For anyone wondering, to put windshield wipers up on any Mazda. Push the wiper toggle up twice after shutting vehicle off. This will position the wipers at the top of the windshield where you can then lift them off. I do not hear a single valid reason for selling or being disappointed. Not fair to make a video bashing a smaller manufacture attempting to bash a well engineering & designed vehicle.
He didn’t bash anything he simply told you what he didn’t like about it and I happen to agree with him 100%,I have a 2021 CX9. Signature series.Like the car a lot other than it uses 1 quart of oil within 2000 miles and Mazda trying to tell people this is normal well there is now a class action lawsuit telling people if they have a certain year and model with such and such Vin # they will replace faulty exhaust valve oil seals. That’s the last damn thing I want them to do is rip apart my car I have absolutely no faith in the stealership whatsoever nothing zero zilch my car only has 22 or 23,000 miles on it so I think I’m just gonna trade it in, it’s things like that that keep Masda right where they are. I wanted to be a fanboy, I bought it brand new and here we are.oh they also got caught falsifying crash, data, and a whole bunch of other things like HP rating torque ratings and things of that nature along with Toyota. They both had to do a public apology.as well That’s pretty pathetic.
We bought a phev cx90 2 weeks ago. We love it. Sorry to hear you’re not happy with yours. The gas engine is their proven 2.5 4 cylinder shared across many Mazda models and in combination with the electric motor provides plenty of power. We’ve barely used any gas in 200 miles of city driving in normal mode. Prior to purchasing I drove the new Grand Highlander and the new Pilot. They were boring compared to the cx90. And after the current $7500 Mazda lease rebate, those cars would have been $10k more. If in 2yrs we want a change, we turn it back in. But my guess is we’ll buy it. We bought a level 2 charger- one unexpected plus- my wife hates going to the gas station- but seems to enjoy plugging the cx90 in daily (we sometimes skip a day). No mess, just easy. The design is beautiful and the quality of materials is so much better, particularly compared to the Grand Highlander. As for quirks, I don’t mind them but then as an rx7 FD owner it’s par for the course. Drive one, you will not regret it. 😊
They do look good and build quality is top notch. The lease option does make it more attractive but glad i didnt go that route as I would be stuck with it for 2 years.
Can you give us your lease details
I did not lease, I purchased before the Lease deals were out for the PHEV, in hindsight glad i did not lease because i got rid of this car.@@Verzula
I looked at a CX-90 and considered a hybrid one before it was released. After seeing the dismal interior space we were completely turned off. The interior packaging is horrendous. We would be going from an Odyssey which is cavernous compared to the CX. Our top choice currently is the GH. We don't need excitement in our family car.
Average mpg on the highway??? That’s what I’ll be driving most
Your list is trivial... but you're allowed to enjoy whatever car you want.
We bought out CX90 PHEV roughly five months ago. When searching for a hybrid, because the EV infrastructure was not up and running, we searched among the commonly known brands of Honda, Toyota and yes Nissan. We are Nissan people but we decided to give Mazda a try. When the CX90 PHEV was released we did significant research watching car reviews on TH-cam and ended up knowing a significant amount about the car before buying it. We took advantage of the $7500 off by leasing the vehicle and then purchased the car by financing it. It’s a gamble going with a manufacturer that is getting into PHEV for the first time with this powertrain but we gave Mazda a chance. We have used the car as a daily commute and long trip vehicle and it has not disappointed in terms of mileage performance and interior features. Sure it is not a pure electric car but if your commute is less than 26 miles a day the car in Normal mode (not only EV) saves on fuel week to week. On the highway the regeneration of power for the battery works well and extends your mileage before having to fill up gas again. Those are wins in my book when you see the piece at the gas pump.
The technology inside the vehicle is great including not having to touch another screen in the car and be distracted when you are driving. I have no issue with turning my car off to fuel the car and yes the power on gas only is a bit underwhelming the interior space is comfortable for kids and adults with three rows.
