I have a 2016 CX-5, and I absolutely love this vehicle. Absolutely the best trouble-free vehicle I have ever owned. Just reached 100k miles without any issues. 5k oil changes, transmission fluid change and just recently replaced the coolant. That is it folks. Hats off to the Mazda engineers! Zoom Zoom!

I have never left a youtube comment in my life. I also have been researching the CX-5 for days now and have seen a ton of videos. Yours is hands down the best, most informative, thoughtful one I've seen. And you're funny too. Keep up the great work!!!

I'm a certified Mazda technician I worked for Mazda for some time and these engines are absolutely one of the best out there

I bought my 2023 cx5 premium after my 97 corolla died beyond reasonable repair last month.. I never imagined myself getting a Mazda, as I've been dead-set on buying a Rav4 for MANY years when my car died. I was ABSOLUTELY blown away when I did my test drive at how much more refined the cx5 was than the rav4. Plus, the dealership had plenty of new inventory in stock, which was actually cheaper than buying even a 2018 Rav4 with 35,000 miles....... No regrets on the car. Love it

This guy should have way more subscribers. He actually gives viewers what they want to hear. As much as different tech features and interior aesthetics are nice, most reviews already cover that. What people want to know, which a lot of channels don't go into, is the actual reliability of the car, from the engine to the underside of the car.

Just bought a 2023 CX-5 Premium for my wife, and I'm loving it.. As a Mechanical Engineer, I love the top notch quality without useless over-engineering and Mazda is the king of this .. This is my 3rd new mazda I've purchased in a row. I still have my 2011 mazda 3 with 185k miles, (my daily driver), and my wife's old 2012 Mazda 5 with 130k miles.. Both of these cars have been flawless, neither of them ever having a mechanical failure in their combined 315k miles of driving.. I simply change fluids, filters etc on schedule, and they just keep running.. Heck my Mazda 3 still has the original brakes on it...crazy stuff..

Finally... a mechanic that knows his "stuff" and isn't afraid to tell it like it is! Great review! And... He's correct about the Mazda brand - Brilliant engineers. No One needs a ten-speed transmission! Six speed is just fine and 95.5% of buyers don't care about this anyway. (Except for us car nuts.) Mazda makes great cars and they're not afraid to stay away from crappy mechanical designs (CVT's etc.) I drove a MX-5 for 16 years and it was the best car I ever owned. Go MAZDA!😃

Very eloquent speaker. You feel like he is talking to you, not at you. Normal conversational voice, not like a pitch man talking too loud and too fast. Extremely knowledgeable man. A+.

I love my 2016 Touring CX-5. Bought it brand new, paid in full, and I've had absolutely zero problems with it in over 8 years thus far. Easily the best car I've ever owned. I get synthetic oil changes and tire rotations every 5k miles strictly on the dot. I do my own annual maintenance like swap out the 3 wiper blade inserts and 2 air filters annually. Also changed out the battery once on my own with a Costco Interstate. Batteries these days will last you only 3-4 years, so be proactive and change them out before you get any trouble. So easy to DIY maintain this vehicle! I have the FWD non-turbo with sunroof/Bose stereo package. Still running smooth on original brakes and my original Yokohama Geoloanders with no problem. I average 30mpg highway! I have sonic silver and it still looks showroom new after all these years. I run it monthly through a touchless wash. I plan to keep this car FOREVER with the way things are going.

Mazda, as a small automaker, is smart for taking something solid & then constantly tweaking it for an extended period of time, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel every 4-5 years with a completely new model version. They also use the same basic engine/drivetrain/etc. across all their model lines. That is essentially how Toyota originally gained their (now outdated) reputation for quality (sticking to certain proven tech for longer periods of time). I finally switched to Mazda in 2022, after a pretty dismal 2020 model year Toyota ownership experience.

You are my first comment in my life on KZfaq since 2007. after watching your video, I got myself a 2024 Mazda CX-5 premium.

