Should you buy a Mazda CX-5? Good with some issues.

I own a Mazda 626 Sedan in Prestige Silver Metallic colour, 1990 model (fully imported from Japan) ... bought brand new in Melbourne, Australia as a gift from my father for my 18th birthday. He paid $32,000 Australian dollars for it back then! It's now 32 years old, has done 500,000 kilometres (310,000 miles) and l continue to drive it daily. Has never failed me. Unbelievable car. I cannot part with it. My first and so far, only car ...!! It still looks like new and has always been outside for its entire 32 years, so far. People cant believe it! Six weeks ago, l purchased the 2022 Mazda 3, also fully imported from Japan. I am expected to take delivery of it at the end of July. I am keeping my 1990 Mazda 626 (the love of my life!) and will never part with it and intend to drive both cars! Love and warm regards from Melbourne, Australia.

Their 'soul red' paint colour is one the best shades of red ever.

You are actually a good reviewer. The fact that you include technical details makes you a complete and qualified reviewer to me.

Lifelong Toyota fan. Was looking at getting a Camry, but their laziness in getting production/output to the customer made me look elsewhere. So, test drove, fell in love with, and bought a CX-5 last week-but not the turbo. Dealership was very eager to come off the price and add some incentives, So far, very happy with my new car, and the standard options are really high end. The only difference is MPG. I'm getting 25 city and 35 highway, but still too early to tell. But for $6K less than the Camry, I'll be able to pay for for gas for years to come, and break even. Thanks for the review.

In my case, I prefer the rotary dial over the touchscreen. Why? I hate seeing smudges, plain and simple. 😄

Best thing about the interior… no fingerprints on the center screen. 😊 The control system is so easy to use and after owning a Mazda for several years, I never have to look at the screen to change tracks, sources, or other features.

I've got a 2015 CX-5 Grand Touring with over 200,000 miles (mostly highway) and it's been an amazing vehicle for me.

The most informative, detailed mechanical reviews I've ever seen. Please don't stop doing car reviews!

You're really good at this. Much more thoughtful than so many other youtube reviews.

I have a 2018. Pretty low mileage because of Covid. I love it. Nice interior, lots of safety features. I love the heads-up display. Would buy another in a heartbeat.

Excellent review that helped me decide to go with 2024 Mazda CX-5 versus HR-V, Corolla Cross, or Subaru. I do not want CVT or turbo, not at all. Thank you, very much!

A proud CX-5 owner here. Thank do much for the review AMD! LOVE YOUR REMIX CHANNEL!

There's 4 or 5 car review sites that I regularly check out. They all have their own angles and dangles and unique ways of reviewing. I like yours because you uncover hidden things that make cars work. In this case you point out engine components that make the 2.5 Skyactiv engine unique and special. Same with the transmission. Also, you commented about the driving position and what the driver sees when behind the wheel. Most don't do that. Thanks, well done!

Love your un-biased review's and wonderfully educational in depth videos. Thank you for the time you spend helping other motorist's informed.

Absolutely loving this series on other makes and models, and not just toyota/lexus. Please make more!!! Your channel is the next best thing right next to Your Car Angel

I disagree about the infotainment. Both my wife and I love the fact that it's not a touchscreen. We use Android Auto so maybe Carplay is worse with the dial but it's very easy to get used to.

This guy needs more subscribers.

We are still driving our CX-5 we bought in 2012. What a great SUV.! Never had a problem! Your review was right on! Keep up the great reports!

Great video - thanks! My wife and I bought a 2015 CX-5 in 2017. Liked it so much that we traded it in for a new 2019 CX-5 Grand Touring model. We like that even more, and we’re thinking about buying the 2023 CX-70. I’ve done some research, comparing to the 2022 CX-5 Premium Plus, to compact luxury SUVs, and concluded the latter cost approx. $10K more the the former. No thanks. My wife has no interest in driving anything other than her Mazda!

Man, i love you review. It's not the type of review when someone tries to accelerate as fast as possible and tell us the result. No, we want your reviews - very informative and information that is needed for an average driver, average person who wants honest review of the car for daily use, not for racing. Thank you!
