    I recently bought a CX-5 Carbon for these reasons: a real transmission (no cvt), no turbo, great steering response, tried and true engine design, proven reliability, size just right, no need for roomy back seats, no interest in towing, luxurious interior, just enough tech, very reasonable msrp.

    2) it has a real automatic transmission...not that garbage called CVT
    3) Base model comes with alloy wheels and many options...unlike base Toyota RAV4

    Fun fact: Drive any other cars in competition like Rav4, CR-V, Tucson, Sportage, Rogue and so on. Then sit behind CX-5. Not even Turbo, just N/A engine. None of these competitors come even close to the driving dynamics of Mazda products. Period.

      I love this comment. It speaks to how buyers buy cars based on the good things Brake Bias said - exceptional design and reliability in all areas - that are so true that they render the small measurement data comparisons to other cars like cargo space and mpg practically almost irrelevant especially because the Mazda "feels" like such a superior product. I bought one December 2023. I agree to some of the not-so-great features identified in the video like I am very annoyed by some of the automation that I didn't understand when I bought the car, but I would still buy it over the Honda, Toyota, Ford, Subaru, Chevy, Nissan competitors. They look and feel like a grade below the Mazda CX-5.

    I thought I was going to get 6 real reasons it was deal breaker. Instead, I get complaints about engine power, fuel efficiency, lack of towing, lack of touch screen preference everywhere, lack of space, and prices. I thought it was more serious things like reliability issues - none of those mentioned. We went ahead and bought a 2023 CX-5 slightly used for a $10,000 discount under MSRP (3000 miles on the odometer) and the wife loves it. We even get better gas mileage than stated here, averaging about 25 mpg in mixed driving. The engine can go 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds which means it has the power necessary to merge in all traffic situations (the turbo is 6.5 seconds which no one needs unless they plan to race it).

      People run from CVT's. That's why Honda's aren't selling as many cars as they used to. For example, sales for the Honda Accord are dismal. It's because Honda keeps sticking CVT's in their Accords. Plus, they got rid of the 2.0T and V6's with their bulletproof automatic transmissions and engines.

    My 2024 2.5 S Select non turbo gets 33-34 mpg on the highway and 27-29 city legit. His criticism doesn’t wash in real world driving.
    I don’t see a lot of Rav 4’s, Sportages or CRV’s towing anything around. In fact, I never have. Who cares?
    The cabin is quiet. Drive a CX 5 and then a Rav 4….’nuff said.
    I don’t care about hauling cargo or people around. It has enough space to do the basics. It’s a freakin compact SUV. Fact is, the difference between it and the others is minimal. If you want space, buy a bigger SUV.
    The interior is hands down stylishly luxurious compared to the competition, some of which are out and out clunky.
    Lastly, drive the others and save the CX 5 for last. No comparison in the “fun factor”.

    The turbo has absolutely zero lag, and it has plenty of power with regular gas. You can use high octane gas, but plenty of power with regular gas. Its true it has a bit less storage area, but in the past four years, I have never not had enough space. Millage per gallon is less than the competition, but the power and fun of driving this car is more than the competition. As soon as you get on the on ramp, you are effortlessly and easily propelled to speed. My friend has the Honda CRV. It's fine, but simply boring.

This vehicle is bulletproof the luxuries my carbon edition has compared to its competitors is vast in comparison. Mazdas attention to detail is better than my previous Audi . mazda is crushing the competition highly suggest you check them out ‘the last three years. They have this four-cylinder turbo motor dialed in incredible and believe it or not at 50,000 miles. I’m actually getting better gas mileage than I did when it was brand new.

I've looked at Toyota RAV and comparable to the features I want RAVs are more expensive although they come in some nice colors. Honda CRV just isn't comfortable for me.

    You should be happy, if you do not have touch screen. They have tendency to break and then people have to take monitor apart to cut touch screen cable. I don't have touch screen and completely happy without it. That is just a matter of what you are used to. Towing 2000 lb is perfect. I used to tow my small utility trailer with Acura TL that was rated 1000lb. CX 5 is much better for that job. In other countries people do not drive pickup trucks around, they have utility trailers. Mazda doesn't have a luxury line like Acura or Lexus for other brands. No wonder that top trim Signature is more expensive, that is like buying Lexus instead of Toyota. Signature is really luxurious and feels like Audi Q5 or BMW SUV. Napa leather seats are much nicer that Lexus or BMW seats. Mazda's electronic driver assistance works better than other brands. High/Low beam automatic switch does great job, adaptive cruise control is also great on highways.
    Mazda though could have done better paint job. Clear coat is soft and easily gets damaged.

