Why would you say, "and why we got rid of it"? If you're leasing, of course you're getting rid of it, but then you leased another CX-5. Click bait much? I have a 2013 CX-5 with zero problems. All he really complained about was the seat control.
I'm so relieved that this was clickbait. 😅 My husband just found me a 2018 CX-5 and I was like, "Oh no, it actually sucks!"
Report for misinformation
I thought he had major problems with his CX5. I own a 2014 CX5 Grand Touring and I've had no problems minor or major with it for the last 5 years.
@Prime Artemis Would you share what the problems were? Glad that they took care of them at zero cost.
Actually if you lease you do have a option if you want to keep the car or just return it back to the dealer. If you want to keep the car you have to pay the remaining value of it.
I've owned my 2018 for almost 3 years and just ticked over 100K miles, no issues whatsoever. I do wish the seats were more supportive and at times it feels underpowered but it does most everything else very well. I purchased the car in January of 2018 with 16K miles, next car will most likely also be a Mazda
If only you could get the 2.2 diesel over there with 181bhp and 450 nm of torque.That is a brilliant engine for this car.
Have you had any issues with the cylinder deactivation? I believe there was a recall regarding an issue with the engine.
@@paulandres8979 I have not, dont think it covered my particular car and I've been to dealer a few times for service and never had them mention. I checked various sites also with vin. I'm at 114K miles now
I’m looking at used 2018 Mazda CX-5 and was trying to figure if it’s worth it
I don’t get the people who are saying it’s quiet though, like a Volkswagen Taos is 100 times more quiet than the 2020 cx5 that I have.
Going full circle, love the CX-5!
Had a 15' CX 5 and now we have a 2021 CX 5 Carbon Edition ... red leather seats , dark chrome, 2.5 liter eng , moon roof , etc . Absolutely love the ride , the power ... memory seats ... Bose sound system ... bought the car by texting ... no pressure ... Love it
My 2015 CX-5 also has that issue with the seat thing but it runs great especially for 140,000 miles
I have a 2018 Mazda CX-5 and it is a very excellent vehicle, the BEST vehicle I have ever owned!! 👏💜
I fondly remember the review of the 2018. I’ve been on the channel for a little while. Sad to see it go, but happy to see a new member
Best car I have ever owned. A point about the other vehicles you referenced. By far, the CX5 has the most cabin room and makes that room available for people. At 6'4", comfort behind the wheel is a premium feature. Add to that highway fuel economy exceeding 34 mpg, after 3 years, plenty of go off a stop which is important at highway on ramps...and you have a winner.
I have a 17 CX5 in the same color. Grand Touring with the upgraded option package which includes head up display, heated steering wheel and rear seats, memory seats. I have 43,000 miles on it. Replaced the original tires this past Tuesday. Runs great. No problem areas. Waiting on the 2022 redo. Great video!
"The seat is a little jiggly but so am I" hahahahha!
My 2018 CX5 Grand Touring has 90,000 miles with zero issues. Most versatile car I’ve owned. Even more so than my 2018 CX9. Btw my 2018 has the same seat memory and buttons as that 2021.
I just got a 2019 with 30,000 miles. How is yours been? Update please
I own a 2017 CX5 GT Premium with 42K miles... I love it! No issues! Drove it from Seattle to Raleigh and it was the best trip with this miniSUV!
2016 CX-5 GS, 2.5L AWD with 160 000kms. Changed both rear wheel bearings (under warranty) and the four brakes (pads and discs) at around 140 000km. All maintenance jobs done at the stealership and absolutely no issues! Awesome SUV to drive in Quebec winters ✌🏻
any rust? that is impressive with modern mazda's no rust
@@lewisbrazil5485 rust? Not a single spot and I am in Quebec, where they use a shitload of salt and sand on the roads in winter. They had these issues when the cars were built by Ford in Mexico pre-2012
I have a 2018 touring Red and I really love it! No complain.the luxury and comfort feels inside i will never trade my 18 and keep it forever!
just got my 2018 in gray color i love it so much also very good car very comfortable. team mazda for ever
OMG you have surprised me a lot! Exactly the same car! Nice one I'm after CX-5 right now and you have just convinced me that my choice was definitely right. THANKS!