I've owned a Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring since 2013! (5 of them) I absolutely love them!! I now have a 2022 Mazda 3

Love my CX-5. Best car I've ever owned. I get compliments all the time.

I own a 2013 I bought in late 2012. 215,000 miles and I had my first repair. 1 Coil pack. I changed all 4 and plugs in front of Parts store for around $400. Also developed valve cover leak after my warm florida car was in freezing weather -1 degrees. That was done in the driveway for $20. Brakes twice and frequent oil changes and I am ready for the next 200k.

A year ago I bought a 2019 CX-5 with a 2.5 l, naturally aspirated engine. I love this car!

Mazda does red SO WELL. That color just turns heads.

His detailed review is absolutely refreshing. I would buy this because of the delicate balance of modern and old school simplicity. Above all easier maintenance and reliability.

I just bought a 2024 model. Isn’t even in the market yet. Me and my wife test drove a 2023 and fell in love. Seems to be the most bang for your buck crossover. Very luxurious, drives like a sports car and according to the internet is a very reliable vehicle.

Best video review on a Mazda CX-5 I've seen. I'm really interested in getting one. This helps tremendously. The less tech in a car the better. Less things will go wrong.

Mazda, the hidden gem of the automotive world. The enthusiast version of a Toyota

this is what ive been looking for. thank you for brought it up in the air and see the underneath of mazda cx 5. contrary to what popular demand, I'm glad mazda spent money to improve nvh and handling and material quality used, rather than follow their competition

You're doing the best in depth car reviews! Such a pleasure to watch!

Thank you for this video. I have been a Toyota customer for over 30 years. Recently my 4Runner had to go after 20 years due to frame rust and hydraulic failure. Went to the dealer to buy a replacement, looking at a change to a smaller SUV, in this case the RAV4. I did not like the gasoline only model because of lack of power and very noisy. They had absolutely no stock of any vehicles on their lot. This was the same with every dealership for all of eastern Ontario. I ordered a RAV4 Hybrid but would not get delivery until December 2024. Well. I needed a vehicle right now and Toyota was selling their used RAV4, Camry, and other cars in some cases over $5,00.00 over the price of a new one. That when I started to look at other vehicle and came to find Mazda had new stock on hand. Did a lot of research of the company and vehicles, including this fantastic video from the car nut guy, that I’ve followed for years now. When you listen to him, a previous Toyota master technician, he knows a lot about all cars. Anyway, I made the plunge and bough5 myself a 2023 Mazda Signature Turbo in June that is Made in Japan, awesome quality, RAV4 Limited Hybrid I ordered doesn’t even come close. Needless to say, I cancelled the RAV4. In conclusion, I am now a Mazda customer with absolutely no regrets. If you need a vehicle, check out Mazda. You will be amazed at the quality, reliability and performance of their vehicles.

Love from 🇦🇺 one of the detailed car reviews I’ve ever come across, no buttering about company for sponsor or stuff, just a simple honest review in and out. Very nice one mate 😊

Love your detailed review focusing on more of the mechanical aspects of this CX-5 turbo signature model. The quality is usually above the other manufacturers ( made in Japan door jamb label is a big plus ). Driving dynamics also take a higher priority versus the competition.

Great review, great information! I've been driving Mazdas since 1988 and never a day in the shop except normal maintenance. I bought a new 2022 CX-5 last year and I love everything about it. It was a bit of a leap for me: 1) my first SUV 2) my first automatic transmission 3) my first all-wheel-drive 4) and believe it or not my first car that didn't have manual crank-down windows! (Only base models for me until now.) So I am NOT hungry for more tech. This car has far more tech than I need, and it's the next-to-base model.

Love your review! It really helps me deciding to either buy or not....love the fact that you're looking at maintenance portion of the ownership as well as possible problems 10 years down the road.

A very solid review. The mechanical aspects are covered comprehensively in simple terms for the daily drivers. Keep up the great work

I have a 2019 CX-5 GT Turbo. Best car I ever owned. No issues what so ever in 4 years. Will keep this car till I die. So much fun to drive and wife loves the look and supportive seats. I love the passing power most.

