Traded our 2017 cx5 for CX 50 this weekend. The new front grill looks fantastic. 2017 CX-5 went over 100,000 miles Zero check engine lights not even a light bulb failed
I just purchased this car yesterday. Was looking at CX-5, but then drove this. The seat position discussion at 7:45 was what changed my mind to the CX-50. Love the way this thing drives and handles.
This has become my favorite Mazda. The CX-30 and CX-5 I drove during my recent car search. This model is right down the pike...stylish and capable. The size is perfect. I could do without the pano roof ...standard moon roof is just fine. I'm looking forward to seeing them on the road. Thanks for the review you guys are awesome.
All my 3 current vehicles have pono roof. I hardly use them, but two have leaks. One time we drove home from a trip and started to rain. The roof did not close and we got wet. But luckily, the bridge saved us from flooding the interior. I rather don't have it at all and save money on the option.
@@francisgallozzi2595 ....and here in the states as well. At the time of my initial comment that was not clear to me. The soon to come 'Meridian' should be very interesting.
I think Mazda has nailed it. It looks brilliant. Both this Mazda and the Subaru definitely hit a sweet spot in the market. I think its an absolutely fantastic looking (inside and out) product. Either one would look great in my driveway. Thanks for another great review.
Lmao please don’t compare this to the Subaru. Subaru has gone downhill, they have a huge identity crisis. They are an “enthusiast” brand trying too hard to appeal to the masses. Their CVT pretty much robs the vehicle of any driving pleasure. What’s the point of having a great engine when your transmission bottlenecks the feel and performance of the entire vehicle?
@@vee6411gas mileage. They are trying to squeeze as many mpg’s out of their engines with the CVT as a selling point. From what I’ve heard the real world gas mileage is not that close to the sticker mileage
Buddy of mine just took delivery of his CX 50 yesterday. He literally test drove everything remotely in the perspective class and decided on the Mazda. He loves it.
Nice review. I'm glad that you pointed out the difference between volumetric versus usable cargo volume between the CX-5 and CX-50. I currently lease a 2020 CX-5 FWD Touring down here in Florida. One of the reasons I'm considering a 2023 CX-50 next year is its longer and wider cargo area.
I test drove the new cx 50 last week and turned right around and brought it back to the dealer. I sat very low in the car even though the seat height was adjusted and the driver's window stopped very high. I felt as if I had been dropped in a box. I got the CX5 premium plus instead and picked it up a few days ago. I love it.
@Wikoli B I have had the cx5 for almost 5 months now. I smile every time I get in my car. I had ordered an audi q3 9 months before and when I found it was not coming for probably 6 more months I looked around. I am so happy with my decision to buy the cx5 and like it more than the audi! I think you will love it.
@@nancylide723 I'll add that if you like your car, and you got a decent deal, you're good, as long as they didn't rip you off. I never take extended warranties or other adds. Inversely, if you got a smokin' deal and don't like your car or got a lemon, it was a bad deal. I've learned to make sure as much as possible that the car you're buying is a good unit, and if it's a fair deal, you should be good.
Love your reviews! I have had two CX-5s and now have a CX-30; the seats are way better in the 30 & 50 than the CX-5. When I switched to the CX-30, I couldn't believe at 6'3, I fit better in the CX-30, although I do hit my head sometimes getting in and out haha, so I will be most likely switching to the CX-50 in a couple years. One of my reasonings of staying with Mazda is their AWD system works so well, living in a snowy area with some rough dirt roads their AWD has gotten me through some sketchy conditions with ease.
Which year of CX5 are you comparing with the CX 50? Because from the year 2022, all front seats are fairly common between CX5 and CX50, with CX5 having an elevated thigh support and CX50 having a flat bottom.
@@ludwigtheholyblade79 I had a ‘13 & ‘20 CX-5, I’m comparing the ‘20, while very comfortable I could never adjust to get enough legroom but it never really bothered me. When I had to get another car (due to a deer) I was shocked at the difference of legroom I had being a smaller vehicle. It could be the difference in padding as you spoke of allowing me to stretch my legs lower. I did see one video from TFL Car on the CX-30 that explained the seats were designed emulate standing posture. When the CX-50 hit showroom floors I noticed the interiors were similar between the 30&50 and seat comfort of the 50 was closer to the 30 vs. the 5. Being 6’3”, broader shoulders and scoliosis I personally have a hard time with seating adjustments. Quick example I had to drive my friends ‘19 Grand Cherokee, even though I’m a huge fan of Jeeps, my back starting hurting only after 5miles of driving. Thankfully for Mazda I have zero pain even on longer road trips.