My purchasing decision was based on longevity and workmanship as well and Mazda has really stepped up from their previous vehicle to fight well in this market. They are not fighting with the luxury brands but when you sit inside of one of the higher trims you could argue that it is just as nice as a luxury brand.
Overall happy with the vehicle and not a Mazda operator in the past. The best part of the vehicle is how quiet it is in the cabin and how the family can listen to music or have a conversation at highway speeds. Mazda has really impressed me and I wish they were more well known for their quality and workmanship.
I’m a sales rep at a Mazda dealership and I’m sorry to hear that you returned your PHEV, but it seems like your sales rep did not go into full details with you. The range is in fact 26 miles with people reporting slightly more. The range is contingent on accessory usage and driving habits just like every other PHEV. It is NOT recommended to constantly charge the battery to 100% as it will deplete or shorten your battery life. 80-90% is fine as you’ll get a range of about 22-24. You can also choose up to what % you want your CX90 to charge up to. You also have an option to adjust the regenerative braking from low, medium, and high. The car comes on medium from factory. However, I set it to high before any customer takes a PHEV as the braking on high feels the same and actually benefits you more as your driving range will deplete slower. Unable to refuel while the car is on is just to keep you and the car safe. It also prevents the car from giving you a misleading gas mileage range. Plus it’s like a 15 secs process, are you that much in a rush to fuel up that you can’t wait an additional 15 seconds? Lol
The PHEV is a heavy car, it’s going to feel heavy, it’s normal, it has huge batteries on top of an engine. I truly find it hard to believe that you did not notice how heavy the car is during the test drive. Also, this isn’t a Tesla, adaptive cruise control is not meant to be fully autonomous or autonomous enough it to handle passing in corners. They want you to be paying attention to the road at all times, hence why the steering wheels vibrates when the car senses no driver input after 30 secs or so. You can also charge your PHEV without even needing to go to a charger honestly lol. There’s a button next to the shifter that has a battery logo, with a car and a lighting bolt on it. If you push that button, the car will start charging the battery as you drive on the normal engine. So realistically you can charge your PHEV without even going to a charging station.
Now as for the touch screen, yeah I get it it’s annoying. But they did that for safety reasons. They don’t want the drive to be focused on getting to a specific screen while leaning over to get a better look at the screen. Your hand rests directly above the turn dials and it’s a lot easier to navigate the infotainment system once you get the buttons and turn dials down.
Thanks for the reply. I knew all of things you just said. It is still a horrible SUV IMO... Maybe its good if all you know is mazda ? 🤷♂
@@premiumoctane93 so if you knew all of this why did you get the Mazda? Literally makes zero sense 😂
Also, you insinuating that all I know is Mazda just shows the type of person you are. I’ve worked at Audi and BMW so I know just how well this car stacks up against its competitors. 😬
@@chrispalomeque2528well said. I respect everyone’s opinion but it doesn’t make sense to compare vehicles in different class/category such as the adaptive cruise control vs full self driving.
P.S I also JUST know abt Mazda LMAO
@@premiumoctane93it is NOT a horrible SUV, you have a horrible attitude. Seriously, complaining that you have to plug it in, when it’s just fine if you never plug it in. It will act just like a regular hybrid. Using the word horrible to characterize this vehicle is beyond the pale.
Regarding NOT charging the battery to 100% - that is the first I have heard of this for the PHEV (I bought mine a month ago and am still regretting not keeping my 2022 CX-9). Is this in the user manual or on the Mazda website? I feel like there are many of these facts that were not disclosed when I purchased mine. This is our 14th Mazda, so we are huge fans of the brand however this the first Mazda we've owned where it feels not 100% well thought out.
Nice to know that you do not have any serious reasons to sell off to dealer after a month and half. I am seriously looking into phev trim in future
If you must do a PHEV go with a different brand you will be disappointed if you go CX90
Mazda are well built and rank very high in reliability. But you have to get used to some of it's quirks to really love this car.
