    Far better than any over rated German brands. Mercedes, Audi and BMW have lost the plot when it comes to quality, reliability and customer service. The aforementioned manufacturers should no longer be classed as premium brands. The only premium brands are Lexus, Genesis and top model Mazdas. My favourite premium brand is Lexus. Good review

    I jumped on the Mazda band wagon a while ago after owning luxury brands from Lexus, Acura and Infiniti. We’ve owned a Mazda6 Signature Turbo, CX-9 GT, a CX-5 Signature Turbo and my 6th Miata since 2001. For the price of a Honda or Toyota you can have the luxury brand quality at a much lower price. Mazda’s reliability is stellar too!

All systems work really well and the daily use is without miracles like in some today super Hightech, but faulty cockpits. I think its not particularly sporty with its 6 speed automatic and diesel, but excellent cruising comfort. Really happy so far. 👍

    Bought my 2016 AWD sport nav auto in 2019 with 22000 on the clock. keeping in mind lockdown, I have now covered 71000. Since purchace I have had to have both front headlight clusters @ over £700 each replaced and a complete set of injectors replaced (fortunately covered by the extended warranty) but at 66000 miles had to have a complete engine de-coke at around £1100 (not covered by extended warranty) which I am told is a common problem with diesel Mazdas. Dont know where they get their milage figures from but I get around 35 mpg with a mixture of motorway and urban, which I thought was quite good for an AWD 2.2 automatic. The car is a pleasure to drive but take my advice, if buying used get that extended warranty. One thing I will add is Mazda customer service is second to none.

  • @ConanCowley
    @ConanCowley 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Good review. I have a 22 plate Sport Black model. Have been really impressed with the quality (definitely on par with the premium brands), the standard tech (electric tailgate, sunroof, blind spot monitor, rear collision detection, camera and adaptive cruise control - never had the latter before and it’s gone from being a luxury to a necessity- motorway journeys are a breeze). Customer service so far has been really good. The only downside for me is power - the drive is great - however the 2ltr engine lacks power for such a big car - if Mazda offered more power or a hybrid model (fingers cross for the next model due in 2025 I think?) then they would be on to an absolute winner. I’ve never owned a Mazda before but I’m fast becoming a convert - audi, BMW, Merc and Volvo need to significantly up their game or loose more of the sector to this brand/model. It’s a very stylish SUV - have a drive, you’ll be very impressed.

    After my Honda CR-V was rear ended & badly repaired we decided to trade it on a Base CX-5. I found some weird omissions like omissions like no auto folding mirrors, no DRL’s, poor rear leg room & most importantly the 2.0L motor is thirsty ( I hired one for work ). For $2.5K more the CX-8 HAS THE 2.5L, motor more leg room & seats 7 which we didn’t need but have used. It’s not as sporty to drive but much better for the money. BTW I live in Australia so models do vary

    • @jimmy5634
      @jimmy5634 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The U.S. version of the CX 5 has the 2.5 liter motor. The folding mirrors are not relevant to me, but that six speed automatic real transmission is. We aren’t concerned about the rear leg room since we also have a Kia Sorento. The Mazda is for fun and if you want to ride with us you’ll have to “suck it up”. Actually, the leg room isn’t that bad if you’re six feet or under.

    I had a choice between the red and the Carbon edition, I chose the Carbon edition, to me it looked more manly. It is totally made in Japan and has independent rear suspension. The dial can be controlled by touch (at least US) . The thing I like the most is that it is dead silent in the carbon, quietest car I’ve ever owned.

    I recently got one of these, but in Mexico, where the top of the line model uses a 2.5Turbo engine, it gets 256hp and 320lb-ft of torque, great power, not so great fuel economy (but I don't care), as opposed to this one I got cooled seats instead of heated seats. The rest is pretty much the same as this one.

    Owned a 2019 CX5 Sport and I loved it, almost a perfect car. My only complain is the driver seat position (according to me) is not too much comfortable for tall drivers and the bottom seat tend to be a bit hard on longer drive than 200 miles. And even if not bad, fuel consumption it is not on par with competitors nowadays. I believe that Mazda should now replace the model with the CX50 (an updated version of the CX5 that since 2018 did not changed a lot) but a sale rep told me that in Europe there is not request for a bigger a more modern model! It seems strange to me but maybe he meant that they have still a lot of CX5 to sell...

  • @iheartmazda
    @iheartmazda 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I bought a CX-30 for the exact same reason: luxury interior, beautiful design & colour, and great value for money. The thing with German cars is, you notice a significant difference if you live in Germany. Mazda Engines here are down to earth, so no 2.5l turbo, while all German premium brands will offer some serious engine power. BMW, Audi, and Mercedes are built for the German autobahn. On a worldwide scale, it's an edge case, but going 150-160km/h in a BMW or Audi is a totally different feeling. They really sound deaden their cars, and you can whisper to your passenger and will be heard. The suspension will also feel less rough unless you drive in sport mode. However, I don't like that they still use so many hard plastics inside. There is also a huge difference in the price, which leads to the question: is it really that much better? I don't think so.

      I live in central Europe and was contemplating whether to buy one, but most owner reviews here state, that rust becomes a major issue within the first 3 years of ownership. I would be interested to know, whether the latest Mazda models received better anti-rust protection than their successors.

    Here's old Beemer guy who swpped to Mazda CX-5. My late dad had Beemer's from early 70's. Now bad quality, cheap materials and ugly look, all of them turned me off. Great engine, long travel consumption record is 4.5 liters / 100 km.

    I love this car but why such high road tax (£645)? Nissan Qashqai is £255 and the Skoda Karoq is £255. Why so high, is it because its emissions are high?

    Frankly speaking, where the heck could you find a NA engine with such high compression ratio, let alone the semi (that’s how I see it 😊) dual exhaust. Even the 2 liter gas version is pretty peppy for daily use. Mine comes with 19” distinctive wheel and I intend to upgrade the tires to 235/50 after the factory ones wear out. Mazda indeed makes very good car and because it’s not as big of a brand name as Toyota or Honda, it offers more value @💰 I owned 5 Bimmers, 2 Audi and 1 Mercedes in the past, Mazda does offer me more motoring pleasure for less dollars 😎

      Below two will also be made available later:

    Mazda does not offer blacked out lower window trim and emblems during initial order or as parts to order. 👎 Many people are vinyl wrapping but mor work and money. You should have the factory choice from the beginning.
