Wait, does the US version of 2017 CX-5 GT AWD engine have "cylinder deactivation"?

Different review - basically the whole way through the CX-5 is driven hard and to me does a great job performing considering the tester seems to be on the heavy side weight wise:

Where is that guy, he looks to be speeding a bit!

I wish I could get my CX-5 on roads like this more often!

Thomas over at Autogefuhl has a great review on the CX-5 2.5 petrol. Very detailed. Note his enjoyment when overtaking on the motorway in Sport Mode.

Mazda versus Lexus
http://www.motortrend.com/cars/lexus/nx/2018/2017-mazda-cx-5-vs-2018-lexus-nx-300-comparison-review/
Looks like Mazda has succeeded in upping resale according to MT: The Mazda’s residual value after five years is also surprisingly close to that of the Lexus—which is generally considered the industry gold standard and was the highest of all eight vehicles we evaluated for this test.

Nice review. After watching redline, alex on auto, and savagegeeses review like 20 times its good to see another perspective. Ive owned luxury cars and they still havent been as great of an all-around vehicle as my Cx5 has been

Nice review. After watching redline, alex on auto, and savagegeese’s review like 20 times it’s good to see another perspective. I’ve owned luxury cars and they still haven’t been as great of an all-around vehicle as my Cx5 has been

Love that savagegeese channel. I don't spend a whole lot of time on YouTube, so I had no idea who he is until reading this thread earlier this year. Dude knows his stuff. In comparison, some other channels sound like its reading straight from a brochure.
