I own a 2022 CX-5 2.5 TURBO SIGNATURE I noticed that didn't mention the Mazda has a heads up display and headlights with Adaptive Front-lighting System. The only I would like is wireless Android Auto and remove the shinny plastic a pillars. A quite car with beautiful touch surfaces and Bose system is hard to beat. I looked at the Lexus but wasn't willing to pay extra 12-15K for the L logo. I have owned Acura's , Infiniti's, Honda's but Mazda is creating a very high quality product that is punching above it's price class. I am a subscriber .

I really like the Mazda. In fact, I have consistently been recommending people to consider it as a potential option. However, I have recently received interesting information from over the pond (Britain), and from a reliable source, that Mazda is receiving a much higher than expected number of warranty claims (though entirely covered) based on premature turbo issues (£1,500 - £2,500). I have NOT heard any of any (consistent/reliable) issues over here (Canada/United States). Despite this… I would still short list as worth considering.

Mazda's controller over touch screen is much safer way to go as many studies have shown and it one of key reasons CX5 feels and drives like higher spec car here. Reliability and assembly and parts quality are superior in Mazda as well. Extra space I may take advantage of one a year or not but driving and handling I will do every day... I had this Sportage in Europe for a month with DSG and 1.5t and it was much cheaper quality than Mazda and handling was shaky during sportier drive attempts ... Plastics and fit and finish along with lesser resolution LCD screens that did not have black but grey backgrounds looked like early 2000s cheap LCD screens .... There is no comparison what is a better vehicle here , sorry but little more air and space is not a reason for Kia to be better .... Now keep this KIA for 5 or 10 yrs and you will see how it holds up... again Mazda will last longer and stay together better

Also, that fake leather in teh KIA with no option to upgrade concerns me because it looks and feels exactly like that cheap office chair vinyl which always stress cracks and flakes in time. That would leave a nasty looking seat. Stereo was better in the Mazda. The upgraded Harmon stereo in the KIA they did not have on lot for me to try.

KIA is crap, i work for Progressive and we get calls from KIA / Hyundai owners asking if total engine failure and the occasional vehicle catches on fire for no reason is covered under insurance. I always told them thats whats the 10 year warranty is for

Mazda CX-5 all the way for me. I purchased the top model Signature Turbo in 2023. Space is not an issue in my case nor is a touch screen. What is important is reliability, quality, and fun to drive with lots of power. Yes, there has not been many changes over the years, but why change something that is this close to perfection.

I was interested in your site when l discovered it was Canadian until l noticed you hardly have any reviews on GM, Ford or Chrysler vehicles. Goodbye and good look with your site.
@A3A4Tom2 жыл бұрын
As nicely done as Sportage, CX-5 remains unbeatable in this class except for the smallish rear seat and luggage space. Its dynamically superior and perform better, especially with the awesome 2.5T engine. That engine is surely outclassed anything in its segment.

i enjoy your reviews but am really confused as to why you always include American prices and model line ups. Yours is a Canadian channel and your viewers would be purchasing in Canada with Canadian dollars.
@andreaspencer98132 жыл бұрын
We have lots of American viewers and we like to include US specs and pricing, they are very important to us as well. Our channel is about helping people buy vehicles and we want to reach as many as we can to make the car buying process easier. We don't see ourselves as just a Canadian channel as it's the world wide web.

I like the exterior of the Mazda but interior & tech of the Kia. Harman Kardon sounds much better in Kia. Other than that, Mazda is probably better, just too boring for me.

One of the biggest considerations for me when I look at cars in any class is the mileage. These two SUVs are roughly the same as the Subaru Forester in class yet the Forester outdoes both in mileage. Over the years of ownership that difference makes a difference to the hit on the pocketbook. Nice cars…but I’ll stick with our ‘22 Forester.

The Kia will not age well. Looks bizarre today, and will look worse in a few years. Mazdas, like Audis, are classy and will look handsome for decades.
