Dude I’ve been watching reviews on this car for about four or five months now. This is by far the most useful one I’ve seen! Thank you!!
Visited a showroom, had test drive and much as we really liked the car, the sales lady didn't do justice to it. Learned so much from watching your video. Tx a lot.
@tintuu Jeez, dude.
Dude, I bought a 2018 a month ago and I learned more about my car from this video than I learned from the sales person and on my own! Good job with the review, guy! 👍
One of the best car reviews I've ever seen! I'm planning to purchase the 2017 CX-5 and this was exactly what I wanted to see! Thanks
Keyyana B do it i got my own in this color this thursday i cant fuckin wait jajajajaj
Did you buy one? How do you like it?
Loving all the new Mazda cuvs, CX3, CX5, CX9. They all are just awesome and stand out from the crowd.
Wow!! I just bought this car a month ago and this video couldn't be more informative. Thank you soo much
Dude!!! This is the best review yet of the 2017 CX5! Provides all the details you need before seeing in person!
Cheers BRO!
You're Welcome!
Will Do!
Best review I've seen of the CX5 and I've watched them all. Thanks!
Have u decided to buy one ?

Forrest, you give the best, most concise reviews on you tube. And.... you actually sound like a normal guy!!! Thanks. I could own that car for 2 years and not know all the intricacies of the electronics/ entertainment/ safety functions. You have the knack.
Just bought one, dark blue with white "parchment" leather. Fantastic vehicle, especially fun on Skyline on the California coast. Yes, the upshifts are fast and responsive.
The car is exceptionally quiet at highway speed. The steering is precise on twisties and the acceleration and braking are both solid. There is no turbo from Mazda but the horsepower is 187 - enough for me.
It is possible to patch the entertainment system software if you want to. I want my passenger to be able to work with the nav once we are underway so I'll probably patch it at some point.
The cruise control is pretty futuristic to me. Drove back from work a week about just steering. The car accelerated and braked as required as cars moved in and out of my lane. The beginning of self-driving cars. :-)
Very happy with my purchase.
André Angelantoni you just use the joystick in the middle. Kinda cool to use
Great review. Just saw one of these on the lot yesterday and it's absolutely stunning. The white is gorgeous but the new red color has to be seen in person to be believed.
@Forest awesome and very thorough review of the features, materials, etc.! You shot and described in a way I wish other reviewers would. The sun light gave you a hell of a time with glare and shadows! LOL … I’m looking forward to you driving the car and giving us your opinion on how it feels, responsiveness, engine/transmission feel, etc. And take your time on that as you did on this one. You have, by far, the best review of this car on TH-cam, so kudos for that! I've never owned a Mazda (have been a Honda/Acura guy) and this CX-5 might make me switch brands. I have to test drive one for myself. Thanks for your time in producing this video!
Thanks, @Forest, keep up your amazing work. If you have the time, maybe your driving review can include shots of all the interior and exterior lighting at night!! I know these take time (I'm a pro video editor) so always appreciate the effort.
I drive by this automation location everyday and lust over the Cx5! So glad I ran across this review (wasn't even searching for it at the time). I'm definitely saving up for this beauty.
Yes agree, great review well done
Just took delivery of our silver baby today
She is lovely

end of lease for my Mazda6 next year... and I think I'll stay with Mazda for another 3yrs, with this sexy ass CX5.. awesome video! 🙏
Hey, so any issues with your Mazda vehicle during your 3 year lease?
Thank you! You showed a lot of the "hidden" features that others have not shows like the walk away lock and a deeper dive into the settings. Nice job.
I finally remembered what this reminds me of....the old Infiniti FX crossover models- but these are much better looking.
Is true, this is the best CX-5 2017 review I've seen so far. And I've seen all the ones available on TH-cam. Great job. This video review is exactly what I needed.
Very funny shopping for a cx-5 after owning another previously, and seeing this
forrest you've come a crazy long way
Best SUV in its class. Beautiful interior and exterior. Special attention to detail. Outstanding safety features. Awesome speakers (can't go wrong with Bose). Besides all that its fun to drive. It has everything. Keep up the good work! I enjoy your reviews.
If there's a perfect crossover out there, in terms of value for money, the CX-5 is right up there! Great video. Thanks!
As always. Great job Forrest!
Thanks so much for this detailed review. I'm going to buy in a few days. Was torn between 17-18 model years and now I have two videos to compare before I get to the lot. Your 2018 video brought me here, and just WOW. Excellent work.
I got the notification that you uploaded this new video two times. But can't view the video until now. Weird. Always like your review about Mazda. Keep it up man!
Good looking car in and out, very solidly built as you can hear the sound when you close the door. I love to have this in GT model.
wow, so many new features. big improvement in amenities from 2016 version.
Best review there is! No comparison!
Great review I watched hours of reviews of this car and not one mentioned anything about how you can adjust the lift gate height. Great feature
Absolutely, I agree - I was shocked to see the lift gate height as well and had no idea it was there. Awesome video work, thank you!
Thanks for stating your height, too many reviewers say that they fit great but we have no idea of their height! I'm planning on buying a new car before May and it will probably be this or the 2017 CR-V and i finally know how the features work on the CX-5 .
Thank you for creating a THOROUGH review.
Reggie TheBest ew, the CR-V.

