A FUN SUV?!---2016 Mazda CX-5 Review

[@KROWNCHAKRATV]

Bro went from a car salesman to a car tells man..Like a Boss

[@CertifiedMcLarenSennaglazer]

Lvl one brokie to Lvl 100 mafia boss

[@Bropius1]

Here I am in 2023 watching how this man began because right now he’s the best in the game 🧢 This proves consistency is very important,thank you sir

[@san.ooo5]

I enjoy seeing popular youtubers' first videos

[@enioluwaodunjo]

Same here man. Had to filter comments by newest to see yours. It's incredible how far he's come

[@san.ooo5]

@@enioluwaodunjo Agreed

[@faheembasheer4192]

Bro doesn’t know he’s about to become the best car reviewer in 6 years 😅😂

[@nomad5299]

One of the best. Best of them all imo is probably Mat Watson.

Amazing to see your growth! Consistency wins, so inspiring!

[@R-Mc]

You was so young brother you came a long way brother I'm very very proud of you love to see another human being win

[@Daniela.m.]

Wow I'm so excited. I just purchased the 2016.5 GT fully loaded with the tech package in the beautiful Soul RED. The dealership had to locate the red from another location so I can't wait to pick it up Monday. Great review 👍

[@incarnationcharls]

This is where it's all started ❤❤❤❤. My man came a long way.

[@juandiegoalvarez3594]

This is hands down the best video there is for someone who would like to get to know the CX-5. Is there a chance you could do one for the sport and touring model so we can compare? I would really appreciate that!

[@zydanrussell2824]

Bro was there from the start

[@MsHAHall]

I just bought a Mazda 3, I figure since I'm a new driver, a compact would be ideal for me. But the cx-5 is absolutely breathtaking!! I want that white leather interior SO so badly (mine has black cloth). I also went with the Mica Blue Crystal. Anyway, your review is PERFECT!! Really considering trading my 3 in for this or the cx-9 in the future!

[@gngan]

No doubt the white leather is beautiful to look at until your clothes (e.g. jean) color dye to it.

[@MsHAHall]

+gngan Ugh, I forgot that happens! I'd be so pissed if it stained :(

[@MsHAHall]

+Najee Jackson I am so glad you mentioned the CH-R, because so far it's so perfect! I am in LOVE with the interior!!

Holy crap he was a car salesman first? This is always inspiring

[@xbluexstainx]

This is a great review Forrest, I'm in the market now for a new car and wasn't sure how I felt about the CX5, but you've totally sold me on this one

[@elmontez1024]

Awesome, it really is a great vehicle! Don't even take my word for it. Google 2016 CX-5 reviews, look up reviews on here, check a automotive magazine, they all rate this car extremely high! It really makes my job in sales a lot easier! :) The best part though is definitely the way it drives! Will blow you away!

[@Alex-bl5ls]

Congratulations on your first video bro ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊I did not you released a video eight years ago

[@knp44]

Best car reviewer. Always has been.

[@QTC7]

Excellent, excellent video. Your knowledge & description of features is very informative.

[@cassie1441]

This is an excellent video. Best one I've seen on the CX-5.

[@WelderB1Family]

Consistency and believing in yourself always pays off

[@daniella921]

I must say that the cx5 is a beauty to look at. Glad I have mine in red wine on black 19 rims black interior... its a head turner lol

[@Sirg17x]

Just got this car to replace my old truck. I just have one statement on your nitrogen charge. Can we just call it a $100 tire insurance? Tires are always filled with nitrogen. The atmosphere of earth is 78% nitrogen naturally. Don't try to sell me air as some sort of fancy air lol. Other than that great video. As a CX-5 owner from Iowa I can say that so far I am loving it.

[@DaCub3]

The start of a legend

[@khalidramji8083]

Wow. From where he started to where he is now.. Congrats!

[@johnnytampocao7671]

Great review and I also love this car as I owned a Mazda 3 before.

[@lwhite474]

How are Mazada car I never owned one Before and looking to buy a small suv??

[@pauldarby8398]

Great review, went to a showroom today in England as I'm after the sport nav version that you have just reviewed. I've only taken the SeL version out on a test drive just to get a feel for it. It was the 2.2L D with 150bhp but it did have a bit if poke in it and was better to drive than the Honda crv I test drove the day before. It more fun to drive but the handling was better but was still well equipped with some nice trim though I wished they'd imported the trim from the cx3 model which looks far better in my opinion. I'd definitely go for this colour option, has quite a lot of good feedback compared to its Suv rivals, so I'm definitely considering one.

