The Rav4 is dated with cheapish interior materials. It's long in the tooth and needs a total re-design. That said, I love my 2017 CX-5 Touring. Awesome vehicle. Best vehicle I've ever owned. I used to be a "Ford guy", but after owning the CX-5 I doubt I'll be back. Ford does make great vehicles though. Who knows. If the Ranger comes back and it's affordable...who knows. Mazda should bring back the small truck they used to have to rival the Tacoma, Ranger, Ridgeline...ect.
I'm not sure how they can rank a car lower than average after only a couple weeks of being released (which mine is doing great). I was speaking to the companies as a whole. He mentions Honda having legendary reliability, but their new platforms are not living up to that.
Cory Morgan Just wondering how it's holding up and what model you got? How's the acceleration and what not?I know it's not a sports car haha, just is it adequate power?.. I am Planning on getting one soon !
Motive X7 I have no issues with it. I have almost 1000 miles on it. The only complaint is the Soul Red Crystal paint seems thin. I have a couple chips already.
Cory Morgan Ah I see, what color is exposing underneath the red? I am planning on getting the black model or machine grey , hopefully it doesn't have the same issue. Was it because you went like 'off roading' on some rough pavement? Anyways thanks !
Camerons Car Reviews Next, my mother would love it if you'd review the 2017 Lexus Rx 350. That's the car she's interested in purchasing. I really do appreciate your videos.
Nice review! We were recently shopping for an crossover SUV and the Mazda was in our short list but decided to go with the Kia Sportage. I think one of the biggest selling points was a panoramic sunroof. It just makes the vehicle feel so much more open and roomy inside. The one thing I really loved about the Mazda was the dial to control the radio/info center. Not having to search for buttons us definitely a welcome addition which I wish the Kia had. All in all, pretty happy with the Kia.
Have you heard the reports or rumors of Mazda introducing a 7 seater version later this year? The seats will probably be useless but the extra cargo space would be primo.
Sure, the new 2017 Mazda CX-5 doesn't look all that different from the 2016.5 model that my mom has, but what's wrong with that? It was already the best looking & driving compact crossover out there, but they made it better where it really counts.
I'm interested in getting one of these but at the same time I want the mazda3. Both are very similar but one has the better HUD and more space, but I also want to modify a few things here and there too
When you are at the rear of the vehicle with the lift gate open, you pull the handles located right there in the rear cargo section to lower the rear seats.
I thought the same thing until I saw it in person. While it's not the biggest screen it is super high resolution and when sitting in the driver's position it is in a nice area. I especially like how smooth it operates compared to the Honda system.
Thanks for answer! What a shame, even HR-V has auto dimming side mirrors and about LED turn lights, I really like the idea where the same LED light is used for daytime running light and turn light (by changing the color) like in some new German cars. Another missing feature from those "cool ones" is opening tailgate with foot movement and no one even mentioned this in all reviews I watched. Everyone is excited about power tailgate while in other new cars they are one step ahead.
Fernando Bustos-Escobar Hey Fernando! The CX-5 comes with heated rear seats in a package that you can get on the Grand Touring models which is the Premium Package. There is also many more features as well such as a heated steering wheel and active driving display with road sign information.
Don't like the front end with protruding hood lip. Also hate the info screen on top of the dash. They should have left it where it was. Deal breaker. The 2016 model looks much better.
make your request known to god from this day forward I refuse to even give input my request never mattered before why think it would start now lord god forgive me please no ones ignorant it was a mistake on my part I'm done thank you very much for listening all done ds
I saw one of these on the road at night and I was stunned on how amazing it looked. Absolutely beautiful car!!
Best looking CUV for 2017 Hands Down!
Gary Star
Don't they have any Hyundai (Tucson) dealers, where you live?
Of course!
The 2017 CX5 is selling like hot cakes, as well as the 2017 CRV Touring...Rav4 sales are down, although they have a soled reputation

Like a CX3 just hit puberty. Very nice looking vehicle!
Mazda is actually ranked higher in reliability than Honda currently.
Cory Morgan really? I heard jdpower gave it below average...

Awesome!! I'm so happy that you reviewed this. I've been waiting for this video for a long time. Thank you!!
You're very welcome Armari!

I love my Mazda CX-5....There's nothing quite like a front styling that looks angry, menacing, and sinister ...😉
LOVE THIS SUV!!!
Holy shit, well done Mazda 👏🏻
Great video man! Really well put together. Glad you got to check out this gorgeous new SUV. It's one of my favorites!