Mazda makes excellent vehicles
rusty ones
lol
@@rc666 no that’s Nissan and Honda
@@joskjj3625No, Mazda usually has more rust, however, they are good cars other then that!
I just bought my 2018 CX-5 Touring for $17,200 at the end of my lease (residual value). It had 18940 miles on it, and I did all my oil changes (every 4K miles with Mobil1 Extended Full Synthetic), and kept it immaculate in my garage. Car prices have skyrocketed, and I thought where can I buy a great car in this great of shape for $17,200? I couldn't, so I bought it :) Love this car...zero problems, drives great, and I don't see a reason it won't easily hit 150K miles with proper maintenance.
Congrats on your new 2021 CX-5 Grand Touring...it looks gorgeous!
What was the MSRP of the car?
I had the 2017 Mazda CX-5 and I loved the way it drove. Only complaints I had were that the dashboard (the screen was also too small) wasn't loaded with more tech and the "leather" seats were very hard and uncomfortable.
lol, I was surprised when you say you wanted to replace the CX-5 and was not surprised the replacement was the almost same car..Good choice.
As the owner of a 2018 Mazda 3 Touring, 2020 Mazda 3 Carbon edition and a 2021 CX-9 Carbon Edition these are the most amazing price to quality cars out there. The mpg, the amazing quality, the luxurious feel they give, they're quite amazing. However with my dealer I DO have problems and they are very stuck up and hate when I have warranty issues. Even on my 2020! They will fight tooth and nail with me for something that's obviously warranty and say it's not their problem, pretty ridiculous when I've bought 3 cars from them
Mines at 22k and I don't have any issues like he did .. and that's with kids on board
My wife has 2019 Touring. About 20 k miles. Not even a single problem.
Just bought a lease return 2018 touring CX5 with only 12k miles. Got a great deal. Unfortunately a doofus let his shopping cart go in a parking lot and totally smashed the rear bumper. 😤. We got the white. Love the color.
How much did you get it for ?
2016 here. Bought in 2015, 6 years ago when my son was born. STILL running like a champ, no issues. Gotta agree with the seat issue, the seats arent the best, but man I still love this truck, my family has grown in it. Still tons of fun to drive, gas mileage is still great, we are just outgrowing it with two growing kids.
whoooaaa a 2016 and it’s still running well?!
We have a 2012 CX5 MAXX Sport. Owned it since new. It’s been very good. Have a good day everyone from Sydney Australia.
You just CONFIRMED it for me this is the vehicle I should get... and ohh bo, I am. TY for the review 👍🏽
That shows how much Mazda cx5 is a good car. I agree forever Mazda 👍
Hey there, curious about the switch from Touring to Grand Touring. Anything in particular get you to upgrade to the higher trim level after the 2018, or was it just to gove it a try?
Anyway, great vid, thanks for the info!
Good choice I own Mazda and they are amazing quality product and very reliable and I love the way it drives and very comfortable seating Congratulations 👍👍👍👍👍 let’s not forget it’s 💯%. Made in Japan 🇯🇵
lol
It’s a Mazda it’s going to be reliable regardless of where it’s made, made in Japan means absolutely nothing it’s just being xenophobic
Just bought a 2021 Grand Touring, same color, so glad to hear about the paint. I am still learning all the features. I have one question. When you raise or lower the power tailgate is there any safety mechanism that will stop it in case a kid tries to reach in when coming down. Or, when raising in a new spot, stopping it from hitting the parking deck top. The windows have one so if you have your arm out the window it stops. The liftgate is much heahier.
I hope that Panel behaves itself for the next 4 years!
Best of Luck with your new motor.
thanks for sharing your experience with cx 5. any comments on the infotainment screens? the new model has a bigger screen. there is a used 2018 cx 5 GT for sale near me. my only concern is the smaller screen. do you think the difference is huge since you have driven both models?
