This is a fantastic comparison video. Extremely well done! Would love to see more videos/formats like this.

[@everymandriver]

+Mr Bobby Brown Thank you, I'm proud of how this turned out - Dave, Everyman Driver

[@sandygray1239]

This is fabulous! Exactly what I needed to see to make my decision between the two models. I've been asking the salesmen to verbally give me something like this and they look at me like I'm from Mars and say "it's up to you". Thank you so much!

[@kimculbertson5626]

thank you so much for making this video. it was the tipping point on deciding on the CX5. cheers man!

[@saquoiag]

Great vid, thanks for uploading!

[@4OOQ]

Great comparison video!! Very informative

[@bgsports7255]

Great video, extremely helpful!

[@michaelgrayson409]

Wait. You're telling me the compact SUV is larger than the sub-compact SUV? Revelation.

[@pmd7530]

My point exactly. (Although, i have just learnt that the cheaper car actually costs less.)

[@siryzekiel5340]

yes it is

[@everymandriver]

Glad I could help help you!

[@mistermike081]

Thanks for the comparison Dave. You really answered a lot of my questions about both cars.

Great comparison video. Thanks.

I think the CX-5 won for me cause it's my dream car 😍

[@user-mo9qq4ly8p]

I want either! But I’d have to find a seller on Craigslist if I want it lol..

[@jonsch8275]

Thanks Dave! Great video! Looks like I have the better of the duo for me at least.

[@kadedunn35]

“Speaking of Head, here it is” 😂😂😂😂

[@bmarie8965]

They look almost same size but I'd prefer the C x 3 sporty look

[@bloodandwinearered]

Great comparison and reviews. Well done. I am decided on the 3 because there will never be anyone in the back seat (and probably the passenger seat) and the storage space is fine for one person to me. I can just but a small pillow behind me for lumbar support and save $3, 000.00. Hey, are you talking USD or CAD?

[@josealexander9794]

we just got a CX3 2017 FWD for a daily 120 miles commute. CX5 is obviously bigger but the CX3 is the right size between CX5 and Mazda 3 for commuting and city drive with good gas mileage and nice compactness, but if you look for cargo space, the CX5. we also have a Unlimited Wrangler that solves the need for cargo and space.

[@J_S_246]

Very neat video comparison. No BS. I like it. For posterity, I will get the Mazda CX-5, when I can afford it. ;)

[@discomfortzone]

Another fantastic video Dave. So glad you did one on the 2016 model. I just bought a CX-5 myself.

[@everymandriver]

+Nick B Thank you, I really enjoyed putting this together - Dave, Everyman Driver

[@user-mo9qq4ly8p]

How much to you pay for it? Are you still enjoying it ?

[@msaddicted2utube]

Is the CX5 in this video a Sport, Touring or Grand Touring? Thanks!

[@clint7312]

This is the exact comparison I was looking for! I like the size of the cx3 but I prefer some scoot so maybe have to go with cx5.

[@mextijuas5]

that cx3 needs! the E brake button, it will save so much space on a already cramp space. also it wouldn't hurt to make a 2 inches longer on the rear seats. The cx5 is a great car for singles, couples, small 4 members family with the kids being in the age where they don't need to be in rear car seats and are not teens yet and you don't need to carry a stroller any more. if kids are on the way the cx5 is the way to go. rigth now I have a 2 year old daughter and planning on having one more so in 6 month I'll be buying a crossover (currently own a 2 door jeep, cramp and we suffer for almost 2 years) thanks for the review Eric, it's just that I would like the lower models to be teste and only front wheel drive. I'm from San Diego so we never have snow (only in the mountains).

[@cemilcam]

Good video..I love both Mazda..thanks.

[@sunnflowerr11]

CX-5, it's very beautiful I love it

[@TheMunguia80]

Good review straight and clear

[@mikefly562]

I have the CX-5 and I'm really enjoying it. I think the CX-3 looks fantastic, but the interior layout of the CX-5 is a lot better, especially in regards to the cup holders. On the CX-5, the cup holders are easily accessible, while on the CX-3, you need to move the arm rest out of the way in order to reach the cup holders. Mazda really has a nice line up though with all their vehicles.

[@emeraldeyes8688]

Agreed. The cup holder situation is no bueno on the CX-3. I own one and so far it’s my only dislike.

[@MrMazda-ih8cw]

This is an awesome video, Dave. All you need now is to get your hands on the new CX-9!! The difference between these two crossovers IMO is purely down to the needs of the driver.

