Scotty, I am seeing very concerning complaints on nhtsa dot gov website about VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL issues with cars speeding on their own. Can you please do a video on this, this is very concerning, especially with cars after 2013.....
Actually unlike most current automatic transmissions there is a dipstick. A couple minutes to unscrew the air box free and you will find the dipstick on top of the transmission.
We recently bought a non turbo CX-50 and so far we are very happy with it. Made a the joint Toyota factory in Alabama. No Start/Stop, non turbo, No CVT were big sales points.
I bought a used 2020 CX-5 in 2022 with 25k miles. Absolutely love the car. Put 30k miles on it. Just basic maintenance. No problems. Drove it all over the US, from tropics to mountains to desert. Was a champ. Enough room for people and lots of luggage. Highway mileage was 30+ with full car, cruising at 75. Safe, reliable, fun to drive, and good-looking. Very happy with my purchase.
Research these CX-5's online and you'll find near universal praise. Everyone who owns them seems to love them. Most everyone is just amazed that Mazda doesn't sell more than they do. There's very little negative written about these cars. In today's polarized internet environment, where everyone likes to criticize anything and everything, that says ALOT about these vehicles.
I'm currently owning a 2017 CX-5 awd, the space is on the smaller side of the compact SUV and doesn't get really good MPG compare to other vehicles in its class. That being said, the build quality and styling is really good. Lots of working room (for non-turbo) underneath the hood for parts replacement in the future as well.
You make a good point about all the self-serving clowns who “know anything & everything”. These people will never research anything for themselves, and why should they since they already KNOW EVERYTHING??!!
@@randy74989 Since CX-50 is made in Alabama, time will tell how well it ages. Hopefully Mazda engineering and quality control shine through. It is a VERY nice vehicle. It almost seems to be more of an upscale outdoorsy Subaru / baby Rover competitor than a road going near premium SUV like CX-5. I have sat in them and they are really impressive inside. The outside I think might be a little to "rugged" looking for some. Hopefully a redsigned CX-5 comes. It is their bread and butter right vehicle right now. Or, maybe the soon to be revealed CX-70 takes the CX-5's place in the line up. Time and it's size will tell.
The CX-5 has real independent suspension as well. The CX-30 has torsion beam. CX-5 also has better visibility with bigger windows and a lower belt-line. CX-5 all day
It's a big price difference on the used market though. All else equal at the same mileage, the CX-5 is better but the CX-30 is still fantastic and still reliable. Mazda's SUV lineup is a revelation in general though, they're giving Toyota, Subaru, and Honda a run for their money in the segment.
@@DoTheAstralPlane Yes, a run for their money indeed. After my brother settled on a CX-5, because he didn't want a turbo engine or a CVT transmission I was totally on board.
I currently have a CX-5 turbo rental while my car is being repaired and this drives awesome, very sporty handling and quick, blows my 2018 CR-V away as far as driving dynamics.
As a Toyota owner, I bought my first Mazda because of the gouging going on at Toyota Dealerships. I bought a 2023 Mazda CX5 (no turbo) Premium Plus package and I freaking love it. It takes a while to get used to the handling as it is much more rigid that my previous vehicle but I really enjoy the feel of the road now. I've got roughly 5K miles on it thus far and so far so good.
I got my wife a 2020 CX-5. We had a 2015 CX-9 with the ford duratec engine that suffered the dreaded water pump failure. I was skeptical about buying another Mazda but felt better about it when I learned it was free from containing any Ford parts. My wife loves her normally aspirated 2020 CX-5.
Currently have 520 miles on my 2024 CX5 S preferred. I’ll drive it over. Love it so far Wanted Rav 4 as CX5 was number 2 choice but 0% 60 months… I went Mazda
First Gen Mazda CX-5 was also available with a 6-speed manual gearbox but only on the 2.0 liter. Hard to find but should've offered with the 2.5 too. Mazda is on a roll right now
My mazda 6 gets about 26 to 27 with the same engine. Scotty is right about the all wheel drive and SUV body type. Also I'm glad i got my car during the start of the pandemic. I got mine used with 9000 miles for 9K less that the MSRP.
I had a 2008 bmw 3 series for a while, and a friend had a similar year Mazda CX5. I was very impressed with Mazdas interior materials, fit, and finish. It was also a nice looking and driving SUV.
@Scotty Kilmer: I want to get a 2024 CX-5 Premium Plus. I hear the NA engines are no longer getting cylinder deactivation and I-stop. That is a great thing!
2024 mazda cx5 Select. Love it!! 1st mazda, as Hondas and toyota going downhill. No I-stop or cylinder deactivation on mine & love that. All I need, & nothing I dont. . Fair price, comfortable, great visibility, spare tire & high quality in & out. Infotainment is a learning curve, but getting the hang of it. Made in Japan, 6 speed, ( no crummy Cvt) & naturally gas aspirated. Won't be going back to Hondas or toyota. Was on par price wise but you get a WHOLE lot more standard features so was worth the cost. I'm happy, ZOOM ZOOM 😊
I get 34 mpg highway with my 2019 CX-5 turbo at 60 mph. I rarely have need for the extra turbo power, but it is nice to have V8 power when I want it for merging and passing. I also consistently get 18 or more mpg in the city.
Oh yes, this is my baby !!! Got my own 2020 CX-5 Grand Touring non turbo with 28,000 miles and zero problems, and I freaking love it. Scotty, you should definitely think about getting yourself one. Your wife would love it, and you and her won't have to crouch down to get in it. ❤💪🏽🔥💯
Knowing him and his comments, sure it would be a great car but one downside is that Mazda does have a more stiffer suspension, hence why they handle so well. I have a 2013 3 that has low profile tires and I feel everything. It's a harsher ride probably without the low profile tires, so I don't see him getting it for her but still a quality vehicle nonetheless.