Another great review. CX-50 will be another SUV home run after CX-30. Can't wait for CX-70 and CX-90, especially PHEV which will enhance Mazda's dynamic image to another height.
I spoke with a Mazda mechanic and he told me there are problems with turbos across the brand. He said the four cylinder minus the turbo, is bullet proof.
I test-drove this vehicle yesterday and really wanted to like it. It addressed the few things that made me reject the CX-5, chiefly the amount of cargo space. But the seats were the deal-killer. I like a firm seat, but these were church-pew-hard. The ride was a bit rough and the cabin was not particularly quiet. A shame; I had hoped that it might be the one.
When you get older, nature just dictates a few things for us despite how much we want to resist it. I'm driving a 2021 Outback and the seats are comfortable. I'm thinking of switching to this, bas model. I think it is cloth seats so it may be more comfortable. I'm almost 50... wow, time flies.
I own 2 2022 Mazdas. CX30 turbo and a 3 Sport (hatch). As I reside in Canada, we get the unlimited kilometres 3 year and 5 year powertrain warranties. Who else does this at this price point? If we needed the extra room the 50 would be very nice option. Since we don’t, we are extremely satisfied with our Mazdas. Well done again Motormouth.
I've watched your channel enough over the years to value your well considered opinion. When I replace my 2013 Outback Limited I will shop the CX-50. Although I have learned to get the most out of the CVT, I still don't like it and Subaru's reliance on a screen for common controls is not as good as my 2013 with actual buttons.(I have tried a 2021 during a service stop) If a switch fails in my car I don't lose everything. Just my thoughts from an avid viewer.
It is a VERY good looking behicle. Best looking Mazda. Saw one in the showroom today and it was nice. Did not drive it, was there for the CX-5 (yawn) but may consider this.
Finally a crossover that strikes a good balance in the stance of the vehicle. Width to height ratio is awesome while still having decent ground clearance
I think the CX-50 is a great looking vehicle, but it does not surprise me that some people don't like its looks. I mean some people even like the looks of Hondas. There is no accounting for taste. I just hope there is inventory for the CX-50 when my lease is up in May.
This is basically the old CX-7 that people have been longing for. I love the interior except the rear seats. It needs the 40/20/40 split so you can fit hockey sticks, skis, etc. and not force a passenger into the uncomfortable middle seat.
Just picked up the 2024 CX-50 Premium. Very Pleased. It is solid and prefer the lower ride feeling. It has upgraded shocks and lighter steering compared to the 23' Model. Within 2 days, I found a coding bug. You can use the favorite button to add a radio station to favorites. Discovered you can add the same station multiple times. Ideally, should be limited to once. Also, instead of a delete a favorite screen action, it would be easier to hold down the favorite button to unfavorite a station, essentially a double click.
Superb, polished and professional review. Love the format. Subscribed. Seems like a great car. My wife wants one and I think we are about to pull the trigger on getting one. Thank you for the great review.
I just checked it out in person. Looks great in polygraph metal. Seeing it in person it looks like they referenced the Rav 4. Looking forward to test driving it.
I REALLY like this new CX 50. Mazda has shed the image they had with the Protege and went premium and powerful. I drove the CX5 and the Miata at a test drive event and enjoyed them very much. This fits the bill for comfortable daily driver with easy entry/exit which I've come to appreciate when wearing bulky winter clothing.
This is the coolest thing mazda has given us in years. Too bad those of us in the right hand markets are not getting it. And i wish it was available with a manual gearbox.
Excellent and helpful review. Many reviewers will focus on minutiae that does not matter (ex. the placement of the middle vent). One month into owning the CX-50 Turbo (wife's car), it is a fun small SUV to drive. And the styling is class leading IMHO. Your review hit what buyer's want to know. Thx.