I guess you weren't listening 😂
@@brokeboy87 this one no because the engine WAAY too complicated
@@jimmyjames6318He was, he saw the same soft reasons for turning in the car many others did. Buddy is free to feel however he wants. But his concerns for hating the car seem overblown. Nothing he shared turned me off this vehicle.
Of course you’re nitpicking. First point, THINGS are not annoying, they just exist, and then you/we choose to respond to them in a way that makes us feel annoyed. That’s a fact, so you have to own that.
Second point, you most certainly do NOT have to plug this car in every day. In fact you never have to plug it in at all. It simply gives you the OPTION of plugging it in, and if you do it you will be rewarded with 26+ miles of electric only driving. For you to choose to plug it in, and then complain that you “had” to plug it in is just disingenuous, to say the least. The car will run just fine without ever being plugged in. Looking at this further, I have a Prius PHEV, and plugging it in actually adds about 2-3 seconds to my exit routine when I do it.
Most of the other issues are similarly ridiculous.
You’re a character, bro. Take some deep breaths. This is an awesome vehicle built by a manufacturer who actually takes pride in the products they put out. They are car people. They love driving, and the balance and agility across their entire product line speaks to that. Their vehicles are also very reliable. I’ve had 4 Mazdas and they have all been rock solid reliable.
I own a premium plus PHEV for almost a month now and we are enjoying this car so much. This is our second Mazda in a row. We can live with these trivial things as you mentioned. I don’t think that in EV mode the hp is in 200s. They must have passed the quality control.
Omg the title is click bait, i was almost scared because i just purchased a cx90 and loving it, but after reading why you didnt like it means im good.
I bought my Turbo S PP in September and absolutely LOVE IT. Have had zero problems, drives so smooth. I don't regret my purchase one bit.
The only thing I agree with 100% is the shifter. The first time I saw it I gave it a massive thumbs down and I hope that Mazda redoes it and gets rid of it completely. Maybe even make it a recall item and get rid of them retroactively! But I digress. This gentleman isn't really a Mazda customer, though. If he is cross-shopping a Mazda SUV with a Tesla he was obviously attracted to the looks and not much else. That's fine. But considering that Mazdas are better built than Teslas I'm pretty sure that fit and finish and build-quality aren't at the top of his list. As for me, I would never buy a Tesla. While I respect the amazing technology that they come with, they are poorly built and that would annoy me way more than putting wipers in service mode.
Taking 15 seconds to plug it in is “inconvenient” for you? You leave your car running if it’s hot or cold out. Wow! You are lazy!
It is important to do research before geting into a vehicle, im surprised you did not, must of the issues you have are usual things on a PHEV, I owned a 2023 grand cherokee PHEV and a 2023 bmw PHEV, things you mentioned will be a constant in these cars too, but it is part of the package. I have a 2023 tahoe diesel and will get 32 mpg great family car maybe you can give it a try.
I would say maybe 3 of the complaints were specific to the PhEV
Dude complains about not being to use touchscreen and the range of the battery. Did you read the specifications before buying it?? Because this isn’t news, is your fault you buy it before knowing basic specs
Junk
How can the adaptive cruise control be turned on by default every time you start the car. Doesn't make sense.
I loved this car when I test drove it today it was better then the fully loaded jeep Cherokee summit it was amazing
I have had my Mazda PHEV for 2 months. I will say remembering to plug in can be a hassle sometimes, but I still get about 28 MPH with just normal mode. Car is enjoyable on a long drive, and you can get really good MPH when you utilize the charge mode at certain points. Definitely not a vehicle that you can just jump in and drive, it does take some thought to get the best from this car. Good Luck on your next car!
28 mpg is terrible; I get 45 MPG in my Ford Escape PHEV when my EV battery is depleted and I'm in pure gas hybrid mode
@@user-iu8zj6md9tFord’s reliability is terrible so good luck with that buddy.