Currently own a 2016 Mazda3 with 2.5L it's at 110k miles at the moment and still humming along. averaging about 33mpg combined and so much fun to drive with the low end torque. Best car I've owned and I'm hoping to take care of it until 200k+ !
2021 CX-30. You can talk crap about Mexico if ya wanna but you should research the facilities they built down there and the quality assurance methods they have in place with Japanese supervision and inspection. The CX-30 I just got non turbo 2.5 plenty of power 35 mpg+ on highway 26 city. I love it. So far a great purchase. Love the smooth 6 speed tranny. And a very nice interior that blows competitors away. Great job Mazda !!!
I agree. I bought my 2016 Mazda 3 brand-new and it was also built in Mexico. When we went to test drive it, I was a little nervous of the fact that it was built in Mexico and not in Japan and I told the dealer that I wanted to go where there were lots of potholes. He said you actually want to go where there are potholes? I said yes I want to see if this thing rattles. We went and found a road with a lot of potholes and not a rattle one. These things are very well built. Before I bought my Mazda 3 I had actually purchased a 2016 Toyota Corolla and it had a terrible rattle that you could hear that seemed to be coming from the air conditioning vents. That rattled drove me nuts. I finally sold the car because of it. A few years later we actually rented a Toyota Corolla and I thought that maybe they would have fixed that issue as the rental car was like 3 or 4 years newer. Guess what? Although it had redesigned air vents, it still had that exact same rattle. I used to love Toyota years ago, but between the rattles and the CVT transmissions, I will no longer purchase Toyota. MAZDA‘s are pretty much the only vehicles that we’ll buy for the rest of our lives. Great job Mazda engineers. Keep up the great work and don’t try and be other car manufacturers. Keep doing your own thing and making awesome vehicles!
I have a 2023 CX-30, it’s my favorite car I’ve ever driven. I work with Mexican Car manufacturers and do agree they seem pretty lax and quantity over quality. Doesn’t seem like they have dropped the ball yet on my particular vehicle though.
Last year we bought a used 2021 Mazda CX-5 Grand touring AWD. She is so beautiful, kinda lux, handles well in the snow. She is nice to drive, a little firm, like people say but not bad at all. My husband who has had pickups for over 30 years likes to drive the Mazda too. I had Jeeps for over 20 year's. This isn't like that, the Mazda is definitely more like a crossover. I joked it's a little like a SUV, car, and lux all rolled in together. My hubby loves it so much he was looking at the CX-50, CX 90, and wants to know about the CX-70 when it comes out. I doubt he will trade his truck in, but that is how much he likes them.
Scotty, did you realize that with these new push button start cars you do not have to hold the button until it starts? I was doing the same thing with mine, but the switch isn't connected to the starter like the old days. I step on the brake, give the button a quick stab -- that's all that's required -- and while it's cranking I grab my seat belt. 😊
I recently got transferred from my BMW dealership to Mazda dealership and i was pretty upset at first because i loved selling BMW and i didn't know much about Mazda but i have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the vehicles , luxury and safety features... super underrated brand.
First one I had seen thrown away, so funny. I have learned to like the covers however. My 2023 VW Golf GTI has no cover. I think it was because they caught fire!
I bought a brand new Mazda this year. It is one of the best purchases that I have ever made! I feel the quality every time I drive it. It's fast, powerful and fun to drive. Plus, it feels like a premium, entry-level luxury vehicle.
My first car was a 1978 Ford Courier Long Bed with a MAZDA Engine, sigh..I loved that truck, it fit my lonboard for surfing the Rincon and also fit a keg in the back for night time beach parties with fires, and guitar playing and dancing, ahhh the funtimes!. :-)
I have a Mazda CX-30 made in Mexico. 107K miles and have only replaced the battery, tires, oil, filters and transmission fluid. Zero issues. I don't know why people diss on Mexican car assemblies. The standards are all the same and instituted by Japanese Mazda. It's not like Mazda becomes a Mexican company when its cars are assembled there.
My wife had a CX30 for a couple of years and it was trouble free. She liked it but wanted more room. Got a CX5 turbo. Wow, great car. Her CX30 was a little weak at high elevation and loaded down with people and luggage etc. The CX5 had no such issues. It's fun to drive. I'd highly recommend this vehicle.
My wife's 2019 CX5 awd non-turbo gets good mpg, only issue it had beside normal wear and tear it only had oil pan seal leak that was repaired under a warranty for free. It's an amazing fun, easy to drive vehicle!!!
The problem with cars being made in Mexico has nothing to do with the people that live there doing the work and more about the greedy companies cutting corners. Boeing makes a lot of their stuff in the US, and they've had issues all over the place that last 5 years.
I'm in the market to replace my 2014 Mazda 6 and was considering the CX-50 but now turned off by two things. First, the base engine is made in Mexico, and if that wasn't bad enough the base has cylinder deactivation (turns off 2 of 4 cylinders at certain conditions). I want no part of that. Second, the turbo engine is made in Japan but that one has what Mazda refers to as i-Stop...engine shuts down when the vehicle is stopped and then restarts once you start moving. I'm sometimes in stop-and-go traffic and don't need any part of that. It can be disabled, but every time to you start the car if defaults to "on". As much as I'd like CX-50, these features are a no-go for me.
