I don't think steering is a problem per se. Most people just dont like the actial sportier steering and stiffer rides. Most are used to soft steering and smooth ride for a luxury feel as opposed to feeling the road to know how things are at all times.
For as many people ive seen not like the steering I've seen as many like it. Id be interested to test the old and new back to back.
The new still has tight steering compared to the competition but feels good imo.
Since it’s all electric they should really have option for the steering.
yep. I actually prefer tighter/stiffer steering and dislike loose steering as found in say the audi
Thanks for this video...well presented! I test drove the 2024 Mazda CX-50 Premium (not the Plus) and thought it was great. It has the terracotta interior. But, def will opt for the Plus. The ride was "spirited" and not too harsh from the short time I drove it...really dialed in nicely. I have owned two Mazda3's and a CX7...all were tuned for "driving" and quite tight (albeit, fun as hell). This new CX-50 is more refined and IMHO a "steal-deal" for what you pay vs going up a tier to a luxury crossover SUV. I am a big old fat guy...and I fit good in it. Entry/exit isn't a struggle.
Nice! Appreciate it & thanks for watching!
Thanks for giving this update. The complaints about the harsh ride and overly heavy steering were the main two things keeping me from considering this vehicle.
Nice thanks for watching!
"heavy" steering is really more of a preference thing
i love heavy steering
But, dang, they sure look good! Today is the one-year anniversary of driving my CX 50!
Nice!
Wife and I took ours to Valley of Fire in Nevada. The road leading to it from Lake Mead and out of it to Moapa Valley is very curvy for about 80-90 miles. It absolutely crushes the curves and even at higher speeds, it doesn’t make you feel like you lose control. Best driving car we have had. My daughter is 10 and she said it felt like a roller coaster and she loved the whole ride! Best car we have bought this far. We have had 13 other cars of many different kinds and brands. 😂
Nice!
the one that you are driving, is it produced in november or before, because some people say that only the ones produced after nov. that will have the new updates! could you tell me please, because I receive mine 12.dec and it has been produced in october, I just want to make sure would I have the steering and suspension upgrades on mine ?
The one I had was a press car from Mazda so contained all the changes for 2024.
My lady has the 23. I have the 24. They are in fact fixed. Rides great.
Nice congrats!
The 23 is fixed to? Which one does she have?
The tire pressure is in the app. Quick and simple. Just click on status.
Actually go into the Information center screen and go into the top setting and I forget but i think it was in maintenance
I used to have a Mazda 3 and I appreciated the feedback that I could feel from the car as I drove. Sure, it could get overwhelming if I was stuck on a road full of potholes, but otherwise it didn't bother me at all. I recently test drove a 2024 CX-50 Premium Plus and I love how it handled.
Nice Mazda definitely carries sportiness into its SUVs.
I'm seriously considering replacing my 2015 VW GTI with a CX50.
However, I'm going to look for a used Preferred Plus trim in about a year and a half.
I should be able to get one for around $25,000 by then.
Coming from the GTI, I actually WANT the firmer ride and heavier steering of the earlier model CX50's.
I imagine it''ll still feel soft compared to the GTI.
Honestly you may want a CX-30 then. The CX-50 still feels like a big & wide vehicle compared to GTI. ruclips.net/video/NZupQxF0rWs/видео.htmlsi=pHwO3SE4waZ8ICun
I recently replaced my 2017 Golf R (manual) with CX-50 GT Turbo. After a 2-week of daily driving, I am super satisfied with the CX-50. I am a big fan of Mini (owned 5-door S and Clubman S), and this CX-50 GT Turbo is very much like Mini Countryman (probably performs somewhat between S and JCW in my opinion). Depending on your own car experience and preference, you may like CX-30 more, but if you need little bit more room, then CX-50 should work really well.
I own 2023 cx50 turbo for 9 month and 12k miles. Please consider following as a reasons not to switch to Cx50 : 1. Cx50 handellingand does not feel as intimate as GTI. 2. Paint chips extremely easily. Consider to spend $$ on PPF with Mazda. 3. Mazda DOES NOT listen to its owners. The remote start software MazdaConnect does not allow you to set the climate settings. The engine shut down once the door is open… these are Extremely annoying quirks especially during winter season. And there is no software update to fix these issues for more the a year. The software bugs could be fixed in one week. 4. New Cx50 depreciates $8-$10k in its first year. GTI holds its price extremely well.
2023 Cx50 turbo ride with 20 inch wheels is loud and harsh. I still like cx50 compared to other small SUVs, but if you do not need such to support your lifestyle - stick with GTI.
@@vrojcov I already ditched the GTI for a CX5 (non turbo) - not 50.
I didn't expect the CX5 to handle like the GTI, but the Mazda handles extremely well. I'm very happy with the handling of it for an SUV.
As for paint chips, the forum I was on for the GTI had numerous people saying that paint chipped easily.
As for remote start - I don't use it.
I started to download the app, then thought "Why the hell am I doing this?"
I don't want to 'eff around with my phone to deal with my car.
