The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah, that's cool."

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly press vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, it's pretty nuts. Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later!
"They make fun cars, that your wife can drive." My wife gave me a LOOK when she heard that! 😂
Am I the only one that loves the scroll wheel for the infotainment? I have a Golf R (touchscreen) and the gf has a CX-5, but I prefer her infotainment much more, and she even has the '17 without ACP/AA installed. I actually find the wheel less distracting and enjoy the tactile feel you just can't get from a touch screen. I think in practice and living with it, it starts to become very natural, especially since it frees up the touchscreen to be higher up and right in your line of sight, rather than having to look down and reach over to non-physical "buttons" on the screen. Plus, no nasty fingerprints all over it. I am 1000% biased here, but if that's the only thing keeping your fiance from buying it, just pull the trigger. The way this chassis handles is outstanding for a crossover, yet no tradeoff in harshness or punishment. It's not a perfect vehicle, but even with the non-turbo engine, it's such a great package as a whole.
Nahh I love the scroll wheel. The clicks are so satisfying, the response is so instant on screen.
100% love the wheel or wheel like design. It took a day or two to figure it out. It is so easy to use while driving that I couldn't do on touch screen. And yes, it took a little longer to load everything in the morning but no deal breaker. BOSE system is great for this price range unless anyone needs to shake and wake the neighbours..!
@@mamba109 100% agreed
Kevin Andrew scroll wheel is a godsend when scrolling through a thousand music tracks.
Scroll Wheel All Day !
I bought a Mazda CX-5 Signature 2019 about a month and a half ago. Very quiet cabin and feel pretty cozy.
You definitely need the turbo engine especially when you have a full load of passengers.
Very happy with the vehicle.
Wish all prosperous life and happiness with your new car
How's the mpgs and does it require 91 octane?
How is the reliability
I know the look and sound of those crappy Michigan roads anywhere! On the bright side, it's an excellent test for ride comfort. I think Mazda is doing A LOT of things right with their cars. The design, material quality and fit and finish seems remarkable for the price point. I just recently test drove a Jaguar F-Pace with my wife and the interior quality (and driving experience) was embarrassing for what they're asking. The Volvo X60 we tested prior might as well been a Bentley compared to the F-Pace. I told the salesman as such and he agreed that 'you buy this for the badge and not much else'. That experience drove my heart ever nearer to seeing what Mazda has to offer in person. I'm looking forward to test driving a CX5 this week!
Kia and Mazda are the best cars to buy at the moment for the best buck 👍 Lexus ES if you have some play money left but otherwise I wouldn't even consider another brands
Yeah dude I'm late to respond but save your money haha.
The best about mazda never use suck cvt transmission.thumb up for mazda
shadowsong song yeah this is the reason I’m looking at them the wife wanted to CRV or a rogue but they both have CVT’s no thanks
“The front camera looks like it’s being filmed with a potato...” 😂😂😂 I don’t know why but that line really tickled me, and gained you a new subscriber. Good work!!
Nicest start up chime in the auto industry
Got mine 3 days ago and I love it
The blind-spot monitoring system's trigger distance can be adjusted. (You can on my wife's 2016.5 CX-5. I assume it's the same in this one.)
As soon as you pointed out the pinging of the injectors, its all I could hear for the rest of the video
I got this as my rental on Christmas, and it was absolutely breath taking.