@@matthewjavierrn actually they developed their HYBRID system together with Toyota, and are arguably the most reliable hybrids on the road, with their original ford escape hybrid generation from the early 2000s often outliving their prius counterparts from the same time. Some companies make good AND bad products, quite typical actually; no company produces pure gold nor pure garbage; Ford's hybrids specifically are gold! even though some of their other internal-combustion vehicles are garbage
@@user-iu8zj6md9tyou realize that your Ford Escape is a compact SUV? Just to point out the difference, the CX-90 is a full-size crossover, more akin to the Ford Explorer - that in its hybrid trim also makes around 28 mpg.
@@user-iu8zj6md9t and you drive a compact SUV and the Mazda is a full size 3 row SUV that 28 mpg would be decent even without the batteries when comparing to others of the same size/category. 😐
Have you considered a non-plug-in hybrid? You fuel it just like a regular gas vehicle and get 36mpg combined (2021 Toyota Sienna, so in your case it would be the Highlander) and never plug it in.
The point of these 20-30 mile range phevs is that you never have to plug it in. It recharges while driving on long trips. To plug it in every day is really goofy unless you really need the cash or something.
Adaptive cruise braking in corners with a car adjacent/front is what you shouldve been taught in drivers ed, or disengage cruise. Mazda builds basic driver safety into their cars. Same with shutting off engine while pumping gas. Same with the touch screen operating when parked. Same with shifting left into park.The wiper thing is more high tech than youre used to, it positions wipers up when you hit the stalk a couple times with ign on only. You didnt buy the flagship to get the memory mirrors and steering column. Bad hwy mpg for a 5000 lb suv at 28-30 mpg... then you jump in your Bronco. The 'we' references the whole time seemed either odd or telling.
You kinda are (knit picky) but that is up to you. Question is what is next?
May go back to a Tesla Model Y but the Performance model this time otherwise I might try a Lincoln Aviator (non hybrid)
Good luck with the fit and finish on a Tesla - you might have got lucky with your previous one. I had a deer hit mine and I had to take it to an approved repair shop and it took six weeks to fix. In the meantime I had to rent four of the six weeks and after it was “fixed” I had water egress issues - another ten days to sort that out. No thank you!
the Mazda is better in the materials / build quality department I will give it that.@@steveroper194
The adaptive cruise control can be switched to “normal” by just pressing the cruise control button a Second time
And that will disable adaptive cruise ? That is very good info.
I have a 2021 CX9 signature and really like this car, I would much rather have a naturally aspirated V6 not a Turbo fan!however I was going to trade it in for a 2024 CX90 PHEV,or the equivalent CX70 hybrid, I have also been annoyed with the lack of a touchscreen and no blue tooth in a 50,000+ vehicle thank you for saving me the headache unfortunately I now gotta find something with no nonsense options I just want to get in and drive without thinking about it, the park in that car is an accident waiting to happen just plain stupid I don’t want to shut my car off in the freezing cold or sweltering heat to refuel and I lift my wipers every freezing winter night anyway thanks for posting
Even though i disagree with every annoyance you listed, it comes down to personal preference and i respect that.
Appreciate the honesty and good to know there's nothing serious with the car in my books
great ,where did you sell it so we can get it on discount as a used ?
Better off buying a new one at the price they have it listed at ! www.woodhousemazda.com/certified/Mazda/2024-Mazda-CX-90+PHEV-d297a3c80a0e0a9a194f21834b64a3b2.htm
I had a 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy and that too has the windshield wipers you just can't lift, but have to put in service mode. Good luck trying to do that first time. It was super annoying in the winter or even when I was trying to clean the windshield.
We have 22 Volvo XC60 PHEV, and 22 Jeep Wrangler 4xE PHEV and we plug in every night, super easy and rarely need go past our EV miles when driven. It’s all about needs and wants, we can use our EV miles for daily commutes and weekend errands and let the gas kick in for a road trip. We love it!
The acceleration is decent in normal mode when gas engine and electric motor work in tandem.
PHEV recommends premium gas. With regular performance will suffer.
My point was I was rarely going to drive the car in combo mode and mainly daily it in EV mode and in EV only mode it is under powered.
