Review | 2016 Mazda CX-5 | Wanting for More

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2024
- The long awaited review of the Mazda CX-5, a crossover SUV with big hype in the segment. However, the competition is absurd, from the Toyota RAV4, Honda CRV, Hyundai Tucson and now the new 2017 Kia Sportage. Why would someone choose the Mazda? We drive the pants off this ute, look underneath and talk about the good and bad of the interior for what could be one of the more detailed CX-5 videos to date.

thumbs up..... first time seen a reviewer look under the car
bahhaziz
Welcome to geese nation
first video that I saw from you and immediately fell in love with the production quality. Subscribed
+Waqas Ahmed Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't know how you've managed to do it, but this one is even better than what you've done before! Myself I've not been a fan of Mazdas, but after watching this video, I plan on booking a test drive of the CX-5 to see what I've been missing.... you've done a far better job of selling this car than any salesman, any online review and any article I've ever seen on it. Congratulations on another excellent production!
+Carlos Choy Glad you liked this one. There are so many crossovers after awhile you don't expect much so it's nice when one brings driving enjoyment. Hopefully the rest of the reviews this year continue to improve.
Excellent reviews, man! No bs, no salivating over moonroofs, but one of those rare reviews where a guy who know how to drive a car gives you good and valid point that help with the car purchasing decisions.
Skyactive is that some cloud based thing lol Turbowski. You guys are the best.
LOL yeah a very DUMB answer hehehe :+))
these two blend well together, one is kinda technical in all seriousness, the other one is 'formally' humorous = win :-)
bbbbb
Ford no longer owns Mazda. That's why Mazda is more reliable now
QBert Ford investment only had a 33% "ownership" in Mazda !!! They did NOT own Mazda !!! But they did work together !!!
I had a ‘92 Mazda Navajo (2 Door Ford Explorer), decent vehicle. I got rear ended on the Belt Parkway, in Brooklyn, by some DB that just repo’d a car, his car was destroyed and steaming, as he backed off and left the scene, my Navajo, NOTHING, not even a scratch. Solid rear bumper was his disaster.
@@wilburfinnigan2142 They still used a shitton of Ford parts
@@L1pslide And conversely Ford still uses a lot of Mazda parts....and Volvo.....and Rover !!!!! DUUUUHH!!!!!!!!!
This review sold me on this. Purchased last week and I'm loving it. Your production is top notch, and the review style you have is sorely needed and much appreciated. I honestly feel as if you did me a service, and even if my car ends up being a piece of crap in the future, I would still feel that way. Thank you, keep on doing what you're doing, and if you ever need any audio production work, let me know!
i got this cx-5 just because of this video. same color, same model
zheng shuyu you should wrap the plastic bit in gloss black, to have a nicer finish.
yep im sold as well. tradin in the 6 for the cx im gettin older but shit what a review
You guys happy with your purchase?
Like to know as well :D
I might be doing the same, i currently have a Mazda3 2014 but was thinking of going to the Compact SUV market. This looks like my next car.
Savage Geese is the real American Top Gear. I thoroughly enjoy the cinematography, review quality and detail, and of course the commentary between you and Turbowski.
+Ornery Duck Haha that's a stretch but greatly appreciated!
Feel the same. I would even go further and say Savage Geese should replace Mr. Super Annoying Chris Evans. Its just physics :)
P.S.: Turbowski needs to join as well
That was a killer review of a killer car. Very well done. Thank you. Great production quality with a perfect focal width for the interior shots. The audio was absolutely perfect for listening to the motor and its shift points. I couldn't hear the lane departure thumps but didn't really care either. The concept is cool enough. I just got the 2016 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring FWD last week, and one thing I might consider pointing out is the overall comfort of the seats themselves. Volvo has the best and most comfortable seats out there, we own a brand new 2016 Volvo XC60 and it sure is an incredibly comfortable seat, but I would confidently say this CX-5 is just as comfortable as the Volvo, but the Mazda has a more durable leather surface better suited for families with cleats and bookbags and toys. Again, an awesome production and a great review for a great car. Zoom zoom.
I wouldn't have given driving mine in manual mode much thought, until I watched your video. You made driving it in manual mode look exciting and fun. Keep up the great work!
This video caused me to spend twenty thousand dollars. You are the Best Mr. Geese!!
Wow!! Really enjoyed this video - so unique and different than so many others out here on You Tube. An intelligent auto man. Appreciated the technical analysis. I chose this Mazda over the Subaru Forester - they were my 2 favorite small crossovers....but this one felt sportier and more upscale. Driving matters as Mazda says.
Scott is one viagra away from burning the shop down !!
lol great comment
I love how in depth your videos are. This video is going on 8 years and the quality and commentary all holds up.
