What year of maxda 3 did they improve quality in the vehicles especially the transmission.

[@robotcombat]

The camera footage actually looks great, but it is having trouble keeping autofocus on the correct subject (you). You should be able to customize autofocus options, or disable completely. Not sure which camera you tried, but I could tell the quality was actually better than usual, so don't give up on it yet! Just see if you can perfect that autofocus first.

I was dead set on buying a RAV4 a few months ago and then came across the Mazda CX-5. I test drove it and was immediately impressed. I got the Carbon Edition which basically has the same upgrades as the RAV4 Limited but costs $10,000.00 less. And it’s much quieter and handles far better than the RAV4. I really enjoy driving it.

[@nthgth]

Good for you, man. I never knew about the huge price differences until this video, but always knew (thanks to Car and Driver) Mazdas are always extra fun to drive than they need to be (like Hondas) and fantastically styled (UNlike Hondas). Throw in decent-to-good reliability and that way lower price and you have a _solid_ contender.

Yes, I really love mine too

[@bradnail99]

I drove a friend’s new RAV4, expecting to like it. I did not like it. It was noisy, crowded in the driver’s seat, ugly inside and out, and had flaccid handling. I ended up buying a CX-5 and I love it.

[@JohnWilliamson-qd4px]

In early 2023 my son in law was looking to replace his 2009 oil burning Scion xB with a RAV4. All he could find in KC was a few used ones at new car prices. I suggested he look at Mazda which I don't think was even on his radar. He tried the CX-50 and CX-5, loved 'em both and bought the NA CX-50 because he needed the extra space as he's a new dad. Mazdas are the real quality dark horse of the compact and crossover world.

I have a 2016 Mazda cx-3. I'm in it right now. It has 199,746 miles with no major issues. I didn't like the cost, I paid 25k roughly. But it has had amazing reliability. Mine has a real parking break, not electric.

[@bwelmhouse1]

@@yournightmare9999 Changing the oil on time won't prevent the long term reliability issues that turbo engines have. Turbos create a lot more stress and heat on the engine components and that inherently lowers the life span of a turbo engine compared to an engine without a turbo. There's no way around that problem. Changing the oil on time helps any engine last longer, but a turbo engine will eventually succumb to the pressures and repeated heat stresses placed upon it before a regular engine will.

Show us how to check the fluid Scotty! These have dipsticks that are usable but you can't see them unless you move something and look down in. So many vehicles don't come with them any more and it is like a giant middle finger to anyone who wants to check the fluid or even change it or keep the vehicle longer than 60,000 miles. They made that part easy but sadly the filter is just the same as others and you have to mess with the pan to get it off. They use silicone sealant too and not all manufacturers do that. The positive thing about silicone is it is less likely to leak. The negative thing is it has to be cleaned off to allow a good seal when a new seal is made.

Always thought a V-6 manual first gen Mazda6 was pretty much the second coming of the original Taurus SHO. Anyway, I'd still love a late-model manual Mazda3 (as late as they come with manuals).

@NVRAMboi People are financing $1800 Apple Phones every 4-5 years. A phone. There are Android alternatives that have the same specs for $700-800. It's not smart. But If they have convinced people it is worth it. That's the consumer's fault for being easily manipulated. Apple doesn't have a Monopoly on phones. So no one's holding a weapon to the consumers head forcing them to buy their overpriced stuff. I'd apply this too Toyota as well. Price it high as long as people are dumb enough to pay it. Then when it slows down lower the price.

Bought my accord in 2005 still driving it

Car is beautiful real value for your money ❤

Bought a ‘23 Preferred w/4000 miles for 25k. It’s my commuter and I love everything about it. It does have a bad blind spot but you learn to live with it. Excellent value for the money.

[@nthgth]

Similar naming convention and engine displacement, but _very_ different car and intended buyer lol

[@mikewoo4663]

I was thinking about buying a cx-5 the 2018 model I like that it has a auto transmission not a cv and a 4 cylinder for fuel economy

[@jp2578]

Great review.

[@0159ralph]

I don't agree with Scotty when He bashes Ram & Dodge, but I do agree with him about cars and trucks not having any turbos. My 300, Challenger and Ram has the 3.6 and the Ram has the Hemi all naturally aspired. The new Rams with the Hurricane 3.0 and the new Tundra with the V6 are headaches. I keeping my vehiles until the wheels fall off. Especially with today's vehicle prices.

[@SRH58]

Now Scotty, you said 2 years ago when I was looking at Honda CRV style SUV'S that the Turbo in the 2022 CRV was OK with the turbo as long as you CHANGE THE OIL Regularly..!! I wasn't keen on the idea either but didn't like the Rav4 as much.. we'll see eh Scotty.?? Love ya..

[@janicecopeland9083]

Nice ride.

[@HyperHorse]

Toyota didn't "buy" Mazda, they just bought 5% of their stock.

