Then again, I've said this from Day One. Buy a Toyota if you want great long-term resale. Buy a Mazda if you want great long-term driving enjoyment. But to answer your original question, there hasn't been any major issues/malfunctions that are known with the 2.5L Turbo, neither with the CX-9 or the 6.

2012, the number of models that fully incorporate Skyactiv Technology has increased. Starting in 2019, Mazda has been introducing new-generation technologies, including the Skyactiv-X engine, set to become the world’s first commercial gasoline engine to use compression ignition.*1 This unique new-generation engine combines the advantages
2012 Mazda3 Skyactiv 2.0L vin 7, bought brand new December 2012. Started running a little rough around 75k miles and dropping mileage. Changed plugs to NGK Iridiums around 80k miles. Mechanic told me that one plug was so shot, it was barely even sparking. Engine seemed to even out for a bit, then started running rough again.
According to Mazda, the 2.0-liter SkyActiv-X delivers up to 30 percent more torque than the equivalent SkyActiv-G 2.0 unit while reducing fuel consumption by as much as 30 percent.
This engine closely resembles my hallowed 1990 BMW 325i’s legendary 2.5L Inline 6 for power/torque delivery and responsiveness characteristics and is darn near as smooth at every RPM. Of course the mazda engine is making much more power and torque. What a wonderful engine this Mazda 2.5G Skyactiv is!
