    LOL @ Rav4

    Couldn't you say the same thing regarding the CRV? They have hundreds of thousands of CRV on the road and the issues are actually few. And as far as I know, I haven't read any reports of a single engine failure related to this, and yet it continues to sell.

    LOL @ Rav4

    More like masked it. Highly doubt a 'software' fix is going to fix it. Considering how many auto companies have had issues with CD, I'd stay far far away from it.

    LOL @ Rav4

    And yet none of those issues are as serious as the cylinder deactivation issue in the 2.5 NA CX-5. One guy on this forum even got an engine replacement. And not sure why you brought up the infotainment system? Toyota's system in the RAV4 is still WAY WAY better then what is in the CX-5, which is...

    Are you waiting for a third-generation CX-5?

    Agreed about the sunroof. I live in LA and while the weather is nice year round I can't stand the sun beating down on my head.

    Car and Driver 10 Best 2020

    Funny you mention this. I was questioned a month or so ago on this forum when I mentioned the CRV had a better overall safety system then the CX-5. I agree the blind spot monitoring is not accurate in the CX-5. Also the emergency braking is way too sensitive. I know it is adjustable as far as...

    What is wrong with CX-5 Signature?

    One thing I really like about the sig is the black headliner. I know others don't mention it as a positive but I tend to like darker, more intimate interiors since it's always sunny here and the black headliner really helps with that. Especially with tinted windows I think it would like great...

    Next Gen CX-5 Design and Content Suggestions

    So does anyone know if the 2017+ CX-5 is a mid cycle refresh or is it supposed to be a full redesign of the 2016? If it is a mid cycle refresh, then a full re-design should be coming soon. If it was a full re-design, then its likely they just add a few things to it over the next few years.

    Test drove 2019 CX-5. Disappointed

    I didn't mention about not talking about performance, just regarding taking it to a track. Does this guy have to worry about his hybrid battery dying on the road like it would on the track? And those SUVs are all luxury SUVs. People buy them for the badge. Mazda doesn't compete with them, they...

    302hp RAV4

    Toyota is launching a 3 pronged attack on Mazda, Honda and Subaru with the RAV4: Mazda: XSE trim Hybrid offers tuned sporty suspension. More aggresive styling on XSE trims. Substantial increase in power and fuel economy over CX-5 Turbo. Honda: Equivalent interior space. Better MPG with PHEV...

    302hp RAV4

    Mazda Executives: We have a new font on the rear hatch of the CX-5. We also gave it an extra 10 pounds of torque and fake engine noise. That should be good enough to compete with the CRV and RAV4 Hybrids...

    Test drove 2019 CX-5. Disappointed

    LOL how many people are seriously going to take these vehicles out to a track? I'm not even sure why people bring this stuff up in arguments. Iv'e driven a CX-5(2018) and a CRV. Technically the CRV is faster but due to its turbo lag and the CX-5 being naturally aspirated, the CX-5 felt faster to...

    Mazda Ranked Highly by CR

    You can't really compare a Mazda forum to a Honda one. Honda sells 3-4 times more vehicles than Mazda, so of course you're going to see more problems from owners. If I went to an IPhone forum, I'm going to see more threads related to problems then lets say a LG forum.

    It's because some people like to point at the boogeymen(Toyota/Honda) because they're huge companies who are appearantly selling more vehicles than Mazda due to a 'past rep' of reliability. Nevermind the fact that they offer more interior space and vastly superior fuel economy. If Toyota/Honda...

    So people are really going to question the reliability of the RAV4? Its a brand new vehicle, new platform, new engine, new transmission. Most if not all new vehicles which get a drastic overhaul in every component ussually have issues in their first year. It's not carrying over the same 7-8 year...

    I personally like the looks of it. Looks like a mini 4Runner to me. But if everyone else hates it, it just proves my point that in this category, looks dont matter as much as people think they do. Space, fuel economy, and reliability trump everything else.