[@Ahmikariane]

😂😂😂... Hey Man I love it when you take out and throw away the plastic engine cover...jjjjj. Solo funny. Very good looking and highly reliable Mazda CX 30. Is a very good car. Well built,, Is a good choice for common sense people that don't need a Buss or a truck 😅

[@handheldnintendofan]

The stupid beauty cover 😂

[@audiodemos2579]

I tested this CX30. Didn't liked it's cramped interior. It is good looking but Subaru's Crosstrek is much more roomy inside. They are both slow so just go with the one with better comfort. This Mazda 3 generation doesn't have multilink suspension either.

[@jamesrichardson1326]

Good one Scotty

[@OnlyMeee-ie3dw]

Damn, I was looking at one of those but I'm not willing to take chance with another Toyota yet. My 2020 Camry was the worst new car I've ever had. Toyota wouldn't, or couldn't, fix. Saying the problems are normal isn't fixing anything.

Any Mazda is NOT a Toyota.

Give the CX-50 a test drive. I`m interested in one.

[@flyinphil42]

I wish they would bring back the Mazda B2200 pick up truck with 4 door and 4WD option.

[@joec1546]

I've had two Mazdas from back in the partial Ford ownership days. Still have the younger one that is a 2010 made at the Flat Rock plant and still going strong. Both made it over 500k with little more than routine maintenance. Lost the older one at 735k to a wayward whitetail that busted the headlight and bent the fender above it, and insurance totaled it.

[@josephleonaitis2422]

THE HONDA 4-CYLINDER ENGINE APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO MY 4-CYLINDER ENGINE ON A 2012 FORD FUSION SE. NO TURBO. BOTH ARE MANUFACTURED BY MAZDA ENGINE DIVISION. I GET 30+ MPG. I HAVE OVER 200,000+ MILES ON IT AND STILL DRIVING. MAZDA 2.5L ENGINES ARE BULLET PROOF. FINIS PAX

Mine is identical. Scotty failed to mention it was assembled in Mexico.

Me and the auto industry are absolutely Shocked!

Mazda B-Series Trucks returning (albeit a Toyota truck instead of a Ford Ranger with a Mazda emblem)? A guy can dream.

[@JK-ld8cd]

would like to see some info on the hybrid cx50. I think it is a toyota hybrid system

[@GF-mf7ml]

When you want Corolla cross or HRV but with 6 sp automatic.

[@Fevebblefester]

Cubic inches have a quality all their own.

[@nthgth]

Right? Plus, that 6500-RPM redline is very respectable for a non-sports car. I think that thing puts out ~190hp, plenty to have a good time with an engine that likes to play like that and a non-CVT transmission

[@styffydawg]

We LOVE our CX-9!!!

[@seanthompson8071]

I think it was the best looking SUV out there!

[@yournightmare9999]

Cx9 looks better than cx90 👍

[@Argedis]

My only problem with the CX-30 is the EXTREMELY SMALL WINDOWS! The black plastic panels hide how small they are. It's 75% Door 25% Window. Literally Camaro sized windows. The only thing above the window line is your head not even your shoulders.

[@mardyneszelc9771]

I purchased a 2008 Mazda 3 S Touring new 16 years ago. I still enjoy driving it. Zoom Zoom.

[@kclefthanded427]

I would still buy a Mazda3 hatchback since I don't need AWD over the CX-30 but I get it why he chose the CX-30

[@Arthur_Hastings]

I just wish Mazda sedans were still available in manual transmission here in North America 😫😫😫

[@jamescaron6465]

I had a 626 with a 5 speed. That thing was a tank.

[@nthgth]

I would still love a first gen 6 with the 220hp V-6 and 5-speed.

[@NVRAMboi]

Premium Trim only (in the Mazda 3). It's there.

[@t.k.morris]

@@NVRAMboi Not in a Sedan though in USA 2024 , just one option being the Premium H/B. I had to buy the H/B model in 2023 to get the manual. Bummer for me as I prefer the sedans.

[@t.k.morris]

Agreed! I had to get the H/B to get the manual in my 2023 Premium. Only trim level with the manual.

[@Brararaf101]

6 speed auto and no turbo what like going back in time Mazda I love the interior quality and sexy interior if cx5 was little bigger would got it instead my rav

[@Modeltrainscarsstereos614]

Mazdas are ok but they aren’t as good as a Toyota. They have a joint partnership in Huntsville Alabama where the engine for my car was made. The Mazda millennia and the old mpv and Miata are where it’s at. This one here is just ok. Interested to see how the 6 does when they bring it back. Oh the 626 was good and the b2000.

[@sylviam6535]

The turbo on Mazda SUVs has pretty low boost - the wear and tear of it is not like a sports car.

[@barrysurdex5521]

Mr Kilmer Could you do a review on Open pilot Comma Ai technolog. That works on toyota's honda many more. Would like to see your opinion.