Quite frankly it’s fine in EV mode as well. If you have a lead foot then Sport mode is MORE than adequate.
@@QuarterSwede depends on what cars you are used to driving , twin turbo v6 with 400 hp and tesla EV for me. the cx90 in phev or inline 6 form isn’t even in the same ball park:
@@David_Journey There is mere 4HP difference between premium and regular and torque stays the same.
Fair review, but didn't really see too many dealbreakers in the list. Sounds more like a poor fit for your situation versus a bad product.
I appreciate the time you took to make this video and list all the cons. Thank you.
What about the 455hp Volvo Hybrid? I loved my test drive of the XC60 and XC90.
The Volvo has been out on the market for several years, would be a way better option but it costs quite a bit more.
@@premiumoctane93 that’s what we have and it’s great but you still have to plug it in to enjoy it usefulness. That isn’t an issue for us, we have 2 PHEV’s and love them for duality. EV for daily commutes and errands around town and gas for a road trips to my family. Just gotta do what works for you. Glad that $7500 helped in the sell back tho
WOW, that was fast. Hopefully Mazda can improve with the CX-70 in the future.
Look at other reviews, his is the first I have seen with this spin and his concerns are the same ones people do not count as deal breakers. He seems the anomaly here.
Was the 2nd row cup holder an issue? I can’t believe that passed any kid test. It barely holds a 16 coffee cup.
I've owned a bunch of new Mazda sedans and hatches over the past 20 years and I thought this review was fair. I didnt even know about the windshield service mode or ready for fueling light so thanks for that. I definitely know about the touchscreen and i cant inderstand why Mazda doesn't at least give the user the option to enable touch in the whole system. I just can't figure out how you "sold" it back to the dealership without taking a massive hit in depreciation that most new cars sustain when driven off the lot.
Lost about $8,000, it was that bad that I wanted it gone !! Back in a Tesla now and will recoupe most of that with the $7500 tax credit from the Tesla.
bro really…… just stay with tesla.
What are the better vehicles?
If you must have a Plug In Hybrid 7 seat SUV and your budget allows I would be looknig at the Volvo XC90 and Lincoln Aviator. For me the best option out there would be to go full EV and get a Tesla Model Y !! You can now get a $7500 point of sale tax credit taken off the price, this could get you an amazing EV for low $40k range.
Like a lot of people here, i bought one and for the most part like it. It has some quirks and nanny features really piss me off regardless of what car. The refuling proceedure is 10/10 stupid and im working on a way to bypass it. Yes there are tons of better SUVs but for the fit and finish you get, this one is well priced. Wish the screen was bigger too but i dont mind the knob UI since im personally not a huge fan of touch screens in cars although the mazda screen layout could use some updating. Hopefully most of these issues can be fixed with over the air updates as most of my problems with the car are software related. Overall i like it so far. But id buy a model x if i could afford it
I dont like touch screen i prefer knob and voice commands as it keeps the touch screen free of finger prints and looking nice and clean
How much did you lose selling your car back the dealer? I'm still enjoying my CX90 Phev.
Alot
The lack of storage space is the biggest issue…
Welp.... was about to comment on your other video and then saw this. Currently have a CX90 PHEV in the garage on an overnight test drive, and despite being a Mazda fanboy, zoom-zoom, this thing is not even close to a Model Y... Bigger than a Y, but has less practical space than a Y, especially legroom... and with the captains chairs, unusable with 3 car seats... as with the third row up, you can't even put in a stroller.... and OMG.... the engine sounds horrible... Looks like Model Y it is... Love our Lightning though. =)
A car review from someone who thinks he should be refueling a car with petrol while it’s running. Lol, bro, you’re nuts.
Why not rent the car for couple days on turo before spending 50k plus. Going for like $120 a day
Thanks for the helpful video.