We bought a 2023 CX5 last summer and we love it. We were looking at the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV but both were way above msrp. Not Mazda. that’s the main reason we went with the Mazda CX-5. Great vehicle at a great price.
I have been researching what car to buy and the CX-5 was my top pick, probably a used one 2020-2023 with low miles. The price is reasonable and it looks nicer than the Rav4 or CRV... I really want something reliable and practical but the zoom would be appreciated too haha. My Kia Spectra is closing in on 200k miles and its starting to have some problems. I don't want to deal with too many repairs so I think its about time for a new car... Maybe keep the Kia as a back up car since its been so reliable this far.
Just bought the 2018 CX5 this weekend with only 32K miles on it. Drives like a champ and the interior is top quality. But what sealed the deal for me was when I saw the 'J" in the VIN#!
Just bought a 2024 CX-90 PHEV. Made in Hofu Plant, Hiroshima, Japan. Traded in a 2016 CX-9. Never had a single issue with that car. The 2.5 turbo is the way to go. Mazda has added the 3.3 to the CX lineup, and the CX-90 is more of a rear wheel based design, although it is all wheel drive.
I have a 2020 and a 2021 CX5. The 2020 had the ambient temperature sensor go bad , and the infotainment had ghosting issues. My 2021 CX5 had a timing chain oil leak at 45k miles. These cars are highly praised but they have their problems so beware . If you research various forums you will find many who have had oil leaks early on in its life so it is pretty common .
I own a 2018 CX5 and have been satisfied with it so far. I only have 62000 on it . I put a trailer hitch on mine to pull my small utility trailer. SW Virginia here.
2023. I do live in the mountains though so I very consciously use the hills to my advantage...and maybe the thin air helps me out too but I'm not sure on that one.
If you want power get a V6, if you want economy get 4 cylinder.. the average driver will be satisfied with the right 4 cylinder, not looking for speed. Not carrying heavy weight (single drivers). Families, fast drivers should look more toward the bigger engines. Moves weight way easier
I bought a 2020 2.5l petrol awd CX5 last year. It had 38,000km on it, still under warranty. So far so good, it's such a brilliant car and I have no complaints 🙃
I had the CX-30 as a rental for two months and I loved it. Quality wise is was exactly the same as that CX-5. Long term though, we won’t know. Still, I really like what Mazda has done with there cars and as a Toyota guy, I actually want to own either the CX-30 or the Miata.
I used to have a Mazda 3, 2013 model year. I really enjoyed driving it when i was single and dating. Mazda makes reliable cars. If i was to ever get away from Toyota, i would go to mazda.
Honda, mazda,then toyota......toyota quality has slipped...ive known a lotnof people with new camrys that regret buying them..and the tacoma is madein mexico..to build them cheaper ,and they charge more and more. Fk that
They sure are, I already had some issues with it. I did a video on repairing the truck bed handle that was messed up. Ridiculous. Especially for a new truck.
As an owner of 3 Mazdas made in Japan, Miata,CX7, CX9, running strong with over 100k each, I always tell my friends that Mazdas are great lasting cars.
Who knows how long these codes have been there! Sometimes u never know if u have codes! Apparently not all codes set off check engine lights. Or even the brake light or ABS light since abs is connected to that Now a days engine light isn’t only connected to emission issues!
My cx-5 was the best suv I've ever owned. It was 2016 I bought for 20k when it had 20k miles on it. Drove it to 155,000 miles when a guy towing a stump grinder pulled out in front of me and I totaled it. I was able to walk away with only minor airbag scratches I got over 100,000 miles out of a set of tires on that car too, Cooper tires. Mostly highway miles. I should have bought another one but saw a bmw and now it's been in the shop at least 7 times in 70,000 miles. It's like bmw designs their cars to have something fail every 10,000 miles. Such crappy cars. But, we live and learn. Get a Mazda ya'll. They're really incredible cars.
Hi Scotty, just thought I'd let you know, my daughter's Mexican built 2014 Mazda 3 2.0 litre has 200 000 on the clock and still rides like new. Zero problems so far. I personally also insist on the Japanese model (I have a 2021 3GT), but I'm glad hers is living up to the Mazda reputation.
My cousin has had a 2015 Mazda CX5, for over nine years and other than routine maintenance and tires and a battery change he has never had to bring the car to be “Fixed”. Despite the fact he had Lexus cars in the past, he says he would never go back. He is thinking about getting a 2024 Mazda CX90, but he is feeling that this car drives well and has never given him any issues, why should he change now. I’ll send him the link to this video.
People who buy SUV should not talk about fuel economy. They don’t care: taller built, big diametre wheels, automatic transmission and almost square back…it all goes against economy! Easyer to get in and out, better visibility ( only as long as people like me will keep driving passenger cars ) and…neighbor has one.
My brother just bought a base Mazda CX5. And I must say he made a great decision. He didn’t want a turbocharged engine nor did he want a CVT transmission. His 2023 Mazda has neither. It has a naturally aspirated engine with ample horsepower and torque, a “regular” torque converter transmission (Mazda is distancing itself from CVT’s), AWD , nice interior and etc. he made a great choice. No other manufacturer makes a comparable car. All SUV’s like the CX-5 Select are either turbocharged and/or have CVT transmissions.
I'm still driving a 2013 CX5 AWD Touring I bought in June 2012. Low milage at 82K but still trouble free.just replaced the plugs and last year replaced antifreeze. Otherwise just oil tires and brakes.
