💯!! Just got mine a month ago and LOVE it! I’ve been sleeping on Mazda for years and ever since I got one, now I see it everywhere. Don’t know how I missed it for so long.
Once Mazda has hybrid models for most of their vehicles they’re going to be the best economical brand. They just need to go ahead and bring their trucks to the US too.
The hybrid version of this has the engine and drive train pulled right out of the RAV4, meaning you also get the CVT. A Mazda with a CVT. What the fuck.
Just passed 5k miles on our '25 CX-50 Turbo Premium in wind chill pearl. You said it right, its not too high... Not too low... And really fun to drive around town.
This is a really nice looking SUV inside and out, some say the CX-5 is the better way to go but I think either one of them would be a really nice daily driver SUV.
A buddy of mine picked up a 2024 Premium version, and he keeps telling me how fun and good this car his. I might upgrade to an hybrid Mazda myself in coming years coming from a 2021 Trailblazer activ.
I do love this Mazda cx30 and I feel like this is one dandy of a car. I want to wish you and Lori a merry Christmas and I hope you guys do a lot more reviews in this upcoming year
Mazdas are very elegant but simple cars yes they are stubborn with no touch screen while all the other cars out there in 2024-5 have dual screens and touch. I wish most cars will add ambient lighting in lower trims more then stitching
We personally passed on this a couple months ago for my wife’s new cx5 Carbon addition. she nor i liked the cx50 it was just too squatty and flared out looking with too much clatting. We did like the center console better but that was about it. After living with it for 2 months we hate the knob only controls for the infotainment screen we use apple CarPlay and touch works about half the time for some reason we have tried her phone and mine same problem. I’d prefer a full time touchscreen.
You don’t have the top trim so no zonk on the camera. The turbo premium plus (top trim) does have it. I’ll also add that even though the interior “looks” premium the materials are not premium. Mazda did a great job creating that illusion, and that’s not a dig. The CX50 is awesome!
Yeah I'm a big Zoom Zoom fan myself, I graduated from highschool in 2000, so I think that might've been right before they started it. I don't think we still had the car when it was going on, but yeah I really enjoyed those commercials. The RX-8 in the X Men movie was also pretty inspirational too though.😕🙂🤓😎🤠😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
Joe, don't worry about the confession.rubix cubes were difficult for most people anyways.we don't hold it against you😅😅😅 Whenever you get a chance try and see if you can review a Buick Regal Tour X. It's a car i have driven before, considering buying right now. Nice thing about it it's an AWD WAGON and the 2.0L turbo four is very responsive to tuning
Yeah these are great cars, in highschool my mom had a 95 Mazda Milenia S. I had a 91 Saturn SL2 in 10th grade when I first got my license, but something happened to that car. The heads might've blown or something, but 11th and 12th grade I used to take the Mazda Milenia to school, that supercharged V6 was nice, I also think the 2.5 was 6 liter motors back then too. It was fun while it lasted, we had aftermarket wheels and I also upgraded the car audio when the factory radio went out. Unfortunately a year or so after I graduated, someone car jacked me at a gas station. I probably was out too late, but that was a nice car, hopefully the Mazda 6 can keep up with the performance of those older cars. This truck is nice too though, I'm slowly getting used to the style of the headlights. But I like the name of the color on this truck too though.😕🙂🤓😎🤠😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
@crouchb15 first tucson doesn't have a cvt and the newer Forester are reliable no cvt problem will last a long time there are many Forester with 200k miles plus, just upgrade every 5yrs and subaru is the most reliable new cars now toyota are no longer reliable.
@@AlexAlex-gs1xh I won’t argue with what Tucson/Sportage and Forester have to offer. Unfortunately, I’m stuck on the stigma that only women and old people drive them. Blame social media.🤷🏻♂️ But that said, I did point my sister to the Forester after having a bad experience with her Compass after only 3 years. I wanna say she’s worse than me when it comes to trash talking stellantis. She can blame me for that 😆
Mazda has become pure junk I hear nothing about complaints from all forums on all platforms associated with, engines, transmissions , electrical. I owned 2 and will never go back to the brand again all their vehicles are not even fuel efficient enough for my liking. Better vehicles to choose from than Mazdas . Now I hear they are going to partner with Mazda Nissan. They have already partnered with Toyota and even with the new CX50 Hybrid they still can't even meet the mpg the RAV4 can and they share the same power trains .
Joe reviewing a cx50 is a Christmas present to me
My wife just got the same one same color and she loves it two weeks ago.
The 25’ Mazda CX50 hybrid, shares the same power plant and drivetrain as the Toyota rav 4 hybrid. I had one as a loaner, it was great.
Everywhere I look these days it's a CX-5 or CX-50. Crazy how popular Mazda has become
2024 CX-5 Signature here. Spot on lol. I didn’t realize how many CX-5s were out there until I got mine then started spotting them EVERYWHERE.

It’s the same drivetrain as the Toyota rav 4 hybrid, with a Mazda body
That still means it’s better than Toyota.
@@theredsalmon612sure does!
Toyota quality for a lower price point…hell yeah it’s better than buying a Toyota.
Oooff imagine a hybrid hatchback 😮💨

A Mazda with a CVT.
What the fuck.