We have the 2018 same model AWD 2.2 Diesel here in New Zealand . Only three months old. The torque it delivers courtesy of the twin turbo system pushes you back in the seat at low rpm's and just pushes you up any hill with no drama, just a big shove. We had the earlier version we bought in 2013, same motor but the power has increased from 129kw and 420 nm of torque to 140 and 450 . 6 years now of CX5 ownership, we'll never move from Mazda
What hefty maintenance should I look for in diesel cx 5? Thinking about buying it but dunno anything about taking care a diesel one here in states
Yeah, the cameras are bad, but we used to drive without them....and to me, the drive is what’s important. Mazda is about the drive.
just got 2 of these months ago in black CX5 GT turbo and love it every time we go for drive . my cars before were AUDIs S3 , recent models but had so many problems with them and so expensive to maintain on road costs and services that i have decided to change over to somethin differen this time and must say that this CX5 took me by the suprise , thx for the video reviev, im still learnig the car , u know all the beeps and whistels , geetings from Melbourne and happy driving :-)))))))))))
I bought a 2019 CX 5 GT Reserve in "Soul Red" for US $34,050 in Henderson, NV and sold my 2013 Toyota Prius v wagon for $12,000. cash.. This car has everything I want in a compact SUV except better gas mileage.
UPGRADE MODS:
1. 255/55/R19 all season tires (when the OEM tires wear out)
2. Dynamite acoustic mats inside the front wheel wells and front floor.
3. I installeda K&N filter for possibly more power with the better air intake flow.
Also I tried a tankful of pure 100 octane and WOW! It feels like its always in SPORT gearing and when IN Sport it is QUICK. In that mode with this "super gas" I spanked a VOLVO XC 40 that tries to race me. Ah, teaching humility to the "entitled".
I'm assuming this car has iridium spark plugs. If not I'll install them for another 8 - 10 horsepower. (Yes, it's true gentle readers.)
i have a 2019 CX-5 GT. how are those wider tires treating you? i've always been curious to get wider tires. do they fit the well without touching during sharp turns? and ride quality? i expect better and sharper handling!
I haven't got the 245/50/19 tires yer B/C as of August, '20 2020, I have only 7,440 miles on it. :o( But they are the SAME circumference so the fit is perfect. 245 takes me up two widths so it has to be better for handling. Tires can make more difference in handing than any other single upgrade.
The best looking and driving SUV in its class.
Best handling compact SUV there is out there right now. I have the CX-9 which needs the turbo but if I were going to get the newer CX-5 I'd probably just get the N/A version. I had the 2016 CX-5 and I thought the engine was plenty if not a little loud.
Thanks, for your POV reviews. I'm a subscriber, a long time Mazda owner and have owned a top of the line Soul Red 2019 CX-5 Signature for about 3 months. I have to agree with most of your review. Overall I love my new CX-5. I traded in my old 2007 Mazda 6i 5-door on it. Loved my old built in Flat Rock, trouble free car, but had my eye on the new 2019 models.
I was looking for a new 19" wheel design and the brown Nappa leather interior. The Turbo is a plus.
I only have a couple issues. I wish the brown leather was a little lighter like s saddle leather color, and (as an older man of 65) that a CD player was still offered. Also. the gas mileage could be a bit better. My wife has a 2015 CX-5 non-turbo and you can really feel the extra power of the turbo. She get about 22 MPG in the city and breaks 30 MPG on the interstate. I'm getting so far about 21-22 MPG. Overall it's a great car. If it was a little cheaper at say, just under $35,000, it would be a real bargain.
BTW, I live on the east side of the Detroit area. The city streets and roads over here are worse.
Thanks again for the great reviews.
I have a newly purchased Signature and now have 1200 miles on it. I'm getting 24 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. I set the cruise control to 63 mph and drove 50 miles. I wish it had a cd player as transferring music to a thumb drive is time consuming. I like the car very much, but I don't understand why the whole steering wheel is not heated. Also, the padding on the side of the center console is too thick and forces my knee to the left. I'd like to cut that excessive padding off and put something thinner there. Or why couldn't they have made the center console a bit thinner so this knee issue would not exist?
Yeesh, yes that part of Haggerty towards 5 mile is brutal!
I think the reason the engine revs 5-5.5k rpm is that Mazda designed the engine for response and torque delivery, the small turbo spools so fast that it will loose steam past 5k, from horsepower/torque charts from automobile catalog, after the engine makes its peak torque at 2k rpm it will start to fall off, like a Diesel engine
I wonder if he's running it on 87 or 93 octane gas
I have to disagree with the camera.
