new t stay and sure enough it protruded out about a mm further just enough to not seal properly causing the over cooling after the swap no more issues.

Pros: no more issues

Cons: over cooling

Rating 3.0

I have the ‘19 CX-5, live in NH. Seems normal to me, when it’s below zero outside and the at idle, it should not be hot. Warm after 5-10 yes, but not warm as it would be after driving for 10 minutes.

Pros: Warm after 5-10

Cons: not hot at idle

I just got this fixed at the dealer on my 21. Its the thermostat. They put in over a million bad ones and don't want to own it with a recall so they sent out a TSB. There's also an extended warranty for all the cars for this part/labor.

Pros: fixed at dealer, extended warranty

Cons: defective part, no recall