Except for maybe styling, the CRV is bigger, yet lighter, much faster to 60, stops quicker, has more ground clearance, yet corners flat, faster in a slalom, yet gets better mpgs, and is about the same price, and predicted reliability/resale. It's just better at being a "crossover suv" while beating the Mazda in actual driving performance. www.motortrend.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2017/2017-honda-cr-v-vs-2017-mazda-cx-5-comparison-review/

I never usually liked mazda but this design and practicality are great...love it
Just checked this car out at the Houston auto show. Comfortable drivers area easy . Easy to get in and out and inside it's got a nice view out the front. There's no squatting or climbing to get in which awsome. My favorite part of this update is the rear AC vents they added. There's isn't many in stock in town yet to check out fully
Can instantly tell you're a car enthusiasts and love cars. Keep up the great work!
Awesome Review, Picking up my 2017 CX5 Akera tomorrow morning and now I'm more excited than ever !
gorgeous car and great detailed review! Subscribed!
maybe you could expand your channel on to other lesser-known car brands like Kia? Especially that new Kia Cadenza and Optima, really underrated in my opinion :D

That ridiculous front grille though!
killing it dude! lovin the stuff
Solid review much like the CX-9. For such a small channel your video's are pretty good.
I watched a bunch of Mazda reviews and your channel was the only one I subscribed to.
Yup, same here.

A fully loaded grand touring cx-5 would be perfect and a major competitor to audi/bmw/mercedes if it came with the cx-9 2.5L turbo motor. There isn't enough to distinguish the base trim from the top trim in the cx-5.
I agree with SAMM! Best review I have ever seen on the CX-5, super in depth, and you convinced me to get a CX-5!
Thanks for such a thorough review. It was very informative and packed with the details people want to know. I just checked your videos in hopes that there was a video review of the new Honda CR-V but not yet. I was really curious to see your take on that vehicle as it's a direct competitor of the CX-5 though Mazda appears to be moving a bit more premium compared to the rest of the segment. I hope you can shop you videos around to other dealerships and expand your channel and market presence because you're very professional and deserving. Good luck and continued success.
very good review.. felt like I checked out the features in person
It’s zippy and holds tight to the road while offering finishes that are downright sexy. This is not your average mid-size SUV. The stitching alone separates it from its competitors and the Bose sound system is on point. The tech is on par with any luxury vehicle I’ve driven in the past
Thanks for this awesome thorough review! This is stuff I really like to know about a car. Very informative.
I really appreciated the in depth coverage of the new Display, and the auto cruise control and how it will slow you down even to a full stop. Loved It
I have this car but 2016, awesome car.. is fuel efeciency and its have a lot of space in cargo
Love this review it takes the time an a lot of topics, thats exactly what i needed, thanks so much !
Soul red metallic is one gorgeous color, let alone the CX5! 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
Hi there! I had definitely been curious about this car, and after seeing your insightful video I just fell in love with it! Last week I finally ordered mine... it must have worked out well. I was even almost to get it in the same white colour, only shifted to DCB in the end. Thank you!
Really debating upgrading from the 2016 to the 2017.
Excellent review. Good job. I just bought the touring model. Very happy with it so far. Definitely have to read the manual.
I ❤ your in depth guidance of the design ques and attention to unique details
Fantastic. Very thorough review. Looking forward to your test drive.
Such a beautiful car!
Thumbs up if this guy needs more views!!
I own the 2015 model of this car and sincerely the best car I've ever had. I believe the 2017 (or future models) are even better and more refined.
Great review man The CX-5 is absolutely beautiful I've always wanted one
Subscribed! Such thorough information! You need more subscribers!
Very comprehensive review. Great job, thanks!
The best car review ever! Very detailed and helpful.
What great review Bro, keep it up. Thank you so much for telling all the details about the CX-5.
Great review!I have a current generation CX-5 and I just love it, great fuel economy, reliability, drive feeling, and I love that comes with NO CVT!
In Chile we get i-stop system, which on my city´s traffic conditions of stop and going, its of great help on fuel economy. I do, however, complain about a small detail : NO plastic footrest on the dead pedal like the Mazda 6. I ve seen most of the 2017 CX-5 videos and it seems that Mazda is all concerned about interior design, but they havent paid attention to that detail. Other than that, I will definitely buy this new generation in a couple of years when Mazda presents the CX-5´s "mid-cycle refresh"
Greetings from Chile

