Bought a v6 beast to drive it gently...go figure.

Smell isnt the only problem. Watch out for the steering issue.

They replaced mine a year ago under warranty since mayroon recall. Nasira ulit this year and it costs P275k daw...yes P275,000 to replace! Fighting to claim warranty. Might go to DTI. Beware!

Telltale sign: grnding feel when turnin and popping noise when turning at low speed.

Mahhirapan na akong mabenta unit ko. Shouldve sold it a year ago. Sigh...

I was choosing between the Ford Explorer and Mazda CX9 some years ago, I'm glad that I chose the latter. 5 years and not a single issue except it consumes more fuel.
