Nope. Mazda is one of the few Japanese automakers that doesn't use a CVT in their compacts and mid-size vehicles and I give them props for that as IMO CVT's are one of the worst things to happen to vehicles in the last 15 years. It pretty well marks most Japanese vehicles off my shopping list automatically.