I really like my 2024 Mazda Cx-30. I didn't get the Turbo engine. It has no CVT. It's quieter than any Honda I have had except the Pilot. I have had 9 Honda's and I won't go back to them. I loved Honda's in the beginning but they aren't made like they are used even if they were made in Japan.....like oil dilution problem I had with my 2018 CRV???? So I don't think manufacturing specifications just go out the window because a car is made state side or in Mexico it where abouts other than Japan.
Have a cx5 for my girl and I have a Mazda 3 carbon edition 2023 and what a beautiful Cars! Super fun's to drive and super reliable! If you trying to get one! Get it!!!! Thanks Scotty for always being so right and honest 🔥
I have a 2023 cx5 carbon edition, previously I had a 2020 mazda3 hatch. Love the new mazda quality. Best Part is, they're made in Japan. I always check the Vin number. But did you know the skyactive g engines have cylinder deactivate? The turbos don't have it though. It's true. Look it up.
Well said about the vehicle can’t complain. Sister rental that same vehicle. All I remember is that turbo lag blow back feel before the turbo kicks in. Gotta wait for turbo lag. Now there are turbo no lag bypass kit already out there.
@jgjg3848 I guess I should've been more specific for RealVr. The newer Cx5 are standard AWD like what you said. Sadly, I don't keep track of what came standard on cars 17 years ago, sadly for RealVR. Lol
Hi Scotty. I was a satisfied owner of a 2021 Kia Sorento. Well I’m still the owner, making payments on a car that’s apparently not repairable. I got tagged on the left front from behind by a lady that decided to pass everyone in the left turn lane. It took out the wheel and tire, left front fender, and of course the front plastic. The real kicker is that Kia already doesn’t make a lot of the needed parts. This car is 3 model years old!! The fender mounting brackets are unavailable, as well as the black wheel opening trim. What a bunch of crap. So it looks like my car will be sitting in limbo until one shows up in a wrecking yard with a good left front corner
it surely shocked me when my diesel engine regenerates DPF every 50Km after doing only 30k km, and nobody knows why. Dealer said DPF is clear. So now i'm dealing with oil dilution and 30~33mpg from a 1.5L little diesel, when i was doing 55mpg a year ago)))

Scotty, I am seeing very concerning complaints on nhtsa dot gov website about VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL issues with cars speeding on their own. Can you please do a video on this, this is very concerning, especially with cars after 2013.....
The only thing I do not like is there is no way to check or change the transmission fluid.
Actually unlike most current automatic transmissions there is a dipstick. A couple minutes to unscrew the air box free and you will find the dipstick on top of the transmission.
Plus there is a drain plug on the bottom of the transmission that I believe gets out about 5 quarts
Scotty I am looking to buy a CX-5 in Germany, turbo Diesel w/manual transmission. What do you think about the German CX-5?

Does it let you lock the doors if you're outside while it's running? My 2014 CX-5 annoys the hell out of me for several reasons.
I have a 2010 Mazda 3 2.5l with almost 200k. Japanese vehicles are amazing. Thanks for your input Scotty. We love you man. You deserve all the riches!
How often did you changed oil?

I just bought a CX-5 tonight !!
Give it to me
Awesome! My Honda Passport got totalled last week and I'm looking at a Mazda as my next car/SUV.
Which Trimline?
The CX-5 has real independent suspension as well. The CX-30 has torsion beam.
CX-5 also has better visibility with bigger windows and a lower belt-line. CX-5 all day
Great observation.
It's a big price difference on the used market though. All else equal at the same mileage, the CX-5 is better but the CX-30 is still fantastic and still reliable. Mazda's SUV lineup is a revelation in general though, they're giving Toyota, Subaru, and Honda a run for their money in the segment.
@@DoTheAstralPlane Yes, a run for their money indeed. After my brother settled on a CX-5, because he didn't want a turbo engine or a CVT transmission I was totally on board.
I have a CX30 with 200K no issues, made in Mexico and more reliable than some of the CX-5's I've seen.
I test drove the 5 and the 50. CX-5 has better headroom and seemed to have a quieter cabin than the CX-50. Easy choice to get the 5.
I currently have a CX-5 turbo rental while my car is being repaired and this drives awesome, very sporty handling and quick, blows my 2018 CR-V away as far as driving dynamics.
Is your car in the shop due to cracked cylinder head?

Same here brother
Mazda Rising ✨️
I got a 2019 CX-5 and 2020 Mazda 6 GTR love them both.
I live mazda..but you should have bought a honda.
bought my CX5 Turbo in 2020 during virus lock down....35K miles and not one problem..fun to drive and got a real good price in April of 2020
I got my wife a 2020 CX-5. We had a 2015 CX-9 with the ford duratec engine that suffered the dreaded water pump failure. I was skeptical about buying another Mazda but felt better about it when I learned it was free from containing any Ford parts. My wife loves her normally aspirated 2020 CX-5.
Ford is no longer involved with Mazda thankfully, they have been on the upswing since then.
I have the 2021 CX-5 naturally aspirated engine. It’s sporty enough for me and very fun to drive. Definitely a great vehicle.
I rented one of these when visiting home a few years ago, it was the FWD one and I absolutely loved it.
My wife has the 2018 "5", almost 100k miles. She loves it. I inherited her 2007 "9" with 220k miles, still a great car!
Currently have 520 miles on my 2024 CX5 S preferred.
I’ll drive it over. Love it so far
Wanted Rav 4 as CX5 was number 2 choice but 0% 60 months… I went Mazda
U are me 2 yrs ago when I totaled my car. Dealers wanted markup I said no and walked
Same thing, Mazda was number 2 choice, but I got 0% and faster waiting period 1 month instead of 6 on rav4. So, we bought Mazda, and we love it
I guarantee you made the right choice. You won’t regret going with the Mazda. Enjoy!
