10 Things I DON'T Like About My Ute - Mazda BT50 Review

[@jackym1793]

Hey Nas, keyless auto door lock can be turned off via the infotainment system if u want. Otherwise I found walking closer to the door (quickly) while walking towards the boot could be another way around it. Hope that helps.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Yeah I'm learning some tricks to outsmart it. 😂

[@OverlandPNW]

Good list. The back locking before you can get the groceries out would be on the top of my list of things that I wish they got right.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Yeah it's getting hard to live with at times. Thanks for watching buddy.

[@RobertEaves]

Can’t you just turn walk away lock off ?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Thanks for the shout mate! BT looking good!

[@NasTimeAdventures]

You do great work. Cheers buddy.

[@subielife9955]

Overall I like my bt 50. Both engine and transmission work well together and has loads of power for me. One of the things I hate is the amount of rattles and creaking I have from the interior. Around the climate control and touchscreen is always creaking while driving and a few little rattles on both seats belts and on the dash. Dealer fixed a couple but still have the issues. Hopefully all will be resolved. Good video though 👍

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Really can't say I have noticed a lot of rattling. A little but for me, it is better than other cars I've had so never really bothered about it. At leaast Mazda are trying to rectify the problem. Good luck.

[@waratahdavid696]

Excellent presentation mate, beautifully paced.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Much appreciated.

[@mikim7852]

I love my bt 50 this is not serious problems mate. If you by a ford you will be calling a tow truck often keep your mazda all new models come with more problems.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

I'm pretty happy with this rig. Glad I chose this.

[@siyabongagumede7251]

Was it necessary to bash another brand while complimenting yours?🤷🏿‍♂️

[@christopher54179]

Yep I turned that annoying auto lock off together with setting the AEB sensitivity to near. I’ve had the AEB activate when I was definitely not too close. Can disable but must do it every time you restart. Such a pain. Shoulda kept the old Triton!!Otherwise so enjoying my new BT50SP.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

It's easier to leave the keys in the car when camping. But I don't always trust it.

[@gsxrbbfletch]

I paid extra for the wireless charger as well. $360. It's a piece of junk. Asked them to look at it during my 1k service and was told use a cable. Told them they sold it to me and are now telling me to use a cable and asked for a refund said we can't do that sorry.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

That's nasty.

[@elevan2760]

Have you had any issues witu uneven tire wear on the front tyres due to the steering knuckle/suspension defect?

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Have noticed some uneven wear. Mazda just did the new spec wheel alignment but I'm not confident. I reckon some more work will be in order soon.

[@elevan2760]

Check the channel 'showmehow' for tips. He's got 3 vids on the replacement of the steering knuckle. Good vid

[@adamlongden2099]

You can change the auto locking to only activate when you press the key or button on door handle.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Ahhh. Good to know. I'll look into that. Thanks.

[@geraldvalguna1990]

thats what happen when a s2pd content creator dont read manuals and leave everything in default.

[@LockyourHubs4WDing]

The wireless charger is "allegedly" 15w. (Should be plenty). What phone are you running?

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Samsung S20+

[@LockyourHubs4WDing]

@@NasTimeAdventures the iPhone artificially cripple wireless charging down to 7.5w without their proprietary wireless charger. Though the Samsung should be able to charge, no worries. Try it without your phone cover, some can attenuate the strength of the charging field.

[@markhopkins9925]

Thanks Nas , good review on the bad things on BT50 . Keep ‘em coming ! 👍👍🍻🍻

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Thanks, will do! ☺️

[@pete1701]

I have a fair bit of wind noise drivers side door from 80 km onwards is it common? The car is great to drive I have a Ultimate 9 X installed which is great for towing better throttle response.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

I pretty much always drive with the window open so I do get some noise. Windshields help but snorkel doesn't. A throttle controller is essential in any car I drive these days. A great car all round for touring. 😀🙏

[@Real_G_no_Gimics]

Hi 👋 question will there be a new Mazda bt50 coming out soon? Maybe in 2025

[@NasTimeAdventures]

I would expect a new model maybe in 2026 but best to check with Mazda.

[@fatmanoverlanding]

The wireless charger not having enough oomph when Apple Carplay or Android Auto is in use will be an issue for me. And just like my vehicle, I too have to click and acknowledge their T&Cs on the screen each time I start the car. This too is annoying. The rest you mentioned, I can learn to live with.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

That's what it's about. Learning to live with it.