Fun With The Bugs Excellent choice! Enjoy that new Kia! :-)

Why didn't you buy a high end Tucson, with the turbo, and 7 speed DCT?...I DO love the new Sportage front end, though.
Have you heard the reports or rumors of Mazda introducing a 7 seater version later this year? The seats will probably be useless but the extra cargo space would be primo.
I have not actually, I don't think there is really a need for it in their model lineup. That's what the CX-9 is for.
Sure, the new 2017 Mazda CX-5 doesn't look all that different from the 2016.5 model that my mom has, but what's wrong with that? It was already the best looking & driving compact crossover out there, but they made it better where it really counts.
landyachtfan79 Best looking and driving compact crossover in 2017? lol did they stop selling CR-Vs or what?!
no
Put a turbo on that thing if you think it doesn't have enough power theirs plenty of room In the engine bay.
Omg if this had the 2.5 Turbo from the CX9.. I'd buy in a heartbeat.
W-_-T you are absolutely right
Amazing!!
Next year Mazda might introduce the turbo like the CX9, I'll be looking forward to it. More cargo space maybe.
Got a 2017 cx5 with 6 speed manual. They didn’t ditch it.
Too bad about the engine options. a little more beef would be nice. I will say the new crv did impress me with its interior and it has a turbo 4.
CRV has a CVT instead of a real transmission like the Mazda.
don't let Honda turbo fool you its the same power ratio as the N/A 2.5L mazda, and needless to say the mazda engine is more reliable
Heard that Apple car play and Android Auto will be an option soon as a retrofit to the current vehicles.
I'm interested in getting one of these but at the same time I want the mazda3. Both are very similar but one has the better HUD and more space, but I also want to modify a few things here and there too

A Man That is correct!
Like 99% of this car. Just the screen looks small and awkwardly positioned.
looks small compared to the competition and will strain my eyes...they should have made it wider instead of squeezing it in the middle
I thought the same thing until I saw it in person. While it's not the biggest screen it is super high resolution and when sitting in the driver's position it is in a nice area. I especially like how smooth it operates compared to the Honda system.
Cory Morgan I saw it in person today....it's awesome :D
Apple CarPlay is supposedly coming in a software update in the next couple of months or so
Very beautiful 2018 Hyundai Tucson limited
My mom loves this car!
Do you know if turn lights inside front and rear lamps are also in LED technology? Does it have auto dimming side mirrors just like the rear mirror?
No, the turn lights aren't LED technology. Only Headlights, daytime running lights, and brake lights are. Side mirrors aren't auto dimming either.
Thanks for answer! What a shame, even HR-V has auto dimming side mirrors and about LED turn lights, I really like the idea where the same LED light is used for daytime running light and turn light (by changing the color) like in some new German cars.

Really like this!!!
so is it a midsize crossover or what because the cx 3 is also a compact one
The CX-3 is a subcompact
are they gonna add apple carplay and android outo later???
Possibly
2020
Does this vehicle have AWD?
Still miss the old 929
Maybe it will take some getting use to, but the headlights and the wheels are ugly compared to the 2016 model.. not sure what they were thinking
why wont they splurge the extra 50 cents and have led turns?
mulleygraves lool
A whole 18min and you don't even walk around it ??
I think the gt got the gps already
How is the Bose sound system?
It’s awesome
Pretty good. I prefer to turn up the bass AND the treble to max and it surprisingly doesn't sound drowned out or messy
I thought the grand touring comes equipped with heated rear seats? I didn't see controls on the rear armrest.

Camerons Car Reviews chicadasiva
For some reason I LOOOOOVVVVEEE power tailgate ....lol
Do a review on 2017 Land Rover Range Rover autobiography
Don't like the front end with protruding hood lip. Also hate the info screen on top of the dash. They should have left it where it was. Deal breaker. The 2016 model looks much better.
beaitiful,only need put a turbo engine
why I don't see memory seat here? grand touring should have them I guess?
Roy Park The buttons are on the seat itself not the door.
Pls do a Cx9
He already did
Brian Rosado oh, thanks
Took me a while to find the differences. The interior looks exactly like the last generation.
Review a 2017 Ford Fusion
Am una.
Noua din fabrica.
if only it was AWD I would have considered the buy. FWD kills any transmission.
They make them awd
Ya it is awd
lol "enthusiasts" like manual transmissions...good thing ferrari, lambo, and every other super car is automatic...
Love and hip hop
eight pass angers
The cons are so untrue.. wait for the diesel engine... it is not even turbo and 180bhp / 420nm torque
How are wheels ever offensive lol
I think he meant to say aggressive lol
The wheels on the sport and touring trims are a let down. ugly and dont fit the car
mtlh05 well when you buy one change the rims.
turn off the music when you speak very annoying
remove car adds kids not interested
Second
the dash sucks, nice looking car overall.
I Just bought one from online site. l got raped but l want this and every thing is way over priced LGB
make your request known to god from this day forward I refuse to even give input my request never mattered before why think it would start now lord god forgive me please no ones ignorant it was a mistake on my part I'm done thank you very much for listening all done ds
Just another boring, gutless, middle of the road shopping trolley. Yaaahwn.
CRV way better than this
Surely you jest.
i hate mazdas
Zach Cook Why ?
lol