Another very informative review! I just wish Mazda and Subaru would have more hybrid models like so many other auto companies are offering. With gas prices in Ca over $6 dollars/gal its very hard to justify buying a gas engine. But I guess when your car sales for both Mazda and Subaru are so good there isn't the urgency to add additional technologies.
I hope Mazda finds a good way to make their hybrid models without a CVT. Given they are going to be borrowing some of their hybrid system from Toyota, I have my doubts. Maybe its just me, but I'd rather pay a little more for fuel than deal with a CVT.
This is nice looking vehicle. Interior is good. I wish touchscreen is front of dashboard not top of it so driver can reach for it. Awesome video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻
Loving the looks of the cx50, i like the wider body. Cant wait for the mazda-toyota hybrid venture in the next few years, babying my current vehicles to make it to then lols
Great review. I've seen the CX-50 on the lot and I just saw one in the wild on the local Walgreens parking lot with a lot of dirt on it, so the owner obviously lives off the paved road. This is a beautiful car, very well designed and engineered. My wife is in a '22 Mazda 3 Premium which is a great sports sedan but I hit my head every time I get in it. Looking at the CX-5 and I'll have to demo it to see if would work for us.
I'm looking to replace my 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan and this vehicle is at the top of my list of considerations. I sat in the CX-5 and I felt like I was sitting on a pile of rocks. Went to sit in the CX-50 and I felt like I was in heaven. The CX-50 is my style of vehicle.
@@seanjamesmacleod241 it was so bad that the car died at 9000kms. I was worried that because I was driving a lot, I didn’t want the risk of getting stuck somewhere so I had to get rid of it.
i gotta say, as a MAH-ZDA owner here in the U.S. (lol) that black gloss grill and vents pick up every dead bug carcass that sticks to it and that is all you see when you walk by the front of your car. looks good freshly washed but if you are a neat-freak it might drive you crazy...I just go "ugh" silently to myself as I walk by and shrug it off to all the miles I am putting on my car from LOVING to go on long weekend drives.
Hi. I appreciate it if you reply to my question. If you want to choose between this and Tiguan 2024, which one do you prefer? reliability wise, driving quality, etc.?
Great review and like this new Mazda cx 50. Being looking for a new SUV but hard to find. Zack said something on his talk last night so have a great day and enjoy because kids grow up to fast.
I like the more squared off exterior and classy interior. I would have to take a look at this one since its cargo capacity is on par with the competition.
i think it looks great!.. this was my 2nd option to the 2022 Nissan Rogue. The only reason why I didn't go with Mazda was because of the lack of dealer inventories near me.
I wonder will we get this in Europe. The cx60 was recently announced here. I like the look of this. All Mazdas look good, inside and out. Thank you for another great review.
Excellent Review. I love the look and performance of the car. I'm eagerly waiting for the Hybrid version. Any idea by when is the Hybrid version of CX-50 expected to arrive?
Thanks for this great review! I hate all those intrusive safety features... Nanny (nannies) should never interfere with my driving pleasure! lol. Instead, Mazda should have put more efforts and focus on the front turning signal lights which are too low according to me. That's a real safety issue!
I test drove CX50 yesterday and it's not as good as everyone is saying on YT. It's really hard to steer and you have to fight with the gas and brake pedal, they're so hard to push. I've owned Mazda CX 5 and it was a dream to drive but this one seems different and harder to me. I understand that they're trying to make it more rugged and that's appreciated but inside also everything you touch is creaking because it's super cheap plastic (besides all the leather parts) and on the door, Bose speakers are so easy to push and move because they're wrapped in plastic. The screen is put too far away and when the sun hits it in the right way, you can't see anything on it. Everything else, including the small version of moonroof (Mazda's first attempt to do this), which also doesn't open all the way but only opens as just the normal sunroof ( same size which is a shame) and the motor that opens it seems rough. With all the gas prices these days, I don't know who this car is for. I was hoping to get it because I love Mazda but (CX5 and CX 30 drove better than this).
