I remember calling you & giving me advice on the Cx5. Bought one & it's a 2500cc petrol, this car is a joy to drive. Tried the new Harrier but the Cx5 performance is utterly a dream. Funny thing I was able to change my infotainment system to English using Google lens
I love this channel ,,am a third year student pursuing bachelor of science in computer science,,I belive one day I will own a mazda cx5 kwa sababu mmi huzipenda but for now acha nisome nikiwatch content ya canversations😜
I have a 2021 sky active add blue 2.2 diesel. Economy is great. Manual.i live in England 🇬🇧 so I use the required b7 diesel which benefits the environment. Add blue is £17 in Halfords. The best suv I have driven so far...
Acceleration comes down to the transmission, cvts may not be fun to drive but they are very responsive, that point where the automatic transmission shifts, there are delays, cvts hold revs when accelerating
@@amoslovey actually Williams F1 had planned on including the CVT to their car during their dominant years in the 90's, then FIA banned them from implementing it, stifling its development.
Good stuff as always bros. Mnafanya kazi poa manzee. Nakuambia siku hizi nashtua watu na majina kama CVT 😂😂. Nakaa msomi manzee. I'm glad I get to learn more about cars
Great review. But for diesel cars its not about 0-100, if you want to see the torque in action panda kinungi uone this thing will push 130km/h and above easily like 1kd-ftv on the prados, hiace and hilux on low revs
@@eliudwambugu5185 I hear people say diesel variants turbocharged (even the 1500cc demio diesel version) have too much power but I haven't tried those. The 2000cc naturally aspirated I have has all the power that I need.
Good review always informative. KaMbugua how about we have a leaderboard or something for the 0-100 performance. Think about CK we would love to compare all cars in a simplified iebc way 😂😂😂😂
Mazda looks , safety and realibility are top notch but ile ya diesel for me it's a no but for people who can do regular routine check ups it's a plus because they're powerful and fuel efficient . For those guys who like to stand out and performance endea mazda hii gari inaitisha na hazina cvt ...
Now 8 months driving Mazda Cx5. Have cruised it to Uganda once. It's really amazing car. Only prob I've with it is lack of a convenient space for spare tyre.
Most people are fooled by the Kickback the torque diesel engines make you feel, being pushed back into the seat, then they equate that to being fast. This is why most people think diesel vehicles like the Prado's, landcruisers, hilux, cx 5 etc are "fast". They just make you "feel" your going fast...a fast car can be very smooth and linear and before you know it, you're are at shocking speeds, but your body doesn't register how quick you are moving.
Lakini try to do highway cruising and hilly journeys with your linear fast cars and see whether you will keep up with these diesels. They don't give in to gravity. They may not necessarily be the fastest 0-100 on flat ground lakini you just can't keep up with them.
@@KipngetichRono11 a dsg and most 7 & 8 speed gearboxes changes so smoothly and effortlessly your hardly feel the gear change or change in rpm...unless that is you're pushing them
@@davidmbugua4018 yes sure the diesel are generally better on hilly terrain...petrol need to rev higher to keep up the speed & momentum...Well that's upto a certain point & engine capacity to which petrol engines being lighter and with efficient gearboxes surplus diesel's anytime anywhere apart from hard 4x4 applications and load carrying/pulling capacity...since torque kicks in at very low rpms for diesel engines and remains constant throughout...but at the end of the day horsepower always beats torque...a high powered petrol engine will beat a high torqued engine. Its why on a long linear hill climb eg Kinungi...yes the diesel may get a headstart...but once the petrol engine is allowed to pick up to + 5000rpm consistently...it will zoom past the diesel.
@@TheJoker-qn6vw you are one of the guys that really understand difference between diesel and petrol engines. Many may not agree that a petrol vehicle with 240hp and 300NM will always embarrass a diesel eg mazda cx5 with 170hp and 420 NM.
How about you turn traction control off, then with left foot on break, and right foot giving a rev for a better and faster launch. When ready, release left foot from break and floor the acceleration...this should give bettet launch and faster time
Hehe Hii sijui kama ni shida iko nayo ama ni yeye hataki kufinya , that car is fast from my experience. Ata hizo atenza zilinyamwa anasema how do you expect a stock atenza to beat a custom build legacy with a supercharged 3 litre engine
Wonderful reviews so far 👏🏽👏🏽💯 What I can advice going forward is on the part of 0-100kph time. You should consider using a GPS speedometer application since you know manufacturers today have variations in their speedometer readings. Some are known to read more than 5-10kph of your actual speed for reasons such as avoiding speeding tickets (can’t explain all here mna eza google ) Alafu the series on re-driven, most of those cars might have gone through some bits of modifications such as one could have come with size 14 inch rims but owner decided to put size 15 or 16 inch rims which now will give a false speedo reading or like in my case i changed my 4 speed gearbox and put a 5 speed one but still maintained the 4 speed speedo cable and clock now when I’m doing 100kph on the GPS , kwa clock it reads 55 kph. So using a GPS will be a level benchmark for all cars. Keep up the good work 👍👍
Great 👍 review. But am a Toyota diehard. Doesn't matter the engine size. Our pocket defines what we need not what we want. I love 1500cc n 1800cc Toyotas. Nothing more...!!!!!
If not doing so already suggest using a 12v plug in USB charging adapter for charging phones.USB slots in my cars are also too slow. Adapter works fine on my Mazda6 even when phone is working as sat nav. Great cars. All the best to you.
Hii gari Iko tops. Someone I know bought it n let me drive it for a day, I was overtaking everything on the road. No Turbo lag whatsoever, also depends on the type of tyres n rims you have, it's a torque monster. I recommend a strong 7 out of 10 overall review. Hii gari iko poa. Buy it.
Am drawoned between the cx5 GT and subaru forester Non turbo 2016 /2017 but upon doing further reviews on the same sometimes the reviews bring my attention to the mazda it is a unit of its own with a classic look and performance.
You don't need an Android radio on the new generation Mazdas because with a simple software update, you get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay direct! Those Mazda infotainment systems are just fine. Get familiar with them. Also, CX-5 sio gari ya 0-60mph/0-60kph.
In 'Driving with the Boyz', you guys belt up and leave KaMbugua at the mercies of the forces. If you brake hard, he will come dashing between you and Ibra to be stopped by the Windshield.
Comfortable and good looking car. But it's becoming increasingly clear that Nissan has always been a better than most cars. Sijui mbona watu huzichukia.
Erick . Accept my challenge. If my atenza hit less than 10sec ...0 to 10pkm/hr . You will have to bow down and salute the mazda family and especially the diesel mazda fans. Accept my challenge
Amazing content I have watched each and every content you upload including Monday night live but hapo Kwa team score naona kuna opaqueness how can a discovery 2, xtrail,Mazda CX-5 2017 just to mention a few score 8 !!!