It’s by far my favorite out of any I’ve used. Not having the trajectory lines really helps lower the amount of crap you’re paying attention to, in my opinion.
Your camera makes all the profile shots look short and stubby. Really distorts the image.
Very excited for 2020 model. With the new info on the 3 so excited for them to instill that in this and the cx-9
I went to the dealer with every intention to purchase the CX5 Signature. The thing that killed it for me was at 6 feet I just felt cramped in it. Not enough cargo space and cubbies. The console lid is so far back I had nowhere to put my elbow. I ended up with a 2019 Santa Fe Ultimate 2.0 which isn't as sporty but didn't have those issues. Santa Fe also had more equipment and that pano sunroof which brightened up the interior. If you are small the CX5 may fit better but for me it just came up short. Hopefully the redesign will fill these issues.
Im 6.3 and I fit pretty well, you need o adjust the seats
A couple minutes in and I realized where you were driving in Michigan. It's funny to know exactly what roads you're on. I'm trying to relate my 2016.5 CX-5 with the new one. The video helps as a decent comparison. Thanks!
My first manual was a Miata but I wouldn’t mind at all having a new Mazda.
This is a beautiful car and this design can last for another 8 years and still the best looking SUV out there. The only thing I want Mazda to do in the next iteration is the space and the camera/infotainment system, it needs to upgrade it. If they make this more spacious( a bit longer and wider) this will be the most attractive compact SUV in this segment. I love this car specially the soul red crystal it looks stunning.🏎 🏎 🏎 👏 👏
I bought a 2020 GT, and Im really, really enjoying the performance it has on the road for a SUV.
This car is more biased to be a sport/performance than it is to a comfort/relaxing drive.
I say this because I spend 3 hours commuting with my CX-5 everyday and I complain about how hard the seats are (specially for the head) and the small space it has to rest your right arm.
But besides that, if will be comfortable enough and has performance enough to be a very enjoyable mix of both.
I love to floor gas it when overtaking. And its fun to see other SUV`s and sedans trying to catch up, unsuccessfully.
Best Review I've seen on this car
Love that interior!
Nice, man. Thanks for the content. Keep us updated hahaha.
Thanks for the video! Before I even saw the road signs, I was thinking "wow, those roads look crappy like in Detroit!" haha!
Personally for me, real "POV Final Thoughts" come after 5 years of ownership.
Energetic Fox Studios waiting on your video. Let us know.
I do appreciate the regular automatic! Don’t give in Mazda. Cvt blow cods!
It shifts at 5.5k is because its peak power is between 4k and 5k, and shifting a 5.5k drops you to just under 4k, which keeps you always in that range while maintaining a proper ratio between gears. I am sure they picked the precise shift points for maximum acceleration based on the number of gears they had to work with. They could probably keep you in that meatier section longer with an 8+speed, but this transmission is really good (supposedly, my mazda 6 is a manual, so I actually havent driven the auto) and the thing is quick so who cares!
This is my favorite car in this segment. The ride is pretty amazing on those roads for 19 inch wheels. Also, holy shit are those roads bad, it hurts me just to watch the poor car go over that. I live in Eastern Europe but our roads aren't quite as bad right now, although come pretty close after a long winter of salty roads. My favorite is the interior. It's absolutely gorgeous compared to other modern cars, IMO.