I like it as well and it reminds me of that Volvo as well. Usually I don’t like plastic cladding too much but I think it suits it just fine. I really do have to try out the backseat though. I’m very tall and my daughters are growing centimetres every day it seems. I want to make sure there is room for them behind my seat. I’d definitely go for the turbo. I love wagons too, Zack. :)
In South Louisiana we need more air vents in front. Why is their only one center vent? Other than that it's wonderful vehicle. Great review. You all are the best.
I like the exterior of this new model. But I like the interior design/layout of the dash better....in the CX~5. This looks more plain and spartan up front. CX~5 for me.... Nice review though.
Hit that notification bell Zack. Nice car though, looks well balanced on the road taking corners with ease! Sporty looks with a degree of mild off road capability!
Nice review! Love that shade of leather. Right now I.m still enjoying the red leather interior of my cx5 100th anniversary By the time my lease is up there should be other new Mazda products available. The future cx70 with Rwd biased AWD and straight 6 seems more interesting than the cx50. Although I'm sure that will be more expensive than this cx50.
I like the styling for the most part, I’d still prefer a digital driver side dash, so happy to see a touchscreen. I’ve also stayed away from Mazda because of their small back seats
@Hugh M. I agree with the paint issue...my Cx5 has a ton of paint chips and I do not drive in rural or harsh conditions with off roads etc.....I too wonder if the paint quality is less than adequate as I have never had this issue with previous vehicles.....but I do love my CX5 and am test driving the CX50 tomorrow!
I prefer my new 2022 CX-5 Turbo Signature but I do wish that it would have wireless Android Auto. Not a fan of the nappa leather in CX-50 with a strip dead center in the seats . I believe CX-50 is trying to appeal to the younger Subaru crowd with CX-5 up against the Audi and Lexus crowd. I would agree the panoramic moon roof panel looks great. I also prefer the no black plastic trim in fender wells gives it a more premium look.
I bought a new 2021 Mazda CX-5. I believe the CX-50 has the same engine. It burns engine oil from day one. I looked up and found a bulletin for my car to be repaired. I took it in and they agreed that my car fell under that bulletin according to the VIN but, that I had to wait for the engine light to come on. By my calculation that won't happen until one oil change after my warranty is up. Don't take a chance and buy Mazdas. They don't stand by their product unlike Honda for instance. At the time I was shopping for my car, they had fuel dilution problems with some of their engines. Similar to my problem but worse. They put out a bulletin and fix it. Mazda will do whatever it takes to avoid paying to fix the problem, even when they themselves admit that there's a problem.
The 2021 Mazda 2,5 turbos are reported to have oil consumption issues due to redesigned valve seals. I would either stick to the naturally aspirated 2.5 or research and question thoroughly the '22 and '23 oil consumption stats on the turbo version.
@@wikolib6821 Great News. Mazda finally agreed to repair my car. I know it took some prodding but still you have to give them credit. I’m so happy I don’t know what to do with myself. They're going to replace the exhaust seals.
I noticed that too. I wonder if it either has something to do with seat comfort (sitting on that little 20% section may not be that great), or saving money in design and construction (two instead of three seat back releases).
Thanks for another excellent review. Looking to change from my 2018 Sportage SX Turbo, for something with a more 'relaxed' ride. How does this compare to the Sorento SX?
Question please: The cup holder almost looks to be tucked underneath the dash and air conditioning controls. Any problem fitting a taller cup like a Tervis tumbler? Great video! You guys do wonderful reviews!
I’m on my second Mazda CX-9 and absolutely love these cars. I can’t wait for the CX-90 to be revealed. That inline 6 hybrid powertrain is going to be amazing. I’m just hoping they can keep it under 60k but we’ll see.
As a current 2017 CX5 owner I really like the look of the CX50….except for the cheap plastic cladding. I realize that the 2022 CX5 has the option of monochromatic paint but I really like the look and stance of the CX50. I would have liked to see more interior room and cargo space to reflect the larger dimensions. I will probably wait for the larger CX60/90 with the potential I6 engine before I trade in my current CX5.
I look forward to driving the new CX-90, hopefully it will be out by the end of the year or early 2023. The CX-60 will not be offered in North America.