The interior being rather spartan compared to the x5 is none the less as good or better in finish and quality. The body and exteior are excellent top of the line construction. The leather seats are really comfortable. I hate the no touch screen system. It is slow and unresponsive. Design wise this car is the epitomy of "less is more". Beautiful exterior. Nothing close to it. My daughter has a 2024 Q5. twice the cost of the cx but I wouldn't trade. I understand why mazda commentators are irate. They don't have to be.

    Cx8 has way more space than xtrail,outlander, and kodiaq...although narrower body the second row seat is wider so you can get 3 kid seats across which you cant on xtrail or outlander

    We’ve owned cx-5 select for 2 years, it’s a really fantastic car for the money. It does have less back seat and cargo space, but some of the reasons not to buy it mentioned in this video are bogus. For one, the ‘weak’ 2.5 NA engine is plenty powerful, especially for driving around town. It has ample passing ability on the highway as well 🤷‍♂️. I get 30mpg with roughly 2/3 highway driving. It handles great, especially when compared to its rivals. Some legit downsides are the 6-speed transmission is quirky and the audio sucks. We paid 30k otd for it brand new, so I’m very happy with the purchase.

    Tried a Kia Sportage, because it is plug-in hybrid, AND has more luggage space. The last at least on paper.
    Well, in reality, the CX-5 had almost 100 litres more usable space, and it had no problems fitting the dog cage. The Sportage just couldn't. Also, our new Skoda Enyaq is supposed to swallow more luggage. It just doesn't.
    RAV 4 can't fold the mid rear seat, and has no middle hatch, so it't was no option for us with two child seats and occasional long load (skiis, paddles etc.).
    Believe it or not, but most other cars are less practical than the CX-5 if you actually check, not just read "data". 😅

    He trashes the Turbo for dropping HP from 257 to 227 with regular gas, but my Turbo is plenty responsive on regular gas, and I don't really notice a difference when I use premium gas. The recommended octane is REGULAR and not premium.

    #1 get the turbo engine, the transmission in this vehicles are great ,actually the cvt transmissions are trash (ask Nissan)
    #2 AWD and 27mpg ? Not bad at all.
    #3 most people that are not interested in towing a big load, good enough power for towing a boat or a small trailer
    #4 you can actually use screen mirror,
    #5 mid size SUV?
    #6 just check how reliable is the competition ✌️
    I do not onw one of them , but I have plenty of experience with different different types of vehicles

    My neighbors said I should've gotten a camry because of the milage, which is exactly the same as the Mazda. Guess who's comfortable with that. I don't tow nothing. The Toyota radar cruise control scared the crap out of me, the Mazda is more gradual when a lane opens up.

  • @eddiem488

    I completely understand why some of these reasons are real concerns for compact crossover buyers, but they seem more like preference based issues rather than legitimate flaws. I would’ve expected to hear about the problem with some of the turbo models or the cylinder deactivation issues. Some of the reasons mentioned in the video are actually reasons why our family likes our CX-5

    I don't like the cylinder deactivation that the CX-5 has but no other vehicles in the same class are in any way close as good to own. I just bought a 2025 CX-5 PP and it's freakin awesome. my wife and I don't even know that the cylinder deactivation is on or off we just don't feel it happening. And no CVT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

    I see something I don't like it weighs 3679 to 3871lbs. The engine is underpowered with those weights for fast acceleration. Just for comparisons sake a 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT weighs 3071lbs with a 2.4l engine which makes it fast off the line up to 90mph. That old can could outrun this car. My 2014 Genesis Coupe Ultimate weighs 3500lbs and has a 3.8l V6 with 348hp perfect balance.

    Mazda is no doubt a great car. It however didn't win my purchase because the infotainment system sucks. Also, there was no hybrid and the MPG sucks. Toyota has a better resale value and reliability score. Sorry for those who think it is the best ever. I don't think so. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better about your purchase. I do like it, but there are better choices out there for the money. I said what I said.

    What nonsense about towing? We dont buy a car to tow something at least not here at my place. The touch screen thingy is for safety reasons. The knob is way more useful & friendly.. the only thing i agreed is on the fuel consumption on 2.5 engine & maybe the space. But not everyone needs the extra space.

    Give me some of what you are smoking. None of these save the infotainment system are accurate. That knob on my wife's 2021 CX-5 is infuriating. How many people tow anything in general? Gas mileage seems adequate. The powertrain is adequate or you can opt for the turbo if you need more power, not seeing a negative there. Cargo space? It's a compact, who is buying this to carry massive amounts of things? Pricing seems competitive to me. Our trim affords luxury car features at a substantial savings. The equivalent Acura RDX would run well above 50K. Not exactly well researched.
