You both look incredibly youthful for a couple who's been together for 25 years! Congrats; here's to 25 more 👍

[kdsewell]

Congratulations on 25 years! That's amazing and you both look wonderful 😊

Bought the CX 5 premium plus over the 50 . Just liked it better and it's just my wife and I so don't need the extra room. Made in Japan fit and finish.

We have the 2024 S preferred trim in gray. Love it! The simplicity of the interior and awesome exterior looks caught our attention. Love the base non-turbo engine which offers plenty of power and sporty drive.

I have a CX5 Signature. I sat in the top spec CX50 and immediately knew it wasn't as good as the CX5. The CX5 also has better driving dynamics. There are certain things about the CX50 i like, but I wouldn't choose it over the CX5.

[nickrgeorge]

Just got mine last week, identical spec to this video. Absolutely love it!

25 years? Did you marry when you were both 10 years old? 😄

After 8 years of leasing three CX-5s (loved them all), I decided to go for a CX-50. It definitely feels like an upgrade. Compared with my 2021 CX-5 Signature, my 2024 CX-50 Turbo Premium is peppier (despite having the same engine), rides better (it takes bumps and potholes more in stride), and is quieter. The only thing I miss is the 360 cam (available only in the Turbo Premium Plus, which my dealer didn’t have). It would be wonderful if Mazda would make it available as an add-on accessory (at least a front cam). Aside from that, I couldn’t be happier with my CX-50!

25 years yay!!! Boy they look like they just go out of college a couple of years ago!

I have a 2024 CX50 TPP. Changed out the tires for Falken Wildpeak AT Trails in 245/50/20. I had a 21 CX30 TPP. Both times I chose these over a CX5 Signature and I have no regrets. I just like the exterior and interior of these over the CX5. The CX50 is sexy and rugged looking. I can’t say that about the CX5.

I drove one and ended up getting an Outback and here was the main reason. I am 6'3 and the seat doesn't go back far enough and the roof felt low. I loved the way it looked, but I could not get enough leg room And the seats in the Outback seemed way more comfortable. Just didn't fit me, but they are pretty cool.

I remember reading that the CX5 outsells all other Mazda models combined for the last few years.

I have a 23' Preferred Plus and I LOVE my car! Recently had an Altima as a rental and it felt like I was driving on balloons! Couldn't wait to get back into my Mazda.

[jimcabezola]

Oh! Congratulations on your 1st quarter-century! Wishing you much aloha and many, many more quarter-centuries to come!🥰💞

[mdshonkkc]

I've driven both the CX-5 and CX-50 as loaners when my '15 Mazda3 is at the dealership. The CX-50 is way more fun to drive! The new Mazda seat belt chime is true torture. You definitely have to change your routine and buckle-up before hitting start!

It’s so crazy watching your videos and some older ones and seeing how fast your little girls grown up!
Edit: and caught an attitude (from her dad)

2022 CX-5 37 MPG on the highway. 18k miles, and my 6th Mazda. Love them. CX-5 show a 8k diff in dealerships and the CX-5 is plentiful on the dealership floor compared to the 50.

[thg]

The CX5 has a higher quality interior, less hard plastic (rear doors, front door pulls, dashboard). The fake vents and lower roofline compared to the CX5.

Some people dont like the black stitched strip on the seats.

I’ve got a 2023 CX-50 Meridian. Had it almost a year and love it. A truly great CUV

"I mean that in a good way!" Nice save, Micah! Have a great day, Muzio family!