@@andreaspencer9813 After watching videos of the new CX60 that’s not coming to North America, I think Mazda is really missed the mark with the CX50. The CX60 is a much nicer vehicle, in every way. The interior is Volvo like and in spite of having dimensions similar to the CX50, it looks larger. Is the I6 gas engine coming in the new CX90?

If they would have kept the cx-5 height along with the cx-50 ground clearance, it would have been perfect.
Yea........Side window is TINY.............Paul

I hope Mazda finds a good way to make their hybrid models without a CVT. Given they are going to be borrowing some of their hybrid system from Toyota, I have my doubts. Maybe its just me, but I'd rather pay a little more for fuel than deal with a CVT.
@@realbigtuna667 Me too.........In fact, I traded My CVT Subie for a 6 speed CX30...........Paul
This is nice looking vehicle. Interior is good. I wish touchscreen is front of dashboard not top of it so driver can reach for it. Awesome video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, so glad you liked it. Really happy there is a panoramic sunroof now!
@@andreaspencer9813 You are an very welcome and same here. ☕️☕️
Loving the looks of the cx50, i like the wider body. Cant wait for the mazda-toyota hybrid venture in the next few years, babying my current vehicles to make it to then lols
We do a lot of golfing and usually carry my clubs all summer. My CX5 does not fit our clubs across the back will they fit in the CX50.
Great review. I've seen the CX-50 on the lot and I just saw one in the wild on the local Walgreens parking lot with a lot of dirt on it, so the owner obviously lives off the paved road. This is a beautiful car, very well designed and engineered.
My wife is in a '22 Mazda 3 Premium which is a great sports sedan but I hit my head every time I get in it. Looking at the CX-5 and I'll have to demo it to see if would work for us.
Hi, thanks for the videos, Im receiving my mazda cx 50 gt turbo 2024 in a week and Im from Montreal
I'm looking to replace my 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan and this vehicle is at the top of my list of considerations. I sat in the CX-5 and I felt like I was sitting on a pile of rocks. Went to sit in the CX-50 and I felt like I was in heaven. The CX-50 is my style of vehicle.
How bad is the Tiguan?😅
@@seanjamesmacleod241 it was so bad that the car died at 9000kms. I was worried that because I was driving a lot, I didn’t want the risk of getting stuck somewhere so I had to get rid of it.
Just put down money to reserve the next CX-50 coming to my city. I can't wait!
This looks really nice! And it finally has the touch screen. Too bad they didn't add a modern transmission.
i gotta say, as a MAH-ZDA owner here in the U.S. (lol) that black gloss grill and vents pick up every dead bug carcass that sticks to it and that is all you see when you walk by the front of your car. looks good freshly washed but if you are a neat-freak it might drive you crazy...I just go "ugh" silently to myself as I walk by and shrug it off to all the miles I am putting on my car from LOVING to go on long weekend drives.
Aren’t the rear doors hard plastic vs the cx5 soft touch? Also what did you think of the torsion beam?
Hi. I appreciate it if you reply to my question. If you want to choose between this and Tiguan 2024, which one do you prefer? reliability wise, driving quality, etc.?
Great review and like this new Mazda cx 50. Being looking for a new SUV but hard to find. Zack said something on his talk last night so have a great day and enjoy because kids grow up to fast.
They sure are growing up fast! - Andrea
I like the more squared off exterior and classy interior. I would have to take a look at this one since its cargo capacity is on par with the competition.
i think it looks great!.. this was my 2nd option to the 2022 Nissan Rogue. The only reason why I didn't go with Mazda was because of the lack of dealer inventories near me.
I wonder will we get this in Europe. The cx60 was recently announced here. I like the look of this. All Mazdas look good, inside and out.
Thank you for another great review.
I love Canadians man, they're so much nicer than Americans. Wouldn't mind moving there!
Till you see the prices!
sadly in Australia we don't even get this model, this is a hottest Mazda SUV right now
Excellent Review. I love the look and performance of the car. I'm eagerly waiting for the Hybrid version. Any idea by when is the Hybrid version of CX-50 expected to arrive?
We asked Mazda but they wouldn't confirm, we are thinking the end of this year or beginning of next year. - Andrea
Guys, a very good detailed review 👍 Mazda CX 50 looks amazing!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
That's awesome to know about that roof hold that can hold weight of 3 people.