@@lunaco2008 lol so far
12,824 on it running like a champ
Highway miles as multiple kids play sports in college. Lot of games
Please leave your engine shrouds in place folks .they direct air flow and dampen noises..so are actually functional.
First Gen Mazda CX-5 was also available with a 6-speed manual gearbox but only on the 2.0 liter. Hard to find but should've offered with the 2.5 too. Mazda is on a roll right now
I had a 13 2.0 manual. Was great. Just needed a bigger car with more kids. Should have kept it on the side.
I love my 2013 cx-5 manual. Fun to shift and average 32mpg.
The Mazda3 2.5l non-turbo is the most reliable as far as older Mazda3s go.
Imagine standing by while Scotty films your car and you just hear the clatter of your engine cover and you turn around to his cackling 😂
With Scotty that stupid beauty thing always ends up thrown away like that. 😅
There it goes!
Scotty hates beauty. He wants ole and homely!
My mazda 6 gets about 26 to 27 with the same engine. Scotty is right about the all wheel drive and SUV body type. Also I'm glad i got my car during the start of the pandemic. I got mine used with 9000 miles for 9K less that the MSRP.
Makes me feel better about purchasing a 24 Cx-5 recently.
Excellent choice. You won’t regret your purchase. They’re awesome vehicles.
I had a 2008 bmw 3 series for a while, and a friend had a similar year Mazda CX5. I was very impressed with Mazdas interior materials, fit, and finish. It was also a nice looking and driving SUV.
@Scotty Kilmer: I want to get a 2024 CX-5 Premium Plus. I hear the NA engines are no longer getting cylinder deactivation and I-stop. That is a great thing!
2024 mazda cx5 Select. Love it!! 1st mazda, as Hondas and toyota going downhill. No I-stop or cylinder deactivation on mine & love that. All I need, & nothing I dont. . Fair price, comfortable, great visibility, spare tire & high quality in & out. Infotainment is a learning curve, but getting the hang of it. Made in Japan, 6 speed, ( no crummy Cvt) & naturally gas aspirated. Won't be going back to Hondas or toyota. Was on par price wise but you get a WHOLE lot more standard features so was worth the cost. I'm happy, ZOOM ZOOM 😊
Couldn't have said it better. Bought a Select in January 2024 after owning Hondas for over 30 years.
@toddsmith1617
Yes,, I got rid of honda &toyota. Mazda MUCH BETTER
I have a 2024 CX5 Turbo Carbon Edition. Love it!
I’m picking mine up on Monday. I need to have something reliable for the times that both of my Dinan BMWs are in the shop;)
I get 34 mpg highway with my 2019 CX-5 turbo at 60 mph. I rarely have need for the extra turbo power, but it is nice to have V8 power when I want it for merging and passing. I also consistently get 18 or more mpg in the city.
Oh yes, this is my baby !!! Got my own 2020 CX-5 Grand Touring non turbo with 28,000 miles and zero problems, and I freaking love it. Scotty, you should definitely think about getting yourself one. Your wife would love it, and you and her won't have to crouch down to get in it. ❤💪🏽🔥💯
Knowing him and his comments, sure it would be a great car but one downside is that Mazda does have a more stiffer suspension, hence why they handle so well. I have a 2013 3 that has low profile tires and I feel everything. It's a harsher ride probably without the low profile tires, so I don't see him getting it for her but still a quality vehicle nonetheless.
I agree with you there. I also have a 2020 CX-5 Grand Touring without the turbo and so far, it has been the best car I have ever owned.
@@andrewvenor8035 hell yeah !
Currently own a 2016 Mazda3 with 2.5L
it's at 110k miles at the moment and still humming along.
averaging about 33mpg combined and so much fun to drive with the low end torque.
Best car I've owned and I'm hoping to take care of it until 200k+ !
2016 2.5L has a love hate relationship on the internet. But engineers say that its the best year for the 2.5 NA
I've got a CX-5. I can say a lot of good things about it. Spacious is not one of them.
2021 CX-30. You can talk crap about Mexico if ya wanna but you should research the facilities they built down there and the quality assurance methods they have in place with Japanese supervision and inspection. The CX-30 I just got non turbo 2.5 plenty of power 35 mpg+ on highway 26 city. I love it. So far a great purchase. Love the smooth 6 speed tranny. And a very nice interior that blows competitors away. Great job Mazda !!!
I agree. I bought my 2016 Mazda 3 brand-new and it was also built in Mexico. When we went to test drive it, I was a little nervous of the fact that it was built in Mexico and not in Japan and I told the dealer that I wanted to go where there were lots of potholes. He said you actually want to go where there are potholes? I said yes I want to see if this thing rattles. We went and found a road with a lot of potholes and not a rattle one. These things are very well built. Before I bought my Mazda 3 I had actually purchased a 2016 Toyota Corolla and it had a terrible rattle that you could hear that seemed to be coming from the air conditioning vents. That rattled drove me nuts. I finally sold the car because of it. A few years later we actually rented a Toyota Corolla and I thought that maybe they would have fixed that issue as the rental car was like 3 or 4 years newer. Guess what? Although it had redesigned air vents, it still had that exact same rattle. I used to love Toyota years ago, but between the rattles and the CVT transmissions, I will no longer purchase Toyota. MAZDA‘s are pretty much the only vehicles that we’ll buy for the rest of our lives. Great job Mazda engineers. Keep up the great work and don’t try and be other car manufacturers. Keep doing your own thing and making awesome vehicles!
