[@permafrost7781]

Scotty, I am seeing very concerning complaints on nhtsa dot gov website about VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL issues with cars speeding on their own. Can you please do a video on this, this is very concerning, especially with cars after 2013.....

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

The only thing I do not like is there is no way to check or change the transmission fluid.

[@joshuacurran7405]

Actually unlike most current automatic transmissions there is a dipstick. A couple minutes to unscrew the air box free and you will find the dipstick on top of the transmission.

[@joshuacurran7405]

Plus there is a drain plug on the bottom of the transmission that I believe gets out about 5 quarts

[@AngryTango]

Scotty I am looking to buy a CX-5 in Germany, turbo Diesel w/manual transmission. What do you think about the German CX-5?

[@user-ss6zt2mo1l]

I just bought a CX-5 tonight !!

[@pdeforest]

I bought a used 2020 CX-5 in 2022 with 25k miles. Absolutely love the car. Put 30k miles on it. Just basic maintenance. No problems. Drove it all over the US, from tropics to mountains to desert. Was a champ. Enough room for people and lots of luggage. Highway mileage was 30+ with full car, cruising at 75. Safe, reliable, fun to drive, and good-looking. Very happy with my purchase.

[@jorge242]

Does it let you lock the doors if you're outside while it's running? My 2014 CX-5 annoys the hell out of me for several reasons.

[@bradmchaney]

I have a 2010 Mazda 3 2.5l with almost 200k. Japanese vehicles are amazing. Thanks for your input Scotty. We love you man. You deserve all the riches!

[@jetsandblades]

Research these CX-5's online and you'll find near universal praise. Everyone who owns them seems to love them. Most everyone is just amazed that Mazda doesn't sell more than they do. There's very little negative written about these cars. In today's polarized internet environment, where everyone likes to criticize anything and everything, that says ALOT about these vehicles.

[@gordonq007]

I'm currently owning a 2017 CX-5 awd, the space is on the smaller side of the compact SUV and doesn't get really good MPG compare to other vehicles in its class. That being said, the build quality and styling is really good. Lots of working room (for non-turbo) underneath the hood for parts replacement in the future as well.

[@randy74989]

The CX-50 is better.

[@mikeholt1248]

You make a good point about all the self-serving clowns who “know anything & everything”. These people will never research anything for themselves, and why should they since they already KNOW EVERYTHING??!!

[@jetsandblades]

@@randy74989 Since CX-50 is made in Alabama, time will tell how well it ages. Hopefully Mazda engineering and quality control shine through. It is a VERY nice vehicle. It almost seems to be more of an upscale outdoorsy Subaru / baby Rover competitor than a road going near premium SUV like CX-5. I have sat in them and they are really impressive inside. The outside I think might be a little to "rugged" looking for some. Hopefully a redsigned CX-5 comes. It is their bread and butter right vehicle right now. Or, maybe the soon to be revealed CX-70 takes the CX-5's place in the line up. Time and it's size will tell.

[@jamiecummings3850]

I just got a 2024 CX5 and the build quality is top notch. The interior is near luxury

[@bradallen1443]

We recently bought a non turbo CX-50 and so far we are very happy with it. Made a the joint Toyota factory in Alabama. No Start/Stop, non turbo, No CVT were big sales points.

[@Argedis]

The CX-5 has real independent suspension as well. The CX-30 has torsion beam. CX-5 also has better visibility with bigger windows and a lower belt-line. CX-5 all day

[@donr8773]

Great observation.

[@DoTheAstralPlane]

It's a big price difference on the used market though. All else equal at the same mileage, the CX-5 is better but the CX-30 is still fantastic and still reliable. Mazda's SUV lineup is a revelation in general though, they're giving Toyota, Subaru, and Honda a run for their money in the segment.

[@donr8773]

@@DoTheAstralPlane Yes, a run for their money indeed. After my brother settled on a CX-5, because he didn't want a turbo engine or a CVT transmission I was totally on board.

[@christos881]

I currently have a CX-5 turbo rental while my car is being repaired and this drives awesome, very sporty handling and quick, blows my 2018 CR-V away as far as driving dynamics.

[@ludwigtheholyblade79]

Is your car in the shop due to cracked cylinder head?