Enjoy your new CX-5! I really like your review because a pre owned CX5 may be in my future. There so many on the road where I live that dealers usually have a good selection to choose from. Given wher I stand I probably will be considering a pre owned 2017-2020 in a few years. I am glad that are trouble free. I have a question about the paint color, if not the grey & red how does the black, white and silver paint hold up?
I own a crystal white pearl 2019 CX5 GT 2.2 Turbo Diesel and the paint is very nice, car is outside and under a tyvek car cover most days - 20,000 Miles / 32000 Kms - will be with me for another 2 years. Excellent performance and better fuel economy than the turbo petrol.
I just got the red with white interior I love it 😍
I drive a 2018 CX5 today (first time driving a Mazda car) and overall it was pretty good. The interior is a little...dated, the seats were comfortable though. The transmission seemed a bit jerky when coming from a stop, but the speed is definitely there. A good car overall IMO
What’s ur preference?
Wow, what was the trim level you drove? Because every major car reviewer, consumer reports, car guru, and others say how high end the interior is and if you didn't know it was a Mazda you were sitting in you may think it's a luxury European car.
And the transmission shouldn't be jerky. I'm so sorry you had a not so great experience. I love mine and bought it based on the reviews I saw.
You are not imagining things. The 5 speed transmission is one of its worst traits imo.
I’ve had my 2016 Mazda CX-5 Sport for 6 yrs just recently rolled 100,000 miles
My 4th Mazda cx3, cx5, cx9, and cx5 again. Love Mazda. QUALITY AND COMPORT AND ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES ONE NEEDS!
Love my 2021 Grand Touring in white 😊
Congratulation.
How much did you got before tax? I am going to buy cx5 touring or GT too
I completely expect to watch maybe 1 min of this. But... you're entertaining. Keep it up man
Was at a Subaru dealer recently to pick up my partner's Gen 2 Forester and I casually mentioned to the service advisor that I had a newer Mazda CX-5 and he had nothing but praise for it and thought it was mechanically better than the Forester. The CX-5 has a 6-speed transmission which I like better than the CVT on the Forester, and doesn't have the ridiculous engine shutoff the Forester has that kicks in every time the Forester comes to a complete stop. The Forester does have a softer ride, but the CX-5 feels tighter in terms of handling.
How you noticed a difference in how the seat feels between the 2018 and the 2021? I've been reading in the forums that the comfort of the leather seats have changed after 2019...that they are firmer now. I have a 2021 and I feel the seats are very firm.
They do feel firmer but we moved from fake leather to real leather. My parents also noticed the seats dont get as hot from the seat heaters in the real leather seats as they used to in the fake leather. A full review of the 2021 CX-5 will be available on my channel on May 25th!
@@ShootingCars The seats are a concern for us as well., but we're about to pull the trigger on a 2021 CX-5. Any updates you can provide? Have the seats softened up? BTW, I did a double take when I noticed the lic plate frames, looks like we go to the same dealer!
@@billystack I have a 2020 CX-5 Signature. It has Nappa leather seats and they were a bit firm at first but perhaps not as firm as the Mazda's standard leather. Gradually they will soften as the leather naturally breaks in from repeated use.
@@GizmoRob176 thanks. We ended up with the Grand Reserve and are really happy with it. Give me a beep beep if you see a light blue cx-5 with after market roof racks driving around town.
I'm curious what your thoughts are on the infotainment menus. Everyone seems to agree the screen is a lot better, but I've seen people say the menus are more difficult to use compared to the old system.
I’ve put 20k miles on my 2019 in the past year! Absolutely zero issues, currently has 37500 miles.
Just bought a Grand Touring AWD CX-5 without the turbo last week. So far, we love it! Glad to watch and read all of the positive reviews. I think we made a good choice!
How many miles to fill up your tank Micheal Gabriel Thankyou in advance
May fav color on mazda is also blue. It looks good and unique.
It is beautiful with the Parchment interior!