I have a 2023 CX-30, it’s my favorite car I’ve ever driven. I work with Mexican Car manufacturers and do agree they seem pretty lax and quantity over quality. Doesn’t seem like they have dropped the ball yet on my particular vehicle though.
Last year we bought a used 2021 Mazda CX-5 Grand touring AWD. She is so beautiful, kinda lux, handles well in the snow. She is nice to drive, a little firm, like people say but not bad at all. My husband who has had pickups for over 30 years likes to drive the Mazda too. I had Jeeps for over 20 year's. This isn't like that, the Mazda is definitely more like a crossover. I joked it's a little like a SUV, car, and lux all rolled in together. My hubby loves it so much he was looking at the CX-50, CX 90, and wants to know about the CX-70 when it comes out. I doubt he will trade his truck in, but that is how much he likes them.
Scotty, did you realize that with these new push button start cars you do not have to hold the button until it starts?
I was doing the same thing with mine, but the switch isn't connected to the starter like the old days. I step on the brake, give the button a quick stab -- that's all that's required -- and while it's cranking I grab my seat belt. 😊
I thought he quit RUclips?? I come back and he’s posted 10 different videos 😭
These new comments are really starting to tick me off, And I'm mad as hell that you even posted this

@@randybecerra3468 @rinsed6842 is just pulling your leg by using the same type of comments that Scotty uses all the time.
@@davidburrowes8678 oh lol😅
Nothing makes me want to watch a video more than being called "stupid".
I recently got transferred from my BMW dealership to Mazda dealership and i was pretty upset at first because i loved selling BMW and i didn't know much about Mazda but i have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the vehicles , luxury and safety features... super underrated brand.
Scotty cracks me up every time he throws a beauty cover away!
First one I had seen thrown away, so funny. I have learned to like the covers however. My 2023 VW Golf GTI has no cover. I think it was because they caught fire!
VW GTI not reliable engine becomes extremely hot.
@@donr8773Because they saw Scotty throwing them away.
I bought a brand new Mazda this year. It is one of the best purchases that I have ever made! I feel the quality every time I drive it. It's fast, powerful and fun to drive. Plus, it feels like a premium, entry-level luxury vehicle.
I own a CX9 2018 & a CX5 2023 I absolutely love them. Had no issues
My first car was a 1978 Ford Courier Long Bed with a MAZDA Engine, sigh..I loved that truck, it fit my lonboard for surfing the Rincon and also fit a keg in the back for night time beach parties with fires, and guitar playing and dancing, ahhh the funtimes!. :-)
I have a Mazda CX-30 made in Mexico. 107K miles and have only replaced the battery, tires, oil, filters and transmission fluid. Zero issues. I don't know why people diss on Mexican car assemblies. The standards are all the same and instituted by Japanese Mazda. It's not like Mazda becomes a Mexican company when its cars are assembled there.
Same here, I have a 2020 CX-30 made in Mexico. 38k miles no issues with my cx30 just change oil, tires. idk why ppl hate mexican assemblies...
Exactly, Mexico built cars are great. I don’t know why Scotty keeps saying Mexico’s built cars are no good 🤷🏻♂️.
The standards might be the same but the quality control is definitely not. So some vehicles come out great while others not so much
Japan is super strict with quality control
My wife had a CX30 for a couple of years and it was trouble free. She liked it but wanted more room. Got a CX5 turbo. Wow, great car. Her CX30 was a little weak at high elevation and loaded down with people and luggage etc. The CX5 had no such issues. It's fun to drive. I'd highly recommend this vehicle.
Great looking car and hope they last longer than some of the cars they put out last decade...
They split from ford back in 2013 so yes quality is going up.
Quality isn't much better than when they were under Ford.
My 2022 Mazda 3 built in Japan rattled in the door after only 4 months. My Kia Forte GT made in Mexico has been rock solid now.
My wife's 2019 CX5 awd non-turbo gets good mpg, only issue it had beside normal wear and tear it only had oil pan seal leak that was repaired under a warranty for free. It's an amazing fun, easy to drive vehicle!!!
Walked into Lexus to get an rx350h. Was quoted at $76k OTD. Laughed all the way to Mazda and got a 2023 cx-5 for $30k OTD
My Mazda 3 2008 Manual 202,000 and still kicking and I’m the third owner! I’ve had this car for 8+ yrs just done regular maintenance 🤘🏽
The 'Auto Hold' is my favorite feature. Great when at a light or in the drive thru.
What is "auto hold"?
After depressing the brake pedal, one cam remove the foot from the break and the auto hold feature prevents the car from moving until one accelerates.
The problem with cars being made in Mexico has nothing to do with the people that live there doing the work and more about the greedy companies cutting corners. Boeing makes a lot of their stuff in the US, and they've had issues all over the place that last 5 years.
I'm in the market to replace my 2014 Mazda 6 and was considering the CX-50 but now turned off by two things. First, the base engine is made in Mexico, and if that wasn't bad enough the base has cylinder deactivation (turns off 2 of 4 cylinders at certain conditions). I want no part of that. Second, the turbo engine is made in Japan but that one has what Mazda refers to as i-Stop...engine shuts down when the vehicle is stopped and then restarts once you start moving. I'm sometimes in stop-and-go traffic and don't need any part of that. It can be disabled, but every time to you start the car if defaults to "on". As much as I'd like CX-50, these features are a no-go for me.