I don't always even take the phone with me.
As for ride - I stuck with 17" wheels with generous sidewalls.
I'm done with huge huge wheels and low profile tires.
I don't miss my GTI at ALL.
I love how my mazda3 feels… when I drive a Toyota, they feel floaty to me. Honda is somewhere in the middle. The interiors of Mazdas look and feel better than other vehicles in the same price range. If you are shopping for a car or suv, make sure to test drive a Mazda and feel the difference.
Tire pressure monitor is also in the Mazda app
Ah good to know thanks!
not for the discontinued cx9..and it sucks,..they don't fix it
Sad they didn't update the key fob for 2024, its so cheap feeling.
How is the width on the seats? I have a 21 6Carbon Ed. And while I like the car, I feel like I don’t fit in the seats and I’m stocky but they just feel small
Thanks for the update review. Personally I'm waiting for them to incorporate the proposed Toyota Hybrid system.
Thanks for watching! Yes should be soon actually.
How the quality of the vehicle? Any lose exterior parts / interior parts?
Quality seemed fine to me.
How were the seats in comparison to the 2023. We are selling our 2023 TP+ because the seats are unbearable.
Yeah no improvement to the seats unfortunately.
Thats dissapointing. There is no other mid sized SUV with the Looks and driving experience of the CX-50. Well maybe the Jag.. but then there is jag realiability. Maybe I get a CX-50 and have the seats moddified.@@CarGuy11
@Leewilly440 did u have the leather or fabric seats?
@@erbrooks TP+. Leather.
I’m looking at the Mazda for my next suv I’m debating between the CX5 n the CX 50! Or just get another RAV4 that is newer
All good choices. Unfortunately I haven’t reviewed a CX5 yet to compare.
so for the conculsion, if I wanna go and buy now a cx-50 from the dealer, how do I make sure I get the new updated suspension and steering wheel and I'm not getting screwed with the older version?
its actually a shame people complained about it. they dont understand how awesome the previous feel was.
My wife just bought a new car. She chose the Honda CRV but test drove a CX-5, CX-50 and RAV-4. She immediately eliminated the RAV-4. Her observation was that the CX-50, while having higher ground clearance, rode lower and the ride was a bit too harsh for her, so that was eliminated next. For her it was a toss-up between the CX-5 and CRV. Among all of those options, my preference would have been the CX-50. Between those two my preference was the CX-5, for better driver experience and for what I believe should be better long term reliability, given its mature platform. She chose the CRV primarily because she has owned one before and she is best friends with somebody whose husband is a Honda mechanic, lol. Ok.
Nice I actually loved the CRV Hybrid I reviewed! ruclips.net/video/QWYCGS2_l5w/видео.htmlsi=s1kmJKsanPCBhPBO
@@CarGuy11 - Yeah, I don't think the CRV was a bad choice at all and I told her, while I had a preference, I thought both were good choices. She wasn't going to go wrong picking from those two. I found her reasoning humorous but it wasn't flawed ... always good to have a trusted mechanic in your back pocket.
This CX50, is only for north America market. Faring./Miles on the dash Board, can Europe buyers convert to metric: Celc./Km??? And FM 88-108 even numbers on media sistem?
Yes metric is an option in the settings menu.
I didn’t pull the trigger on this car for your two reasons exactly! Steering and rough ride - these are the reasons I loved Mazda and for them to not have a smooth ride on this car was a huge let down.
Unfortunately now the price is just crazy! You can almost get a BMW X3 for that price!
Yeah I’d stick to lower trims or CX-5.
Needs digital dashboard…
@@jccancel5941no
A Mazda does not turn into an endless money pit like a BMW does.
@@DrT1250 lol that's true - but I was just comparing price points
Saying they fixed things and showing the fix are 2 different things
Now how could he have "shown the fixes" in a video format?
@@rlsedition easily
@@Mrtellitlikeitis "Heavy steering" was a complaint in the 2023 CX-50. How do you show the problem has been fixed with a video?
The center stitch on the seat is a deal breaker.
lol whatever.
Non turbos should never get 20 inch wheels.
Yeah they definitely affect the ride.
Yeah, the 20 inch rims kill the ride and I am a mazda lifer
I have the 17 inch wheels on my 23 prefered plus.
Rides better then with the 20s
Just swapped out the 20s on my 24' premium plus for 17 wheels and Wildpeak tires.. so glad I did!
I recently replaced my 2017 Golf R (manual) with CX-50 GT Turbo. After a 2-week of daily driving in Canada, I am super satisfied with the performance of CX-50. I am a big fan of Mini (have owned 5-door S and Clubman S), and this CX-50 GT Turbo is very much like Mini Countryman (probably performs somewhat between S and JCW in my opinion). Unlike the other SUV competitors, sport mode with the paddle shift in CX-50 provides you much more fun driving experience like Mini. But, be prepare for a bad fuel economy when you drive it like Mini ;) The performance of CX-50 is even much better (feeling) than 2021 BMW X3. I have also owned 2019 SQ5, but I think CX-50 Turbo is more fun in city driving (SQ5 is much better in a high speed though). This is a very interesting vehicle. You may be surprised if you test-drive it.
