2021 Subaru Forester vs 2021 Mazda CX 5 vs 2021 Toyota RAV4 | Best SUV 2021?

[@lindahardy1017]

I just bought a RAV4 XLE Premium and it is awesome! Stylish and very well made. This will be my last SUV as I am 74 and it will last me the rest of my days. Will go out in style!!!🙂👍

[@teemcshanney8910]

If you like quality with unexciting driving and a little too much plastic, detracting from the luxury, RAV4 is your baby. If you love to drive and make it fun, plus a lot more luxury feel at the same price point, pick a Mazda CX-5 with the base 2.5 l 4 cylinder engine.. You will not be disappointed!

[@BosszillaTV]

You will live to 120 years old and need a new car. Keep on driving ❤️

[@Doc1855]

I had a Rav 4WD Limited and I did love it. I looked at a new one to replace it with. I also looked at the Forester Touring (Premiere in Canada). I’m in my late 50s and only drive about 6K miles a year. So I knew that whatever I chose, it’ll probably be the last vehicle I’ll ever need to buy. I hope you’re enjoying your Rav as much as I’m enjoying my Forester.

[@AccordionJoe1]

I don't get the hype that Mazdas do not get good gas mileage. My previous car, a Honda CR-V, got 23 mpg on the twisty mountain roads around my home. My 2016 Mazda CX-5, gets 30 mpg. And it still looks classier and handles better than any Honda or Toyota crossover.

[@buythematicket]

Got a CX-5. Got the Grand Touring Reserve with the turbo - definitely recommend if you want more power. Love it.

[@JosephDowski]

Looking at the same model/trim in Machine Metal Gray. What color did you get?

[@dealarea3059]

I have seen so many reviews on KZbin and websites ...and the CX-5 is definitely the winner for all experts ... I got my eyes in that same trim or the GT with premium package.

[@johnstrand2247]

My wife did the same and traded her ForesterXT when Subaru expected her to drop down in power and pay too much for an under powered vehicle. Now she has 250HP with her CX-5 and 5 more MPG. Nice ride!

Good job on the review. This year I'm driving a CX-5 2.5L turbo. My previous car was a 6.2L V8 and I'm surprised how well the Mazda turbo does in terns of performance. Very easy car to live with (getting in and out, day to day driving, etc).

I bought a base 2021 CX5 Sport AWD, traded in my 2017 Outback, which was a good vehicle..Im very pleased, tons of great options standard, seamless driving, ....automatic transmission vs cvt,, no stop/ start nonsense drove me to the mazda vs another subaru.....So far, extremely pleased with Mazda CX5

[@russclaeyborn3587]

I bought the new 2021 CX-5 also, for the same reasons... no iStop (Engine Stop/Start Technology), no CVT, and no Cylinder Deactivation when you get the turbo.

Agreed. I’m on my 5th Mazda and it’s 2 weeks old. A CX-5

[@stephenmaurer156]

I absolutely love my Subaru Forester 2020 Touring trim. It performed in the snow so well. 10” of Dry or wet snow with OEM tires and AWD it just plowed through the snow. I think the engine noise on acceleration scares folks but it accelerates just fine. Love the style, heated seats, heated steering wheel, automatic vehicle hold for hills, reflection on the infotainment center is a non issue. I would give the Forester a chance.

Wife’s car was rear ended by a dodge 1 ton and shoved into a Chevy 1 ton. Fortunately she was not hurt to bad. Need I not say her car was written off by insurance. We looked and test drove the Mitsubishi rvr, Nissan rouge, Toyota rav 4, Subaru Forester and the Mazda cx 5. She got a fully loaded 2022 Mazda cx 5 gt sport. White leather trim. It is in its own league compared to everything else we looked at. The other cross overs were nice but the Mazda is stunning.

Haha! 😂👍🏼 Super funny/entertaining, but still really good points were made. Once again, well done, man! This is definitely a tough comparison to name a clear winner. Each of these compact utility vehicles excel in their own ways. Thus, buyers should consider what matters most to them. Luckily, you made that more doable with your conparison review.

Thank you for this - Love the video! Any chance you’ll be able to compare the cx5 and the Tiguan?