Moving dead bodies has never been this convenient!
Beautiful looking suv, does base model have blind spot
Thanks for this great review! I hate all those intrusive safety features... Nanny (nannies) should never interfere with my driving pleasure! lol. Instead, Mazda should have put more efforts and focus on the front turning signal lights which are too low according to me. That's a real safety issue!
Great review. I'm thinking of waiting for the CX 70 since it will be a HEV and PHEV.
I wish Mazda Canada have the most basic trim because it's more affordable than higher trims just like in the US they have ten(10) trim options.
You guys have nailed it with this review!
Thank you so much, we appreciate the kind words - Andrea
@@Motormouth... Andrea is it you or Mazdas new products that make your husband more of a Mazda Boy now? 😉
I test drove CX50 yesterday and it's not as good as everyone is saying on YT. It's really hard to steer and you have to fight with the gas and brake pedal, they're so hard to push. I've owned Mazda CX 5 and it was a dream to drive but this one seems different and harder to me. I understand that they're trying to make it more rugged and that's appreciated but inside also everything you touch is creaking because it's super cheap plastic (besides all the leather parts) and on the door, Bose speakers are so easy to push and move because they're wrapped in plastic. The screen is put too far away and when the sun hits it in the right way, you can't see anything on it. Everything else, including the small version of moonroof (Mazda's first attempt to do this), which also doesn't open all the way but only opens as just the normal sunroof ( same size which is a shame) and the motor that opens it seems rough. With all the gas prices these days, I don't know who this car is for. I was hoping to get it because I love Mazda but (CX5 and CX 30 drove better than this).
Driving it daily to work, you'll have to see a chiropractor more often.
I like it as well and it reminds me of that Volvo as well. Usually I don’t like plastic cladding too much but I think it suits it just fine.
I really do have to try out the backseat though. I’m very tall and my daughters are growing centimetres every day it seems. I want to make sure there is room for them behind my seat. I’d definitely go for the turbo.
I love wagons too, Zack. :)
Looks like this is my next car after my current 2010 Mazda 3. I hope there will be a PHEV in Canada.
Yes Yes Yes! I was waiting for this review. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great presentation. What is the Cargo floor space dimension and height (floor to the cargo cover)?
In South Louisiana we need more air vents in front. Why is their only one center vent? Other than that it's wonderful vehicle. Great review. You all are the best.
Mazda styling is incredible.
I like the exterior of this new model. But I like the interior design/layout of the dash better....in the CX~5. This looks more plain and spartan up front. CX~5 for me.... Nice review though.
Hit that notification bell Zack. Nice car though, looks well balanced on the road taking corners with ease! Sporty looks with a degree of mild off road capability!
Nice review! Love that shade of leather. Right now I.m still enjoying the red leather interior of my cx5 100th anniversary By the time my lease is up there should be other new Mazda products available. The future cx70 with Rwd biased AWD and straight 6 seems more interesting than the cx50. Although I'm sure that will be more expensive than this cx50.
I like the styling for the most part, I’d still prefer a digital driver side dash, so happy to see a touchscreen. I’ve also stayed away from Mazda because of their small back seats
Great review, great car. The pinging noise would drive me nuts though. Could not handle that. Strange but true.
Which one would you choose, RAV4 vs cx50 ?
Nice review 🤙
I m not a fan of Mazda but they really nailed that one . When compared to the others it s clearly the most appealing .
@Hugh M. I agree with the paint issue...my Cx5 has a ton of paint chips and I do not drive in rural or harsh conditions with off roads etc.....I too wonder if the paint quality is less than adequate as I have never had this issue with previous vehicles.....but I do love my CX5 and am test driving the CX50 tomorrow!
HOw does the base engine run compared to the turbo? Is it a typical lagging 4Cy? I won't be towing much with it, just a bike rack with 2-3 bikes.
I prefer my new 2022 CX-5 Turbo Signature but I do wish that it would have wireless Android Auto. Not a fan of the nappa leather in CX-50 with a strip dead center in the seats . I believe CX-50 is trying to appeal to the younger Subaru crowd with CX-5 up against the Audi and Lexus crowd. I would agree the panoramic moon roof panel looks great. I also prefer the no black plastic trim in fender wells gives it a more premium look.
