Is the 2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo Carbon Edition the BEST compact SUV to buy?
Рет қаралды 237,142
Күн бұрынThe NEW Carbon Edition takes the style of the CX-5 up a notch for 2021. Under the hood is the 2.5L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 250HP & mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Getting power to the ground is an AWD system. On the outside the Carbon Edition features the beautiful Polymetal Grey color, black accents, badging and wheels. On the inside you will find an upgraded infotainment system, special red interior and lots of interior space. Is the 2021 Mazda CX-5 Turbo Carbon Edition the BEST compact SUV to buy?

Ive had 2 Mazda's and they were both great. Honestly, the name, their name is like nails on a chalkboard. Nobody is impressed or intrigued when you say, you own a Mazda lol. Their cars are good quality, just kinda.....souless aside from the Miata and a horrible sounding brand name.

@zoranpredojevic2371 3 жыл бұрын
They don't offer CVT transmission because they don't make hybrid vehicles. All other companies they do, therefore CVT transmission is a must. Mazda transmissions are not that great. I worked as a Mazda technician for many many years, and I replaced these transmissions all the time both 2 wheel drive and AWD. Working 30 years as a technician, I maybe changed once Toyota transmission, on the other hand I changed a lot Mazda, Honda, and Nissan transmissions CVT or non-CVT transmissions
