Drove a CX-5 company car for a week and I loved it. Good looking, good power, good handling, and a fantastic interior. I drive an Audi and I love how their interior dash, console layout, and infotainment is very Audi-esque. It's a very easy transition for me and felt very comfortable on the first drive.
@@84848AR The CX-5 is still made in Japan. It’s the CX-50 that’s made in the U.S (Alabama to be exact).. Which to be fair, isn’t all that bad when you consider the fact it’s a collaboration company/manufacturer between Mazda and Toyota. Going forward, Toyota and Mazda are working together on new engines and hybrids. This can only be good 👍.
I saw one on the road and said “yep I want one..” did some research and waited forever and I finally just recently got one! It’s everything I was expecting and more. Drives better than my BMW and the seats feel so niceeee. I’m very satisfied. Mazda gives you more than just a car, they give you an experience.
Bought a signature turbo on the lot brand new last January. My entire shopping prior to that point was for an Audio SQ5. As soon as I sat in it I knew it was nicer than the audi. Confused the hell out of me.
Same exact here. Just paid my CX-5 off last week and ready to add another Mazda so I guess I’ll go for this in the next couple of days. I’ve got the money saved! I like Audi a lot but for half of the price I’ll forgo the snobby European badge.
I own a 2018 Mazda CX-5 and I LOVE IT TO NO END!!! It is such a good car, and kept me safe while hydroplaning. I trust Mazda more than any other brand, I will ALWAYS own a Mazda.
i love mazda because their the only company that dared give the rotary a chance and earned my respect i’ve rebuilt the rx-7 3 times and i don’t regret any of them
I am biased to Subaru but when I drove 2019 CX-5 it felt like a complete vehicle. The handling is great, power excellent. It's so luxurious without being over the top. Very functional family vehicle. Good safety features as well.
@@DUCOS1795no it does not. And the infotainment screen is smaller than this 2019. But 2019 is the start of this generation so you will have a lot of similar things like.

I own a 2018 CX5 GT and love it. All the bells and whistles for a fraction of the price and the care that was put into the design details outmatch all others in its class.

1 bought my first new mazda cx5 in 2013, then the 2nd in 2017. While having cx60 in my crosshairs, i can personally attest that cx5 is car that will not fail you, it drives great and is very functional plus it just doesn’t break. The tank could be 10 liter bigger, but that’s about my only complaint but not a deal breaker at all
Tbh Mazda rn as a whole is slept on apart from the MX-5, extremly good price to quality ratio, decent power, not verry heavy (especially the mazda 3), verry fun handling across most models (again especially the mazda 3 since its smaller), verry reliable cars and interior build quality on par with german brands such as BMW or Audi at toyota prices
Mazda beat Toyota and Honda in Consumer Reports quality ratings in 2021 and 2022, the first time those two quality kings were upended in quality in like 35 or 40 years!
I actually daily this car and it’s awesome, you can manually shift with the automatic gear lever if it’s to the left of “Drive” and it’s actually pretty speedy cuz of the turbo
i have a 2011 mazda 3. had it for 8 years now with only 115k miles. I drove it across country (LA-NY) 3 times. i've never had any issues with my car. I'm keeping it until i have monies for the mazda cx 5.
Mazda CX5 was a great discovery for my family in 2023! Got a 2015 for my son and the car surprised us. I’m used to drive German’s cars and I have no problem jumping into the CX5 to get around and run some errands. It has a lot of features, it’s safe, it performed well, It’s AWD and it’s way more economic than my own car. It is not comparable to the germans, but it is a great car!
The all wheel drive is not for driving in snow. A fwd car with winter tires outperforms a 4x4 with regular tires by far. Of course it helps, but without proper tires it is as useless as a 2x4.
I have a 2016 and it's served me very well in minnesota driving to ski hills. Carrying all my equipment and driving over ice. Mine came with the weakest engine but the sport mode is great. Tho I get jealous every time I look at a newer model. Tho each year has a beatiful design in each varation. I have gotten multiple comments on how nice the stock red paint looks. The new grill and rims are too clean.