We have 2013, 2015, and 2018 Mazda CX-5s (for my wife, our daughter, and for me). The 2013 has the 2.0 liter engine- better gas mileage but less power than the 2.5 liter in the other 2. The 2018 rides smoother and has a better looking interior. The one with 17 inch wheels has cheaper tire prices. The other 2 have 20 inch wheels. We like the Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires a lot better than the original tires- the original tires only lasted about 35,000 miles. I also test drove a CR-V and a Crosstrek. I only liked the digital speedometer and extra luggage space for the CR-V, and everything else was worse. The Crosstrek brakes felt better, but the steering was a lot more numb, you sit lower, and it has less luggage space for less money. I did not test drive the Forester or the Sportage- too ugly for me, and the bottom of the Sportage windshield seems too tall. The Tucson was too unreliable based on Consumer Reports magazine owners survey results. The Tucson that we test drove earlier seemed average for everything. We test drove the Outlander and Outlander Sport and they were slow, with a low quality suspension. The RAV4 was uglier and did not drive as well as the CX-5, but the reliability is probably very good, with more luggage space than a CX-5.
2020 version should solve most of the problems with infotainment/camera. Mazda 3 has everything done right.
hope the 2020 version has a turbo :/ and not the skyactivx engine.
Really should. However they STILL NEED TO FIX THE PAINT lol. My wife's Mazda 3 can't take anything the paint maybe beautiful but it is way too fragile for Canadian weather.
Camera sucks for the US Signature version ( surround view) . We simply don't even get it in Canada but for a cheaper price overall though.
@@dvgd999 , X is going to be a premium option.
I have the 2020 CX-5 Signature. I think this is a good review of it as well. I replaced my 2011 269 hp RAV-4 with this and have not been disappointed.
I have been easy on the gas pedal and get almost 30 MPG ! I've tried sport mode (not used in the video ) once and it really moves, but my gas mileage paid for it. The surround cameras work great for watching my puppy that has no respect for cars yet. It has 3 rear camera modes, looks like you were on wide angle.
I like the control knob for the infotainment system, but at startup the system does take 5-10 seconds to get up and running.
I love Mazda.. Especially the new Mazda 6 👍👍👍
Such a nice looking suv. I got a friend that bought a white one with those same rims. Very nice.
The camera looks no worse than my 2011 legacy's and I have never had issues seeing what is needed to see.
You have to make sure you have the premium fuel in order to feel the true power...
It will make no difference in regular (auto mode) driving. Source: Mazda.
Michael S not true, it has 227 with 87 ocfance and 250 with premium
@@alecw7063 , I trusted Mazda engineer (here on YT, but no, I don't have a link) who made it very clear that the extra power comes at the top of the RPM range. Various videos show that in auto mode, the transmission shifts at 4500 RPM (with aggressive driving). You can shift manually at 6000 rpm, but how many people will actually do that? Results: extra engine wear plus poor gas mileage.
Michael S well I’d figure if you were putting premium in this anyone you would be trying to milk all the power out of it and be manually shifting, if not no sense of putting premium In
It's either this or the WRX, and the wife wants this. Thank goodness they put in a 250 HP engine this year, softens the blow big time. 😁
Subarus are junk
For a family car, I'd take this.
Can't compare the CX5 is much nicer. Tons of torque! Not quite as much fun but the wife will love it. Happy wife happy life
@@hamerplayer1229 so true LOL
Wrx isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Just traded my 2017 in for a 2019 Santa Fe ultimate. Drove like shit.
you should've tried using sport mode and manual mode to go in higher revs
I took two road trips from Miami to Orlando then Miami to Atlanta in the 2019 cx5 and man I love it. I love the safety features the car has. And how it brakes by itself and stays in the lane. So awesome. And the interior way better then my other car the 2013 accord. Feels so premium inside. I don’t have the turbo Version but I bet the power is even better!
Oh yea I only wish the gas tank was bigger because I hate having two put gas so damn frequently lol
Thank you for the review. How does it compare to the Mazda 6 with the same engine?
Is the sport mode switch not working on this car?
What camera did you use to record this, and how mounted. I love this first person view, like from a computer game :)
What did you think of the steering feel? I thought it was quite hefty, similar to Hondas. Good on highway cruises but a pain in slower, smaller spaces like parking lots
Already lighter than my last 2015 CX5 so now I can one hand crank while parking in tight spots. Maybe you'd prefer my old 1976 Impala two finger steering that floats the boat in the parking spot in the city.