Get the 2024 CX-90
We bought a 2023 CX5 last summer and we love it. We were looking at the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV but both were way above msrp. Not Mazda. that’s the main reason we went with the Mazda CX-5. Great vehicle at a great price.
Just bought a 2021 cx 5 after driving a Honda civic for 16 years. I am loving the car, it is fantastic.
I have been researching what car to buy and the CX-5 was my top pick, probably a used one 2020-2023 with low miles. The price is reasonable and it looks nicer than the Rav4 or CRV... I really want something reliable and practical but the zoom would be appreciated too haha. My Kia Spectra is closing in on 200k miles and its starting to have some problems. I don't want to deal with too many repairs so I think its about time for a new car... Maybe keep the Kia as a back up car since its been so reliable this far.
It is the best choice in the non-turbo, regular (torque converter) automatic transmission, SUV segment.
Just bought the 2018 CX5 this weekend with only 32K miles on it. Drives like a champ and the interior is top quality. But what sealed the deal for me was when I saw the 'J" in the VIN#!
I hope to get a mazda soon. At the top of my list. Cx-9 or cx5
Get the 2024 CX-90 PHEV.
Wait for the CX 70
Just bought a 2024 CX-90 PHEV. Made in Hofu Plant, Hiroshima, Japan. Traded in a 2016 CX-9. Never had a single issue with that car. The 2.5 turbo is the way to go. Mazda has added the 3.3 to the CX lineup, and the CX-90 is more of a rear wheel based design, although it is all wheel drive.
I have a 2020 and a 2021 CX5. The 2020 had the ambient temperature sensor go bad , and the infotainment had ghosting issues.
My 2021 CX5 had a timing chain oil leak at 45k miles.
These cars are highly praised but they have their problems so beware . If you research various forums you will find many who have had oil leaks early on in its life so it is pretty common .
diesel fuel?
@@liaochei no gasoline
I get between 24 and 31 in our cx 5 but then I drive a lot of smoother than most people.
I own a 2018 CX5 and have been satisfied with it so far. I only have 62000 on it . I put a trailer hitch on mine to pull my small utility trailer. SW Virginia here.
I've been averaging 34mpg on my 25 mile commute on my NA CX5. Also replaced a Ford with it
What is NA CX5? Is it a model
@@catherineyslas4725 Naturally Aspirated is an engine configuration. It means non-turbo
What year is yours?
2023. I do live in the mountains though so I very consciously use the hills to my advantage...and maybe the thin air helps me out too but I'm not sure on that one.
Thanks for reviewing the vehicle. I'm always keeping an ear open for good information pertaining to my possible next buy
Mr. Scott I’ve Been watching you for about 3 years Way from Louisiana! Thank You sir keep up the good work
Just got a great deal on a 23 turbo! Wanted a cx30 but had to pass since it wasn't made in Japan. Love the cx5, handles similar to a Miata.
If you want power get a V6, if you want economy get 4 cylinder.. the average driver will be satisfied with the right 4 cylinder, not looking for speed. Not carrying heavy weight (single drivers). Families, fast drivers should look more toward the bigger engines. Moves weight way easier
I don’t own a CX-5 . . . but I do own a Miata RF. Mazda’s quality and reliability is outstanding!
Scotty throws the beauty cover on the snow ground.
The owner: "what an honor!"
I bought a 2020 2.5l petrol awd CX5 last year. It had 38,000km on it, still under warranty. So far so good, it's such a brilliant car and I have no complaints 🙃
2018 Mazda 3 2.5 manual owner here. The only issue is “soft” paint.
I live in Nashville, took my car on the infamous “drag trip” pretty dope😎
I had the CX-30 as a rental for two months and I loved it. Quality wise is was exactly the same as that CX-5. Long term though, we won’t know. Still, I really like what Mazda has done with there cars and as a Toyota guy, I actually want to own either the CX-30 or the Miata.
45k on my Mexican Mazda cx30 turbo. No issues! Great car. Viva la Mazda
I used to have a Mazda 3, 2013 model year. I really enjoyed driving it when i was single and dating. Mazda makes reliable cars. If i was to ever get away from Toyota, i would go to mazda.
Honda, mazda,then toyota......toyota quality has slipped...ive known a lotnof people with new camrys that regret buying them..and the tacoma is madein mexico..to build them cheaper ,and they charge more and more. Fk that
@@richsweeney1115Toyota is still the most reliable of the 3 you mentioned.
Wait a minute ain't Tacomas assembled in Mexico?
They sure are, I already had some issues with it. I did a video on repairing the truck bed handle that was messed up. Ridiculous. Especially for a new truck.

I've bought a used 2021 CX5 Grand Touring in Feb 2023. I loved how it drove much better than the new CRVs and RAV4s, plus the price was right.
The best solution for a new car is the non-turbo engine. It will cost less.
As an owner of 3 Mazdas made in Japan, Miata,CX7, CX9, running strong with over 100k each, I always tell my friends that Mazdas are great lasting cars.
Who knows how long these codes have been there! Sometimes u never know if u have codes! Apparently not all codes set off check engine lights. Or even the brake light or ABS light since abs is connected to that Now a days engine light isn’t only connected to emission issues!
I had a 2019 CX5 and loved it. I am seriously considering buying a 2024. Great vehicles!
