I have to say that with those snowy mountains in the background, you sure do live in a beautiful & scenic city 👌🏼
These were the two cars I narrowed down to, after exhaustive research and test drives. The Pilot has the smoother ride, softer steering, and looser handling. It has a very basic interior, very utilitarian. It gets subpar gas mileage. The CX-90 has the sportier ride, albeit the transmission can be jumpy. It also has better handling and heavier steering, but a far firmer ride as a result, particularly on 21" wheels. It gets much better fuel efficiency but provides a hair less space. Its interior feels far more premium.
The biggest deciding factor for me was that Mazda acrually has inventory and Honda does not at the moment, so I was able to find the exact CX-90 color combination and trim I wanted, negotiated the price down, and financed at 0.9%. None of that wouldve been possible with the Pilot.
BTW, regarding the discussion of touchscreen in a different comment on this video, it boggles my mind that people bang on piano black plastic in high-touch areas but then want a fingerprint-laden touchscreen smack dab in the middle of their dash. The Mazda dial is remarkably effective now rhat I've learned it, and my display looks great and fingerprinr-free without constant cleaning.
I own a CX90 PHEV Premium Plus, but I just had a Mazda CX90 with the base inline 6. That engine really hauls. 0-60 and 1/4 mile my PHEV is quicker. But if you are doing highway speeds and you step on it the inline 6 kills the PHEV.
I feel the PHEV is a little more refined and quieter to me, but you can’t go wrong with the Mazda. Also, the price for inline 6 models have gone down. That model that Ben is reviewing has a MSRP that is less than $51,000.000 now!
Mazda reduced the prices last week, now the highest trim "Premium Plus" is $49k, "Premium" trim is now $46k. Also CX-90 is offered with 0.9% financing. Great value for money.
If that’s true, I’ll be kicking down the door of my local dealership 😆
@@winstondeocampo699 Top trim here in Canada is also getting around 5% of discount. Interest rate is still high though.
Yeah they lowered it because it's not selling it's fugly as hell
@@robertblack6630 exterior I agree, but I really like that interior, especially in white 😂
anyone can look up the sales numbers, for a model that was intended to be different from the start and from a small brand it's selling well, Mazda is gaining market share and increasing their sales numbers with CX-90@@robertblack6630
Long time Honda guy, but next car is a Mazda!! Honda ain’t what they used to be
They sat on their laurels for 3 too many years imo
I found that the hard way by buying a 24 Pilot Elite after also having issues with my new Acura. In my opinion, Honda’s customer service is also horrible.
You bought 2 brand new cars? Yeah right
Agreed, me too
@@wallbangerzsports: Yeah, because no one ever buys 2 new cars, right?
Mazda for me the cx90 is a BMW Lexus hybrid the best of both worlds.
Mazda of corse❤
zoom-zoom
Long time Honda guy😀
The mountain looks gorgeous...
It’s in the video, Einstein
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee Good point
You have to look at the video in depth cx90 car care nut. Very informative
Don't keep it past the warranty. Engine has to be removed for simple repairs.
@@user-nr2ch9pp2g I agree but I do keep my vehicle for a while especially with the price of it now.
Mazda cx-90 is like luxury suv. The materials and craftsmanship are a top-quality . The drive is like a little stiffer. The handling is comparable to BMW . Besides, it is made in Japan in a state of art brand new facility . Mazda all day long.
If you need maximum 3rd row size, and you don’t care about sluggish performance + poor real world fuel economy the Honda is absolutely for you, plus the engine is longer in the tooth so likely to be bulletproof.
The Mazda is the clear winner in every other way.
Chevy traverse have more
@@curiosityredpill7030the Traverse has an industry trailing 3.6L V6, an unreliable transmission, and uses the cheapest interior appointments in the segment. Its what you buy when you can’t afford Japanese
Pilot for practicality and cx 90 if you wanna look cool
And be faster, handle better, get better fuel economy, etc
And be geigher
After 260,000 on my Honda Odessey, it's getting time for a new vehicle. I have been narrowing down for my next car between these and the Buick Enclave. Historically, I love the feel of driving Mazda and it is a better value which is importNt to me. For mentheir flaw is the lack of comfort features such as cup holders in door packets that fit decent sized cups. The console feels bulky and pratically useless. Big difference from what I am used to.
The drive of the pilot has improved and the 2024 seat fits me better (5'2") than prior models. The interior cup holders and space will likely makenitna win for me but the supply has been limited and the price too high in comparision. The gas mielage will be a shocker compared to my minivan which offers more space, etc..
So how much would a similar equipped MDX set you back. It is 50k we are talking about.
Similarly equipped MDX to the Mazda is $64,000.00, the Advance model.
I love my Mazda CX-90!!
Is the cx90 a interference engine like the pilot?
I love the monza look good
I like the Monza too
Dashboard miror to miror back seat right off the bat you wouldn’t touch any of these cars
The new mazdas are beautiful. Not to mention, the only vehicle i know of that still offers an inline 6 AND it's turboed. It's hard to compete with that engine platform. Interior is way better. Styling is way better. I don't think there's much competition here.
I've owned and loved many hondas over the years, but their styling and marketing are ridiculous these days. The whole HPD package thing is such a joke. Wow, i get gold wheels and decals to make my not truck look like a truck...? No stop. I mean, ridglines are sweet and more than enough truck for city dwellers (i tested one before i bought my frontier and really liked it), but it's just silly. Honda is capable of much more they're just money grabbing now.
Choosing Mazda: 1. Driving Dynamics, 2. Material/Cabin built-quality, 3. Rivaling luxury vehicles' caliber; Choosing Honda: 1. Practicality, 2. Reliability, 3. Long Term cost of ownership.
Mazda
Honda because I don't want a turbo engine
Too loaded !! Exl or lower!! Hate moonroofs!
Moonroofs are THE BEST you are a grumpy old FOOL
The Mazda cx-90 has fake engine noise and doesn't sound as good as the Honda pilot.
You are a dumbass if you believe that.
Mazda CX 90 - if you want to get it towed every week.
lol, bought one of the first 100 sold in the US and have already put 20k miles on it… it has been towed 0 (zero) times and drove for 26 consecutive hours with only one stop besides gas. So come again?
Nonsense, I have had mazda cars....never an issue with one of them.
Honda all day folks. Mazda has in the auto industry the (WORST) infotainment system with that outdated rotary knob in 2024, Touchscreen needed......
I love its infotainment system, simple, clean, unobtrusive. The dial is unironically my favorite part of the controls. ALL touchscreens suck and distract the driver. Predictable, repeatable, and tactile controls are the best for driver focus. There’s a reason that aircraft controls aren’t touchscreen based.
The ONLY things the Honda has going for it is a larger 3rd row and a more well proven powertrain. It’s a loser in every other objective metric.
@@TheDiameter All the Big 3 Japanese automakers have touchscreen infotainment Honda, Toyota, Nissan only Mazda without. So with your logic the automakers who have touchscreen dont care about their consumers safety, thats nonsense. Just admit you have a lame and outdated infotainment system in your Mazda......
I'm not buying just for infotainment.. And you shouldn't either. You're not living in your vehicle. Or maybe you are..
@@johndale8614 Nowadays auto consumers want a touchscreen infotainment, i can only assume your still using a flip cellphone?
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8That’s the dumbest apples to oranges comparison you could possibly make, and it only served to undermine your already baseless claim.
