Back in 2021, I was deciding between a Mazda 6 and the CX5. The 6 was more comfortable and quicker.The CX5 was more useful and with better views.It was a hard choice but decided on the CX5.
Mazda cx30 the preppy fun,cx5 the practicality fun,cx50 the semi offroad fun, cx 9,70,90 the luxury fun. they were all fun to drive,, sadly cx3 the cute fun small suv is not in the market anymore here in north america, my wife daily cx3,me cx5 and my son cx30😁🤗 we are morethan happy having mazda vehicles,
I’ve only sat in a CX-30 (didn’t drive) and I liked it a lot, but it was small. If I was in my 20s & single it would be a solid choice. I drove both the CX-5 and the CX-50 and liked them both. The interior of the CX-5 was more upscale and had more comfortable seats to me (and had a better overall seating position/feel). Didn’t bother looking at the CX-90… too big for my needs and too much money. In the end I got a 2024 CX-5 (Carbon Edition non-turbo in Polymetal Gray w/ the red leather seats). It was the right choice for my wife and me. YMMV
I chose the CX-30 mainly because i prefer true compact and subcompact class vehicles. The CX-5, CX-50, etc. are all too large & tall for my taste. If I didn't buy a CX-30, then I would have gone with a Mazda3 Sedan (or even a sporty-trim Mazda2 if it was sold in the USA) instead. I feel like my CX-30 is comfortable, has a nice, fun sporty-firm ride quality to it, & cabin is pretty quiet for this size/price class vehicle. No problems, issues or defects to report on my 2022 CX-30 CE after almost 2.5 years now.
@@genglai4526 Don't feel bad though. My 2020 Japan-built TNGA Toyota Corolla Sedan SE 6-MT was a bag full of problems & was towed back to the dealership on 3 different occasions for various electronic/mechanical failures/defects before it ever reached 10K miles. I finally ditched it for my first Mazda in early 2022 when the Corolla was at around 9500 miles total on the odometer. Pretty sad.
This video came just in time. I am choosing between a CX-5 and CX-9, and I love how thorough your reviews are - taking into consideration driver comfort, fun and practicality for everyday life. Thank you so much!
In my opinion, the diesel CX-60 is by far Mazda's best product right now. It's not encumbered by this obsession Mazda has with making everything a Miata, so it rides pretty upmarket now that they've updated the suspension and feels like a cruiser with enough power. There's also its sizing, it's just right - some might say a bit on the larger side, closer to X5 than X3, but I like how it's both confident and relaxed. CX-5 is a close second and I can't imagine CX-30 and CX-50 driving particularly well no thanks to that torsion beam.
CX-70 has exact same cargo with 2 rows of seating up, as CX-90 with third row down. The only extra cargo room CX-70 has are underfloor storage compartments, but those are not counting towards trunk volume in specs.
CX-70 is slightly lighter because of no third row, which could be more interesting to drivers seeking sportier drive, but fundamentals are same as CX-90
Why get the 90 if I'm never going to use the third row? I'd love it if Mazda would either bring the 60 to the US or put the inline 6 in the 50. They're basically the same size.
Thanks for this information! Very helpful! We're looking at the 2024 CX-5 currently. Perfect size for my wife and I. Question: Why is the 2024 Mazda 3 191 hp and the heavier CX-5 only 187 hp?
@@JSS i import my M6, 2023, black homura, from Germany, where they still sell them. Before i had M6, 2017 and car is so good that i decided to stay with it until new generation comes, if ever comes...
I think that was the plan, to get rid of the mazda 3 at least in the USA, they have almost the exact interior dimensions, the cx-30 is just higher off the ground
the cx-50 would be a huge winner if they lose the plastic cladding around the wheels, add independet rear suspension, add a full digital dash. Mazda's driving dynamic is great, but they need to step up their technology game.
I wish the 50 didn’t have cylinder deactivation on the non turbo.. Being built in Japan would also help with quality.. Turbo has stop/start so its not for me…
@@RichardRich-jp9xf Depends what you mean by plenty fast. What is your perspective? I drive a 2021 Mustang GT so of course the Mazda is going to feel slow from that perspective. However, my wife has an Audi A3 that only puts out 180hp but is much faster than than the turbo CX-50 I drove. Its all about power to weight ratio. I kept hearing on You tube reviews how spirited the CX-50 turbo was, but when I got it on the highway I was not impressed. I like the way the car looks, I just think the power is exaggerated.
I own that exact vehicle along with a 23 CX50. I absolutely love the CX5. Very reliable but gas mileage is not good. I believe it is much better than the CX50
I have a Mazda CX-5 2021 GT, non turbo engine. I LOVE it, the gas mileage is great!!! I am always over 29MPG combined. We have gotten it up to little over 37 on the highway. We do live rural, and use cruise control a lot. She has been very reliable. My husband has a big pickup and he loves to drive my CX-5 lol. I don't have many complaints, I happen to really like the center control. I put all my addresses and radio stations in my favorites. So one touch and I am there. My husband loves all the safety features, that was a seeling point for us. We searched for a while for one, since we live rural, we had to go to another state to get one. She handles great in snowy weather too.
@@MrsMac3099I have the same car. I previously had a 2020 CX-5 and it was totaled when my child and I were t- boned by a charter bus! The safety features saved our lives. I believe God was in the midst as well. Those curtain airbags and side airbags deployed at over 400 mph and we only had bruising and seatbelt burns. We easily could have been killed. The car spun around, but it held its own against a bus.
@@angelmocha9 I am so glad you all we not hurt! The mental trauma sometimes is worse after. I was in 2 bad car wrecks within 17 months. Neither my fault. Then 3 back surgeries later, I did not drive for years. We brought me the Mazda a year ago and I LOVE the freedom. I named her Betty Lou ❤️.
what if you want the features of the higher trims, but don't want the massive wheels?... willl you swap to the smaller wheels, and give us a refund for the "downgrade"? Will the higher trims still perform properly with he smaller wheels?... It is so sad that even Mazda forces these ridiculous wheels on us, just because we might want things like 360 camera, all the safety features, heated rear seats, etc
Conclusion: You can't go wrong with ANY Mazda!!!
Excellent video. I hope your bosses at Mitchell Mazda (on the boulevard!) appreciate what you do for them with these videos.

