Mazda continually develops clever engineering solutions to their cars.
What many companies might call old technology, Mazda finds a way to reinvent and improve in as many ways as possible. The Nissan Rogue, Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, and Toyota Rav4 Hybrid all use CVT transmissions. If everyone in the segment is doing it, surely there's a reason, right? Mazda has their own plan, with uniquely developed automatic and manual transmissions for their lineup. This video will focus on Mazda's automatic transmission style, a 6 speed planetary box with a torque converter, but also some very clever implementations to improve efficiency and driver feel. Zoom zoom or whatever.

Another advantage of a torque converter that spends more time locked up, locks up more frequently ect. is that the transmission fluid will stay cooler, and the life of the transmission fluid will increase.

I bought a beautiful red Mazda CX5 for my wife minus the turbo and when you put it in the sport mode it scoots along just fine and makes it fun to drive. My wife is 62 years old but she puts a lot of miles on her cars every year so no need for the turbo. The interior is very nice vs the other crossovers and the drivers seat gives me plenty of room for my 6 ft -195lb frame when ever I drive it. The Honda seat was very cramped. Always been a Honda car and Toyota truck owner but the Mazda CX5 won me and my wife over this time around.

@WatchGeek 4 года назад

11th year of driving and owning a Euro Spec 2008 Mazda 6. It is one of the funnest to drive front wheel family cars I have ever driven! It still puts a smile on my face in the corners and I still enjoy shifting the gears as the gearbox is one of the best I tried. It has also been reliable as a wood burning stowe and I have no plans on changing it for a newer car any time soon. I also drive both this new generation CX5 and the previous generation CX5 at work and they are very responsive and fun to drive for an SUV, but i still prefer A REGULAR CAR

@mikukumiku 3 года назад

Happy owner of a CX-5 here. I don't have the turbocharged variant (just the 2.0L PRO model), but I can say, yes, this is an immensely enjoyable car to drive. Thanks for explaining the quirks of the transmission, as I do notice how shifting is almost imperceptible, but I have always wondered why the car seems to want to force itself on 2nd gear when going up a steep incline. If I enter the incline without enough momentum, it tends to try and remain on the higher gear instead of shifting down. This is perhaps the only instance I've ever had to jump in and help the car out by shifting down, but is this perhaps a result of what you were explaining regarding Mazda wanting high torque? Thanks again, I'm new to your channel, but I'm loving all the content you share.

Lot of people not even know what is a cvt, they just go and buy the car that they like having in consideration reputation of the brand (that can change real quick, for example: integration of CVT....) , fuel economy, budget, etc. The fact that still there is a high number in sales of vehicles equipped with CVT, in my opinion, it is not due to the people understand the implications of having a cvt in their car from the stand point of reliability and proper maintenance. Once people start experiencing trouble with cvt's those numbers can start to change, unless the manufacturers start to improve them.

As a gen 1 CX5 owner. The Mazda Cx5's are the best for people who love to drive. I bought mine basically from the driving experience as I was older and needed something with space as all I had before was an integra and an RSX. Plus living in Canada means having AWD is very useful. So it drives amazing, feels great, I've had my fair share of driving it at its limits on multiple different occasions and handles pretty amazing. Honestly don't regret the decision looking back at what I was interested in. Gen 1's are like a Miata in SUV form.

@inox1ck 5 лет назад

Edme an suv gives you higher ground clearance, AWD, a bit more space and it’s short so it doesn’t take too much space so it is clearly more practical. The center or gravity is higher but they are a bit wider so with hard suspension they can take the corners fairly well.

I recently rented a 2019 Hyundai Elantra with a CVT and a small; 1.4, 1.6 or 2.0 liter engine. It was the first time I had ever driven a car with a CVT and I was very impressed with the performance and fuel mileage on a car with such a small engine and considerable weight. Putting the car in sport mode really made a positive difference in responsiveness for a minimal decline in fuel economy. For a gasoline engine passenger vehicle, I believe the future is with CVTs as the technology evolves. OTOH: My lightweight 370Z 6M with its large displacement NA engine and very flat torque curve has absolutely no problems(engine lugging) with gear selection at any RPM or nearly any road condition, just step on the gas for instant acceleration. If I need more than an ordinary amount of acceleration I can downshift as needed. The 6-speed close-ratio transmission allows me to tailor the RPM to exactly where I want it to be on the engine's torque curve. This is why I don't think that well-made manual transmissions will die out for certain kinds of cars. Lighter weight, greater simplicity and a more direct and solid drive are some of the reasons I prefer a manual.
