Is The 2024 Mazda CX-50 Improved? 

Nice! Appreciate it & thanks for watching!

Nice thanks for watching!

"heavy" steering is really more of a preference thing

i love heavy steering

Nice!

The new still has tight steering compared to the competition but feels good imo.

Since it’s all electric they should really have option for the steering.

yep. I actually prefer tighter/stiffer steering and dislike loose steering as found in say the audi

Nice!

The one I had was a press car from Mazda so contained all the changes for 2024.

Nice Mazda definitely carries sportiness into its SUVs.

Nice congrats!

The 23 is fixed to? Which one does she have?

its actually a shame people complained about it. they dont understand how awesome the previous feel was.

Actually go into the Information center screen and go into the top setting and I forget but i think it was in maintenance

Thanks for watching! Yes should be soon actually.

Honestly you may want a CX-30 then. The CX-50 still feels like a big & wide vehicle compared to GTI. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NZupQxF0rWs.htmlsi=pHwO3SE4waZ8ICun

I recently replaced my 2017 Golf R (manual) with CX-50 GT Turbo. After a 2-week of daily driving, I am super satisfied with the CX-50. I am a big fan of Mini (owned 5-door S and Clubman S), and this CX-50 GT Turbo is very much like Mini Countryman (probably performs somewhat between S and JCW in my opinion). Depending on your own car experience and preference, you may like CX-30 more, but if you need little bit more room, then CX-50 should work really well.

I own 2023 cx50 turbo for 9 month and 12k miles. Please consider following as a reasons not to switch to Cx50 : 1. Cx50 handellingand does not feel as intimate as GTI. 2. Paint chips extremely easily. Consider to spend $$ on PPF with Mazda. 3. Mazda DOES NOT listen to its owners. The remote start software MazdaConnect does not allow you to set the climate settings. The engine shut down once the door is open… these are Extremely annoying quirks especially during winter season. And there is no software update to fix these issues for more the a year. The software bugs could be fixed in one week. 4. New Cx50 depreciates $8-$10k in its first year. GTI holds its price extremely well. 2023 Cx50 turbo ride with 20 inch wheels is loud and harsh. I still like cx50 compared to other small SUVs, but if you do not need such to support your lifestyle - stick with GTI.

@@vrojcov I already ditched the GTI for a CX5 (non turbo) - not 50. I didn't expect the CX5 to handle like the GTI, but the Mazda handles extremely well. I'm very happy with the handling of it for an SUV. As for paint chips, the forum I was on for the GTI had numerous people saying that paint chipped easily. As for remote start - I don't use it. I started to download the app, then thought "Why the hell am I doing this?" I don't want to 'eff around with my phone to deal with my car. I don't always even take the phone with me. As for ride - I stuck with 17" wheels with generous sidewalls. I'm done with huge huge wheels and low profile tires. I don't miss my GTI at ALL.

Yes metric is an option in the settings menu.

Ah good to know thanks!

not for the discontinued cx9..and it sucks,..they don't fix it

All good choices. Unfortunately I haven’t reviewed a CX5 yet to compare.

Now how could he have "shown the fixes" in a video format?

@@rlsedition easily

@@Mrtellitlikeitis "Heavy steering" was a complaint in the 2023 CX-50. How do you show the problem has been fixed with a video?

Yes Mazda’s are always fun to drive!

I am getting one this week. Would you recommend non Turbo or Turbo?

Thanks for posting this. My daily was a 2019 Golf R-did 93,000 awesome miles. Then I took my wife’s Touareg. Now I’m shopping for bad-weather cars. If you had a Golf R and like this, it’s a good sign for me. I sat in one tonight and loved the driving position.

@@user-cu5pl1qv7h Turbo for sure in CX-50 as it’s on the heavy side.