That road isn't anything lol! Ever drive down baldwin road before they fixed it?
Please try 2.5T with 36psi and 91 or 93 octane, that’s the only way to open this dream, trust me.
appreciated your comments on whether the turbo was worth the extra $$$ at about 13:00. just what I was looking for because I skipped it given the added cost and extra gas money. decided to go cx5 while I wait for the new mazda3 to get a turbo on its awd. cheers
Maybe a strange question, does this come even close to the Macan regarding the ride quality, handling, interior?
We have a 2017 CX-5 GT. I keep thinking I may trade it in in several months for a Signature (Turbo). Then I think, the fuel tank is too small, the gas mileage is poorer, and the price is high. I might as well get an Acura RDX A-Spec at that point....and that's the issue I fear. I was dying for the Turbo, and then I thought about the price and what else is available!
I totally agree with that man. Cx5 gt is more budget friendly. I understand that the turbo is great but I guess its not as competitive as GT at it's price range
Yeah man wait a couple years until it becomes standard. I LOVE my 16 cx5 with the NA engine. Still good power (and faster than the 17 and 18 cx5s) with better fuel economy. Won't be upgrading until something really substantial comes along.
re: rpm not going past 5500rpm (it would change just shy of this for me), I've asked Mazda Canada about it, and they replied it's tuned to give optimal balance of power/fuel economy.. Hmm.. but it's designed for the "Driver". I didn't check if it forces you to shift if full throttle in manual shift mode. Did you double check that ? I do find the ride is more than just a bit stiff w/larger wheels. I'd force dealer to put 18 or 17's on it. or switch myself, for the more comfort ride. It's on my short list w/equinox/outback.
BTW, with the vent shapes, brown Nappa seat color and LED circles around the headlights you can see MAZDA was going for BMW touches in the CX 5.
jus' sayin'...
300 miles per tank is very disappointing
I think it needs a bigger fuel tank find it annoying also on my 3 series get about 350 on full tank
Check the list of car brands that are reliable and see what your brands at. Mazda is top 2
You're getting 300 miles per tank if you drive spiritdly. Mazda made the engine and torque curve for how "normal" people drive meaning if you don't have a heavy foot, you will get great mpg.
Hmm, did you try it with sport mode ? It might actually see the red line when it shifts.
No need for the redline with the stock tune the engine start to die over 5k
It holds RPM in a "manual mode."!
I have a 16 cx5 awd gt. I want to trade it in for the turbo model. Cons that I have found with the 16 is the windshield rattle.
Lack of a/c vents for the back seat
The paint scratches way to easy
Rear bumper scratches if loading the trunk with wood etc
The computer delay with heavy throttle from a stop or slow speeds
Everything else is great. I love the suspension. Really thinking about getting the turbo model though.
Good reveiw
Shifts before redline to keep you in the meat of your torque. The torque drops pretty quickly at 5000rpm so the tranny is forcing the upshift.
On another note. The induction noise seems pretty strong. Is it artificially piped in? That doesn't seem like Mazda to do that, but never know.
About knobs and buttons, this retired, aging baby boomer likes the oversized knobs and buttons on my 2017 Camry. I know that "enthusiasts" scorn it, but I think the Camry makes a great daily driver. (And the MSRP on the LE is only $23,070.) BTW, "Topher", the last few seconds of this video w/ the headphones on it sounded like that truck was coming through my living room.