Beautiful color ❤ Simple design, Simple engine, Simple technology .. equals reliability 👍🏽

I just bought me a 2024 Mazda CX-5 Select and one of the reasons is this man's two videos on the car. Granted I've only had it 3 days and 127 miles on it, but I cannot complain. I'm glad I traded my 2012 Hyundai Elantra for this car. I just wish I could have gotten the blue or the red instead of the gray.

This guy is refreshing to listen to and gives accurate detailed technical information. He lends his opinion on subjective aspects with a fair and non biased approach! Better than 99.9% of the “legend in your own mind” types on youtube. I hereby rename thee” Car Care Sage”!

Having owned an "All Singing - All Dancing" Audi A6 with touch controls for nearly everything needing the driver to take their eyes out of forward field of vision, give me the rotary dial and elevated screen every time.

Glad that you are branching to do reviews on other car models. I have a 2014 CX-5 and that car is a joy to drive and my wife drives a Mazda Biante MPV. Never give us any problems. Will be passing ithe CX-5 down to my son soon and upgrade to a CX-90 when that car is released.

AMD you are genius. All questions that I had are answered in next seconds of video. I just needed to wait a bit. Excellent. Thank you.

I know this video is a year old but can you please do more like this with other car brands? I have found this SO thorough and so helpful. As someone who cares about everything (not just the looks or the engine) I really appreciate you doing a full walk around (and under) of the vehicle, pointing out good points and weak points. Thank you for this!

One of the best review I ever watched online. Why? Because this guy who wears this classic coverall of a car mechanic seems like a guy you can really trust. And off course, he really knows what he is talking about. Simplicity of this eingine and transmission is the best thing about this car and that is exactly what the guy pointed out. Many people would say it is slow because it is 2,5L eingine with "only" 194 bhp and no turbo. But those are the people that don't have idea that if you take small egine and put turbo or 2 or 3 turbos in it, it will have a much bigger pressure in the engine and will release bigger temperature. All fo these things will lead to comlications and mailfunctions in the future. That is why Mazda keeps it plain and simple. A car that looks great, feels great, has enough power for a great passenger car and is built to last. And I totaly agree about the electronic hatch. People are proud when they can open the trunk with a single button and they are trying to impress others by doing that. What they don't understand that all this kind of electronic features will break some day and when they do, it won't be simple and cheap to repair. Once agan, great review. Great to see someone who really know what and why is he talking about.

AMD, The independent rear suspension in the CX-5 will never get old. The torsion beam in their other CUVs and cars will get old really quickly. On the positive side, I wish Toyota would follow Mazda in sharing their efficient and powerful 2.5 engine across multiple models . The Corolla Cross and Corolla could really use it.

I have 2022 mazda cx5 ce. and the more i put millage into it. the more the drive gets better! Great car handles corner real good enough power to accelerate on the freeway easy to merge! and the look simple yet elegant timeless! Unlike other over styled car.

Just leased a 2023 cx5 turbo and have watched many reviews. One thing I have yet to hear anyone mention is that the headlights turn when turning a corner (at least on my model).

A very informative review of the Mazda CX-5. Thank you for taking the time to explain all the different aspects in real human terms. Really helps with the search for a new vehicle. And I'll always appreciate the review from a fellow bass player. More bass! Cheers!

I own a 2014 Mazda 6 with the 2.5 Skyatic powertrain. It has been an absolute dream to own. Zero issues in almost 9yrs and and 105k. It definitely feels a little down on power and MPG vs when it was new, so im sure it probably needs the valves cleaned but still plenty quick and the interior build quality has held up.....other than the well documented steering wheel cover of course.

Great review . The CX-5 is the most genius design . Simple yet functional with very proven and trusted old school technology with Beautiful interior . The CX-5 is not competing with Toyota RAV4 or Subaru or other suvs in this segment . It is way more quality oriented that even BMW X3 or X5 cannot come close to it . I don't care about latest technology with 500 sensors that can break down any minute . CX-5 has Excellent ride quality . Handling . Quietness and driving dynamics . The best in its class .

