One thing I will say about Mazda is that metallic red is beautiful on their entire lineup of vehicles.
Glows in sunshine. Should be called “Ruby slipper”😉
It is beautifull indeed but highly criticized for being very thin and easy to chip. A real bummer...
It sure is a deep intense red but Sarah is right, I notice a slight orange peel in Mazda paintwork.
It’s easily the best red on a vehicle under $150,000
It really is their Miata of colors. It’s their signature color and it is definitely awesome.
Mazda has been great at paint colors since the 90s with the M-Editions. Sadly the Ms are gone, it really is a shame, too.
They do have a new, Carbon Edition color that’s also pretty awesome and is actually a tan color. I always liked the dark grey on the original Carbon Editions, too.
I hope your kitter is doing better. Lots of furbaby love and support!
The BEST car reviewer! Honest, consistent, funny. That's all we need.
Hope Ping is doing better. Love your car reviews and content!
I used to read Car and Driver back in the eighties, when practically every writer was an engineer, and that was the last time I saw car reviews this technically insightful. Thanks!
I remember that the kid down the street had a father who read Car & Driver and they were always in the living room on the coffee table. It must have been around 1966.
RIGHT?! And far better reviews too, just like Sarah now💯
Can we have a update on Mr. Ping Pong . Hopefully he's doing ok.
Inquiring minds want to know. Hope the fur baby is doing better.
"You hear that sound? That's how you know you're gonna get swamp ass". Another golden one liner Sarah! 😂😂 Excellent review as usual!
The white coat makes all the viewers subconsciously pay more attention...
I bet some are even taking notes! 😂
"Peeing on cones": now that is a complete instrument package. Love the reviews, Sarah.
Sarah is my happy place.
i hope mr ping is doing better i always look forward to your video
The fact you can use the gas engine to recharge the battery, that is great for those of us that don't own their own home and home charger.
Most PHEVs have this feature … it’s also great for long road trips when you can’t plug in
Unfortunately, NOT plugging in a “plug-in hybrid” totally defeats the purpose of paying EXTRA for a plug in hybrid. 😢
It just ends up being a tremendous waste of several (extra) thousand dollars on top of the standard CX-90 base price.
Been praying for both you and Ping. May there be some comfort for you in the midst of such a hard time.
You really are the best car reviewer out on YT. Everyone out there is boring. And you’re eye candy too. ❤
I really like this channel. "The tailgate looks like an early 2000s Ford Taurus station wagon." Nailed it.
Of all the car reviews I've seen, that is the first vehicle that has literally revved "VROOM!" 😂
Ha ha!! I know right?
No one does a review on vehicles like you… Love your blogs... Nicely done… ❤️👍👀
The door speaker is relocated to the cowl side, in a box under the dash. It's a feature in all new Mazda's since 2019 Mazda3. Makes the bass more punchy with no door rattles and you don't lose any sound through the door cutout. It can also play high res files (flac)
As a former owner of a 88 RX-7, my 2nd car when I was in high school back in the 90s, and a current Mazda3 awd hb owner, I'm happy to see Mazda stepping up their game. I drove an e90 for 12 years, and wanted a more reliable car that was driver focused and fun, so I went with Mazda. They're what BMW was in the 90s, a driver focus car. Just wish they brought back the Mazda6 and MazdaSpeed.
Mazda 6 Sportwagon, by Krom!
Have a 6. Want a new one. They need this cx70 engineering in a new 6
Over 5100 LBS!!!! Wow, the '73 Continental I had back in High School (longer time in the past than I care to remember!!) weighed less!!! But as always your reviews are top notch!!!! Hope Ping is doing better and hope you are coping well Sarah!!
A people say EV’s are too heavy. 😳🤣
@@mrh3085 My favourite example is the BMW M5 somehow being heavier than a Tesla Model X 😂
She's a beast
Nothing makes the weekend! like a beautiful review from our favorite Sarah!!!
My cat was super interested in the red pointer 👉🏽
Lots of thoughts of Ping, wishing him the best.
I almost heard Sarah go Project Farm. Steel skid plate “we’re going to test that”
I was never a fan of Mazda, except for Miata and RX-7. But it has been doing really well lately. I wish Subaru which was my favorite affordable car brand, could learn a thing or two from Mazda.
Some days are made better simply by hearing your voice, this is one of those.
Still in my thoughts and prayers.
How is Mr. Ping Pong.
I thought I heard a cat at 2:48, I thought it was one of my four. I had to rewind and play again to hear from your video.
Mazda always knows how to make a SUV.
I would consider buying.
Beautiful color. Like old school candy apple red.
Have a Blessed weekend.
Subaru, pay attention to this. Do a Forester hybrid like this since you won’t give us a damn turbo forester.
I appreciate your quality editing.
I've been struggling to keep quality up lately, I'm burned TF out.
@@SarahnTunedI’m burned TF out trying to follow you!! I can tell you love your people here but wow! Take a vacation woman. We’ll still be here when you get back❤
@@SarahnTuned 🐈❤🩹
Take a week off...no ones going anywhere and foresight is big when it comes to your health.