Best car ever. I talked my brother in law to buy a 2016 cx5 I have own 2 cx5 a 2017 and a 2018 . I have the 2018 cx5 grand touring in Mecca blue with the white leather interior omg it’s beautiful love my car
Great review🙏🏿
We love our 2017 cx5...we leased it, then we bought it. 1st lease buy out out of about 5 previous leases
I have almost 42k on my 2018 cx5. Changed the stock toyo tires at 37k. Will need new rear brakes in the next 6 months. Other than that, 0 complaints
Update ...needed new brakes and rotors at 43k. Rotors get rusty inside. Horrible
That Dark Blue Is Super Nice 👍🏾
I have the 2018 and thinking 2021 is in my future. I absolutely love this car
It's sleek!!
They sound good when pushed hard...deep growl from the dual exhaust ...sounds like a V6 truck....cool engine.
They don't really have dual exhaust. There are two pipes coming out of the muffler.
We had a 2014 CX-5 grand touring and traded it in 2016. We absolutely hated the seats, they were very uncomfortable for long rides and we did a lot of traveling back then so we got rid of it. Other than that it was a good vehicle
I have a 2018 Grand touring and my biggest grip with the car is the seats. Very uncomfortable.
@@irandoosty gripe
I had a 2016 and it was the worst car I have ever owned.glad I sold it for a toyota
I'm planning on having a 1 yr lease on the CX5 since there is an upcoming inline 6 engine next year
Mazda is going up market! Would not surprise me if the new CX5 is $3K more than this generation. Just like they did with the Mazda 3. Cars are rapidly getting out of reach for a lot of people.
Where did You get information on how thick the paint coatings are on the Car?
I just bought a 21 and I love it! Only thing I will say is I only get about 260 miles in range after filling up not sure if anyone else’s is the same. Other than that i love it!
I know what you mean but the fuel gauge isn’t so friend. If you look at the total gallon when you fill up to full, if it’s probably around 10-11 gallons. The car have a 14.8 or 15.3 gas tank capacity so if you think about it, the extra 3-4 gallons before empty can get you another 100 miles.
Thanks for this review. I am wanting one of these in the worst way. See what people who have actually owned/leased one is great data for my research.
We have had a 2014 and now a 2017 Mazda CX-5.. Both are the best cars we have ever had 0 Problems....Fun to drive also...
Zoom Zoom...
Thank you !! Great review
I borrowed my neighbours 18’cx5 gt and she filled the tank before hand. Once on the highway. I reset the trip and was getting 7L/100kms. But after the 400km trip, I filled it & it only got 9L/100kms. I’ll have to see if she filled it all the way. Also her trip 2 was 3,000kms and showed 13L/100kms. Mazda needs a hybrid option. I really thought the projected digital speedometer on the windshield was safe and cool. The lack of Apple CarPlay & Lane Keep Assist was a minor inconvenience. The leather seats looked cheap.
Had mine almost 4 years, 21000 miles and haven't had a single problem.
I drive the cx5 diesel. The torque is addictive, great fuel economy, great handling and so far no issues. Love it.
Planning on buying the 2017 cx-5 , hope they are also reliable?
Is it a lot more to lease higher trims? I’ve never leased, the reason I ask is because all I ever see is lower trims or the sport model for lease?
What do you think of the arm rest? It seems kinda small and hard to actually rest your arm on it.
Agree. I also have a CRV and it has real arm rests.
I have a 2018 CX-5 GT , 30k mileage . Traded in a 2005 6 , both bought new. No problems, have had Honda's & Acura's also. Probably keep this car for many years.
We just got a 2019 CX-5 Grand touring in the different color mica blue which we love also and it had 41k Miles 1 owner lease trade in from my town. got a super dealer asking $ 26,998 with tax title reg in my state of Connecticut makes it $29,799 dollars out the door. With a 3-year 100k miles powertrain certified warranty. We love this car. Has the bose apple care play and no issues with the 2.5l non turbo and 6 speed trans all made in Japan. BLK leather interior is so nice and clean
Just bought mine , obsessed.