[@everymandriver]

+Mr. Mazda I probably will get one but I doubt I'll have the other two on hand at the time :-) - Dave, Everyman Driver

[@mikesmith5375]

+Everyman Driver the cx4 is being released in 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@luvinsweetlife]

Hi. Love your video comparison. Can you make a video comparison w/ 2015-2016 Mazda CX5: grand touring, touring to Honda CRV: Touring awd, touring, SE, EX, EXL, etc. Which ones are better for older adults first time drivers?! Which are better features, and what are the warranties/guarantee for each vehicles?! Thanks. 😄

[@luvinsweetlife]

Automatic transmissions, 2wd, & awd. What are the prices, is it better to drive used or new, and how much mileages are best if buy used ones?! I seen many leadership selling used and new ones w/ same prices. It's hard to decide the better one. Which brands are best for safety and extended guarantee of the vehicles?!

[@user-ox7bd8dq9m]

Is this gentleman behind the “EA SPORTS, ITS IN THE GAME” phrase!?

[@ormand3000]

I like this format, Dave. Can you compare the Honda HRV and CRV, and Audi Q3 and Q5 in the same manner? Thanks

[@everymandriver]

+ormand3000 Probably not in this same manner... it's rare I have two cars together but I can work on it - Dave, Everyman Driver

Good job

[@fdeen5229]

which is faster? cx3 2.0 or cx5 2.5

[@coastlinemazda1]

Your intro needs to be edited. You say the 2016 CX5 and the 2016 CX3 both have a 2.0lt 4 cylinder. Well the 2016 CX5 has a 2.5 ltr 4 cylinder with 185 hrs power. Other wise great video.

[@uriahthegreat2764]

Could you tell us the MSRP, Price As Tested, of both models you reviewed?

[@everymandriver]

+UriahTheGreat There were both the top trim level. Are you doing research on either one of these? - Dave, Everyman Driver

good good review

[@iamnotu79]

I’m 7 years late to the party, however, I’m trying to decide between these two very models right now (used). Now I’m all mixed up and don’t know which I want. Ugh.

[@everymandriver]

If you visit quotes.everymandriver.com you can see what’s being offered. It’s a free search engine.

[@iamnotu79]

@@everymandriver I think for me it’s a choice between compact and room. I’m in love with the CX-3 style inside and out but the functionality of the CX-5 plus roominess is more practical. Still a good looking unit as well.

[@angelbluerider9588]

question is it reliable as a 2016 Toyota Rav4 in the long run. i hear Toyota is always more reliable.

[@darwindhasan]

The Basic CX5 Version in Thailand is sold at the price of $38,000 start. Really wonder why customers have to pay $14,000 more in Thailand?

[@donnad3133]

I would take the cx-5

[@CaboWabotv]

CX-5 is the best!

[@JericTamayo]

You're kidding right? Comparing the CX-3 with CX-5 is like comparing apples vs orange. They aren't in the same line of competition..

[@pedrof830]

Comparing 2 vehicles in different classes is not the right thing to do, apples to apples is more helpful.

[@everymandriver]

+pedrof830 This was fun and it sounds like many people are finding it helpful. It wasn't about 'apples to apples'. - Dave, Everyman Driver

[@redmusichouse]

+Everyman Driver Thanks Dave! This is very useful for those who like Mazda but can't decide which size to settle on

[@pmd7530]

Possibly the most pointless car review video out there. Why compare 2 cars from different segments without being agnostic? They're are obviously different in size so telling viewers that the CX5 has more leg room and a wider centre console than a CX3 is ...well...obvious! What next? A comparison video between the a BMW 3 series and a BMW 7 series where it's "Advantage 7 series" because the bigger car is bigger? As for the position of the CX5 arm rest being lower, that would depend on the height of the seat as the armrest is fixed. Nothing is demonstrated to show how the cars perform on the road (acceleration, handling, AWD capabilities etc), and the only bit where we see the car moving, you provide a list of features than could've been given whilst static. So in summary, if you want the bigger car, buy the bigger car, and if you want the cheaper car, buy the cheaper car, and if you need AWD capabilities then just toss a coin.

[@Madi1231kitty]

I can not BELIEVE the CX-3 is smaller than the CX-5.. next you’re going to tell me water is wet. Also... you don’t need to say “I like”statements. I want a comparison, not a personally opinion. Where is the acceleration, the handling, the DRIVING?... disappointed.