Always nice to see Sarah ❤❤
Thanks Sarah. Sending you and Ping best wishes.
I'm leaning towards hybrids.
Good comment about Mazda and Toyota working together. Absolutely agree.
I think the only thing Toyota could add is brand recognition and dealer support. Mazda seems to understand what a driver’s car means better than pretty much any other mass manufacturer at the moment.
@@dwaynepenner2788 Mazda probably wants the brand recognition and dealer support since it's only Mazda whereas Toyota can basically say if one wants better dealer treatment or whatever just go to Lexus lol
Your confidence is contagious!
Her pointer with the little finger: a precious thing (and effective!)
Recently got a CX-30 and absolutely love it. Definitely going to be looking at these when I need a family car eventually.
I’ve always loved that rich color. Reminds me of the color of the NSX you reviewed. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Stay Strong Sarah, you both are in my prayers .
I love that Mazda pays attention to detail with performance and handling. I like that they are getting more recognized by people here in the US.
It’s going to be a great day when I can start it out with a Sarah car review. 😊
I like the covers on the bottom protecting the cv shafts and stuff, your videos are getting better and better very informative love the added graphics keep up the good work
Absolutely love your reviews.
Review great as always. You and your cat are in my thoughts and prayers. Love from Rick
Hybrids make sense. With enough range to make electric mode useful, then having an IC engine for distance, this would be the perfect balance
Sarah, agree 100% on your idea of a Toyota-Mazda Supra. Never thought the BMW Supra belonged. Hope your kitty is better.
Well the Supra did introduce Toyota techs into the world of oil leaks and overengineering.
B58 > Skyactiv G
@@derrickdean7224 Yeah, the B58 is incredible with tons of power potential. I'm not sure why Sarah's down on it here.
I woke up feeling like crap probably because it’s been like 116 here in Palm Springs, but now I’m watching your review and smiling…..😅 thank you Sarah💯🙏
85 here 🇬🇧
Sarah is impressed with every braking test
OMG, thank you so much for the reply! You are amazing! Cheers!
I was hoping the CX-70 would be smaller than a CX-90 but larger than a CX-50. Instead, its a CX-90 with 2 rows of seats and costs pretty much the same as the 3 row version through out the line-up.
Is that so??? That's nonsensical
@@betteheadbettehead4800 Yup, in Europe where they have the CX60 and 80 instead, those two are different lengths, while in North America the 70/90 are the same size just with different names. Also the CX-70 is larger than a Merc GLS somehow despite being a two row lol.
@@shroomyesc interesting!
Sarah my favorite car review you ever did was driving your friends Shelby GT350. I'd love to see you do that one again.
Penquin score of 10 for the red color……..12 for Sarah 😃
Nice review. Always the best from Sarah
I love your videos, Sarah! You're so informative and fun to watch… i’ve been watching your videos since the beginning 💙
Almost $60k for a Mazada, what a time to be alive.
Mazda has stated that they are going up market and competing with Lexus. I have owned several Mazdas over the years and as a current CX-60(Japan) owner I can say it is on par with other high end SUVs. I have personally driven Audis(A4) and Volvos(S60) in recent years and my CX-60 is just as nice, for less. As much as I like Mazda, they do have an uphill battle with people thinking they are not a high end vehicle.
What a fantastic review. Beautiful, Smart, and Funny. All the tools😊
I do really like this vehicle CX 70.
Really like the way Mazda is going with electrification
You look beautiful like always!!
Thanks for posting your video it was great.
Watch your head checking the seat bolsters 😂
Sarah, I really like your car reviews..👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 full of solid information and perspective of the qualities of the car! I’m partial to Mazda and their philosophies and execution of design. Raced Spec Miata and own two more Miatas, phenomenal experiences!
Suggestion; perhaps there would be interest in your braking test by commenting about the initial bite of the brake pads. Do your normal brake test then another test immediately after when pads are hot. Sometimes this is drastically different and might be an interesting feature to include in the car review ?? (Has been in my experience)
Hope your kitty is ok…🤞🏻 this review may of been filmed prior to Ping’s difficulties?
We’ve had the CX60 Phev for 8 or 9 months now. Been great so far. Done about 60% or driving on EV, and great to have the ability to just jump in and go when needed. It’s not perfect, but none of them are these days. Feels nice and planted during hard cornering, even compared to smaller cars.
Aloha Miss Sarah. Hope Ping is comfortable and you are hanging in there. PS please watch your back moving cars around.
Ha the first car I had explosive diarrhea in. I ate at Los Toquotos and while driving home I had to fart but end up spraying the seats with acid poop. I used simple green and a scrub daddy to clean it. Mazdas have cheap leather, when this usually happens I can clean it up fast in my 86 Cutlass.
A+...great job/review. I have the 2024 Mazda CX-50 TPP AWD and love it. The CX-90/70 size is good for some, but I like the CX-50 size + power/weight/fun factor. I did add "proper" 18" wheels and better A/T tires...way more gooder now!
Sarah, straight forward + honest review! Thanks!
I love your personality
Loved the review, details, humor and all! Take my sub!
A little something for Ping
Still no results back on him..