$7500 rebate plus $2000 CX-9 to CX-90 lease migration plus a $1000 Mazda loyalty credit = Me getting my next Mazda 😂
Ive got many of the same issues plus a few more but im 6 mos into ownership and mine wont charge above 22 miles at 100%. So many little things could be so much better, and i think the biggest problems for me was that the sales people didn't know enough about it at the time of purchase
I'm considering a CX90. A few questions for you. 1) what percent have you been charging it up to? 100%, 90%, something else? 2) how deeply have you been discharging it? 0%, 10%, something else? 3) could the colder weather be a factor in your reduced mileage? Batteries typically don't like the cold. I'll be curious to hear if the battery performance stays low after return to warmer seasons. 4) the battery should be under warranty. Have you taken it in?
@@isuzu14bit’s more than likely his/her driving style that is causing the 4 less miles. However when it comes to MPG and tracking mileage usage there are many factors that take into account that can add or subtract mileage like how you mentioned the weather, hence why some people get more or less than posted.
Right now Mazada offered a CX-90 PHEV Preferred and gave me the $7500 lease credit, $2500 lease to lease credit and the $500 Mazda Loyalty credit. $2000 out the door drive off, $415 a month including taxes… what do you all think about that deal?
lol someone wants to leave the engine running while adding gas… and boldly lists car not allowing as a drawback… maybe you should find out why the manufacturer spend money on that feature.
I know why, still a pita
Have you tried a Toyota Rav4 Prime? General consensus is that Mazda is just inexperienced at delivering a refined hybrid experience. Their transmission tuning also needs work.
Selling back to dealership. You will take a big financial hit. Are you a real buyer or an add for Tesla?
I took a $5k loss. It was that bad of an SUV.
Damn. That took a u turn. I have premium plus but never owned a Tesla, so maybe I am ok with few things that turned you off with cx90. Do let us know what are you getting next.
Might go back to a Tesla Model Y but the Performance model this time otherwise I might try a Lincoln Aviator (non hybrid) We really like the previous Ford Explorers we had so this would just be a more luxurious explorer.
I got minds on Friday 12/08/23 and I wanted to return it the next day. I tried to return it on Tuesday 60,000 on Friday they wanted to give 47,000 today on 12/12. To much little things that don’t make sense. I’m coming from Acura MDX.
I feel your pain , I paid $55k for mine and got $47k after two months
All i can say I loved my. Mazda.. i will trade when it dies 😊 but its fun to Drive..
I’m not taking a $7,000 hit for a car I’ve owned 2 months that has been in my possession maybe 2 weeks. We have a Tesla’s model 3 since May that has had no issues. We love it. I’m thinking about a model Y to replace this CX90 but we would be all electric other than kids cars. We have a lot of trips that are 200-400 miles for sporting events. Knowing that would you recommend we go with a model Y long range. We live in Missouri so we do get winters with some extreme cold snaps once in a while.
I am guessing you saw I replaced my Model Y with the cx90, I definitely prefer the tesla for in town but did not like the charging stops for longer trips. So If you are patient and can deal with the 30+ minute charging stops when traveling longer distances then the model Y is the one to have. I am actually looking at picking up a used model s that still has unlimited free supercharging and under $25k so I can score the $4000 used EV tax credit.
😂 lmfao
Omg dude.
14. A/C On with Recirculation On = Max A/C
i am planning on doing the same thing as you. Take it back Mazda, pls take it back.
Such a bad SUV , good luck
@premiumoctane93 there's practically zero ev range in the winter. Unsuable. And the 180hp gas engine is just anemic to haul that big heavy suv.
@@hoverpilder1905 agreed, glad I got rid of mine before I had to deal with it in the winter.
How much of a loss did you take selling back to Mazda? 10k+? Why not sell it private party
$7k, no one private party was going to buy it when they’re are tons of brand new sitting on the lot
Only number 15 is kinda legit, most of the other stuff is non trivial
How about Hyundai Ioniq 5?
I have not had the chance to drive an ioniq 5. I did get to look at them at the auto show a few months back and I did not like the storage space and layout compared to Tesla.
This Guy!!!!