Thanks for sharing this nice video. Interesting for me cz I just bought mazda cx5 2021 model nd Im happy to own it. Godbless nd family
We did the exact same thing. Dealer gave us a ton for our 2018.
Why do you think the blue is a better (thicker?) paint. I have the blue on my CX-30 so I hope you're right but I'd like to know why. Thanks.
From what I've read, the paint issues seem to be on the Machine Gray and Soul red. I didn't see many people talking about the blue, white, or black. This is just going of forum and Facebook posts!
Thanks for the cool video 😎
I just purchased one of these in July I haven’t had that issue yet and I have about the same amount of miles well it makes me feel relieved to know that doesn’t sound like there’s much wrong with it
When I was a tech at a Mazda Dealership we noticed a few times that plastic cover getting broken like that. Every time it was caused by the operator/driver. Usually people who are short. They slide out of the seat which puts pressure on the panel. Or because the seat is too far forward and as they get out their feet kick the bottom of the panel. I am about 6 foot and never had that issue getting in and out of the vehicle.
yea right its all the users fault, how abt make them better so that they don't come off. What kind of retarded opinion is that. Mazda have engineers dont they, they shud be able to fix a simple effin problem,.
We just test drove a CX-5, grand touring reserve. Loved the car but after watching reviews I’m not sure about the infotainment screen. Is it user friendly?
To me they are, but they are no longer touch screen which some people do not like. The software is decent, the Mazda navigation is not good, but if you use apple carplay or android auto you’ll never notice Mazda’s system
Just wonder do you have any issue on the deactivation cylinder?
I just bought an '18 GT in soul red ♥️ and I love it. I also invested in a touch up kit
Wonderful review man! I was worried at first but I’m glad to see you still love the CX-5. I am looking at the CX-5 or the 2022 Civic Sedan Sport. I know they are in two different segments, but they are practical, reliable and fun. Does the CX-5 provide a “fun” enough drive, or should I go for the Civic?
My 21 cx5 gt non-turbo isnt exactly a racecar, but its not a slouch either. I dont have any issues pulling out into traffic and getting up to speed, i get 25 mpg city, nice ride, nice build quality, nice grocery getter but it aint gonna soak panties
Funny, I'm looking at the 2022 Civic Hatch myself as well, along with the CX-5. I'm a big Honda fan, especially after owning 3 civics and putting 400K miles on my '93 Accord. But Honda reliability ain't what it used to be. I would be careful.
@@JimMontanus I agree. With the AC condensers and the oil dilution issues, Honda isn’t as reliable as it was.
Gotta say I was never a mazda fan untill i bought a 2016 mazda cx9 signature. I got it with 7k miles and 3 years later it's at 260k Miles on factory engine and transmission. Its help up really well only main problem within cosmetic is the wheels. Paint faded and is chipped
260k in just 3 years!!!!??? I've been looking for a used cx5 and I keep seeing these with very high mileage! Are you guys all meeting up at the same Mazda cx convention!? 🤣
@@taylarogers313 🤣. That's a helluva lot of miles in 3 yrs. Many yrs ago I had a long commute and would put 40k + /yr and thought that was awful. Can't imagine 260k in 3 yrs. Yikes. Did he ever get out of his car????
I got the 2014 Mazda CX-5 GT AWD with 55k miles and still loving it. Thinking of upgrading to the new CX-5 turbo or CX-9 Turbo. What do you think?
Both great cars, only real difference is size! Cx-9 has 3 rows of seating, cx-5 has 2
Stay away from turbo.
@@MarRon97656 Why is that?
My mom did the exact same thing a couple of years ago. Traded her 2011 Buick enclave in red for a 2017 Chevy traverse in red
Good luck on future engine repairs. Keep the "oil life %" above 30 or it'll blow under 100k miles
I bought a 2014 Mazda CX-5 the first with the sky active technology in 01/13 it was their top of the line Signature model. I recently traded it in for a 2021 Mazda CX-5 Carbon Addition. The new has a lot of more features and is quieter in the inside, but the biggest plus is the turbo engine. The real surprise is I paid about the same for both vehicles $31,000. How does Mazda 8 years later sell me a better equipped CX-5 for the same money? Mazda for the money is the best car line on the market. The CX-5 is my wife’s I am waiting to see if Mazda will come out with the 6 in rear wheel drive with the inline 6 cylinder engine. If they do I will be first inline.