[@krisgilmore6844]

Your locking issue can be deactivated if you go in to your settings and turn it off

[@NasTimeAdventures]

I don't want to switch it off. I just want more time. Thanks.

[@wrigzzx]

I think the wireless charging issue applies to all cars. My skoda has the same issue

[@NasTimeAdventures]

New phone. Same problem.

[@tristanmachutchison573]

how is it offroad mate? thoughts on hilux SR5 vs this?

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Been quite impressed with it offroad. I have linked a video below of a recent drive. As for the Toyota, can't tell you too much about them. I am not personally a fan of the brand. Overrated and overpriced. Just my opinion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqaYpXltebqsrpo

[@eds4wdcamping]

It sounds like you're having some real issues with the BT 50. I'd sell it just get rid of it 😅

[@NasTimeAdventures]

I do like the new Prado. 😉

[@no8wire810]

So no real issues, just wining really How’s the engine and gearbox and off-road capabilities All that stuff you mention is small fry Does it turn on and drive long distances without you feeling 0:06 fatigued ? If yes, I’m in You seem like the type of guy who would have done alot of homework before you brought it

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Cheers mate. I have a few more relevant videos you may find useful. Yes I did put a lot of thought into this car. It was my dream build. I'll always find a few things wrong but I chose this car because there were a lot more things right. It does well offroad and is now set up as a beast of a tourer. I'm aching to do a bigger trip again. Cheers bud.

[@AlanMTrikeMan]

6.35 minutes of my life I’ll never get back…..

[@no8wire810]

Ok So I’ve just got mine, based on your review I went with BT50 over all overs as you didn’t really have much to complain about 😂 I love it, BUT And it is a big BUT The auto brake came on when Ute decided I was too close to a turning left vehicle Scared the shit out of me and the guy behind me just about ran up my ass I see that you can turn that off but pain in the ass that it resets once vehicle is turned off Goes bloody well off road here in New Zealand and is sooooooo comfortable to drive and plenty of room I’m 6’3’ and reasonably solid and have room to move about Again that’s for your vid

[@markt9156]

great video mate really helpful! we are looking at one would you recommend the vehicle? how’s the fuel consumption around town etc?

[@NasTimeAdventures]

I have been quite happy with the car. Still my pic of the bunch. Fuel consumption has been ok. Pretty much on par with what Mazda suggests from my experience.

[@markt9156]

@@NasTimeAdventures that’s awesome thank you for the info! very hard to navigate all the different utes out there. just trying to avoid anything with major issues! have you had the tyre wear issue?

[@ChrisBadams-to6pt]

Haven’t taken a few for a test drive I’ll find them a little bit rattly and noisy inside

[@NasTimeAdventures]

I found it better than my last car but for me, the reality is, I feel all car companies have cheaped out and more and more cars are rattlers. I found Nissan to be the worst though. Just felt so cheap.

[@LOG1E]

100% agree with these !

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Cheers bud. Still a great car. 🙏

[@bobhunt8527]

I agree with some but disagree with others, what really annoyed me is his repetitious use of "Guys" Condescending in my book.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Noted. Hard to change though. Sorry.

[@Sawadventures67]

I would have to agree with ed sell it I give you a grand 😂 great clip though very informative made my mind up about not buying one 😂😂

[@geraldvalguna1990]

thumbs down for your s2pd content. definitely a ford lover.. found on road dead or perhaps fix it or repair daily ute no?

[@NasTimeAdventures]

I personally liked the Ranger but too many mates who had them told me NO. Mazda wins this one. 😂😉 Sorry buddy. Appreciate your support though. 😘😎

[@cameronelphick8834]

In all honesty mate you’re just jumping on here to have a whinge they aren’t big problems.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

I do love my BT50 overall. But I am hoping Mazda will watch this and makes it an even better rig.

[@gw5436]

I've had a few BT's in a row now, starting from 2012 to current... and my wife always has Rangers or HiLuxes... and a BIG difference between these and the BT's is ALWAYS the incredibly crap infotainment and comfort (ergonomics and intuitiveness) systems in the BT... must be the same boring design teams at Mazda...

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Definitely room for improvement.
