Been driving a CX-5 since 2014 - have about 112, 000 kms on it - absolutely no complaints - love our Mazda !

[MechTactics]

Just bought a CX-5 and absolutely love it! Got a great deal on a preowned 2020 FWD.

I knew the CX-3 intimately and LOVED it. Nimble, great on fuel and a cozy interior just fine for a family of four who don't pack for a 2 week trip, when they're actually doing a weekender.

I Love my Forester Touring with the Saddle Brown Leather interior.
It’s super comfortable and the outward visibility is amazing.
I like my wife’s Outback but I prefer driving my Forester more

Great video Shari, you really captured everything so accurately which years to avoid and which years are the best.
Thank you for this video in helping the car buyers.
Anyone who is in the market to buy a car should watch this video few times to soak everything in.

I was actually looking at Certified Preowned Mazda CX-5s and glad I found this video for reassurance.

I used to have Subaru outback and Subaru Forrester, they were really very good vehicles, but I was a little bit apprehensive about CVT engines after 100, 000 miles, in 2021 I switch to a Mazda, CX5, , just bought the base sports model, which had more than enough options than I needed, at a very reasonable price for a new car (27800US) Have close to 50, 000 miles on it today and it’s absolutely wonderful. I’m actually thinking about getting a 2024 but kind of hate to give up the one I have because it’s just a wonderful vehicle. Highly recommend.

Hi Shari, thank you for a bunch of great videos and advices! One more thing I'd love to see covered is choosing the first car for a teenager who just starts driving. There seem to be specific considerations, like active and passive safety, costs of repairs, resale value, etc.

Thank you!!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!

[bhvnsll]

Hi thanks for your videos and informations which is so useful, would you please test and make a video for the used Koreans cars? thanks

[monkey]

I regret thinking short term and getting an Elantra Hybrid over a CX-5, I’m happy with my purchase but in a couple years I plan on doing a cx-5(50 or 90) and Miata combo or Mazda6 if the refresh is worth it. Mazda is the best option right now if you want a driver’s centric car with good reliability.

Any more new videos on the Toyota Grand Highlander ?

[Vic-ikri]

After watching the CR-V coming in 3rd place and the RAV4 in 2nd place I couldn't imagine wath was going to be the winner but low and behold you deliverd it!!! Considering the market Mazda CX-5 has the upperhand, great car that's fun to drive with a great interior and well placed in first place.

I have a 2006 Highlander Limited with 303, 000 miles. No issues and have kept up with required maintenance.

I have been waiting for used SUV prices to drop substantially and will continue to wait. The newer quality used ones are too close to the original MSRP.

If I buying new today, I would go with only Mazda or Subaru.

[deshanchathura]

I am skeptical about Subaru Forester because most of the previous models are plagued with CVT issues

[canuckwineguy]

Always great content, i base my buying decisions on your recommendations, I'm looking for a smaller SUV and leaning towards the Mazda CX5 any thoughts on GT version turbo 250 hp vs 187 hp 2.5 L?

[paulrodger]

Which is fuel efficient, as I do 90% city driving ?

[HOON]

Foresters did not become reliable until the final year of the SJ generation. Earlier 2016 and 2017 model years were still fighting cvt issues. The first year of the SK gen (2019) also had problems. So buy 2018, or 2020+ if you can afford to.

[MrRainyCity]

Any reason the CX-9 wasn’t on the list? If it was, would your model year recommendation be any different?

[luvslogistics]

After overpaying for my 4Runner I’m only buying cars as close to $20k as possible or under.