[@gineraso]

As a Toyota owner, I bought my first Mazda because of the gouging going on at Toyota Dealerships. I bought a 2023 Mazda CX5 (no turbo) Premium Plus package and I freaking love it. It takes a while to get used to the handling as it is much more rigid that my previous vehicle but I really enjoy the feel of the road now. I've got roughly 5K miles on it thus far and so far so good.

I have a Mazda CX-30 made in Mexico. 107K miles and have only replaced the battery, tires, oil, filters and transmission fluid. Zero issues. I don't know why people diss on Mexican car assemblies. The standards are all the same and instituted by Japanese Mazda. It's not like Mazda becomes a Mexican company when its cars are assembled there.

[@vendetta1768]

Same here, I have a 2020 CX-30 made in Mexico. 38k miles no issues with my cx30 just change oil, tires. idk why ppl hate mexican assemblies...

[@alexrivas4261]

Exactly, Mexico built cars are great. I don’t know why Scotty keeps saying Mexico’s built cars are no good 🤷🏻‍♂️.

[@ij6708]

The standards might be the same but the quality control is definitely not. So some vehicles come out great while others not so much

[@mr.george7687]

Scotty cracks me up every time he throws a beauty cover away!

[@donr8773]

First one I had seen thrown away, so funny. I have learned to like the covers however. My 2023 VW Golf GTI has no cover. I think it was because they caught fire!

[@ashkhan9993]

[@user-ts7ns7bt2v]

Currently have 520 miles on my 2024 CX5 S preferred. I’ll drive it over. Love it so far Wanted Rav 4 as CX5 was number 2 choice but 0% 60 months… I went Mazda

[@Koushi82]

U are me 2 yrs ago when I totaled my car. Dealers wanted markup I said no and walked

[@dmytrotkachenko5473]

Same thing, Mazda was number 2 choice, but I got 0% and faster waiting period 1 month instead of 6 on rav4. So, we bought Mazda, and we love it

[@lauradooley1033]

bought my CX5 Turbo in 2020 during virus lock down....35K miles and not one problem..fun to drive and got a real good price in April of 2020

[@mitchs.920]

I rented one of these when visiting home a few years ago, it was the FWD one and I absolutely loved it.

[@oldmtbdudes6963]

I got my wife a 2020 CX-5. We had a 2015 CX-9 with the ford duratec engine that suffered the dreaded water pump failure. I was skeptical about buying another Mazda but felt better about it when I learned it was free from containing any Ford parts. My wife loves her normally aspirated 2020 CX-5.

[@jbrown4137]

Ford is no longer involved with Mazda thankfully, they have been on the upswing since then.

[@michaelwilliamson9605]

My wife has the 2018 "5", almost 100k miles. She loves it. I inherited her 2007 "9" with 220k miles, still a great car!

[@phrankguy1]

Makes me feel better about purchasing a 24 Cx-5 recently.

[@MtryCapt]

I have the 2021 CX-5 naturally aspirated engine. It’s sporty enough for me and very fun to drive. Definitely a great vehicle.

[@ckmondaviable]

My mazda 6 gets about 26 to 27 with the same engine. Scotty is right about the all wheel drive and SUV body type. Also I'm glad i got my car during the start of the pandemic. I got mine used with 9000 miles for 9K less that the MSRP.

[@tonydragon784]

[@erickisel8668]

@Scotty Kilmer: I want to get a 2024 CX-5 Premium Plus. I hear the NA engines are no longer getting cylinder deactivation and I-stop. That is a great thing!

[@robertdevoy3119]

I get 34 mpg highway with my 2019 CX-5 turbo at 60 mph. I rarely have need for the extra turbo power, but it is nice to have V8 power when I want it for merging and passing. I also consistently get 18 or more mpg in the city.

[@MountainStateNomad]

I had a 2008 bmw 3 series for a while, and a friend had a similar year Mazda CX5. I was very impressed with Mazdas interior materials, fit, and finish. It was also a nice looking and driving SUV.

[@blipsmann1985]

2021 CX-30. You can talk crap about Mexico if ya wanna but you should research the facilities they built down there and the quality assurance methods they have in place with Japanese supervision and inspection. The CX-30 I just got non turbo 2.5 plenty of power 35 mpg+ on highway 26 city. I love it. So far a great purchase. Love the smooth 6 speed tranny. And a very nice interior that blows competitors away. Great job Mazda !!!