I have had my Cx90 phev for a month...I would have said I love it, but I am only getting 19 of estimated 26 miles of electric. That is about 25% less than I expected and really need given my (fairly short) driving requirements. I know the range is an "estimate" but this is WAY under the estimate---I am not happy--should have asked for a different car
How fast are you driving? Driving the speed limit I easily get more than the 26 mile range.
Drove to work on the highway the other day driving 5 miles over the speed limit (65 and 75 mph) and got 27 miles.
my Ford Escape PHEV, epa range for EV mode is 37 but I usually get 45; EPA mpg estimate is 40 mpg, but I usually get 45+ mpg
@@sheldonduffy9442 dumb question, but if you use the 26 miles on a roadtrip, does it just burn gas at like 20 mpg or does it get better mileage than a pure gas engine because it is hybrid?
Thats why you TEST drive and Research until the cows come home.. I will say this was informative.
How did you go about selling it back. I’m done with mine. Non-stop problems. Mine has been in dealership for most of the time I’ve owned it. I have many of the same complaints as you and a few more. I’ve had the hybrid system malfunction warning they do not know how to fix. The cruise control in turns does that with mine plus 2 other CX90 loaners they have given me. This car is beautiful but it’s a turd otherwise. I find EV only very underpowered and my range with charging to 90% is now at 21. So it’s like no range hardly.
Well unfortunately it is just taking it to the dealer and asking how much they will buy it for. I lost about $7,000 in equity after 2 months so it wasn’t cheap but I hated the cx90 so bad I couldn’t fathom continuing to make a payment on it.
@@premiumoctane93 Mine was in shop for 3.5 weeks for the unintended braking and they would not let me take my car back. They ultimately put a new ultrasonic sensor in saying the other had foreign matter on it but the vehicle still does that and so does the loaners they gave me. This vehicle has so many issues I’m up to 20+. In addition to the 3.5 weeks they have had it almost a week now cause of the hybrid system malfunction warning which they now admit is a programming issue. But they had it a week before, did not fix it, and now it’s a week again. Ironically many of them he issues I’ve had exist in the loaners. I’m in a turbo S MHEV now and it has slammed the brakes on me while backing out of our driveway twice. But there is nothing behind it and my driveway is not steep. I’m now convinced these cx90s just suck. They spent all the R&D on making it look nice but the technology is horrible and some of it super annoying. Mine is crazy and goes bath shit crazy for all kinds of things like vehicle in the blind spot that are not there. Put the car in park with the parking brake on to wait at bus stop and the seatbelt beeping won’t stop. Apparently with this car you have to have your seatbelt on even when the car is in park and not being driven.
this is no biggie. my friend's brand new 200k mercedes and range rover had more issues.
Hopefully, the highly anticipated CX-70 won't have most of these features. We shall see.
You should have realized you'd be plugging it in daily and your other nit picks tells me you didn't do your homework!
I found this to be a fair review and thanks for putting this out there for those of us who are considering purchasing this vehicle
2:00 adaptive cruise doesn't handle corners well. Lack of power in EV and combined modes.
I am curious how much you lost
I had to pay them $1k to take it back
@@premiumoctane93 that’s it? It holds value ok then
No I had $6k equity on top of that gone... I wanted out it was that bad@@BrianDIYChannel
People actually leave their car on when refueling?!?!
What about the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV?
I have not test drove that model so I cannot speak to that.
the only PHEVs that make sense are the Toyota Prius Prime, Ford Escape PHEV, and Toyota Rav4 Prime; they're the only ones that get a nice long range and good efficiency after the EV range is used
None of which are in the same class as this car.
You are comparting apple's to grapes ..
@@diablo81588 true, they're much better than this POS
Wow. People don’t want to “drive” their cars. I bet his wife kills all the spiders in the house.
I absolutely hate touchscreens.
Can’t lift the windshield wipers wth 🤦🏾♀️ little stuff like that would annoy me too
You hit ignition button 3 times (no brake), then up twice on the wiper switch. It automatically puts the wipers up for service mode. Lots of newer vehicles are starting to implement this.
