Question 1

Is Mazda's Skyactiv-Drive automatic gearbox reliable?

Accepted Answer

It is generally regarded as a durable gearbox: a conventional six-speed torque-converter automatic that locks up early for a direct feel. On a test drive, check that it shifts smoothly and without delay when cold.

Question 2

What should I check on the gearbox of a used Mazda CX-60?

Accepted Answer

Its eight-speed automatic uses a clutch instead of a torque converter, and some early owners reported jerky shifts at low speed. Ask whether the latest software updates have been applied, and try it in slow traffic.

Question 3

Is a used Mazda2 Hybrid an automatic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Mazda2 Hybrid, based on the Toyota Yaris, has only an e-CVT automatic. The petrol Mazda2 without the hybrid name came as a manual or a six-speed automatic.

Question 4

Which new Mazda models come with an automatic gearbox?

Accepted Answer

All but the MX-5: the Mazda2 Hybrid with its e-CVT, the Mazda3 and CX-30 with a six-speed automatic, the CX-5, the CX-60 and CX-80 with an eight-speed, plug-in or 3.3 diesel, and the electric 6e and CX-6e.