Got a 24 cx5 select. Great feature I like & no I stop or cylinder deactivation. YES !!! So far so good. My 1st Mazda😊

@@davidanderson-22 that cannot be done, CX-50 is a Front-wheel drive platform. CX-90 is a rear-wheel drive platform. The two aren't compatible.
Jonathan can you please tell how many miles life for break pads for 2023 Mazda CX-5

Im looking to get a used 2012 CX 9 with 5000 miles on a replacement jasper v6. I liked the ride and peppiness of the engine and a mere $12000
Any possibility for Mazda to reduce the black cladding on the CX-50 or even color matching?
I just want a Meridian CX-50 WITH Bose. It's frustrating they put the Bose only on top trims
Yep
Except in Canada🤷♀️
Mazda 6 drives the best. I tried them all, except cx50, and no one can come close to M6.
😢 sad we don’t have it anymore.
@@JSS i import my M6, 2023, black homura, from Germany, where they still sell them. Before i had M6, 2017 and car is so good that i decided to stay with it until new generation comes, if ever comes...
Dear Mazda -- bring me an inline 6 awd mazda 6 please.
Make mine a sportback!
CX 30 seems like it's a bigger 3 hatchback with four doors. Kinda like the AMC Eagle.

Test drove the CX-50. Put my foot to the floor on the highway in sport mode, I heard the engine, but nothing happened. Not enough power.
It wasn't a turbo, non-turbo engines give enough power for driving, not racing
LOL it's not a Porsche, I have a CX50 it is plenty fast.......
@@deftones1144 It was the turbo version.

Had enough caffeine today?!😅 I’ve never heard you talk so fast!
I wish they made a cx 9 or 90 without a turbo. I know they are heavier than a 5 or 50 but come on.
They make the CX-90 PHEV, it has naturally aspirated 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine.
Mazda3 drives the best. mic drop.
If no Tiguan, I pass.
Johnathan you need a new intro my man.
The title is quite dumb.
Because the answer is simple:
Miata

Answer.

More More More car vids sounds like More More More garbage ! I laugh every time !
I'd choose whatever is made in Japan. Japanese people are more driven by quality and details than Americans. CX-5 for me.