Are you aware you look like you are sitting in the dark? Never watched one of your vids before so idk, is this like...your thing? I can probably list a litany of things I hated about every car that I have owned. I just get used to the car for the most part bc I know there's no perfect car and... Besides.... It's just a car.
Pretty much all 15 of that list are trivial and could have been known before buying the car.
lol, obviously you bought or plan to buy a CX90 and are just hostile that his points don't help your confirmation bias
I bet that cost you a few bucks!
Let’s just say it was my most expensive car payment ever ! 😳
Good luck to you - hope your next purchase goes much better!
A three row EV like Tesla Model X or Rivian R1S is incomparably more expensive. Why to compare Cx-90 to cars costing multiple folds more.
And comparing to Model Y with way smaller third row is not the same either…
You can buy a Tesla model Y for less than the cx90… and you can technically get that in a 3 row
The built quality is not there for Tesla. It’s fine to lease it but how will the body panels look in 10 years?
@@David_Journey I will give the build quality to Mazda over Tesla for sure
@@premiumoctane93tesla are unreliable too
@@mbenton6 no not really, just think of all the parts and systems in a PHEV compared to a full electric vehicle that can fail or need replaced ?
In general i don't buy the first year release on any car brand. Too many unknown issue to deal with, i don't want to be a beta tester.
Dude it takes less than a MINUTE to plug it in. You sound like a child.
The nitpicks are almost all 1st world problems, and of course it doesn't even take 5 minutes in to realize, without checking your channel, that this is coming from a Tesla fanboy.
You folks are really something else. Does every video have to be the lines of "this fuel burning car is so s**t compared to my magnificent Tesla"?
I am not a Tesla Fanboy per se as I have Porsches and Fords in the garage as well. For a daily non road trip car the Tesla is far superior.
I dislike our cx90 regret that purchase
I am super glad I got rid of it after two months.
U just lazy my friend lol😅
exterior is meh, the shifter is cheap looking
I have one also and it’s a pile of shit. I would not recommend this car to anyone I’ve lost complete power on two separate occasions thank god we weren’t on the freeway. It’s at Mazda as we speak. I’ve gone in 7 times cause the engine light has come on and they have no reason as to why it’s on. Mazda of America is most likely going to buy the car back
And the ride quality is terrible
I own a premium plus s cx90 w/ 10k miles. Its a pos. Spend your money elsewhere.
Lol
this sounds like a skill issue
Good choice. I definitely wouldn't have ever bought a Mazda, much less a hybrid Mazda. My only choice would be Toyota or Lexus, or just keep my Model Y.
Just curious, why do you say that?
Post ford Mazdas are rated favourably compared to Toyota/Honda for reliability. In fact Toyota and Mazda partner on a bunch of stuff these days.
You apparently don't have a clue about Toyota now owning 5% of Mazda or that Mazda no longer shares a single bolt with Ford! In fact, for the past 5 years, Mazda has either come close to, ties, or even beat Toyota in Consumer Reports list of most reliable brands... This guy is distinctly in the minority, and is ridiculously nit-picky! The best one is complaining about having to hold the fuel button for just a few seconds to unlock the fueling doors... It takes literally like 2 seconds.. literally nothing!!!... Anyone who has a hissy-fit over something so ridiculously trivial will likely never be satisfied with anything...
Every car is annoying when u don't know how to use...even tesla for non ev drivers. Im an android user, and Apple phones are annoying to me. Just gotta learn to use it on how they designed it. You come across like a whinny little kid!
junk car, cant give it away, more and more negative reviews. I have the phev and hate it. worst car ever, mazda failed hard on this car. have to take it in for all the recalls. Problems with the sensors, radio, gps, door locks and poorly designed interior just to start with....
Amen, I went back to tesla, simple fast and great tech
20 mile range? What a joke. Way to go Mazda. Good thing they have fanboys to keep them in business 😂
Didn't you investigate this before you bought it? Just saying