My wife and I were in an accident last week that totaled my 2014 Mazda cx5 (bought used in October). Your videos have been a great way for me to compare models and determine what I want to drive next.
Your videos are just great. I never watch reviews of cars, trucks, and SUVs I'm not interested in, except on your channel. The content is excellent
due to your humor and automotive knowledge. Thank you and keep up the great work.
First video in and I can already see that this is a fun channel. Subscribed!
That intro was PRICELESS! Great review! 👏
Love your reviews. Keep it up and I love the subtle humor.
Thank you for a kick ass quality review. Great balance of humor and juicy details!
I just bought a CX-5, in red. I didn't opt for AWD because I live in a place where it barely rains or snows. That way I saved money on the purchase and will on gas too, supposedly a 2-3 MPG difference.
So far I love it because it really doesn't drive like an SUV at all. It feels more like driving a midsize car. The infotainment system is very intuitive and easy to use, just as stated in the video. I haven't put any donkeys in the back yet, but I did actually capture an internet troll and put him in the back. Even he loved it!
Thank you for your great videos Mr. Goose. Your video helped me narrow down what I wanted to test drive, and after that my mind was made up. Keep up the good work and congrats on 2 years making videos.
do you still own the cx5 ? how is it? still running good?
Now that is how a car review is done !!! excellent job , useful information in an intelligent and informed way. Tuned in to see the car info and found a new channel to subscribe to.
Great light-hearted, but technical review. Love the dry humor! Nice job! Thanks!
Great review mate. I have had my 2016 CX-5 for 4 months now and love it. Great channel. Subscribed!
Was not expecting to enjoy this review as much as I did. 👍🏽 good job with the facts and humor. Kept my short attention span from changing videos like I typically do
Man, I love your videos. So much sarcasm and dark humor. Cheers from Pakistan!
It baffles me that you don't have more subscribers. Some of the most insightful, honest, dry-comedy reviews on youtube. Keep up the good work.
very informative and entertaining review, keep up the great work!
It's very rare to be underneath a new car and still admire a lot. Thanks for such a passionate presentation.
This guy has to be the best auto reviewer on youtube. Simply superb videos.
Great video. Nce production and great review once again
Absolutely love your review. Bought a 2016.5 CX5 yesterday and wish I saw this first! Reaffirms my decision however. Thanks for sharing!
This is one of the best reviews for a car I've ever seen in my life. I will be getting this car for sure. Thank You for this
+Abraham Hassan Glad you enjoyed.
Amazing thorough review. It was extremely helpful. I just bought the 2016.5 Grand Touring yesterday and LOVE IT!!!!
do you still own that 2016 cx5. is it still running good??
Love the quality and the tone!! keep it up!!
I really like your review and I can tell you you're absolutely right with all you've said about that car! The sense of humor you guys are using for your reviews is just perfect and so far the best review of the CX5 so far...I have a brand new CX5 2.5 l since about 2 months and I'm absolutely happy with this car. Not too big and not so small and just perfect for the roads in Switzerland and so far nothing negative about the Mazda. I just love this car!
Love the review. It was fun watching.
Great review as always..big fan!
I thought this was a great in depth review, very descriptive and helpful in right areas
Great, honest and in depth reviews!!! It would be also good if you can show some details such as bulb accessibility e.g. Keep up the good work.
Bought a lease returned 2016 CX-5 after watching this video multiple times - absolutely love the vehicle so far!
i like the dead pan humor while giving you more info than most ppl would require
Extremely helpful review, thank you!
You totally made my day with the liftgate!! :-D
Great reviwer, thx.
Keep up the good work.
We recently bought one for my wife. Very happy with it so far. Only negative that I have noticed is it has bad blind spots, that make lane changes a bit nervous for me. The side mirrors are an odd shape, which seems to be part of the problem. I'm getting used to it, but...
Besides that it's great. Love the handling. Seats are very comfortable. Zoom, zoom, zoom!
Thanks for explaining the AWD system! I've had the 2.2 AWD Diesel version of this car for over a year and had no idea how the AWD worked - like the review mentioned, I've just never felt any loss of traction under any condition, including heavy rain with deep puddles at highway speeds. Good low-end torque from the Diesel, flat cornering (for an SUV), and great AWD all inspire confident driving (and loads of fun doing it). BTW, the entire review is spot-on.
Any plans on reviewing the 2016 Civic Touring (or any of the 1.5T models)?
Ken Feng I
savagegeese you need your own tv show, your car reviews are the best I have come across. Just bought the mazda cx5 for my wife and I found your video very informative. Its amazing that I pay hundreds of dollars for cable tv and all you can get is motor week which sucks. Your videos are A+ and better than anything comcast can produce, keep up the great work!