I agree. We have a 2017 Camry XSE with the 4 cylinder. This was the best car I could find for under $30K. We actually bought ours new for under $24,000. Ours came with the Alcantara suede insert heated seats, automatic headlights, JBL stereo, wireless phone charger, rear AC vents, LED running lights and 18 inch rims. No sunroof which is just fine since we like the headroom. Amazingly nice car especially for the price. Feels and drives a lot like a Lexus if perhaps not quite as quiet. The doors close with a nice solid "thunk". Fairly quick for a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder. Decent gas mileage. Average around 29 mpg. I agree on the oversized knobs and buttons on the stereo. They are just easy to use and on the 2017 the knobs feel premium like those on a home receiver. Good quality sound. No struggling at all to use the infotainment. It boots right away and just works all the time.
@@tntmyth Hi Gary, I have been driving for about 50 years. I have had several cars over that time. First car was a 1967 Chevy Chevelle Malibu, last before the Camry was a 2001 PT Cruiser. The Camry is by far the best. Ride and build quality are superb. The "enthusiasts" can keep their "performance" cars!
2019 mazda 3 next!!!🤓
Joseph Espinal 😁👍🏼
I know of a road in MN that would like to have a word with you. Great review!
I know of several roads in MN that would be a great ride test. Especially in pothole season!
Lots of roads in MPLS
Lmao our roads in MN are only nice the first summer they are paved.
After driving both, what do you think of the Mazda CX-5 vs the VW Alltrack you drove last year? You mentioned you and your wife are looking to replace your current SUV. Have you made a decision on what to get? Are either one of these on the short list?
We have both and I definitely like the all track more. It's better to me in everyway. Way more trunk space. Quieter inside. And I like the infotainment more.
Chase Short. Do you have the stick shift or DSG? I was thinking to get the Alltrack S trim to avoid rhe panoramic sunroof as alot of people on the VW forums are reporting leaks.
@@tntmyth I have the DSG and the S package. I didn't want the sunroof, and the S package comes with plenty of things, at least enough for me.
I am 6 ft 3 in. The alltrack is cramped. No one can sit behind me when I am driving. However, the alltrack is also very nice vehicle
Odd the reverse camera looks like that.. my 2017 mazda6 has a great camera imo
agreed my 17 cx5 camera is fine. its not amazing but its pretty clear.
We have a CX5 with the normal reverse camera and it looks fine, at the dealership i checked out a 360 one and it does suck badly. No idea why!
Dude mind doing one for the NEW VW Tiguan ?
The price point seems quite high
Could you get it to oversteer at all? Or is it understeery when you push it
those lovely Michigan roads. 10 mile and Novi. Brutal. So gray in the winter.
Grey.
You still have sport mode if you whant to rev it
You get a quality vehicle for a great price. And I driven Audi’s, BMW, and Mercedes.
It's a Audi copy but not the price. You can clearly see what Mazda is doing and Audi is the car they look up to. Oh, it looks mostly better than some Audi's but I love the e-tron GT though !
I tried a tank of 100 octane gas (8.00/gal.) in my GT Reserve (2.5 l. turbo) and WOW! It gets at least another 10 HP. Now I use about 70% 91 octane gas and 30% 100 octane and you can STILL feel the difference in performance. I spank A3 Audi SUVs and the small Volvo SUVs.
"MY PRECIOUS" also has a K&N drop in air filter and when the OEM 225/55/19 tires wear out it gets a set of 245/50/19 treads for better handling.
Other than the status name WHY should you buy a Range Rover EVOQ when you could have a MAZDA CX 5 Signature or GT Reserve? The Mazda CX 5 turbos have: 1.)-> more speed 2.)-> "MUCH BETTER THAN AVERAGE" reliability (Consumer Reports) v.s. The EVOQ "MUCH WORSE THAN AVERAGE" reliability. 3.)-> great styling and - wait for it - 4.)-> HALF the price!
Can you fit a surfboard in this??
Hi! What about the seats? I'm doing a lot of 500km + trips. Are they comfortable?
What's that indication light that is ALWAYS ON in the middle of the console area, right below the main air vents?