@@CarGuy11 Thanks 🙏🏻

Nice I actually loved the CRV Hybrid I reviewed! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QWYCGS2_l5w.htmlsi=s1kmJKsanPCBhPBO

​@@CarGuy11 - Yeah, I don't think the CRV was a bad choice at all and I told her, while I had a preference, I thought both were good choices. She wasn't going to go wrong picking from those two. I found her reasoning humorous but it wasn't flawed ... always good to have a trusted mechanic in your back pocket.

lol whatever.

Yeah I’d stick to lower trims or CX-5.

Needs digital dashboard…

​@@jccancel5941no

A Mazda does not turn into an endless money pit like a BMW does.

@@taran1900 lol that's true - but I was just comparing price points

Yeah no improvement to the seats unfortunately.

Thats dissapointing. There is no other mid sized SUV with the Looks and driving experience of the CX-50. Well maybe the Jag.. but then there is jag realiability. Maybe I get a CX-50 and have the seats moddified.@@CarGuy11

​@Leewilly440 did u have the leather or fabric seats?

@@erbrooks TP+. Leather.

Right I missed it last year.

Yeah they definitely affect the ride.

Yeah, the 20 inch rims kill the ride and I am a mazda lifer

I have the 17 inch wheels on my 23 prefered plus. Rides better then with the 20s

Just swapped out the 20s on my 24' premium plus for 17 wheels and Wildpeak tires.. so glad I did!

True definitely looks tougher.

I really want to get a CX-5 for review now. It has the independent rear suspension and think it’s probably the sweet spot for space & price.

@@CarGuy11 It appears so. I have never driven either. But just based on looks I thought this had more appeal inside and out. Of course there are some that seem to enjoy it, but an overwhelming amount of people seem to be much happier with the CX-5 in terms of comfort and driving experience.

​@Ricky-mo6mv Don't put too much emphasis on what those people think. They are the crowd that expected the CX50 to be exactly like a cx5. What sense does that make? Hey meet my new car, same as the old car! Mazda designed the 50 for a different buyer. The CX5 is really a lower priced luxury vehicle the CX50 was designed to be more utilitarian and so they didn't make the interior as sophisticated. There are cheaper plastics in it. I've been in both and I thought the 50 was just fine. Mazda just put the money in different places on it. Like the Pano roof, the larger interior, which the 5 doesn't have. They gsve the buyer 2 different choices but some fans of the 5 can't understand that.

@@differencemaker242 Likely some good points there Sir..

@Ricky-mo6mv Yeah man, it's like the guy who travels to Miami and complains that's its not like his home in NYC. It's like yeah, who knew you'd see different things and have different experiences in a different place. They fail to appreciate the differences.

It is a touch screen when in CarPlay at a stop but agree.

Oh wow would have loved the blue! Do you remember what it was called?

The sand color is better 😉

I love the white, and polymetal grey.

@@Incomudro1963 I have white and am sort of getting tired of just white-- although I DO think it looks GREAT on these body styles. I want the soul RED. They use to have a blue that "glowed" like the soul red does but don't offer it now- although that dark one is close- but a bit dark for me.

@@davidwayne9982 I understand, and Mazda's Soul Red is the best red in the industry.

beyond firm, my biggest complaint.

It’s a good choice for sure.

Agreed. This is the SUV for people that don't want an SUV.

😝

Haha good luck!

Haha! I’m trying to convince myself that my 2020 CX-5 is too old with 35K miles on it…kinda want to see the CX-70, but it’s probably bigger than I want

Yeah curious about CX-70 too and hopefully they work out some of the issues CX-90 had. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kRZr2Tq5CcY.htmlsi=_yv7KW-1d8cXBPZH

I'm the opposite. I have a 2014 Mazda 6 with 139k miles and my wife has been strongly 'suggesting' that its time for something new. I'm considering the CX-50 Turbo Premium in polymetal machine gray but I also like the fact that I don't have any car payments to make. Its a quandary.

This is actually a preproduction press car from Mazda that has all the updates.

💣 BOOM! You got served! 😂 Now remember going forward to not act like you know better than the guy doing the review.