I own a CX9 2018 & a CX5 2023 I absolutely love them. Had no issues

[@MrsMac3099]

Last year we bought a used 2021 Mazda CX-5 Grand touring AWD. She is so beautiful, kinda lux, handles well in the snow. She is nice to drive, a little firm, like people say but not bad at all. My husband who has had pickups for over 30 years likes to drive the Mazda too. I had Jeeps for over 20 year's. This isn't like that, the Mazda is definitely more like a crossover. I joked it's a little like a SUV, car, and lux all rolled in together. My hubby loves it so much he was looking at the CX-50, CX 90, and wants to know about the CX-70 when it comes out. I doubt he will trade his truck in, but that is how much he likes them.

[@Chinunit22]

My wife's 2019 CX5 awd non-turbo gets good mpg, only issue it had beside normal wear and tear it only had oil pan seal leak that was repaired under a warranty for free. It's an amazing fun, easy to drive vehicle!!!

[@kclefthanded427]

First Gen Mazda CX-5 was also available with a 6-speed manual gearbox but only on the 2.0 liter. Hard to find but should've offered with the 2.5 too. Mazda is on a roll right now

[@kopfschuss881]

I had a 13 2.0 manual. Was great. Just needed a bigger car with more kids. Should have kept it on the side.

[@kurtkremer4381]

I love my 2013 cx-5 manual. Fun to shift and average 32mpg.

[@bradmchaney]

The Mazda3 2.5l non-turbo is the most reliable as far as older Mazda3s go.

[@ccchhhrrriiisss100]

I bought a brand new Mazda this year. It is one of the best purchases that I have ever made! I feel the quality every time I drive it. It's fast, powerful and fun to drive. Plus, it feels like a premium, entry-level luxury vehicle.

[@dougharding5231]

Scotty, did you realize that with these new push button start cars you do not have to hold the button until it starts? I was doing the same thing with mine, but the switch isn't connected to the starter like the old days. I step on the brake, give the button a quick stab -- that's all that's required -- and while it's cranking I grab my seat belt. 😊

[@six-pack1332]

My wife had a CX30 for a couple of years and it was trouble free. She liked it but wanted more room. Got a CX5 turbo. Wow, great car. Her CX30 was a little weak at high elevation and loaded down with people and luggage etc. The CX5 had no such issues. It's fun to drive. I'd highly recommend this vehicle.

[@joshuatnava651]

[@dylanpsimer4583]

I have a 2023 CX-30, it’s my favorite car I’ve ever driven. I work with Mexican Car manufacturers and do agree they seem pretty lax and quantity over quality. Doesn’t seem like they have dropped the ball yet on my particular vehicle though.

[@universetechnique]

Well said about the vehicle can’t complain. Sister rental that same vehicle. All I remember is that turbo lag blow back feel before the turbo kicks in. Gotta wait for turbo lag. Now there are turbo no lag bypass kit already out there.

[@nomoreblahblah]

Thanks for reviewing the vehicle. I'm always keeping an ear open for good information pertaining to my possible next buy

[@luis.capsalot8124]

Oh yes, this is my baby !!! Got my own 2020 CX-5 Grand Touring non turbo with 28,000 miles and zero problems, and I freaking love it. Scotty, you should definitely think about getting yourself one. Your wife would love it, and you and her won't have to crouch down to get in it. ❤💪🏽🔥💯

[@onyxbackstrom3379]

Knowing him and his comments, sure it would be a great car but one downside is that Mazda does have a more stiffer suspension, hence why they handle so well. I have a 2013 3 that has low profile tires and I feel everything. It's a harsher ride probably without the low profile tires, so I don't see him getting it for her but still a quality vehicle nonetheless.

[@andrewvenor8035]

Hi Scotty, just thought I'd let you know, my daughter's Mexican built 2014 Mazda 3 2.0 litre has 200 000 on the clock and still rides like new. Zero problems so far. I personally also insist on the Japanese model (I have a 2021 3GT), but I'm glad hers is living up to the Mazda reputation.

I have been researching what car to buy and the CX-5 was my top pick, probably a used one 2020-2023 with low miles. The price is reasonable and it looks nicer than the Rav4 or CRV... I really want something reliable and practical but the zoom would be appreciated too haha. My Kia Spectra is closing in on 200k miles and its starting to have some problems. I don't want to deal with too many repairs so I think its about time for a new car... Maybe keep the Kia as a back up car since its been so reliable this far.