Joe, it was a good overall review. Yes, I think Mazda does do it better in many ways in this segment of the suv crossover market.
This is a really nice looking SUV inside and out, some say the CX-5 is the better way to go but I think either one of them would be a really nice daily driver SUV.
Yes. For sure. If you need a hybrid this will check all the boxes
As much as I like the CX-50 I hope they keep and update the CX-5 as well, I like the size and styling of it better.
The Turbo S Premium Plus has the 360° camera. This must be the model right below the top trim. That camera should be available in all models.
Fr
Bring back the rx7, rx8 and Mazda 6
Merry Christmas 🎅
I like it ! Seems like it has a wide stance to it.
I would get the hybrid version and save some gas $$
Merry Christmas Tom
A buddy of mine picked up a 2024 Premium version, and he keeps telling me how fun and good this car his. I might upgrade to an hybrid Mazda myself in coming years coming from a 2021 Trailblazer activ.
Merry Christmas, Joe and Lori!
Yes of course Joe & I'm actually buying this.
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
This is best both world! Toyota & Mazda,but I wish they had a little wider seats for North American market,imho.
I do love this Mazda cx30 and I feel like this is one dandy of a car. I want to wish you and Lori a merry Christmas and I hope you guys do a lot more reviews in this upcoming year
The Mazda CX-50 is a cool crossover! It has a sporty design and is known for its fun handling.
Mazdas are very elegant but simple cars yes they are stubborn with no touch screen while all the other cars out there in 2024-5 have dual screens and touch. I wish most cars will add ambient lighting in lower trims more then stitching
You could always tell the guys who moved the Rubik's cube stickers. The stickers never quite lined up right.
It’s a real pleasure to drive
Love the CX50!!!!!
Merry Christmas Brothers
Nice vehicle for 43k, Looks and Power, Clean Interior

Also remember ... In 1990, Mazda introduced the first-ever GPS system for automotive navigational use

Yes of course Joe & I'm really like this vehicle.
Merry Christmas Joe 🎄
So is this cx-50 or the new 2025 VW Tiguan which is better.
Drive each one and decide… the Mazda is a much better driving machine
I love the way he reviews cars
i work at mazda in north america, and there is a top trim of the cx50 with a more clear 360 degree camera, maybe do a short video on that if feasible
Does it take regular gas or premium to give 23/29 mpg?
Yup, I need one.
Merry Christmas!
Are we going with the Turbo or with the Hybrid?
Sorry Joe but this isn’t the top trim. And, the top trim does have a forward facing cam.
Merry Christmas, love you
was gonna say the same. missing 360 camera, heads up display, and sensors. unless the trims are different in the USA than Canada
It seems Mazda is doing everything right these days.

Nice thing about it it's an AWD WAGON and the 2.0L turbo four is very responsive to tuning
I guess we are not having a live Q & A session this week?
No 360° camera is a deal breaker.
Looks like all new cars a bath tube upside down😎
😂
MERRY CHRISTMAS you big Italian brother
You too my Pizan
Joe which is better Mazda CX50 2.5 turbo or Honda CRV 2.0 turbo?
There is no crv 2.0t…
god i hate that black plastic cladding
Im gonna have to resort to Turo to rent one of these things....
The CX 50 needs a capless fuel fill
love those rims and low profile tires! 🙂
Great vehicle to buy..
I don't like the criss-cross sticking on the dashboard and the doors. It looks weird and too busy. Why didn't Mazda use the normal sticking pattern?
Hi Raiti's Rides How Are You 2025 BMW Z4 M401 And 2025 BMW XM Label Merry Christmas
I sure am! Merry Christmas
wtf is this comment 💀
No turbos they wear your engines out faster
That’s the norm with all manufacturers. Maintenance is the key to longevity and reliability.
That’s why you go with something that’s naturally aspirated
i think the one with the Toyota motor will sell like hot cakes.
Not bad at all
Merry Christmas, Joe! Best wishes to you, Lori and Oscar.
Juat dont become a Politician. They'll use that Rubiks cube story against you
I luv beer !!!!!
Joe Raiti and Jay Leno should Team Up for One Ultra Review
Lottery Choice Cars
Now we are talking’
Fwd? Im in
it´s not bad
Nice
Look up CX 3
Another screen that appears to just be a tablet glued onto the dash.
eh. cx-5 turbo is superior. Not a fan of the whole dash area.
Nice🇸🇦

One word. Outdated
I need more hip room! The CX-5 does NOT have enough 🥺
So no android auto ? 😮😢
Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 LOOK SOOOO BOORRING COMPARING TO CX-50 WHICH IS EXITING AND UPLIFTING!
9:35 🙋🏽♂️ President of the Nuts. Mazda has the worst entertainment console.
Both overpriced, has no features, small screen. The tucson and forester is the best out of all
Good luck with that thought!
@dvrn1 why? Forester is cheaper, has more features, bigger screen and reliable too the newer ones.
Until the CVT goes at 60k
@crouchb15 first tucson doesn't have a cvt and the newer Forester are reliable no cvt problem will last a long time there are many Forester with 200k miles plus, just upgrade every 5yrs and subaru is the most reliable new cars now toyota are no longer reliable.

Don't know what shit you're hearing. Must be on a Subaru one
You alright? What mazda nissan are you talking about??
You're crazy.
Forgot to take his meds
@hnnotyy “Mazda Nissan”…just how much crack have you been smoking?
Or maybe I should be asking: how much paint chips have you been eating?
I’ll take 12 inches 😅