If that “buzzing” is the injector noise you’re talking about, that’s most definitely not normal. Never heard that sound before in this engine
I'm currently trying to decide between buying a 2018 XT or 2019 CX-5 Turbo. I've done heaps of research and I'm still not certain what I'll get. I want a SUV that's fun to drive and has a sporty feel with good acceleration but I also want the ability to drive some sketchy fire roads and moderate off road trails. I love the Subaru for the off-road capability and inspiring brand with the rally history and adventurous nature. However I love the upgraded tech in the 2019 CX-5, nicer interior styling and also the automatic transmission. Such a shame the new Forester has no turbo because the CX-5 unfortunately looks less adventurous and more of a soccer-mom car compared to the Subaru. Also a shame Subaru has CVT…
Beautiful..
Will an oil catch can be a good mod for this car? I have the non-turbo so I am unsure.
Is that much fuel injector noise normal? It sounds pretty loud.
Shifts at 5500 RPM most likely to meet fuel economy figures. I bet it can be tuned to redline higher. Might upset the go green dopes though.
360p club right here!
Damn how long does it take to get HD?
What's up with the RPM at 7:12?
Is there a way to make it more rear drive oriented?
How well does it handle bumps/potholes especially on turns?
Was thinking about trading my 18 Grand touring in for a turbo might hold off for a minute. You sound like Adam Scott
Yeah I don’t think it’d be worth the trade and the loss you’d take. The CX-5 is awesome in any trim, but the turbo isn’t necessarily more fun or a better vehicle. It’s just quicker for that 10% of the time when you want it.
Is it worth nearly $40k? That's the big question.
I'd say yes, because you are not only getting the power, but also the interior quality, and it's not bad reliability wise, but I would still go for a used one just because it's much cheaper
Yes, in my opinion. It's a premium car in looks in my opinion and the interior seems pretty damn good as well.
yeper
I mean, you're not getting a fully-loaded luxury SUV for that price. Mazda's CX-5 comes close to luxury while offering most of the goodies too - all under $40k.
At that price I might just get a base rdx
Fun cars that your wife can drive? You gotta be kidding.
Is it better than the R line Tiguan if you could let me know as I’m getting one either Cx-5 or R line Tiguan can’t make my mind up
How much did you pay for it I’m looking at a 2020 signature it was wondering what’s a good price for one
He didnt pay for this. Mazda sent this car to him to review for a short period of time.
Looking into getting a small suv. Like the engine and the interior of this Mazda . Wish it has exterior with a little more personality, like Hyundai Kona.
Interesting, wasnt a fan of the Kona. Reminded me of the pontiac Aztec
Nice! Thanks for posting. I wonder how this compares with the 2019 Kia Sportage Turbo model.
Now imagine this same SUV as a plug-in electric with powerful front and rear motors and using POWER instead of braking to help with handling!! Pure SEX!
Thats stupid. Buy A Tesla Model X if you want a shitty EV SUV.
Amanda My Dear, what century are you living in? Pray tell WHY are EV SUV's like the Tesla "shitty"?
Gasoline engines are going to become extinct, and the sooner the better. A fast, quiet EV SUV is what is coming, and all around the world.
Can you please review Nissan Murano , thanks
@flatearthers, you can clearly see that earth has a curvature. End of debate.
Wrong video for that topic
Why the heck does this thing not have paddle shifters?
Great car by Mazda, but i'd probbably wait a year or two, coz i need a lane keeping assistant that actually holds you in your lane, in case i get a sleep while driving, together with the adaptive cruise control and autobrake this would be life saving! I'd also wait untill Skyactiv-X have been in use for a couple of years to insure they're trouble free! And the 360´ camera and autoconnect would laso have improved by then as well!
As I’m watching this video, I received a Hyundai Tucson N notification. 🤔
They should really work on space and visibility, I HATE the visibility on mazdas, windows are so small. When you sit in a VW or Audi you just feel like you are in a much bigger car.