XReally appreciate this kind of review, looking at it from a mechanics POV. One of the reasons that convinced me to get a CX-5!

We are on our second CX-5. First was a 2018 GT, and the new one is a 2023 non-turbo Premium Plus. They drive excellent and the engine is quite responsive. I much prefer the command knob over a touch screen. The command dial is fantastic, to be honest. Also, I never felt the front end bump that AMD mentioned. The A-pillar is also not an issue at all. Otherwise, mostly accurate review.

AMD has been flirting with Mazda for a while now. Maybe he knows deep down that Mazda is the new Toyota in terms of quality and reliability.

I have a 2021 Turbo CX-5. It is a great car. I don't consider it outdated because it has all the technology I want (plus some I don't really care about) and neither stands out from the crowd nor gets lost in it. When I come out of the gym or grocery store and look at the cars, all the late model SUV's pretty much look the same so I see no reason for Mazda to rush to change the CX-5.

The Best car in its class. The Best looking for sure. Non Turbo Engine for me please, just the 2.5L I4. Made in Japan- The Best quality. Winner All around👍

Nice review. I'm on my third Mazda (all leased), and second CX-5. My first Mazda was a 2016 Mazda3 hatchback Touring 2.0. Great little car, excellent fuel economy. Only thing was that it wasn't great if the streets weren't properly plowed of snow (Long Island, NY). So in 2018 I traded up to a 2018 CX-5 AWD Touring (non-turbo). In 2020 I went to a 2020 CX-5 FWD (in Florida no snow, so no need for AWD) Touring (again non-turbo). I find that the base 2.5 has more than enough power for me. When I need to accelerate quickly I just mash the gas pedal down and it takes off like a rocket, in normal mode (not even sport mode). It handles great, excellent brakes, and is reliable. Mine all have the display being touch screen, but only at stop or very slow speeds (I believe up to 10 mph). Above that you have to use the knob. Personally I think that touch screens in moving cars is just as dumb as using a hand held cell phone. Now I'm looking at the CX-50, because I like that it has a longer and wider cargo area than the CX-5. Again, non-turbo. I also don't like the Bose system because the subwoofer sits in the middle of the spare, which is where I like to keep my jumper cables. Also, on the subject of spare tires, Mazda including spare tires is one of the reasons I went with Mazda back in 2016. At the time I got the Mazda3 I was also considering comparable models from Kia and Hyundai. But they didn't come with a spare, plus they were about to be replaced with new versions for 2017, so I went with Mazda3. I'm glad I did, because a year later when driving I hit a monster pothole, which had claimed about a dozen other cars that morning. It cracked the right front alloy wheel, causing a loss of air. If I didn't have the spare I would have needed to be towed, but because I had the spare, I was able to drive the car to the dealer to check what other damage had been caused by the impact with the pothole (fortunately none). Just had to replace the wheel and get an alignment.

If it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me. Very informative, thank you AMD.

You seriously have the BEST reviews for people looking to make wise informed choices! Bravo! 👏

Thank you. Excellent review. This really helped a great deal. Very direct and professional approach.

I have a 2014 cx5 GT, bought with 45000 miles, just turned 150000, replaced both front and rear brakes, tires, transmission service at 99000, Coolant change at 12000, Oil changes at 7 to 8000 with additive, (castrol 0 20w used 1/2 qt, Kendall 0 20w uses 1 qt) use 91 non ethanol since I owned it no issues with idle or signs of valve issues, tight steering, original exhaust, few paint chips on front, no rust any where and here the roads get chemicals when there are flurries, Had 08 cx-9 before drove to 180000 ford engine started to leak in rear main seal, I sold Mazda's in early 90's, buy a Mazada that has a vin number that starts with a J

Stellar review! I love the car and completely agree about the transmission

I own a 2016 I bought new. I still love it! Starts fine without being plugged in in -30 celcius. Works excellent in winter conditions with deeper snow. Looks good, easy to drive and park downtown and it’s plenty fast enough.

