Have 2121 carbon with turbo front wheel drive love this car. Hate active cruise control. I just shut it off. Also shut of lane change feature. Live in fla don't care about heated seats or steering wheel. Really like this car. Recommend it
I subscribed just to support a fellow BCer . Also I had a 2019 which I recently traded for CX50 everything u told us really did apply and thanks for doing the review
Hi, Have one of them at adout the same age. Totally agree enjoy driving it yes the cup holders are too far back. With the cruise control for highway I set it at 4 bars distance which is about 120 feet and in town set at 2 bars distance. Its all about safety but them slow acceleration is a bit off putting after you have slowed down when somebody turns off in front of you. Fuel economy is what is about. Great vehicle and enjoy the driving experience.
Spot on review! Just bought a pre-owned 2021.5 Signature (Turbo/AWD: US model) yesterday. It rides firm (which I prefer), but the soft Nappa leather front seats need better cushioning for my tush. May not have all of the most up to date tech, but sure has a lot more than my old 2011 CX-5, and since that one has over 185k miles on it (all original), I figured Mazda earned my trust. Android Auto works great too. Can't wait for a road trip (and some tunes and audio books).
I'm interested in getting a CX-5 this year. I'm undecided if I should get a naturally aspirated Carbon Edition or the Turbo. It's about $5000 more for the Turbo model here in the US. You do also get the ventilated seats and heads up display on the turbo that you don't get on the Carbon Edition. Other than that, it's the same car for $5000 less with better gas mileage. Sounds like the reviewer likes the turbo. I've never heard such a detailed explanation of how it works. I do enjoy quick cars but I haven't had one for a while. So fun vs. practicality.
I drive the cx30 2021 this car had the normal lock and open function, I come to the car it unlock and I close the door and it locks without doing anything, so walk away and it close automatically. It's a beautyfull and perfect car only the same the radar cruisecontrole and speed that could better,I have the e skyactive x engine and I drive easy 5,5 ltr a 100 km
it's very hard to name lane keep assist an advantage, when kia/huyndai/honda offers great lane centering assist which keeps car in center of the lane for you in the same car class for the same price.
I really like my CX 5 !!! My biggest gripe for me is the suspension. Too stiff !!! Some say it's because I have "19 rims and should do it down to "17 rims. Near future I will be changing them.
I was considering buying a sport design turbo one, in black. I'm kinda wanting to get rid of my 2019 Ford Escape, issues. Would it be a good upgrade for me? I took a 21 one for a test drive. How much are your gas fill ups on average? Gas is like 1 70 ish here in ontario.
You will love the upgrade to the CX-5 in driving dynamics comparted to the Ford! One complaint with the CX-5 (that I did not mention) is the small fuel tank size (58L), so it doesn't go THAT far compared to other vehicles. Let's say 50L on a fill = $85 for you = 588 km highway / 476 km city.
I have the 2021.5 Mazda CX-5 Kuro edition. Love the look, wish I had the faster engine like you do! I am not averaging 8.6L/100KM though. More like 10.5L. Does the slower engine burn more gas?
No, the turbo uses more fuel. If you’re only driving in the city 10.5 or higher will be normal. My “in town” driving still has a bit of highway as well.
Any issues with seat comfort?? I am about your build, tad shorter and have yet to get comfortable, my lower back starts bothering me. Was not noticeable on the test drive as they don't let you go very long or far with it.
The radio volume button on the console is also a mute button. I wish it would turn the radio off because when I restart the car, the radio automatically comes on. I haven't found a wsy to turn the radio off without going like 3 clicks deep in the infotainment system. Annoying! Other than that, I love my 2021 CX-5!

OMG, it is so nice to see a Canadian review. Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I really like the expert description of the engine technology.

Yes, it has been a while since I made the video, and the car is still stellar. Excellent road trip car! Also tows surprisingly well.
You are aware some mazda 2021 turbo engines had faulty valve seals leading to excessive oil consumption?
@@charlesmartel4629 not this one.
thank you so much, I am really thinking of getting one and been waiting for new car price to normalized
I would probably never use adaptive cruise control anyway, so no problem there. Great review! I'm a hot freak so ventilated seats would be awesome. 😎
Brilliant 👍🏼 but a little knit picky about minor things. I have two.
What a review! We need more please.
Thanks for the feedback!

Nice review! Just recently got my wife the CX 30 and whay a nice car.

Seems to be normal for most newer cars. As stiff as it is, it does handle big bumps fairly well.
I will trade you 17” rims and tires for 19” rims and tires
Great review!👍
Looks like it was film in the Vancouver BC area or Langley BC
Nailed it. North Langley/Port Kells.

@@that_jamesguy Is your car been very low maintenance?
New subscriber! Excellent video.
You know, you can set it to automatically lock as you walk away... no button.
I know, but then it locks itself in my garage, which I don’t want. 🤷♂️
Can you please suggest if I should buy cx5 or the Honda CR-V …For me I just wanted to enjoy my driving ..in 2022 or I wait for 2023 model CRV or cx5
Sorry, I have no experience with the Honda.

Seats are good. Drove 3-1/2 hours nonstop yesterday and was a bit sore, but a quick stretch fixed that. 👍
I subscribe hoping to see some cx5 drag race. If none well i am out
Drag race against what?
@@that_jamesguy anything just for fun

Yes, and the mute button also pauses music (TH-cam music on Apple Car Play).
Holding the button down for a few seconds will turn it off.
@@blackhawkskatt5639 holding the button down turns the entire infotainment system off. You don't even get the clock. That is not a good solution.
isn't the adaptive cruise separate from the emergency braking feature so you could turn that part off?
Yes, that is correct. But the “scared” cruise control around tight corners cannot be switched off.
Do you noticed any oil consumption?
No
Have you driven in snow yet ?
Yes. Not extensively, but enough to know that it's decent/about normal for a car like this.

I am not comfortable with the reviewer who is not keeping his eyes on the road
Either was my wife who was doing the filming 🤣