[@elmontez1024]

Thank you! Being in England your trim levels are actually a bit different. Your sport is a higher level trim. It is opposite for us here in the states. You also can purchase the diesel, an option I wish we had here. We don't allow it because of our strict emission standards. They are very meaty when it comes to torque. That is why it feels very quick with only 150BHP. :) Great, great car! They are very cost friendly when it comes to ownership maintenance as well.

[@roh41l_vfx]

This is where it all started

[@jbm0866]

Didn't read all the replies and I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but $250 for wheel locks? $250 for edge guards? Oh, and my favorite..$99.00 for nitrogen? (We're all breathing some expensive stuff!), Remind me to never shop Autonation Ft Worth (yes, I live in NW Ft Worth) Nice overview of the car though.

[@TheEAGLESFREEDOM]

nice ride...I ll definitely buy this next car the 2 tone interior color are awesome.. the exterior i ll prefer some white. but nice vehicle. thanks man

[@trax_edits]

Nice to see your channel grow

[@michaelmcmurray5889]

ten jay I'm picking mine up from the dealership tomorrow, by far the most fun test drive I had while car shopping this go around. I cross shopped it with the BMW X1, and it was a no brainier to go with the Mazda tbh

[@MET3279]

Great review. So helpful thank you!!!

[@nearsite]

Good video, one suggestion is to get some camera stabilization. Would make this video 100% better!

best suv is 2016.5 my friend bought 2018 model but he still likes mine when he drives

[@roylim194]

What is 2016.5?

[@Hype_great]

Bro went from mazda to a lambo

[@Hype_great]

Fr​@DeNightcrawwler

[@mr.w.w.5277]

Hi. I still wonder how different the cx-5 is in USA and Germany. We have 4 trim levels. Prime, Center, Exclusive and Sport. The "sports line" is the highest one. The 2,5 l petrol engine has not 184 hp like yours in the USA. Our version produce 192 hp. Also some options, or combinations, are not possible in the lower trim levels. It seems you have more possibilities to chose from. Anyway. I call it my own and i'm very satisfied :) Greetings o/

[@mmythzz]

The legends first word Hey

[@Alex-bl5ls]

Did not know you released a video eight years ago

[@Raffah95]

So this is where it all began

[@michaelmcmurray5889]

Bruh Mazda like a elementary school kid with them "and a half" ages 😂 The dark tan metallic/ titanium color is the toughest. The parchment leather looks great, but I'm afraid to get it bc I wear dark denim and my girl is brown skinned which means brown makeup dust everywhere. I just got back from the dealership too, and I need to make a decision whether I'm going with black or parchment. Fully loaded, totally optioned out too, and it's way more fun to drive than a lot of crossovers. It was gonna be this or a BMW X1, and this actually blew it out of the water an caught me off guard!

[@gerrimiller3491]

I love my grand Touring. It's awesome🦋

[@Silent_Chillz]

Damn I want this car. I do have kids so the white leather worries me but I'm hoping they can learn to be a bit more careful. Thanks for the great detailed review

[@erikyoo2835]

this car would b perfect if it had ventilated seats:/ i hope they add it next year

[@elmontez1024]

Especially here in Texas! It's a good thing the A/C in this car works very quickly. :D

[@erikyoo2835]

+Forrest Jones especially here in Phoenix! the AC in my 2015 mazda3 takes a while to get cold tho thats why im relly hoping for ventilated seats in da coming years.

[@elmontez1024]

Yikes, not many people know heat like Arizona lol. Well hopefully we can check off your needs in the future Mazda products!

[@overundersidewaysdown7010]

Erik yoo move to flagstaff.

[@justinthomas2880]

Honestly, Mazda has great design language. It just needs a halo car on par with the Nissan GT-R. Not a Mazda Miata adaptation, as much fun as those are to drive. I died a little the day I saw the Mazda Furai burn to ashes on the track.

[@abc100785]

Hi, Can you clarify what you say at 3:56 seconds when you are talking about the CTA (cross traffic alert). You mentioned that it will it will beep if a car passes behind you and will go ahead and break for you? I researched this a bit and can't seem to find the part about the "breaking" and wondered if you made a mistake since i have the 2016 model and i get the alert but it doesn't break.

[@X82oo781]

Keep grinding

[@honeyofoats5619]

I love the white leather but is it easy to clean?

