Ditto, but we really need a way to factor in the fact that certain brands never ever sell for close to MSRP. Some brands prefer the "omg check out 25% off" which is everyday pricing. Buy a Subaru, and expect to pay over invoice. I've never seen a Subaru with the $10K+ off advertisements that you see for GM vehicles for example.

I own a '19 Signature trim CX-5. There is just no way to get 18 mpg in typical driving. For the first 500 miles I've averaged 24.5 mpg in a mix of city and highway driving. IMHO, you'd have to be doing a 0-60 test from every stop light to average 18 mpg. Unless there was something terribly wrong with the tested vehicle in this video, to present a 9 mpg differential between the Forester and CX-5 is misleading to potential buyers.

The interesting thing here is that although Mazda is a mainstream brand, and therefore the dash stitching would be assume to be faux stitching.... it actually is real stitching. A little known fact is that the dash assemblies, for decades have been put together by a women only team. They recently decided to up their materials on the dash, which meant adding real stitched leather components. Even the metal additions to the dash and doors is now real machined metal instead of coloured plastic. Very nice touch Mazda! They have highlighted this in their new video: "Tailored to you". Although I was hearing about this last year on my trip to their main factory in Hiroshima, Japan.

First and per most car enthusiast usual, Subaru’s customer wouldn’t cross shop anything here except for the Mazda 5 and that’s a big if. People who follow the Subaru brand looks for practicality, functionality, dependability, longevity and resale value. How many of those could the other 2 check off???. I’LL Wait. If you want to do a comparison, compare cars with their competitors. Not something that they’ll never see. The only time these cars would meet is at Whole Foods. *Cadillac would’ve just came for whole wheat bread and fresh cut turkey breast *Mazda would’ve came for Lactose Free milk, farm raised eggs, and tonight’s dinner *And Subaru would have enough room for a months worth of groceries, plus space for a new flat screen tv and movies to watch after tonight’s great meal. And for those of you buying for looks, please study : Reliability Cost to own Crash test ratings Consumers Report ratings Brand report Cards And Resale value In a year that $55,000 caddy will be the same price as a base 2020 Subaru Impreza. And the Mazda might get you $18,000 if you’re lucky... Research people.....

DangerousDan when Subaru refresh forester, I hope they put 2.4L turbo in forester, the same one in new outback and ascent, that means if more and more people buying the XT outback, I am sure Subaru will bring back the XT Forester once again.

I'd take the Subaru just because I've always loved the Forester. But that Mazda is so nice. I'd take either over the Cadillac. $55k for subpar reliability and terrible resale? No thanks.

I really like the Mazda but the rear seats won't fold down flat without scooting the front seat forward or taking out the headrests. There is also a learning curve on the Mazda infotainment. The cargo capacity is limited.

Anyone who has been paying attention knows that XT4 is more closely related to the Buick Regal or Lacrosse or Chevy Malibu as it sits on all new variation of the Epsilon II platform. And that platform is widely acclaimed for its premium feel. Contrastingly, the Equinox is on the Delta platform which it is a variation with the Chevy Cruze Opel Astra. In fact, when introduced both GM and Cadillac said that it is on its own unnamed platform. The idea that this is related to the Equinox is an anti-Cadillac disinformation campaign. It’s origins are not a state secret for crying out loud.

I like the Subaru Forester out of them all, style, practicality, Symetrical AWD unbeaten for New England weather and off road ability, comfort, convenience, safety, and amenities, for my money #1 hands down the very best as good as it gets, and I also think its the best looking, also best gas mileage, and range, this vehicle is not just for families.

I purchased a 2018 Subaru Forester Touring XT with the 2.0 turbo. It beats these three in every category that I value. It is faster, better volume, better greenhouse, more comfortable, and cost me much less than the Mazda or Cadillac. The other features you cover are not worth the money unless people think the moniker is worth thousands of dollars for some imagined bragging rights.

Great review Sofyan!! As always. Love the CX-5 definitely, for single guys, like us lol, it's the better choice, although, if I had the money...... I'll buy a Volvo XC-40 R Design 🤪 with all the "toys"

I don’t think the Caddy is worth 50k, may take it in low 30s. Otherwise I take the Subaru of the three.

DISCLAIMER: I own a 2019 MAZDA CX-5 Grand TouringReserve (2.5 L. turbo, AWD) and given its 5 star crash test rating, great steering feel and very good handling plus its MANY safety and convenience features I'll STILL take it over the Caddy. And then there is the US $15,000. lower price than the Cadillac. BTW I removed my "low rent" prop rod and installed dual gas hood struts. MUCH nicer. NOTE: If you run 100 octane gas in a turbo CX-5 you will feel POWER! Glad the ECU is programmed to handle 100 octane gas.

I must’ve missed the point in time where things shifted to where sportiness in SUVs was something people were really looking for. Maybe I’m just old school in associating luxury with smooth rides and SUVs with body-on-frame. 🤷🏾♂️

The CX5 all the way! Love what Mazda is doing with their products. That Subaru, while being functional, looks, feels and has the appeal of an upmarket hearse van. Why does it sell in buckets astonishes me!

Better AWD system dawg. In the snow/ice, you're more likely to end up in a hearse driving the Mazda than the Subaru.

Excellent review and great to see the comparison. Also, I would really really like for you to do the same with the Cadillac XT5 currently .... or better yet with the upgraded XT5 when it is available at end of this year. Thanks.
@brybrysofly40935 жыл бұрын
First off, snaps for the triple door closing lol. I don’t think the Caddy stood a chance. For $55k, that is just not worth it. Like you said; if it was ten grand less and had a bit more space in the rear and the truck, it would be an good choice (minus the gauges). I would’ve chosen the Subie for practicality (in another color and with the more powerful engine). The Mazda though, it stirs and emotion and jars a reaction. It would be my choice as well just because the Subie isn’t as powerful in this test and because of that horrid color lol

Except the Premium lux XT4 does not sticker for $55k, the Sport Trim is an "eye watering" $56k if you get everything. The trim doesn't determine the price, it determines the features. A feature less Sport XT4 MSRP is $44k or a completely built Prem Lux at $51. This is a weird comparison, is there a yacht vs fishing boat somewhere on this channel? Do you have the luxury to purchase a new vehicle or can you just barely afford a new one?

Between the 2 , I'm going Subaru. Better for use in the north. Stomps the shit out of the Mazda off road. He's acting like a soccer mom. Since when does being S.U.V. not count in an SUV? No mention of 4 wheel, down hill decent control, or the 3 tire control settings. Very Disappointing comparisons. He clearly favors the Mazda, though as an S.U.V., the Forester is FAR superior.

I have a 18 CX9 but damn when did CX5 cost up to 39k? My CX9 only cost me 38k out the door, and much larger and spacious...lol. Well given it only the 2nd trim from base but it got almost everything this 39k CX5 got except for HUD, ventilated seat and steering wheel heater, and AWD. Even does better in mpg than this CX5, and hold up to 7 passengers, better rear seat vent control, have rear seat sunshade built in on 2nd row. Now this really got my head scratching, now to have everything this CX5 has in CX9, it only cost 5k more in GT trim, almost seems like CX9 is a better value compare to CX5.