I had a 2014 Mazda 6 and it was the best car I ever owned. Was going to buy another one but was turned off by the cylinder deactivation.
Same here! I got the fwd version as they don’t have it in those models, only awd , (vice versa previous 2 model years)
I didn't like how they changed the key fob to the newer style fob. I liked the old one better
How’s the non turbo 2.5. About to buy same car. Any info appreciated
I have the same 2.5 non turbo in my Mazda 3 as well as of course we have it in this cx5. I love the engine, I’ve never felt like it needed more power and gets good fuel economy! I’d say go turbo if you really love driving and driving a car in a sporty manor, but otherwise it’s not necessary
@@ShootingCars I agree. 2.5 NA is more than enough power!
My 2017 just hit 40k miles has issues with the electronic parking brake. Seems to eat the rear brake pads super fast and the rear bumper under the taillight popped off some clips so doesn't line up perfect with the body. Should've got a RAV4...
how is the deep crystal blue mica thicker? curious cuz i have that color
I purchased the carbon turbó edition. So far I have not seen another one on the road. Makes me feel unique
I bought a new Mazda in 92 95 2011 and 2020 , my wife drives one and I drive the other. First 2 had over 200 thousand miles on them and all I ever did was put a half shaft in one because my wife hit a few deep potholes. I changed plugs in the 92 at about 120 grand in the summer , but it didn't need them. the 2011 has 75 thou on it and the 2020 has 5000 I love both of them , especially the 2020 cx5 . I am an old man and it already saved me from an accident , I started to change lanes ,safety beeped and light came on and I stopped , guy went past me , after hanging on my bumper for?
He makes a great point at about 6:10 about getting another CX-5. I had two consecutive Mazda 3's of the same generation - a 2014 and 2018 - and I have NEVER done that before (I've been owning cars since 1986). My 3's were also a Touring-to-Grand Touring step up. I now have a 2019 CX-5 GT Reserve and not one competitor makes me want to leave it. Mazda has a magic to it that I hope they don't lose. I was a Honda driver for 18 straight years because they just had that something about them; then they lost the plot (and regained it recently, but then also dunked their head in the CVT/economy turbo bucket, so I'm not quite interested again).
I had a 2015 CX-5. I got rid of it and got a 2022 CX-5. I also looked at the RAV-4 and the Forester. I went with the CX-5 because I like it better.
Great cars
Great job!
I would have thought that at 20k miles, the bumper to bumper warranty would still be in place and you could have had the seat trim replaced. Just picked up a CX-5 for my wife and she loves it. I will agree on the thin paint. Be sure to get some touch up paint and keep it handy.
The seat! It happens when I was at 20k
KM and that’s the only thing I’m disappointed about CX-5😂
You leasing it again? What was the deal?
Im torn between mazda cx5 or corolla cross hybrid 2021 please help
what is fuel conscumption when you,are going 100km /h autoban?
We're at 50k on our '16 and so far it's normal maintenance. We aren't hamstring with lease milage limitations. I will agree the soul red paint is not durable. It looks great, but can't (rock) chips like crazy. Mazda needs to use German paint. Our replacement will be bigger, think CX-9/Telluride/Grand Cherokee...
My brother used to do same with Civic
doesnt bumper to bumper cover stuff like your seat plastic thing? since it a lease and you returned it, they'll fix it before they sell it as pre-certified..
No. Bumper to bumper is only for big things. I had to pay for my seat clip in my 2015 mazda3, and I had the seat cushion replaced because the stitching went bad. Originally they were not going to warranty the replacement as it happened in 2017. The seat cushions are only covered for 1 year.
