Dude you're sacrificing MPG for driving dynamics, let me tell you this car is one of the best drivers car for the money. Especially for a SUV. I drove a stelvio ti sport 2020 and it was the best handling , driving SUV I've ever driven. I went back to my CX5 and i was blown away, this car costs half of what that car costs and it delivers 80% of the feel. The handling is spot on, I'd kill myself if I have to drive a rav4. Mazda is so underrated. The fit and finish is better than the CRV too, great video. Thanks for punching it unlike other reviewers ! TBH this car drives better than the rdx , it feels heavier and not as nimble. Steering is also numb and brakes are even spongier ! I drove a RDX advanced 2021 model , also adaptive steering too.. but the CX5 has tighter steering for sure, heavier most people don't like it. I do !
I watched this video before buying mine, I am very happy with it. Lots of power on tap at any speed, handling is engaging and the sound system thumps. Only criticism would be the brakes, they feel under powered sometimes but this is a minor complaint.
That’s what I love about the 2.5 S also is the power in any gear. But obviously, if you want a Mazda Sport vehicle, the Mazda Turbo lineup is the way to go.
Nice review! I appreciate that you demonstrated various aspects of the car from a "real" driver's perspective, which is rarely found in many of the TH-cam car reviews. Great job and keep it up!
Your 0-60 was 7.5 seconds and that is in the same range as all the other tests (both instrumented and non instrumented) I have seen on youtube. the sub 7 second 0-60 times reported in the car magazines would seem to be BS after watching 8 videos and seeing 0-60 times of 7.2 to 7.5 seconds.
Same totally different cars but yet I can understand how they both are appealing the CX five drives 1 million times better. It drives like a car but not just a car a really good car the forerunner that’s not it strong suit it’s strong suit is going to be bad weather, off-road ability, and the fact That if you worked at it you could probably get a good 20+ years out of it. Especially if your live somewhere without salted roads.
Amazing review! I’m debating on upgrading from my 2020 Mazda 3 GT AWD to a CX5 Turbo AWD next year and this helped! I hope they upgrade the screen though and introduce fog lights next year!!
Only if you abuse it and don't change the oil, like any other turbo, this isn't for racing and constantly driving heavy footed. Easy everyday driving and maintenance and you'll be fine

thank you!!

Fantastic! Definitely should check out my CX-5 turbo review!
What Navigation system was running? Mazda, or Carplay/Android Auto?
Waze through Apple CarPlay
The pedals still vibriting when you are on the road?
yeah, a lot of road feel in the cabin but not necessarily road noise.
Thank you all the details. Few other reviewers mentioned a hopping feeling with this car becuase of a shorter wheel base. Did you also feel the same?
Yes i did on harder launches, felt like the front end was getting lose a bit. But nearly immediately was controlled by traction/ and those systems.
This is the model I’m hoping to get. Are they all turbo?
They are not!
What gas are you using? Brand and octane.🤔
Shell 93 Octane.. top of the line
Do the turbos still have oil consumption issues?
Only if you abuse it and don't change the oil, like any other turbo, this isn't for racing and constantly driving heavy footed. Easy everyday driving and maintenance and you'll be fine
Why are you power braking?
building some boost man.
Oh man ur thighs is 😳🏳️🌈
