Unbelievable that none of the other huge car channels here on You Tube never figured out that this is the actual concept of a car review. It is not the snapshot of a scenery drive in a new car with a talking head quoting from the brochure, it is this that has the useful information. This guy should copyright his execution- he really is on to something here. Love it

A quality naturally aspirated engine coupled with a NON-CVT is a refreshingly comfortable place to be.

Every time I see you giving high praise to a non-Toyota car, I get a big smile on my face and a huge sense of satisfaction - not because I don’t like Toyota’s, not because I know that Toyota is not the only company deserving respect, but for the fact that it proves yet again how genuine and honest person you are and you’re staying on the side of the truth vs playing brand loyalty at all costs 🙂

My wife is still driving a 2013 CX-5, 82K miles. No problems ever. I try to talk her into getting a new car since the CX-5 will be 12 years old in November, but she is not interested. She loves that car!

Love my 2024 CX5. Highly underrated. Made in Japan

I bought mine (non-turbo) 10 hours ago after watching a lot of reviews, including a prior one from TCCN. This one makes me even happier about my choice.

Mazda's attention to detail and their dedication to small updates are unmatched. Even as an owner of 2023 CX-5, I still noticed a lot of small updates they did for the 2024 model when I was at the dealership, for example the indicator/wiper stocks are much better dampened and feels more premium in the 2024 model, the stitchings are better to touch compare to the 2023 model (same trim), the door armrest is softer etc... Most car companies don't care about updating QoL stuff until a full refresh, but Mazda improve stuff constantly. The build quality on these CX-5s are fantastic, not a single rattle even when driving on washboard road and everything feels rock solid, cabin is well insulated, way quieter compare to RAV4, CR-V, Bose sound system is A-tier. For the money you pay for, this is a close to Lexus level car for sure. I love it!

Once you've experienced what it's like when this touch sensor on the door handles doesn't work, you'll quickly understand why Mazda sticks to buttons....it's the same with the foot swing sensor...to open the tailgate... comedy when you watch a BMW driver when it doesn't work....Mazda doesn't offer this with the CX-5 for a reason.
Great channel-I love it and follow it regularly...keep it up....owner of Mazda CX-5 2022 2.5L 194 horses AWD...greetings from Slovenija🇸🇮

Purchased my wife a CX-5 for all of the reason you pointed out in this video. A few observations from my daily use of the vehicle. First off...the button on the door handle is EXCELLENT and I love it. I have a car that has the touch sensor to lock and unlock. If you have the key in your pocket while washing it, it locks and unlocks constantly making it necessary to locate the key away from the car. No issue with that on the Mazda. Ours is a non-turbo and the fuel economy is really good for an SUV. My wife commutes in rush hour stop and go and regularly clocks 27mpg. That is REALLY good for sitting in urban traffic. On long highway drives, we easily get over 30mph. While it's not fast, it has adequate power. You won't win any races, but you won't have any issues getting up to speed in traffic or pulling out on a busy street.

The other gripe I hear a lot about is the multimedia control knob. In 2024, the screen is a touchscreen for Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto if you enable it. But once you get used to using the knob, you won't use the touchscreen anymore. My wife LOVES the controller. Having the controller and volume control right below your hand while your elbow is on the armrest is perfect.

If you like to do your own maintenance (as I do), Mazda has rewarded you again. No need to remove a bunch of screws and fasteners to remove a big lower cover. Mazda has a small access door you can easily remove and the drain plug and filter are right there. So nice!

We're very impressed with the car and plan on keeping it for a long time.

This guy is the best car reviewer I have seen.
He knows what he's talking about, and gives you information you need to know. Very thorough too.

[howardthompson]

Have a 2019 CX5 with now 57, 000 miles and we are loving it. Love the simplicity and the quality.

[rightlanehog]

AMD, You must really like the CX-5 because this is the third time you have reviewed one since you launched this channel. 😉😂 We can ALL agree the 42/20/40 rear seat is a highly useful feature which has disappeared from too many cars. Kudos to Mazda for doing such a good job with the rear seat.🙌🙌

[Linda-bocr]

I am a single mom, I have a Mazda cx5 and Love it. I have no idea what you are talking about but it sounds nice ❤

[blautens]

I've owned Mazdas since 1986, and the CX-5 drives like a Mazda. If you've driven Mazdas, you'll know what that means. It's not perfect, but in its class, to me, the driving dynamics are preferable. It's not the biggest, not the cheapest, not the newest, and others may top it in certain categories, etc, but it's back to the Mazda of old, and that's a good thing.

[LandenG]

For the cylinder deactivation and i-stop, they were never available on the 2.5 turbo in any model. They removed it from the naturally aspirated model just to simplify and consolidate parts... a very welcome change!

[dogsarefun]

Kudos to Mazda for eliminating start stop and cly deactivation!

[christianbryant]

I got to test drive one.. cross shop with a few others like the NX, X3, Q5, XT5. The CX5 drove just so nice and smooth. Had a great pickup and had nice little details at all speeds that made me really like the experience. Just the way it drove alone was amazing and very satisfying and special feeling. Definitely one of my favorites

[yiks]

The door button is priceless. By habit I double check the car is locked by pulling the handles. I can’t do that if it’s touch sensor, which would unlock the doors inadvertently. Old habits die hard.

[michaelqu]

The CX-5 looks more modern than the new RAV4 and CRVs despite being 3-4 years older in design. The CX-5 probably won't look dated until another 5 years later, it's looks was just designed well

The Car Care Nut decimates the competition. No one else even comes close.