Yet another awesome teardown and demo. Subaru Ascent going to be on sometime? I would love to see how it rallies and summits (spoiler: I think it will outperform the normally aspirated Forester).
Hybrid is slowly becoming a not-bad word, to a normal word, to its final form of epicalityness with Audi RS Q e-tron (Dakar).
Sorry about your kitty. You seem to spend a lot of time alone. I hope you have folks to talk to when upsetting things come along. Talking to a camera seems a bit sterile though I did appreciate your sharing. Hopefully the animal will recover👍💖🏴🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱
5:35 Have you ever stepped on brake so hard and long until hazard lights started?
In Europe all cars must have this feature !
Use both feet !
Great review, and you didn't risk a concussion this time!😂
If Mazda offered pickups again, how would you like this powertrain in one?
Get well soon Ping.
You have my shupport. 😊
Thanks Sarah!🌻🐧
Thank you for your unique style of reviewing automobiles. Reviews are the best when a quirky, pretty, and intelligent lady gives you the scoop on all the tech in a unique style! Best wishes for you and I hope Mr. Ping is doing better.
I rented the inline 6 turbo CX-90 for a week, and one of my trips was from Denver to Aspen over Independence Pass. It handled much better than I expected-this big girl can really dance! I completely agree with your thoughts on the transmission tuning of the inline 6. Part of the odd behavior from the transmission is due to the lack of a torque converter. The inline 6 engine is equipped with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system (MHEV), which uses an electric motor positioned between the engine and transmission.
Mi-Drive is funny when you say it. I giggled.
9:30 i’ve also noticed hardly any orange peel on their special edition red this car, and the Lexus LC 500 have amazing paint texture👌
I concur with your review. Was expecting something different when they announced the cx70, but…
Hope you’re spending some quality time with Ping. 🤞🏻
The answer is a robust public charging network - one that isn’t screwing the people.
Isn’t going to happen unless you live in a city, in which case you likely have a robust public transportation network.. so
@@SarahnTuned You nailed it Sarah. Very few get it.
@@SarahnTunedmost people who own an EV charge cheaply from home each night. When traveling Tesla superchargers work flawlessly without any drama. I can’t speak on 3rd party chargers but hear they’re getting better. Problem is legacy automakers can’t build competitive EV’s at a profit. I’m for less government intervention and letting the free market decide. 😎
@@SarahnTuned A robust public transportation network in American cities is another thing that isn't going to happen.
And EVs will remain an economic advantage for the well-off suburbanites until apartment-dwellers can charge at home or at work.
@@mrh3085to be fair, Tesla is doing a whole lot better at the moment.
"sounds like the macarena" I own a CX-50 now I'm gonna hear that from now on
MAZDA IS KILLING THE GAME RIGHT NOW! BEST AUTO MAKER OUT THERE, AND THEY'RE ONE OF THE SMALLEST COMPANIES! LEGENDS!!!
such weird corpo worship
@@will_mcfarland LEGENDS!!!
Sarah’s looking great after her last video.
I am happy.
There was a huge/deep storage bin directly behind the rear seats as well
Another great review, Sarah!! Always a big fan of your work. Hope you have an awesome day!!
Those 275 tires probably helped the stopping effort.
The new model designations does seem to make sense, within their new product lines.
Hopefully Toyota's new high efficiency engines will find their way into the Mazda's.
Glad to see you're back at doing what you do and love best. As much as I, and I think we can all agree, love to see your reviews and build content, taking time off should also be on your future agenda. I foresee a great B-day celebration next April. I, too, have a big one coming up then. But 65 isn't as much fun as 40. Take care, and please just think about it.
One of your best reviews I’ve seen. Excellent. Nice car too. Love Mazda.
Yes, your description of torque made sense!
Awesome, im binge watching your videos ❤❤❤🎉🎉
What a brilliant powertrain, that's how you do it.
Great attention to detail with the hinged engine cover and latch 👍
Looking at the mechanics of this car - - especially the underside; all that shielding and plastic and foil-like heat shielding stuff - - makes me wish I’d kept one of my old cars, the ones with an engine/drivetrain and nothing else. I remember working on cars and actually enjoying it. I think I need a 61 Volkswagen.
Until one control arm of the dissimilar metal eats the other. 🙀
Love you😍🌹
Won’t happen, they are isolated with bushings. You will see waaay more dissimilar metal corrosion at the bolts, like any aluminum part.
Bolstering test is my fav😂❤
Why am I here? I'm looking at a Honda minivan. Road Trip!!!!!
DRINK everytime Sarah say's "Torque" 😄
Cicadas bring swamp ass. Great line...so true. Another great and informative vlog. You rock!!!!
Hope Ping is rallying! Or at least derby-ing........😋
Sarah talking about a new Supra with a Mazda inline 6 turbo drivetrain... I would buy that in an heartbeat !!
Would fit nice in between my 1988 Supra Turbo (built 7M) and my 2024 Mazda 3 Turbo 😎😎
That PHEV with Mazda 8 speed transmission is quite impressive. 😮
Great review Sarah, as always ! 👍👍