Great video! How can you find time to produce such informative, thoughtful, objective and thorough videos while working on cars. You must be a Superman from another life.

My wife just upgraded her 2017 CX-5 for a 2024. It's mostly the same, but that's a good thing. Ride and noise levels seem improved and tech is slightly better. Also, I have a Subaru Outback and it's one of the other rare models that offer a turbo and non-turbo engine in the same trims. Mine is a 2015 non-turbo and I'd gladly trade up to another non-turbo. It's a great car, although painfully underpowered at times.

I have the 2021 CX-5 touring with the Bose system in it. I absolutely love this vehicle. It’s really fun to drive. Handles very well.

Just found your channel and really appreciate your reviews - their thorough and flow smoothly.

Hitting the nail on the head! Want to see more of YOUR reviews, thanks!

Great review! thanks! My CX-5 doesn't have the Bose Audio system, but I'm pretty sure that if you go to Audio settings you'll find "Advance Mode" which enables a very cool 13 band EQ

Brilliant cars. My 2015 is a tad noisy but the lower weight gives great performance. Totally reliable.

I got a Mazda 6 GT 2021, love how the car handles and drives and zooms at higher speeds with just a little touch of the gas. Same soul red crystal metallic color too.

My wife and I just bought a 2023 CX-5 AWD and absolutely love it!

I have the 2019 CX5 Grand touring Preffered, with turbo. Great vehicle, and I have no problem with the pillars, and the six speed transmission is fine. The audio system not the greatest though. I find it sounds better after I unplugged the sub woofer. I do recommend the turbo option, but still a nice car without.

This was a great presentation, with objective advice for a potential buyer.

I still don't know what I think of the CX-5 yet... but I saw that Mazda red in person yesterday. It was a sunny after noon and that candy apple read as absolutely stunning.... never seen a red car so beautiful in my life!

God bless you for this realistic normal consumer talk. I think you do say that this is a fantastic every day driver. Nothing is perfect, but this one is pretty close ❤️❤️❤️I still drive 2013 CX5 and it is absolutely kind to me.

Omg this car is gorgeous!❤ takes me back t our old 2016 Mazda6 in Soul Red Metallic.

Just bought a 2023 Carbon Edition last month, after owning a 2014 CRV. No doubt a little smaller in cargo space, but better ride quality and seating comfort. No turbo, no cvt; just a standard 6 speed automatic. It may seem behind on technology, but I'm okay with the "old school" luxury feel. Gas mileage to 34 mpg freeway, 29 in mixed driving. Great curb appeal and simple luxury.

love the reviews, thank you!

Outstanding review. So professional and entertaining at the same time. Chapó!

Still have a 2014 that I bought new. 140k miles and it’s easily the best car I ever owned. The fit and finish is so good it makes my 2017 F150 look like it was assembled by gerbils. It’s stunning the level of quality Mazda can churn out.

We own a 2014 CX-5 which we bought used in 2020. The car had about 70000 km (40000 mi) on it when purchased and now has 115000 km ( 70000 mi) on it. We paid $16000 Cdn for it. Boy did we luck out! Best car I've ever owned by far! Zero problems and fantastic to drive. Definitely would buy another one!

I really appreciate these reviews! I really appreciate seeing how a vehicle is built which is missing from most reviews. I can take it for a test drive and see the layout of the buttons myself.

This is great. I have watched your videos on the Rav4 Prime since we have one but we also have a 2021 CX5 Signature. The 23 is virtually unchanged except for a minor refresh.