+Brandon Poirier Thanks, thats funny and nice to hear. There are so many people doing this however we'd be more likely to have an AM radio station show at 3AM. Thanks glad you liked the video and enjoy the CX5.
This review made me spend 22 thousand dollars
How does this guy not get more views?
+Cervelo R5 We have to do more click bait and probably girls in bikini videos!
and maybe answer questions in comments?
+savagegeese if I ever see Turbowski in bikini will unsub and report your channel
because the humor is dry and NOT funny?
He is very funny i had to pause just to laugh
Btw this is undoubtably the best CX5 (or any Car really) review I’ve seen... and I’ve seen most all of ‘em ;) Redline are excellent, but I love the undercard as well as dry humor won me over.
Good work
Very thorough. Great review!
We've had our 2016 for 6 years now and ownership has been absolutely flawless. The lower bolsters are wrinkled in the seats, but nothing has gone wrong on this car. Normally when the term is up we're ready for a new car but not this time. It's so good I sold my 21 Mazda3 Turbo hatchback and ordered a Miata Club manual. #perfectgarage.
Well done guys! Super impressive.
I am a big fan of your channel. Good information, and fun.
+Olga Borge Thanks Olga
Great review - easily one of the best reviewers out there! If I could get past the weak 0-60 (drive an '04 Subaru Forester XT now) this could be my next car.
This review helped me pick this car for my wife 6 yrs ago. I love the body lines and drive feel in the car.
Watched this as I'm interested in getting this gen cx5. It's nice to see how this channel evolved over time. it is definitely more refined now, but nice to see Mark's values and therefore level of genuineness have not wavered one bit. Keep harping on the piano blacks and touch-sensitive buttons until they stop doing it!
Great review, I'm looking into purchasing a used one and this is the most in depth review I've seen
David Klotz I just bought one with 55k miles and it's great. Fuel economy is good it's quiet the interior is nice and it's pretty good to drive. The only thing I'd watch out for is when you test drive play a bass heavy song on high volume. Some panels can rattle
Michael Taffe still running great?
Me thinks it's pronounced hex-AG-uh-nul vice hexa-gone-ul. Don't let that get you down, this was your best work yet.
One of your best car reviews. I'd like to see you mention the MSRP on the vehicles you review. Great to see the undercarriage of the vehicles and your comments; I don't know anyone else doing that.
brilliant review!
One reason for the plastic trimmed bumpers...a huge portion of these crossovers are used in the city, the painted bumpers typically get destroyed. That's why many manufactures use black plastic molding on the lower part of the bumpers to hide scuffs better and to keep it coherent, they carry the black plastic trim around the entire car. I remember seeing a video with some marketing suit discussing it
+T P Ok, what is the reason for the stupid plastic "fender flares"?
+Scott P For style points when you bagged it and drop it on the frame? Other than that, I can't think of a good reason lol
+T P Now you're talking. iBagz should be a option.
I’m in the marker for a used 2016-17 cx-5. This video is great. I really like how you went under the hood/car. I tend to do a lot of maintenance by myself so seeing how the engine bay is fairly open and the drain plugs, etc are easily accessible is really helpful.
I own a 2012 release model cx-5 (2.0 individual) and yes it's very easy to maintain almost everything is easy to get too. Only hiccup i had so far was replacing the serpentine belt. That's because you have to remove the wheel and a cover to get to it but still takes about 30min to do the job nothing major. Mine has 177000 km on the clock with absolutely no problems.
Thinking of trading in on a 2016-17 AWD 2.2 diesel because of the high mileage.
Don't like the interior of the newer model tho.
I’ve had the 2016.5 GT for a bit over a year now and I absolutely love it. I almost bought a focus RS the other day, but on the drive there decided this is just fun enough to continue to be an adult instead. It is not fast, but definitely handles and rides really well. The styling is awesome too...especially on the 2016. Would recommend to anyone who needs to adult, but also retain some driving enthusiasm
hey, Great review Man!
Love, Love, Love my 2016 CX-5. Thank you for the video!
you basically sold this car to me right now. love your analysis
why did i never think about the trunk like that. now i kind of prefer doing it manually
@savagegeese keep up the sense of humor. it's one of the things that sets you apart
Folding the middle section backseat is perfect for fishing rods!
I'm sold. 🤦♂️
the ending is soo golden.
I hope you can do a CX-9 review as soon as it's available.
+Ennio Cenko CX9 on list.
+savagegeese I'm really curious about the CX-9's performance...the engine seems underpowered for such a large SUV (something like 225 HP and 310 torques, as Top Gear would say). That engine in the CX-5/Mazda6 would be HEAVEN...
Good review, thanks
LOL the manual gate skit. How right that is!