[@photog1529]

I'm in the market to replace my 2014 Mazda 6 and was considering the CX-50 but now turned off by two things. First, the base engine is made in Mexico, and if that wasn't bad enough the base has cylinder deactivation (turns off 2 of 4 cylinders at certain conditions). I want no part of that. Second, the turbo engine is made in Japan but that one has what Mazda refers to as i-Stop...engine shuts down when the vehicle is stopped and then restarts once you start moving. I'm sometimes in stop-and-go traffic and don't need any part of that. It can be disabled, but every time to you start the car if defaults to "on". As much as I'd like CX-50, these features are a no-go for me.

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

[@briand5379]

The problem with cars being made in Mexico has nothing to do with the people that live there doing the work and more about the greedy companies cutting corners. Boeing makes a lot of their stuff in the US, and they've had issues all over the place that last 5 years.

I have 2023 cx5 sports diesel and run very smooth 1000km in 1full tank is not a problem.

Original battery in 2022 still at 70% is great it’s 2 years old! I have a battery 3 years old already needs replacement dam interstate! My Everstart battery died at 1 1/2 years in my last car. When the Honda tiny battery it came with lasted 10 years

Hey I’ve really been looking at Mazda 3’s made in Japan. Would you buy this over a Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla due to Mazda have a real transmission compared to the cvt of Honda and Toyota. Great channel Scotty

[@thefishwhisperer1416]

you should consider buying a civic or corolla with a manual transmission, they are functionally more simple than automatics and CVTs and as such tend to last longer and are cheaper to repair when they do break

[@jgjg3848]

Scotty hates CVT and is an inline guy all the way. Get an engine 2.0L or higher. Anything in the 1L is underpowered and will wear out quicker.

My cousin has had a 2015 Mazda CX5, for over nine years and other than routine maintenance and tires and a battery change he has never had to bring the car to be “Fixed”. Despite the fact he had Lexus cars in the past, he says he would never go back. He is thinking about getting a 2024 Mazda CX90, but he is feeling that this car drives well and has never given him any issues, why should he change now. I’ll send him the link to this video.

@Scotty, would you by out a leased 2020 cx5 grand touring or get a new one. My lease is up. Would you walk away and get something else? Really need more rear leg/height room? Was thinking of a hybrid?

[@joebruhin2098]

My Mazda 6 signature has the same engine and I get 33 mpg...I just purchased a CX5 turbo and on the way home 25 mpg.

[@RaymondHowardNy]

If you want power get a V6, if you want economy get 4 cylinder.. the average driver will be satisfied with the right 4 cylinder, not looking for speed. Not carrying heavy weight (single drivers). Families, fast drivers should look more toward the bigger engines. Moves weight way easier

I used to have a Mazda 3, 2013 model year. I really enjoyed driving it when i was single and dating. Mazda makes reliable cars. If i was to ever get away from Toyota, i would go to mazda.

Im really thinking of buying a new Mazda CX5. Is the infotainment screen upgradable to a larger screen without going up to the next trim level ? Can it be removed and replaced easily ?

[@floridaoutdooradventures8981]

I am A BIG MAZDA fan but I was disappointed with the trunk space of CX5. My Mazda 6's trunk is twice as big as CX-5's!

My cx-5 was the best suv I've ever owned. It was 2016 I bought for 20k when it had 20k miles on it. Drove it to 155,000 miles when a guy towing a stump grinder pulled out in front of me and I totaled it. I was able to walk away with only minor airbag scratches I got over 100,000 miles out of a set of tires on that car too, Cooper tires. Mostly highway miles. I should have bought another one but saw a bmw and now it's been in the shop at least 7 times in 70,000 miles. It's like bmw designs their cars to have something fail every 10,000 miles. Such crappy cars. But, we live and learn. Get a Mazda ya'll. They're really incredible cars.

Cx5s come standard with AWD, no matter the trim I believe.

@@The1stRealVR No need to be so rude. As of 2022 AWD is standard across the CX line.

@jgjg3848 I guess I should've been more specific for RealVr. The newer Cx5 are standard AWD like what you said. Sadly, I don't keep track of what came standard on cars 17 years ago, sadly for RealVR. Lol

The best solution for a new car is the non-turbo engine. It will cost less.