After test driving and researching the major Japanese brands and Korean names , i chose the CX 5 as my first non German car ! One reason or the major reason was 1) how simple the car is non gimmicky things here and there , its pretty much as old school as you could get in 2021. I chose the second model from the bottom (Touring) mainly bec it doesnt have leather ( it cooks and dries in Florida) . It also had the lowest insurance cost among other similar small SUVsand according to IIHS super tough crash 40 MPH offset testing it was the only model to pass with a Good Rating . And the transmission has a diostick ! Cant find that anymore. Ive done 2 long 1200 miles each (5 plus hours behind the wheel) , super comfortable seats ! In comparison my 5 series BMW feels like your sitting on concrete slabs after 2 hours . Ive driven it fast ( over 100mph ) and feels solid even zig zagged at that speed and felt reassured ..no wobbling uneasy feeling. Gripes !!? Very few 1) smallish gas tank for highway travel range is 320 or so miles a couple more gallons would help the range anxiety, 2) Plastic thermostat housing ….3) I would have liked to see more aluminum in the suspension control arms ( for longevity. ) The dealership expeerience has been excellent in Miami ( the Rudeness capital of the US ) in comparison the upscale BMW dealer always makes u feel as if youre asking for a free favor. Sinve ive owned german cars all my life, when I bought the Mazda ( new) i immediately bought extra oil and coolant - because i dont leave home without that on my BMWs ….never had to use that on my Mazda ..

Great video! Would you consider doing a review on the last Mazda suv you haven’t reviewed yet, the CX-9?

My 5 years review on the 2017 CX-5 Grand Touring; When I first looked at the CX-5 reviews EVERYONE compared it to other mid sized SUVs all said the all the other SUV's won b/c the others had a few extra sq feet on internally space, why is that a win? Had mine since 2018, & ZOOM ZOOM! Very happy, only way I'd be happier is if I had the turbo model, mine is the 2017 CX-5, no turbo, but did get it for a few thousands off the KBB price for a low end model, but the Jeep Dealership didn't know what they had, it was the full loaded Grand Touring, with additional extra optional packages installed. If you know the features, & know how to spot them in a photo, you can get a great deal buying used if they have it posted as a lesser model, this is how I got my deal. The sun roof feels like it belongs in a car from the late 1980s, & if I put something on the passenger seat over 15 lbs. the damn seat belt warning will beep w/ no way to turn it off. All four leather seats are heated, but I think it is only for the butt, not the lower back, something I loved in my last car. Been thinking if possible getting lower back heat added & seat air conditioning. btw, with two dogs, the white leather seats look brand new, dogs haven't left a mark on the white leather after 5 years. But I do love how it handles around turns, the CX-5 is able to take a turn very fast for any vehicle b/c of Mazda's wheel control, that super fasts applies breaking and or speed to remove almost 100% of any car tilt or roll (you do not even know it is doing it), it is something you have to try for yourself, if you own a CX-5, or test drive one, try a 90 degree sharp turn at 35, 40 miles per hour (good tires, dry road) you'll see a car tilt only seen in very stiff sports cars, & do not do it with a car full of groceries, or if you have small children or pets, or open beverages in the vehicle because centrifugal force is still a thing, but highly recommended if your girlfriend or wife is applying lipstick! ... only do it to your wife if you have a nice sofa to sleep on. And when you try the fast sharp turn, make sure there are no wet leaves, this is how I totaled my Alpha Romeo by snapping off both right side wheels off when I slide into a curb & kept sliding 30 feet over boulders, (lucky I didn't flip) did 6+ grand of damage to a 2.5 grand car, strange thing, I hit a huge patch of wet leaves & there wasn't a tree in site in any direction as far as I could see.

Thanks for sharing this video, excellent review of CX5.👍

The screen on my 2020 CX-5 is touch capable but only when you’re not moving. I realized this like 2 years into owning the car. It won’t allow touch while driving as a safety measure but when stopped or in park you can swipe the screen and touch on the screen to operate it when I use Apple CarPlay.

I have noticed the hop before but it's not really a big deal to me personally because of how quite it is at almost all times. It's significantly quieter than my rav 4 that I wanted to line with dynomatt since the first few months we had it and I started to notice and your right it's really Lexus levels of silence

Thank you for the vid - I picked up a 2023 CX-5 in September and it's great. I've had the B2000, Protege, Mazda3 (275k miles), CX-9, and now the CX-5. Waiting on the hybrid!