Been looking at this vs the Tucson now that we have two little ones. Thanks for the review
+KONIENTZ we bought the 2016.5 Mazda CX-5. Got the GT in that dark blue which looks fantastic. We got it last Thursday. Just got back from our first road trip. Beauty ride
Love the lift gate review! Hilarious.
Great review. Subbed for more. I was in the market for a sporty SUV. Came down to this or the 2015+ Edge Sport w the 2.7 v6 w/ twin turbo. Ended up with the CX5. Edge was around 7k more but the torque was amazing and had a few extras the CX5 didn't have. CX5 is the best fuel efficient, decent sized, sporty suv. Thanks a million!
Nice vid!
I appreciate your point of view SG. I like the manual lift gate too. I have had one for years!
+kenander45 Glad you agree, manual lift gate so simple.
Great review! Thank you! Could you compare CX5 to new 2016.5 RAV4 Hybrid please!?
hahaha so funny man.....also that kids reaction @ the Christmas gift...priceless
Amazing information learned - Turbowski made complete sentences mainly focusing on access to the draincock.
Well i-played, Mr. Goose
Great review. I own the 2016 GT and low it to death! You hit it right on with this! Thanks for the laughs. Always enjoy watching your reviews!
Love*
Do you think it has enough power?
I want it to go ZOOM-ZOOM!
FYI, click on those 3 little dots on the far right to edit your comments.
+David Sellers yes for being a cross over suv. I have e taking trips in it already and it had more then enough power to pass people etc. I'm pretty happy with its performance being a non turbo four cylinder. Lol thanks for the edit tip I had a duh moment:)
Great video and beautiful car.
You guys are crazy! Entertaining............but crazy. Keep up the good work.
You make great reviews. Could you review the mbz gla 250?
i'm glad Scott touched on the un-painted body panels on suvs, i been bitching about that dumb trend ever since it became the norm the facts is painted body panels will always look better than un-painted parts period.
+Dee T Agreed, and it is easier to buff out minor scratches from painted surfaces. Some assalope vandalized my car by deliberately scratching up the plastic panel divider on the side window and I have been unable to completely remove the damage. It wasn't deep and would have buffed right out of the paint surfaces.
+DrunkBunny I'm sorry to hear that. but it's a trend that needs stop it's like the car manufacturers are moving backwards.
+Dee T I think it was a way for them to save a few dollars. Someone started this and when people didnt complain other manuf followed.
+Luis Coqui trust me it's not about saving money, it's about following a trend. it's like LED daytime running lights, i think it's safe to say Audi started that trend with the first generation Audi R8 and slowly other manufacturers started to follow.
Dee T Probably right another thing the paint tended to chip off these plastic parts as well. If the car is black it blends in. We have a white Cx5 and actually the contrasting colors dont look to bad. Ive think thats because i got use to seen this style by now my eyes have adjusted.
I like this video , thanks , first time I watched every second of a CX5 review.
I see you drive the car like manuel , shifting gears up and down , I have not used that maneul mode myself do you keep the acceleration on when you shift gear or you let go of the accelerator when you shift like manual ?
On a cx5(2015) I remember approaching a tight curve on a rainy day at about 80km/hour and the turn was smooth. I got nervous but car did well.
You guys are frickin hilarious....keep up the outtakes. Also really cool to learn about the AWD...oh sorry...".i-active unicorn sled driver". It is nice when your looking at FWD (hatch) vs AWD (CUV) the handling you can pick up - one of the reasons i like the drive of the a3 over the gti.
That 'cloud-based' thing made me laugh so hard holy shit
The entire segment with Scott in the garage is savagegeese GOLD!
The manual lift gate got me.
Well Done Due.....Looking forward for your review of the 2016 Subaru Forester 2.5i Sport (With the SI DRIVE, SPORTS MODE options).....
man, what an original you are! love the "shoppe" segment so i just has to subscribe to your channel. just so you know you can get a fully loaded version with a six speed manual shifter in Europe, now that's some zoom,zoom! my question is why is Mazda so very late in rolling out the new version when its competitors have been selling newly redesigned models since September of 2016?
I always thought that it was kinda useless to have a power lift gate on small SUVs like this and to see Mazda break the mold is quite amazing.
It's kinda useless on big ones too. Realize that you're not lifting that weight, they all have a spring or strut setup that does the work. A liftgate usually weighs over 100 lbs!
After watching this great video review ... I purchased one ... 👍 ...
scott is the reason why i watch the videos.
Awesome Review,! Actually the driver experience is the most important feel when you are behind the wheel, damn.. how good is feeling the engine sound moving over the gears.
+savagegeese When are you going to do a review for Subaru Forester :)
AWESOME job!!!! hands down one of my top two car review channels. please do one on Ford Edge
+Farhang Hessami Thanks man will try and get Edge.
