    I’ve had my 2021 Carbon Edition for about a year now…let me tell you, it’s a fantastic machine. The red interior exudes luxury and the driving as he mentioned is exceptional. I threw a hitch on it and it tow’s my 350lb motorcycle around like a breeze as well. Very, very capable machine. I plan to have it for ten plus years.

    Mazda CX5
    Pros: made in Japan; reliable transmission & engine; very good NVH; decent AWD for on-road conditions'; good mpg; optional turbo - but still plenty of juice without it in a 2.5L; great driving dynamics and ergonomics; a whole lot of bang for your $; lower maintenance costs due to better parts & assembly quality from Japan.
    Cons: Crappy infotainment and periodic software bugs/glitches; good dealerships are rare - use OEM parts and independent mechanics.

    I guess I was surprised when initially looking at consumers reports recommendations to see Mazda was there because of all of the other big boy companies dominating the market. Yet it seems those big boys have had some major fails. The only experience I've had with Mazda was a 1990 Ford Probe which I was told was a Ford body on a Mazda chassis. That car was great and now I know why...Mazda. I am seriously leaning towards a CX-5 or maybe one of the sedans. Well done Mazda!

      @jhuman1074 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've only had mine for a week. I haven't found the perfect seating position yet. Feels like seat cushion is too short and I'm sliding forward in the seat. I can raise the front of the seat but that seemed to trigger some back pains. The seats are not uncomfortable, but I'm still trying to find a better position for my legs. I'm 5'11" with a wide frame. At 6'1", you need to spend time in the seat to figure out if it will fit you before you drive it. Because especially with the turbo (carbon edition), once you drive it, the competitors in its class that I have driven feel like garbage. You will love the driving feel.

I like the width and find it attractive and functional and although I have other complaints, my experience isn’t yours. I feel the console center armrest is too low. I am disappointed in the firmness of the seat bottom cushion. And I wish there was a grab handle for the doors so I can hold onto it during long drives instead of laying my arm on the horizontal door armrest. I’m sorry you are feeling confined in your CX-5. They will rectify that in the next generation

Where does toyota 4runner, tundra, prius, honda cr-v, rav-4, subaru forester and hybrids go!? See the used market yourself for these vehicles and you will find out if CX-5 has depreciated least. I hate when these companies give biased and false information like this. Don’t fall for this video.

That continues in an Emergency Lane test by Consumer Reports that has the Envision 2.0T doing 55.5 mph while the CX-5(non-turbo) did 54 mph and the RDX 2.0T can only go 52.5 mph.
    For 2019 Envision 2.0T gets a new 9-speed and 295 lb-ft of torque, 316 lb-ft of torque on overboost. The twin clutch and torque vectoring AWD is something that Mazda cannot match only able to use brakes on a single on a wheel for torque vectoring. The Hiperstrut, as also seen on Honda Civic Type-R as dual axis strut, eliminates any torque steer under accleration. At a discounted $35K the Envision Prem ll offers heads up display, adaptive high beams and articulating HID, adaptive cruise control with full stopping, tri-zone climate control, sliding rear seat, 12-volt outlet, along with Buick's longer warranty than Mazda.
