Use Premium fuel when the manual doesn't recommend it? Carbon cleaning every 40K miles? 3,000 mile oil changes?! 5W30 oil?? You lost me. I'm calling BS on this video.
Just hit 126,000 miles on my 2017 Honda CRV. The only thing I had to replace have been fuel injectors. And that was literally 4 weeks ago. This new Traverse looked appealing to me, since Ive been kinda wanting more room when I take my family to Florida every year. Im gonna wait at least another 100,000 miles before I think about trading it in. Hopefully by then, all these new engines that have been coming out shows what theyre really made of. Never owned a GM, prior to my CRV I had a 2014 Tundra. And it was at 110K miles before I traded it in. Loved that truck, but my job transferred me and I had to commute 1 hour each way daily. That gas was killing me!
why cant i get an access cab anymore , just 2 door for 2wd. if you want a 4wd you need to buy a 4 door truck, at that point just buy an suv. 2018 sr5 sticker is 35 grand , 2024 sr5 is 45 grand and you get a little turbo 4 . they got rid of the avalon and replaced it with hybrid crown, no ice crown. no thanks my whole family is going back to domestic same reliability with 10 to 20 grand off the purchase cost compared with toyota.
Unfortunately Mazda is not all Japanese...they now have a lot of problems..as they share parts with Ford. Ford is Mazda..Mazda is ford... Just like Nissan has destroyed it's reputation because renault owns it too. Coming from a Mazda mechanic 😅😅😅
Automakers sacrificed reliability to get cleaner engines… which translates into: you paying more and getting less so china , indonesia, southamerica, india, pakistan can keep polluting for free …
I had my first Mazda, no problems.recall they fixed and gave me a great loaner car til it was done. Love the cx-5, just bought a new one....love the way they handle, look and drive!
Not sure if this a country thing, but was so confused when I kept hearing "oil" when in the transmission section. Never heard of trans fluid referred to as "oil". I was like why are you putting oil in the transmission? haha
@@sunshinecycling It was just a little surprising that you were confused. From the context, everything is absolutely clear, no matter what country you are from.
@@trumpeldorf Oil = Fluid; Fluid does not = Oil...by definition. Google "transmission fluid" and you'll get a thousand links/photos of ATF ("Automatic Transmission Fluid"). Google "transmission oil" and you may find a link or two and a couple of photos. Transmission lubricant is by far more referred to as "fluid"...hence "ATF" as the common acronym, unlike "engine/motor oil" that is always marketed as "oil" since it started as oil. ATF is a completely different product.
Though the 2.7L turbo 4 cylinder is proven a more reliable engine than the Ford 2.7L V6 Ecoboost but it's not perfect either. Rather have a 3.5L Atkinson cycle V6 range extender plug-in hybrid truck though. However a Cavalier with a 1.3 turbo 3 cylinder and an Aveo with its 1.2L sister engine would be pretty decent though. The GM 3.6L HFV6 engines have timing chain and water pump failures especially their earlier engines in the Gen 1 Cadillac CTS. However, I want an EV as my next vehicle no need to worry about turbo failures, premature main and rod bearing failures, etc., just set it and forget it.
Only time will tell how reliable it is. When the Traverse first came out, it was supposed to be good and turned out to be one of the worst vehicle in its category.
I have the new Canyon, and at first to second I have a small rough shift! No where smooth as the other years! I’m a little iffy on the transmission life
I bought a 2014 CX-5 GT with 158k miles. It had carbon buildup on the intake manifold leading to misfires. Other than that, one brake caliper, one ignition coil and one Bose speaker went bad. Front heated seat only heats the back.
This video is excellent. A lot of people don't know what real regular maintenance these vehicles require, especially the 2.2 diesel, which requires more maintenance than the petrol version.
Yet another ignorant, caveman thinking, review with absolutely no data to back up the position. The 2.4 was overbuilt to industrial standards. Modern turbos have been used reliably in many cars for over a decade with people routinely getting long service life. Get a clue flat earthers!
My 2024 traverse RS became faulty with the High pressure fuel pump and is currently at the dealership on back order with less than 100 miles I only enjoyed the vehicle for a couple days and that happened
Curious if this was just one vehicle tested or if it is in fact real scoring as some say in the comments it is not. Why does the background VW car have Russian license plates @10:32 and Russian paperwork? Was this car subject to harsh Russian weather conditions and fuel? Almost every comment in here is positive for the Mazda CX-5 rather than the negativity being displayed by the video.
Toyota has watched Ford GM and Dodge build shitty Trucks for years so they decided hey we can build over Priced Shit too. Anyone think we are going to see any of these turbo 4's show a Million Miles on the odometer like the old 5.7 V8 or V6 did? Toyota just invented through away engines so they should at least price them accordingly and tell people you Lucky Dog you just bought a 50,000 Mile Truck engine if your really really Lucky. They need to extend their Drive train Warranty or go back to their tried and true until they get the turbo 4's right.
Most people in the U.S.A. could care less about reliability unfortunately; all they care about is having the best and the coolest vehicle in their neighborhood, bottom line. So it doesn’t really matter if the Tacoma has the V6 or an engine with a turbocharger, they just want to be noticed and acknowledged by everyone around them.
I have had my CX5 for about 2+ years now with over 60,000 kms. Hands down the best vehicle and no trouble whatsoever. If you are looking for a vehicle in this segment. Just buy this one already.