[@elmontez1024]

It is very easy to clean. The honest truth is that if you have children or are kind of messy you will find yourself cleaning it somewhat often. If you can manage it properly it is very pleasing the have in your car! It looks great in person too! :)

[@honeyofoats5619]

Forrest Jones thanks, don't have children😂😂 thank God lol

[@honeyofoats5619]

Forrest Jones do you know how I can clean it? If I get this car? do it have dynamax to drive better on ice when it is winter?

[@elmontez1024]

The best way to clean it is with non-greasy formula leather cleaner or you can simply damp a sponge with clean water and do it that way! As for the awd, our company test these cars in the Mazda ICE academy so driving on ice is actually one of the strong points of this AWD system! Check out some of the AWD videos in the links! :)

[@bsornat]

Incredible job

[@create77]

Is there a video or link explaining how or when to use the sport mode and manual shifter since I am new to it and have only driven automatic trans?

[@wafflefob]

A legend

[@marieherridge3700]

How long do these last? A lot of the used ones seem expensive for already past 100K

[@AUmarcus]

Do you get the turbo diesel in the US? We do in Australia.

[@2011mellophone]

how well do the white seats hold up/resist stains? such as those that would be from new pants or what not.

[@2011mellophone]

+Forrest Jones thank you so much!

[@steelheart4148]

White leather? In a few months it will be dirty leather. Great vehicle but no white leather for me.

[@ermthesikibidi]

He started two days ago, and seven years ago

[@ianmangham4570]

YEEEHAAA 4 THE LONE STAR 🌟 🇺🇸

[@DaftknightLP]

So you worked at a dealership thats how you built this

[@jdw1444]

I have had one for 3 months. It is an ok car, but not perfect. Lots of wind noise at interstate speed, lots of tire noise at all speeds. Sound system is average. Plenty of power, and brakes are amazing. Also is a very good looking car for sure. My navigation system has not worked since I bought it, but hopefully that can be corrected. Remains to be seen. I definitely would consider this car if I had it to do over again.

[@elmontez1024]

I definitely would trade out the tires. Only because I am not a huge Yokohama or Toyo fan and those are the only two brands of tires we use on the CX-5. Michelin, Dunlop, Goodyear, and Pirelli are great tires to keep the handling and performance feel of the Mazda while still reducing wind noise! As for the navigation what is it that is not working correctly?

[@jdw1444]

Won't pick up any satellite signals at all. Programs fine, but won't start navigating. I have an appt. this morning to take it in to be checked. Tire noise is terrible, but there is wind noise by side windows, caused by mirrors or gap in A-pillar, it seems. Thanks for the heads up on the tires!

[@jdw1444]

By the way, all of the above mentioned tires come in a lot of different series. Mine is 2016.5 Touring FWD with the 17" Yokohama tires. I do like the car well enough to upgrade the tires, but I have to get the best for this car that I can on the first try. Thanks again!!

[@gladdump2662]

The energy

[@TheEAGLESFREEDOM]

how much does it cost anyway the way it is.

[@rangerforrest469]

The only downside to this vehicle is it doesn’t have backseat air vents

[@michaelhatzigeorgiou470]

Mine never went over 24 MPG. The computer always shows around 24 no matter how I drive.

[@ianmangham4570]

Does it have a cranking handle ?

[@ianmangham4570]

Very nice

[@Arturo124]

GT with no LED on the front ?

[@elmontez1024]

YEs sir. This is actually a base GT model with all-wheel-drive. It is missing tech package and i-ACTIV sense package.

Why is there an optical drive in the infotainment system...is this car designed for the 50 and over demographic?

[@dionlfields7612]

I just bought this car...but I opted for cloth seats and put nice seat covers on for my every day ride. I love 💕 my 2016.5 Touring CX 5 this is my second Mazda I had a 6 before and I loved it ...This was a no brainer as a purchase. I didn’t even look at anything else in its class . It’s fun to drive and it can haul all my stuff for my catering business. It didn’t have the Navigation but thanks to Amazon I now do . You can beat the dealer buy going to Amazon and purchasing the Memory card for your CX 5 $100 bucks and it’s done ✅I like the safety features but the stereo sucks I will have to upgrade it after the warranty is out . Over all cool 😎 car 🚙

[@igot9121]

Dion Fields... What do you mean in regards to buying a memory card from Amazon for navigation? I am thinking of buying 2016 touring. Thanks

[@jm2ube197]

Does this car have tech and iactive pkg?

[@elmontez1024]

Just tech no IACTIV sense. Iactiv sense is easily spotted by looking at the front Mazda emblem. If it is glossed over it has tech. Also there will be an addition of radar cruise control on the steering wheel. :)

[@Alex-bj7ot]

You should just but the car for yourself