Ehh first one here!! Who else owns a Mazda CX-5?!! 300,000km club reporting🫡

Daughter plans to buy one
2012 Honda Civic Si with 645,000 km so y’all better catch up LoL 😂
My cx-5 was the best suv I've ever owned. It was 2016 I bought for 20k when it had 20k miles on it. Drove it to 155,000 miles when a guy towing a stump grinder pulled out in front of me and I totaled it. I was able to walk away with only minor airbag scratches I got over 100,000 miles out of a set of tires on that car too, Cooper tires. Mostly highway miles. I should have bought another one but saw a bmw and now it's been in the shop at least 7 times in 70,000 miles. It's like bmw designs their cars to have something fail every 10,000 miles. Such crappy cars. But, we live and learn. Get a Mazda ya'll. They're really incredible cars.
Hi Scotty, just thought I'd let you know, my daughter's Mexican built 2014 Mazda 3 2.0 litre has 200 000 on the clock and still rides like new. Zero problems so far.
I personally also insist on the Japanese model (I have a 2021 3GT), but I'm glad hers is living up to the Mazda reputation.
My cousin has had a 2015 Mazda CX5, for over nine years and other than routine maintenance and tires and a battery change he has never had to bring the car to be “Fixed”. Despite the fact he had Lexus cars in the past, he says he would never go back. He is thinking about getting a 2024 Mazda CX90, but he is feeling that this car drives well and has never given him any issues, why should he change now. I’ll send him the link to this video.
And Mazda’s white exterior is very VERY crisp! Mazda on a roll🫰🏽!
People who buy SUV should not talk about fuel economy. They don’t care: taller built, big diametre wheels, automatic transmission and almost square back…it all goes against economy! Easyer to get in and out, better visibility ( only as long as people like me will keep driving passenger cars ) and…neighbor has one.
I get 28 MPG from my CX5 on highway my wife get 31 because she drives like a girl
I loved my 2007 Mazda 3 w/manual transmission. Very reliable.
My brother just bought a base Mazda CX5. And I must say he made a great decision. He didn’t want a turbocharged engine nor did he want a CVT transmission. His 2023 Mazda has neither. It has a naturally aspirated engine with ample horsepower and torque, a “regular” torque converter transmission (Mazda is distancing itself from CVT’s), AWD , nice interior and etc. he made a great choice. No other manufacturer makes a comparable car. All SUV’s like the CX-5 Select are either turbocharged and/or have CVT transmissions.
Pedal to the metal burns more gas in a non-Turbo too!
Remember in the 70s to purchase anything made in Japan was extremely frowned upon. Times have changed ! 😬
A lot of those 70s ones were serious rust buckets
I'm still driving a 2013 CX5 AWD Touring I bought in June 2012. Low milage at 82K but still trouble free.just replaced the plugs and last year replaced antifreeze. Otherwise just oil tires and brakes.
“Hey, you threw my stupid beauty cover on the ground!” 😂
😅😅😅
and in the snow no less. lol
I really like my 2024 Mazda Cx-30. I didn't get the Turbo engine. It has no CVT. It's quieter than any Honda I have had except the Pilot. I have had 9 Honda's and I won't go back to them. I loved Honda's in the beginning but they aren't made like they are used even if they were made in Japan.....like oil dilution problem I had with my 2018 CRV???? So I don't think manufacturing specifications just go out the window because a car is made state side or in Mexico it where abouts other than Japan.
Have a cx5 for my girl and I have a Mazda 3 carbon edition 2023 and what a beautiful Cars! Super fun's to drive and super reliable! If you trying to get one! Get it!!!! Thanks Scotty for always being so right and honest 🔥
The only negatives about this car are mostly from used Diesel engine ones. Maintanance is key with those such as regular on time service..
I have a 2023 cx5 carbon edition, previously I had a 2020 mazda3 hatch. Love the new mazda quality. Best Part is, they're made in Japan. I always check the Vin number. But did you know the skyactive g engines have cylinder deactivate? The turbos don't have it though. It's true. Look it up.
I am A BIG MAZDA fan but I was disappointed with the trunk space of CX5. My Mazda 6's trunk is twice as big as CX-5's!
Japanese always deliver the best engineering
I have 2023 cx5 sports diesel and run very smooth 1000km in 1full tank is not a problem.
Mazdas are amazing! I have owned 2 Mazda 3s….😊
I’ve had 3 mazda 3s, lol …love them, keeping my 2014 grand touring hatch forever..
Well said about the vehicle can’t complain. Sister rental that same vehicle. All I remember is that turbo lag blow back feel before the turbo kicks in. Gotta wait for turbo lag. Now there are turbo no lag bypass kit already out there.
Cx5s come standard with AWD, no matter the trim I believe.
@The1stRealVR No need to be so rude. As of 2022 AWD is standard across the CX line.
@jgjg3848 I guess I should've been more specific for RealVr.
The newer Cx5 are standard AWD like what you said.
Sadly, I don't keep track of what came standard on cars 17 years ago, sadly for RealVR. Lol
Hi Scotty. I was a satisfied owner of a 2021 Kia Sorento. Well I’m still the owner, making payments on a car that’s apparently not repairable. I got tagged on the left front from behind by a lady that decided to pass everyone in the left turn lane. It took out the wheel and tire, left front fender, and of course the front plastic. The real kicker is that Kia already doesn’t make a lot of the needed parts. This car is 3 model years old!! The fender mounting brackets are unavailable, as well as the black wheel opening trim. What a bunch of crap. So it looks like my car will be sitting in limbo until one shows up in a wrecking yard with a good left front corner
it surely shocked me when my diesel engine regenerates DPF every 50Km after doing only 30k km, and nobody knows why. Dealer said DPF is clear. So now i'm dealing with oil dilution and 30~33mpg from a 1.5L little diesel, when i was doing 55mpg a year ago)))