Your videos have taught me what to look at in purchasing a new vehicle. This time, for me, you pointed out a few negatives that will keep me from purchasing the CX5. Although a stylish SUV, the alloy wheels appear as if from the early to mid 2000s. As always thank you for your expert analysis.

It's been on the market for several years and is still arguably the best vehicle in the category.

BRAVO MAZDA.We want simple,reliable,practical cars.

Thanks for your review. I've watched it multiple times and in addition to watching it compared to other, similar models, we ended up buying a new 2023 Mazda CX-5 last month. I've only ever owned Kia and Hyundai, but from the few weeks we've had the CX-5, we LOVE it! Keep up the great work!

Dear Car Care Nut, it is much appreciated to see that you, being a Toyota guy, have not let the Toyota tunnel vision take over your senses. With this review you proved yet again that you are a car guy and you can tell a good car when you see one, no matter the brand. When two years ago I came face to face with the sad reality of having to replace my beloved SVT Focus, the Mazda CX-5 was one of the considerations. Cool looks and premium feeling interior did seem attractive, and above all was the fact that this is the best handling car in its class. Unfortunately, I chickened out and let my rational side make the decision. Not having driven one or having a particular option on it, I decided to get the RAV4, hoping that it will live up to the company reputation of reliability.AND, for fairness sake I have to admit that this was at the peak of chip shortage and there were waiting lists for new cars. So, wasn’t too much of a choice (and it’s not like I’m complaining about my RAV4). It’s just that we both would agree as to which of the two is the better driver’s car…

Great detailed review, the Cx5 generally is a good car I have a 2016 and and the transmission is a dream, however, the diesel engine is somewhat troublesome if I buy another it will be the same model but with the petrol engine, the petrol engines made by mazda are truly trouble free engines.

Very extensive review. Much appreciated! Well, I should say that the wood plank is not a fake one at all - it is a veneer of Japanese ash.

Subscribed for the incredible detailed videos and the sweet outro. God bless.

Love this channel, and a major reason why I went with Mazda. Never owned an import in my life. With prices so crazy now, I looked at damn near every small SUV out there. For the money, this is the most reliable, and well equipped vehicle, period. Got my 2023 Mazda CX5 Carbon edition just a few months ago, can already say best vehicle I have ever owned.

i own 2013 cx5 2.2d awd manual shifter,had minor problems when new,was fixed under warranty,got low km,76k,so far i only had to exchange ball joints front and back and break pads, had problems with dpf but they fixed that with different oil cap i think,wish there was a dpf warning light though

I'm 6'3", and I have an RX300. I've never seen a similar thing on any other SUV. The RX has little triangle windows in the pilar area. I guess they were thinking about everyone when they designed those windows. They can be useful at times.

this is the first car review I’ve seen that show under the car. Well done, sir! Got me as a subscriber.

' A good honest review pointing out things that you like and things that aren't up to scratch (sealant) and mentioning possible future problems with the direct injection engine.

It's not fake but genuine Japanese wood trim in the Signature...Also, I just sold my Mazda 6 2018 signature and purchased a 24 signature CX5 and the sound system is dramatically improved from 2018, I was pleasantly surprised...my only con is that it likes gas.

I'm an old school and very practical woman who doesn't like too much technology surrounding me. So yes, I bought a CX 5 last year with new colour Zircon sand metallic 😊

Great video....thanks! I had a 2007 Lexus ES350 and then bought a '21 CX-5. My one and only beef. is that the "hopping" (as you said), is very annoying. I too would have wanted the "mid" adjust with the EQ - I agree, completely! And I did add an Alpine 12" subwoofer in a sealed type enclosure, driven by a JL Audio amp, to address that "missing bass" you were talking about! So let me say - I like, and respect your opinions on automotive topics. I have watched many of your videos and always am impressed.....Thanks for this video.

2015 CX 5 GT. 139k and still going strong. Oil changes full synthetic, brakes and a few battries later....very reliable car.
