I just saw a coworkers CX 50 in the parking lot that looks identical to yours. The door pieces you showed stick out on both of their doors. When things like that are visible and clear to see, I have to wonder what other quality issues I’m not seeing.
This is the real reason why we shouldn’t bring the production to United States. Higher labor cost and lower quality, who in the world would want that? I’m all for employing Americans only if they actually produce something that has quality! Hopefully it’s a first year model thing!
Nah, I have the '23 model Meridian Edition. The vehicle has been flawless. There isn't a vehicle in this segment that matches it in quality, power, and beauty. And all for around 43k. It's a budget car that's premium.
Thank you for your video. I like the quality control point of view. I will be test driving a cx-50 this weekend. But ngl, this video has me rethinking if it's a viable option.
I don’t want to deter away from the car. But I also just wanna make you aware to pay attention. I honestly absolutely love this car despite some of the quirks. Definitely happy I got it
I have had three Mazda’s and all with no major issues, just normal wear and tear. I had a built in Japan 2014 3 sGT sedan for 7 years. Traded that in for a 2021 CX30 Turbo Premium Plus, built in Mexico. I had the CX30 for 2 years and 8 months, again no issues. She had 48K on her. I only traded her in because I wanted something a bit larger. I wasn’t looking at getting a new car, it just happened. And when the time comes after the CX50, I will most like just get a newer version.
It has nothing to do with made in America. Most Camrys, Corollas, RAV4s are made in America, and they are mostly all bulletproof. The main problem here is, one should be wary when thinking about purchasing an all new vehicle, within the first model year or two. These bad quality issues are usually ironed out by the second and third model years. So my advice, avoid buying the first model year of an all new design.
@@blakespower My 2020 Japan-built Corolla SE Sedan 6-MT (built in late 2019 pre-covid) was a mess & the most problematic vehicle that I have owned in over 40 years. I ditched it after only 2 years & 10K miles due to all the problems & defects with it. Purchased a Mexico-built 2022 Mazda CX-30 CE to replace it & haven't had any problems or issues whatsoever for over 2 years now. It's all a roll of the dice with all brands these days, regardless of where it is assembled. Too much crazy tech-bloat.
Mazda build in Shade , it took them 2 years to find people to work at AL plant and now this quality of assembly is not even close to Japan . I think Mexico maybe better but Japan build Mazda is a real Mazda . Who know if Quality of assembly will ever match Japan .
American auto factory workers really need to improve their professional quality and be more dedicated, rather than just thinking about striking for higher wages every day. If this car was assembled in Japan, these problems wouldn't exist. The assembly quality at Tesla's American factories is also significantly worse than at their Chinese factories.
Also I always lease so in a year or two even though my leases is 3 years, I always work a new deal and they put me in a new car with a few bucks more a month and zero down so I give them the car as a used car and I get a new car 😅 so I’m not going to waste time honestly
wow thats a lot of miles is this your daily? i have the same with 3500 miles. i have a second car that just wont die so im trying to use that as much as i can first.
Thanks for the info. I actually just got appointment setup for my door garnish. I. mentioned to the serviceman that one of the garnish(driver side) is sticking out, and it was reported issue. They ordered the part for me and will fix it this week. I didnt even notice until you mentioned it. few cars on the lot has this same problem.
The Corolla Cross that is built at that same new Huntsville, AL plant as the CX-50 also seems to have an abundance of quality/build issues. Sounds like that build location needs to get its act together.
The door trims looks like an engineering problem, nothing to do with assembly. 90% of the quality issues are engineering problems, rush to market before the vehicle is ready.