yay ! I got one in black. I didn't see this review when buying it but after seeing this review I am glad I got it :)
Great review, I want to buy it now but holding up till 4th quarter in hopes the Diesel version will arrive to US
bruuhhh it looks gorgeous in white. imagine dropping this 2" and you got a hatchback look.
Why the hell would you lower a crossover/SuV?
You're confused
sky nguyen get a wrx hatch to be quicker
Drop an SUV? Hell no
rolande59 LOL
please do comparison for cx5 vs crv vs rav4. really great review! thank you
nice review, can you give another test drive review?
do you think this redesigned model is as quiet as CRV and RAV4 ?
Chang Dean and u
Great car, great overview. Thanks for taking the trouble to do this. All the info I needed before I go get me one. Cheers!
my favorite SUV in this segment !
He knows just about everything there is to know about the cx-5.
Great review. Just of note, I thought the bars were car lengths too, but they're actually dynamic distances based on speed - so they're more like 2-8 seconds off the bumper of the car you are following. I read this in the service manual. Again, nice work.
Nice work, very thorough!
Looks really awesome. Mazda did a great job on the new CX-5. I wish it had factory installed parking sensors in the rear and front and a bit more thigh support, but other than that it looks great. Also, passenger seat lumbar would have been nice too. I love it though

Very good review. I like your attention to detail. Well done!
thanks for the video.. i have seen so many Mazda cx5 review, but this is the best review so far!!
just one question, does it have tyre air pressure control?
Looks very premium.I would put this on my list if I was shopping a Mercedes GLC or BMW X1/X3
You've done very pleasant review on new Mazda CX-5 2017...Thank a lot.

Great review, beautiful car.
Liftgate 😩 so mad my 2016 doesn't have that 😢
nice video sir just subscribed keep up the good work!
As a 6' driver, do you have to remove the rear seat headrest to allow the rear seat to lay flat? Also, does the dash show which tire may need air or a general notice regardless of tire. Thanks for the great review. The best I've seen.
Great thorough review. Still hate the screen placement. I don't look at screens when I drive. They should have left the screen where it was. Great looking car otherwise. Thanks.
Great review my friend, you deserve much more subs.. :) keep it up
I’m shocked by the lack of rear leg room, the only thing that I can see would prevent me getting one. This seems like a high hatchback rather than an SUV, the kids do like their acres of legroom and those trays!
I like this car - and I think Mazda builds some good cars, some of them are not only build in Japan, but they are build almost entirely with PARTS made in Japan, which is quite rare these days. One think I don't care much is these cars have little space for tall 6ft drivers at the pedals. So beware if you are rather tall guy/lady
Why did they drop the 4 windows automatic one push down/up? Sometimes I don't understand threse car companies
A for effort, thanks for the video showing the features of this car sir!
And thank you so much for the review
This was a great review. Very detailed. What is the floorboard rest area like in the driver's position with the left foot? Is it carpeted? Or more substantial rubber padding? In the 2016 version, it's a pretty flimsy carpet in the left foot rest area. Thanks again. I subscribed as well.
Any chance this has a Apple CarPlay option?
Great job reviewing this vehicle!
Great, detailed review - Subscribed. Thanks!
Great review. I'm waiting for the SkyActiv-D, diesel. Maybe this fall?
so the sport does have a sun roof? great review I was really leaning towards a mazda and you totally sold me, great job 👌👌 also which one is this? sport, touring, or grand touring? I assumed sport bc of the feature,,,
Very nice. Love the Maserati looking front end.
Thee best review, Just what I needed to hear.
Thanks
How were the seats for you??? I test drove one today, and I felt that front seats were a bit too intrusive for me. Not really a deal breaker but I guess I'll have to get used to it.
Alano Alavrez Part of the problem is actually the Headrests. Like many new cars, they force your head forward. You could buy the flatter ones from a 6 or older cx.
6 years late my dad has this car
Can you do a test drive between VW Tiguan 2017 2.0diesel and Mazda CX-5 2017 2.5 diesel? I think these two cars are the best in their class..
Incredible review!
I just got my 2017 CS5 Touring trim. The voice recognition for navigation in my city (approx. 500,000 pop). doesn't work. I've been told it will work in larger cities. Has anyone ever heard of this? It doesn't seem plausible. Thanks for the great review.