Yes Mazda’s are always fun to drive!
I am getting one this week. Would you recommend non Turbo or Turbo?
Thanks for posting this. My daily was a 2019 Golf R-did 93,000 awesome miles. Then I took my wife’s Touareg. Now I’m shopping for bad-weather cars. If you had a Golf R and like this, it’s a good sign for me. I sat in one tonight and loved the driving position.
@@user-cu5pl1qv7h Turbo for sure in CX-50 as it’s on the heavy side.
@@CarGuy11 Thanks 🙏🏻
Tire pressure has been in the center 😂 I have a 2023 it’s there 😂
Right I missed it last year.
Hello, sir! Could you please ship it to Russia ?😅
Probably going to buy this car because there's nothing else worth getting in this segment.
It’s a good choice for sure.
Agreed. This is the SUV for people that don't want an SUV.
Yes the smaller ones ARE a better "VALUE"--- but they're NOT as cool looking... it's the LOOK of the CX-50- and nothing else.. that sells it!!!
True definitely looks tougher.
I actually like the looks of this vehicle quite a bit. It’s really eye catching when you see one on the road. However, I was disappointed to discover how many owners complained about what a piece of junk it is in comparison to the CX-5.
I really want to get a CX-5 for review now. It has the independent rear suspension and think it’s probably the sweet spot for space & price.
@@CarGuy11 It appears so. I have never driven either. But just based on looks I thought this had more appeal inside and out. Of course there are some that seem to enjoy it, but an overwhelming amount of people seem to be much happier with the CX-5 in terms of comfort and driving experience.
@Ricky-mo6mv Don't put too much emphasis on what those people think. They are the crowd that expected the CX50 to be exactly like a cx5. What sense does that make? Hey meet my new car, same as the old car! Mazda designed the 50 for a different buyer. The CX5 is really a lower priced luxury vehicle the CX50 was designed to be more utilitarian and so they didn't make the interior as sophisticated. There are cheaper plastics in it. I've been in both and I thought the 50 was just fine. Mazda just put the money in different places on it. Like the Pano roof, the larger interior, which the 5 doesn't have. They gsve the buyer 2 different choices but some fans of the 5 can't understand that.
@@differencemaker242 Likely some good points there Sir..
@Ricky-mo6mv Yeah man, it's like the guy who travels to Miami and complains that's its not like his home in NYC. It's like yeah, who knew you'd see different things and have different experiences in a different place. They fail to appreciate the differences.
You want a button on the dash for everything ....no thanks .
Tengo una..super nave
Seats still zippered for your pleasure. Nope.
beyond firm, my biggest complaint.
Write - me - a - ticket - red?
😝
for me, the main complaint is that they don't have touchscreen
It is a touch screen when in CarPlay at a stop but agree.
Lol pushing for the outdated cx-5😅
I AGREE with you on the red--- it is THE only color they have that is worth looking at... they USE to have a beautiful glow blue like that- but don't offer that any more.. I wanted Meridian- but can't get it but in those two UGLY colors-- so I'll do one MYSELF.
Oh wow would have loved the blue! Do you remember what it was called?
The sand color is better 😉
I love the white, and polymetal grey.
@@Incomudro1963 I have white and am sort of getting tired of just white-- although I DO think it looks GREAT on these body styles. I want the soul RED. They use to have a blue that "glowed" like the soul red does but don't offer it now- although that dark one is close- but a bit dark for me.
@@davidwayne9982 I understand, and Mazda's Soul Red is the best red in the industry.
I'm trying - and failing - to convince my wife that my '18 CX-5 (30k miles) is really too old and I need to consider a CX-50. Wish me luck.
Haha good luck!
Haha! I’m trying to convince myself that my 2020 CX-5 is too old with 35K miles on it…kinda want to see the CX-70, but it’s probably bigger than I want
Yeah curious about CX-70 too and hopefully they work out some of the issues CX-90 had. ruclips.net/video/kRZr2Tq5CcY/видео.htmlsi=_yv7KW-1d8cXBPZH
I'm the opposite. I have a 2014 Mazda 6 with 139k miles and my wife has been strongly 'suggesting' that its time for something new. I'm considering the CX-50 Turbo Premium in polymetal machine gray but I also like the fact that I don't have any car payments to make. Its a quandary.
Japanese engineers still can't get rid of those eggplant style gear levers, Toyota and Honda, Nissan and others have this same ugly looking lever.
Carguy11, you do realize that 2024 CX-50 you are driving does not have the changes that Mazda will be making. The production start date of the revisions don't begin until the first week of December. So unless you live right next to factory you actually didn't notice anything and you fooled yourself into thinking it's changed.😂
This is actually a preproduction press car from Mazda that has all the updates.
💣 BOOM! You got served! 😂
Now remember going forward to not act like you know better than the guy doing the review.
🙈🙉🤮