[@Allcarseveryday]

That is actually in the cards, I was considering it before I published this one actually! I’ll get in contact with a local Volkswagen dealer.

A good review video generally runs about 15-25 min. A lot of details here. Don’t really need to see up close pictures of the car app. Appreciate the effort though. Nice video quality. I’m sure you’ll refine things as you go along. I test drove the Forester Sport and CX-5 among others. Loved the CX-5 almost a sports car feel with handling etc. However the infotainment system is not easy to use at all and the visibility in blind spots is not good. I’m 54 so younger might not be an issue. Forester Sport is a great car. Pleasure to drive. RAV4 looks cooler but noisy and stiff. I chose the Sport. Large sunroof makes light and airy.

I'm 64, and if I can get used to the Infotainment System, anyone can. After driving a car with hardly any technology in it, for 22 years, I bought my 2021 CX-5, and it seemed overwhelming at first, but we're warming up to each other. I especially like it, where it will play my favorite songs from my USB flash drive through the USB port. The blind spots aren't good, but I believe the blind spots are bad in all the SUVs that sit off the ground, and has high back rear seats. I'm glad there's a rear view camera on the monitor when backing up, and the side mirrors work well.

Excellent review!

Glad you liked it!

[@flyingcows547]

So who won? I just came here to cheer on the cx5 since I have one, but I’m not watching a 40 minute video to find out lol

[@fahada783]

Cx5 wins.

[@OutofSyncLV]

The Mazda Bose system is default off in the audio settings so if you didn’t turn it on then it was off.

[@russclaeyborn3587]

I've gotta check that out on my new CX-5. Thanks, for the tip!

[@teemcshanney8910]

Furthermore, unnecessary all-wheel drive significantly adds to maintenance costs. For example, if you don't replace tires with exactly the same model and brand and tread depth as the originals, you're in for an extremely costly repair down the road to your AWD system. My Mazda CX-5 Touring AWD required SHAVING DOWN the replacement for a tire that broke to bring the tread depth to that of the others. Tread depth was significantly below that of new tires. And don't fall for the myth that you can put two other brands, models and tread depths on one axle. Those tires need to be rotated, sometimes in complex patterns that will kill your AWD if the tires don't match!

[@brasshound4442]

Mazda has a nice maintenance program that covers you for oil changes and tire rotations every 5000 miles along with an inspection for other potential issues. It's well work the $10 a month.

Thank you for highlighting almost all the significances. Your video helped me to make a decision. I am from Chicago and I think Subaru would be more compatible under deep snow. I am a little concern about the parts of Subaru, We all know Toyota is easy to exchange hands OR any mechanic can easily diagnose it when it comes to restoration from body to engine. I am not sure how things going to be with Subaru. Would that be more expensive and painful to get it repaired?

[@Allcarseveryday]

I think Subaru is a brand that is mainstream enough that you will not have problems with the parts/reparability of the vehicle. The powertrain is unique compared to other vehicles, but Subaru uses a variation of the same Boxer engine in lots of its vehicles--I'm sure reputable mechanics are familiar with it. I would theorize that repair costs are pretty similar, but that being said I am not 100% sure.

[@harisbaig8701]

[@barackblows1942]

Plus Subaru gives you blown head gaskets at no extra charge and changing the plugs is a nightmare.💩

[@barackblows1942]

@CountryStranger Look at the NHTSA website for the Subaru model that you’re considering. For 2021 there are numerous complaints already about windshields cracking. It’s too soon for a head gasket problem; give it a few years. If you want reliably, then buy a Toyota. 👍

[@michaelscofield2444]

Trust me. In Chicago you wanna have Subaru Outback, Impreza , Forester. AWD will help you a lot. I know cause I am there. And yes, buy the XT if you are looking for a good reliable car with no CVT transmission. Last year they made it was 2014. So still a good year to buy for less money. Just look for any clean title with no accidents. You are welcome

Only thing missing is adding the CR-V to the mix. Overall, for my money i'd take the Forester and upgrade to the Touring trim.

[@Allcarseveryday]

For the sake of length, I saved the CR-V and new Rogue for a different video! Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGXKpImOp6yjg5I
