Reviews of OEM Mazda automatic transmission

The auto in the NC and ND are far better than the old NA and NB ones.

The auto box sometimes seems to lag to put the power down when entering roundabouts. I’ve learnt to adapt to it and it is not a problem

Torque converter AND transmission failure. Known Mazda issue too. Will run me $3000-$10,000 depending if I replace both. At this point I’m pretty sure my car is only worth $15k. Cost of repairs is/will be more than it’s worth.

I have a 2016 CX5 2.0L automatic.

transmission is clunky when downshifting to lower gears, especially when slowing down from low speed, have that issue since day one( purchased 4 years ago with 69000km, now speedo is on 145000km, not any major issue so far, knock on wood).

automatic transmission is no longer as smoothly as she used to be

if you still want a reliable old school torque converter 6-speed auto on a commuter car, Mazda still sticks with them. And they're good!
