Just purchased this exact Turbo model and I gotta say it is amazing. The refinement and handling are far above the other vehicles in the class. A few people say it needs a touch screen and I say no way! I find the touch screens very distracting and the Mazda interact system is easy to use. Stay classy my friend... ZOOM..ZOOM..
Our 2020 CX-5 GT has a touch screen, we’re picking up 2023 CX-5 Signature Turbo later this month (in route). The two model years have different screen size , the 2023 screen has lower profile vs the 2020. Would have liked wireless Apple CarPlay, but not available. I was wondering if COVID and the chip shortage was perhaps the reason for not offering it.
In comparing this with the RAV 4s and CRVs I definitely agree for the money power wise this would be my choice. Love that it has so much low end torque. Awesome review as always man!
The Rav 4 and CRV have a little more back seat and cargo space but if you don’t plan on putting people over 6’3 back there constantly, the CX-5 is more than enough. Driving dynamics wise, the CX-5 is in my opinion by far the best in its class!
I got this exact same car yesterday :) but damn bro you speak non stop I ran out of breath listening to you but I kinda like it coz you pack in all the information 😂
Have the same one, pleasure to drive. quiet + power + comfort + made in Japan + no cvt + has tranny dipstick + dual pane windows for quiet + no i-stop + no cly deactivation + bose sound.
Very informative driver's type review. Well done. Particularly liked the steering, gearing and short shifting explanation/ presentation. Confused by the slight dis of the transmission...seems like gearing and shift points are a perfect match to the engine, perhaps could be crisper? Clarify in the comments?
Everything about the CX5 looks great except the dashboard. Why are the dashboards still looking so old fashioned? I don't see anyone else mentioning this. Am I the only one bothered by this? Lol
Thanks for watching! Hit the subscribe button if you’re new and stay tuned for tomorrow’s review of the 2023 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring!
Drove the Turbo today and bought it. This thing is a little Beast!
Great review!

I thought it was a touch screen. But you could only interact using the screen when parked.
No not on the cx5 it’s actually a lot better for the vast majority of uses

Be happy with that auto transmission! It's one one the few sub that actually has a actual automatic transmission 😮

@1:13 How were you able to turn on the DRL's without the projector lamps turning on?. I am desperately looking for that to work on my CX5
You mentioned at 4:16 that BSM wasn’t in the mirror, where is it?
agree, please do that when you get a chance
Is this car has diesel varient available?
Can you do 2023 Mazda cx5 vs Toyota Rav4 vs Honda HR-v and CR-V vs Hundai Tuscon? Or is that asking too much? Lol
the transmissons are good spare me
Nice job dude man! Hey when are you doing a vid on 2023 Mazda cx9 thank you!
It’s the initial on throttle that it revs so much just to get power. I miss my 22 CX 5 naturally asp. so much 😢 hopefully will get it back today.
Hopefully man wish you luck! 👍🏼
you like the NA more than the turbo!?
Which do you prefer more this or the 2023 Kia sorento turbo model
Probably the Sorento turbo but only if it has AWD. The CX-5 is smaller but it’s nice to get standard AWD 👍🏼
@@WTFCRLT1 thanks for the info. My wife and I enjoy watching your videos a lot
You’re telling me that suppose to be top of the line with base rims from 2007?
Have the 21 grand Turing reserve love it can’t even compare it crv it rav4
Sounds like a sweet car man good luck with it!!👍🏼🙏🏼
I think the seats are uncomfortable. Too hard on your butt and back. Might still get one but will probably use a comfy seat cover.
I thought it was just me!
Nice review. I want one…now I just have to find one.
Come to North Carolina
what kind of name is WTF Car Reviews?
I wish I could get mine back 😠 my body shop just keeps lying to me
What's the main differenece between this and the regular Turbo? From experts and reviewers the Turbo signature is without a doubt. Overpriced.
25+ license plates? i can do 12 max
Sounds like my vacuum cleaner

You're right the dashboard looks like a bmw sedan 2003 my cousin used to have :D I like the minimalist design but it really does look dated.
Idk I like how simplistic it looks. Everyone has there own opinion though 🤷
I just can’t stand that it’s not a touchscreen
@@dlroto I hate touch screens and finger prints so prefer the dial which is really easy to use. Each to their own I guess.
