  • Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! UA-cam's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we will take an up close and personal in depth look at the newly redesigned 2012 Mazda5 Grand Touring. Boasting practicality and fun, this vehicle is a nice choice for those looking for a more practical vehicle without sacrificing on the fun of a sports sedan. During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
    FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW:
    In this channel you will find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of UA-cam!

    I'm aware this is an old video, but given my family has just bought one of these I really appreciate your thorough and easy to follow review and demonstration on all the cubbies, nooks and how everything folds and stows away - I feel like I know the car before we've picked it up :)

      @Hyperspace Explorer it's very good. For a ten year old car with 90k on it she drives very well, feels solid and is really versatile with seating configuration. Very badly with it so far. I got the smaller diesel manual and have got 52mpg thus far :)

    As the owner of a 2007 model, the Mazda5 is one hell of a fun vehicle to drive. It's really peppy and handles very well seeing it is based on the Mazda3 platform. Plus even while travelling at 70MPH, I was still able to get 28MPG on the highway. The engine is very smooth and refined, mind you I own the 2.3L based version.

    As usual another exceptional presentation . The Asian car manufactures I noticed are very clever in the installation of creature comforts and compartments and the layouts of these cars . I like how the head rests move down and additional ideas as the small tray moves like your in first class on your flight on an aircraft and about a half dozen other great things that were shown in this clip ...

    Have a 2012.. One of the best vehicle I ever owned. 100k and basically no problems. Fold the seats down and use it like a cargo van. So many trips in this baby. Keep her service up ( by a trusted Mech). I do all my own service. Trans service at about 50k and several drain n refills since. Regular oil changes and let it warm up a bit b4 hard driving. @80k she got new plugs, coolant flush, brake fluid flush, new drive belt. Also, replaced the battery at around the 5 year mark. of course replace your air filter ever 15k or so. Yes the rear shocks make some noise, but it's nothing, they are inexpensive and easy to replace. Don't get the factory ones, get some monotube KYB or even the standard Monroe shocks and it's all good. Got her first brake job(front only) @99k and new tires. Only really concerning issue I had was the brakes, I came in hot at a gas station and hit a hole where they were working on the road and the anti-lock brake system kicked in. Then the brake pedal went almost to the floor right after that. I was a little concerning and I had that issue a couple times. I bled the brakes a time or two, thinking maybe I had gotten air in the system. It always kinda corrected itself. I now know that it is an issue with the brake anti-lock module. I was thinking I needed a new master cylinder, but that wasn't the case. Now that I know what was causing it, I haven't had anymore issues. I just try to avoid any sudden stops that might cause the anti-lock system to be activated in an extreme manner. I keep her squeaky clean and don't abuse her and she is pretty much as good as new. Will most likely keep it for a long time, b/c it will make a great second vehicle also. Should be good for 2-300k miles. Most issues people have are due to negligence, lack of care, ignorance and taking it to bad n rough mechanics.

      @@bhadz100 I have a used 2007 and when I start it I get that little engine rattle even in warm weather. But I think you'll like this more than your CX-7, as the 5 has sliding doors, room for 5 more with you and don't believe what you hear about the 3 row. There's enough room when the second row seats are moved just a notch or 2. Another option for the seating is rotating seating. One day someone sits on the back the gets the center the next day or week. If you don't need the seats you can put them all down and have a huge area to put slot of stuff. I can fit my 29" rim bike in here without having to remove the front tire. All in all I think you'll like this more than you Cx,-7.

    No lie dude you should be on Top Gear America, or do a guest appearance on Top Gear UK. You have the potential and the recognition from mostly anyone who saw your channel. If you would do more test drive with an in depth review just like this one then you are set. It doesn't have to be expensive cars, just cars that normal people would buy for every day usage. Set up more cameras for the twist n turns etc. Show people the cars' pros n cons. All n all keep on doing what you are doing man.

    Great video, totally complete and I think better made than any from the dealer. The unique "fail" I've seen on this model is the lack of the third passenger's seat in the second row seat. I can't understand why for the US market this model comes with only capability for two passengers when in other countries there comes with the entire three seats, the mediun space is a kind of three-quarter seat but easily can be seated three people in the second row, Mazda 5 is an excellent minivan after all.
