I have owned two CX5's, now (2015 and 2019), and have been very pleased with them in all driving conditions except glare ice, and I don't expect anything will do well on a road I literally could not stand on without sliding. What impresses me most about my current CX5 is the yaw stability. I can be going down an icy hill and stab the brakes and it will still manage the ABS in such a way that I can steer around the corner on that hill. Absolutely unthinkable in previous generation vehicles like when I was growing up. I learned to drive in a cars without ABS. Subaru Forester XT had my attention for a while, but poor long-term reliability and the fact that they discontinued it pushed me to the CX5 turbo in 2019.

Спасибо Вам за проделанную работу!Сколько смотрю, а подписчики всё не прибавляются. На бросайте это дело) П.с.: подписчики, пожалуйста, хоть кто-то, предоставьте на тест Акуру или Хонду с SH-awd годов 06-07😢

Went to the engineering test class with Mazda when I worked with them. They blew Subaru out the water with their AWD. Snow test and inclines etc. they don’t advertise it enough. They don’t advertise anything enough. Industries best kept secret.

We own a 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6 and a 2023 Mazda Cx-5 AWD. We live on a mountain where we need AWD as it snows in the winter and with a 15% climb for about 600 feet to our house, you don't get home with snow tires and FWD or RWD. However with good tires both cars are good enough to get home. The Subaru is marginally better in the snow, but the Mazda is acceptable. The biggest problem with both cars is the factory equipped tires when you buy the car are terrible and you get no traction at all in the snow. We learned with the Subaru when we bought it to replace the tires with at least Michelin CrossClimate or Goodyear Weatheready tires rated for snow (all weather tires, not all season) which get us home in the winter quite well.

In my country it is easy to work out which car is better off-road. The Forester comes with a full-size spare tyre. The CX-5 has a space saver. A real spare tyre also allows you to get home on a weekend when you are 250km away and there are no tyre repair shops. That is normal in my country. The Forester usually comes out on top in road tests when rollers in a suburban car park are swapped for real world off-road conditions. Despite having 4WD/AWD, some cars are never meant to leave the city.

A solid result from both when it comes to 4wd systems. In actual offroad situation the ground clearance as well as the lack of grip of tires will quickly become the weakest link. Personally from these two, I would go with the Subaru.

Good performance from Mazda. It's strange that switching the traction control off decreases reaction time

Now more and more modern crossovers are equipped with AWD or 4WD.But 95% of them could survive only a few minutes of skidding.Then AWD clutch get overheated and you remained with front wheel drive big useless crossover somewhere in a dirt, snow or icy ditch...Believe me I have enough experience with different type of AWD.But one day I've bought Subaru.I think finally I have found what I really need regarding AWD.
Channel is really interesting 👍

I love you Subaru. Getting my new 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Outdoor (Canadian version) tomorrow. Woohoo! 2.5 boxer engine in it! 🥰

[veselingramatikov]

In terms of finding traction still - 1. Land Rover`s 2. Jeep`s 3. Subaru .So far Mazda did pretty good job here. Most brands doing pretty well these days. Also it`s worth mentioned that in terms of off-roading Subaru has class leading ground clearance in this segment. Maybe only European Dacia Duster get`s there in terms of ground clearance and approaching angles.

I like how you put tape on the wheels so we can see how many rotations it takes to get the car off the rollers. Can you test a 2020 Toyota Camry AWD? I bought one and I want to see if I made a decent choice or not. I have a feeling it won't pass the 3 roller test.

[Driftuner]

Wow, mazda really impressed. Did you try starting out in 2nd gear? For some reason mazdas awd seem to grip even better when starting on 2nd gear

[NoFearXJs]

Thank you ! Are you guys able to test the new 2023 mazda 3 hatchback AWD turbo ? It has the new upgraded iactive AWD apparently it can control torque output to the rear independent of the front I'm still unsure if it controls each tire separately....? Hard to find soild details even the manufacturer is not giving up the details....

[oliverwilliamson]

Wow, Mazda surprised me big time, I'm guessing it's using a Haldex system? It's definitely more than any CX-5 owner is going to need which is fantastic.

[Largeone]

I see more and more cars getting perfect results.
Do you think that the manufacturers have been shamed by your videos and are now stepping their game up! 😂

[pitersanok]

Zastanawiam się, czy salon Mazdy udostępniając CX-5 na test miał świadomość, że zostanie ona zestawiona z ikonicznie postrzeganym Foresterem? Bo jeśli tak, to naprawdę świadczyć to może o tym, że Mazda odrobiła lekcję w zakresie trakcji w CX-5 i przestała mieć kompleksy nawet w stosunku do Subaru, wystawiając auto na wspólny test. Nie ukrywam, że jestem pozytywnie zaskoczony tym jak radzi sobie obecnie CX-5 w stosunku do wersji sprzed kilku lat. Pozdro!

[sebastianbrzostowski]

As we see at the video with black Forester '17, Subaru has better results (last test) when the gas is not push so much as at this video 🙂👍
The same i saw in deep sand when i drove mine from '14 👍

Hi, do you know if the new e-boxer Forester has the same AWD sistem shown in this older model like the one in the video? I like the RAV4 hybrid, too but the system is not acceptable as I see in your videos. Shame on new Forester it doesn't have a spare tire and tiny 48 liter tank. What do you do if you broke a tyre on a off-road Street km's away from asphalt, in the Alps ? Normal repair kit is not enough sometimes and there is not road assistance coming to you. From a car with 22cm of ground clearance I expect a sufficient spare tyre. On the other hand hybrid RAV4 costs much more than the hybrid Subaru on used market (2019-2020) and I'm not sure the highway fuel consumption is so good for those hybrid Toyotas (battery charge will end soon or late). I'm reading in comments that Subaru seems not to have good long term reliability. Do you have some fresh reliability Info on both Subaru forester and RAV4? If you are out of warranty and want to keep the car as I usually do for years, if the hybrid Toyota sistem breaks down and you don't want to spend money to repair the hybrid part on a old car you only use the petrol motor and probably someone ECU computer expert can disable the non-working electric part, but in the case of RAV4 you will have only a front wheel drive care because of back traction is only electric. With Subaru the same reasoning is better because it has a real AWD also if the electric traction is "not working". I don't know if I explained my thoughts in a good way. A last questions, do you know the typical consumption of the RAV4 hybrid at 130-140kmh? And the Subaru? I know it's a lot of text, if you don't answer I will not be offended :)

[atracin]

Any chances of testing a third gen Forester? I'm curious to see how a standard pre-Xmode Subaru would handle the rollers. I know you have done another older one, but iirc that was an XT

[adventureforesterblog]

Any plans to test the e-Boxer Forester?