How’s the ride quality compared to other compact SUVs? Does the longer wheelbase help? Coming from a Forester
HOLY SMOKES!!! Yeah 9 trim levels in USA but--- drum roll-- several mid-tier trims arent available until the fall! SMH
I tried it myself yesterday the CX 50 the shocks are a little stiff on the road could be better
Does the CX-50 have remote start on the key fob?
I bought a new 2021 Mazda CX-5. I believe the CX-50 has the same engine. It burns engine oil from day one. I looked up and found a bulletin for my car to be repaired. I took it in and they agreed that my car fell under that bulletin according to the VIN but, that I had to wait for the engine light to come on. By my calculation that won't happen until one oil change after my warranty is up. Don't take a chance and buy Mazdas. They don't stand by their product unlike Honda for instance. At the time I was shopping for my car, they had fuel dilution problems with some of their engines. Similar to my problem but worse. They put out a bulletin and fix it. Mazda will do whatever it takes to avoid paying to fix the problem, even when they themselves admit that there's a problem.
The 2021 Mazda 2,5 turbos are reported to have oil consumption issues due to redesigned valve seals. I would either stick to the naturally aspirated 2.5 or research and question thoroughly the '22 and '23 oil consumption stats on the turbo version.
@@wikolib6821 Great News. Mazda finally agreed to repair my car. I know it took some prodding but still you have to give them credit. I’m so happy I don’t know what to do with myself. They're going to replace the exhaust seals.
@@wikolib6821 Sorry they are going to replace the exhaust valve seals.
@@lgsprings5623 Glad they are taking care of you. Hopefully this solves the problem.
Yes! Been waiting for this one from you two
Another great video!! Also what watch are you wearing Zack? Vintage Doxa?
Vintage orange Seiko 5, called the UFO.
Would be trading my 2023 Subaru Outback XT for this. Which one would you rather have?
Would you go Turbo or non-turbo? Thanks :)
Oh yes it’s stunning I so hope the U.K. get the turbo version but I doubt it, regardless it’s still amazing looking in and out. Thanks guys.
How quiet is the inside?
Why did they get rid of the 40-20-40 rear seat? That was a big plus on the CX5
I noticed that too. I wonder if it either has something to do with seat comfort (sitting on that little 20% section may not be that great), or saving money in design and construction (two instead of three seat back releases).
Thanks for another excellent review. Looking to change from my 2018 Sportage SX Turbo, for something with a more 'relaxed' ride. How does this compare to the Sorento SX?
Question please: The cup holder almost looks to be tucked underneath the dash and air conditioning controls. Any problem fitting a taller cup like a Tervis tumbler? Great video! You guys do wonderful reviews!
Looks like a WAGON to me! I love it!
Really love this model. Can anyone talk about the dealership / maintenance experience?
Looking @ CX50 Turbo premium vs Lexus NX 350h vs Acura RDX AWD tech package. Mostly highway miles. Any opinions?
Seems like a direct competitor to the Outback XT. Which do you like better?
I love it !! And love the more rugged / solid looks.
I’m on my second Mazda CX-9 and absolutely love these cars. I can’t wait for the CX-90 to be revealed. That inline 6 hybrid powertrain is going to be amazing. I’m just hoping they can keep it under 60k but we’ll see.
Nice. I love the interior. And I love Wagons!
As a current 2017 CX5 owner I really like the look of the CX50….except for the cheap plastic cladding. I realize that the 2022 CX5 has the option of monochromatic paint but I really like the look and stance of the CX50. I would have liked to see more interior room and cargo space to reflect the larger dimensions. I will probably wait for the larger CX60/90 with the potential I6 engine before I trade in my current CX5.
I look forward to driving the new CX-90, hopefully it will be out by the end of the year or early 2023. The CX-60 will not be offered in North America.
@@andreaspencer9813
After watching videos of the new CX60 that’s not coming to North America, I think Mazda is really missed the mark with the CX50. The CX60 is a much nicer vehicle, in every way. The interior is Volvo like and in spite of having dimensions similar to the CX50, it looks larger. Is the I6 gas engine coming in the new CX90?
