This is fabulous! Exactly what I needed to see to make my decision between the two models. I've been asking the salesmen to verbally give me something like this and they look at me like I'm from Mars and say "it's up to you". Thank you so much!
we just got a CX3 2017 FWD for a daily 120 miles commute. CX5 is obviously bigger but the CX3 is the right size between CX5 and Mazda 3 for commuting and city drive with good gas mileage and nice compactness, but if you look for cargo space, the CX5. we also have a Unlimited Wrangler that solves the need for cargo and space.
I have the CX-5 and I'm really enjoying it. I think the CX-3 looks fantastic, but the interior layout of the CX-5 is a lot better, especially in regards to the cup holders. On the CX-5, the cup holders are easily accessible, while on the CX-3, you need to move the arm rest out of the way in order to reach the cup holders. Mazda really has a nice line up though with all their vehicles.
Great comparison and reviews. Well done. I am decided on the 3 because there will never be anyone in the back seat (and probably the passenger seat) and the storage space is fine for one person to me. I can just but a small pillow behind me for lumbar support and save $3, 000.00. Hey, are you talking USD or CAD?
that cx3 needs! the E brake button, it will save so much space on a already cramp space. also it wouldn't hurt to make a 2 inches longer on the rear seats. The cx5 is a great car for singles, couples, small 4 members family with the kids being in the age where they don't need to be in rear car seats and are not teens yet and you don't need to carry a stroller any more. if kids are on the way the cx5 is the way to go. rigth now I have a 2 year old daughter and planning on having one more so in 6 month I'll be buying a crossover (currently own a 2 door jeep, cramp and we suffer for almost 2 years) thanks for the review Eric, it's just that I would like the lower models to be teste and only front wheel drive. I'm from San Diego so we never have snow (only in the mountains).
This is an awesome video, Dave. All you need now is to get your hands on the new CX-9!! The difference between these two crossovers IMO is purely down to the needs of the driver.
I’m 7 years late to the party, however, I’m trying to decide between these two very models right now (used). Now I’m all mixed up and don’t know which I want. Ugh.
@@everymandriver I think for me it’s a choice between compact and room. I’m in love with the CX-3 style inside and out but the functionality of the CX-5 plus roominess is more practical. Still a good looking unit as well.
Hi. Love your video comparison. Can you make a video comparison w/ 2015-2016 Mazda CX5: grand touring, touring to Honda CRV: Touring awd, touring, SE, EX, EXL, etc. Which ones are better for older adults first time drivers?! Which are better features, and what are the warranties/guarantee for each vehicles?! Thanks. 😄
Automatic transmissions, 2wd, & awd. What are the prices, is it better to drive used or new, and how much mileages are best if buy used ones?! I seen many leadership selling used and new ones w/ same prices. It's hard to decide the better one. Which brands are best for safety and extended guarantee of the vehicles?!
Your intro needs to be edited. You say the 2016 CX5 and the 2016 CX3 both have a 2.0lt 4 cylinder. Well the 2016 CX5 has a 2.5 ltr 4 cylinder with 185 hrs power. Other wise great video.
Possibly the most pointless car review video out there. Why compare 2 cars from different segments without being agnostic? They're are obviously different in size so telling viewers that the CX5 has more leg room and a wider centre console than a CX3 is ...well...obvious! What next? A comparison video between the a BMW 3 series and a BMW 7 series where it's "Advantage 7 series" because the bigger car is bigger? As for the position of the CX5 arm rest being lower, that would depend on the height of the seat as the armrest is fixed. Nothing is demonstrated to show how the cars perform on the road (acceleration, handling, AWD capabilities etc), and the only bit where we see the car moving, you provide a list of features than could've been given whilst static. So in summary, if you want the bigger car, buy the bigger car, and if you want the cheaper car, buy the cheaper car, and if you need AWD capabilities then just toss a coin.
I can not BELIEVE the CX-3 is smaller than the CX-5.. next you’re going to tell me water is wet. Also... you don’t need to say “I like”statements. I want a comparison, not a personally opinion. Where is the acceleration, the handling, the DRIVING?... disappointed.

This is a fantastic comparison video. Extremely well done! Would love to see more videos/formats like this.

Wait. You're telling me the compact SUV is larger than the sub-compact SUV? Revelation.
My point exactly.
(Although, i have just learnt that the cheaper car actually costs less.)
yes it is
Glad I could help help you!
I want either! But I’d have to find a seller on Craigslist if I want it lol..
I think the CX-5 won for me cause it's my dream car 😍
thank you so much for making this video. it was the tipping point on deciding on the CX5. cheers man!
“Speaking of Head, here it is” 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the comparison Dave. You really answered a lot of my questions about both cars.

Another fantastic video Dave. So glad you did one on the 2016 model. I just bought a CX-5 myself.
+Nick B Thank you, I really enjoyed putting this together - Dave, Everyman Driver
How much to you pay for it? Are you still enjoying it ?
CX-5, it's very beautiful
I love it
They look almost same size but I'd prefer the C x 3 sporty look

Agreed. The cup holder situation is no bueno on the CX-3. I own one and so far it’s my only dislike.
Great comparison video!! Very informative

Great vid, thanks for uploading!
Great video, extremely helpful!
Very neat video comparison. No BS. I like it. For posterity, I will get the Mazda CX-5, when I can afford it. ;)
Is this gentleman behind the “EA SPORTS, ITS IN THE GAME” phrase!?
I like this format, Dave. Can you compare the Honda HRV and CRV, and Audi Q3 and Q5 in the same manner? Thanks
+ormand3000 Probably not in this same manner... it's rare I have two cars together but I can work on it - Dave, Everyman Driver
Great comparison video. Thanks.
awesome videos, very helpful!
Good video..I love both Mazda..thanks.
the cx3 looks like a lexus
Thanks Dave! Great video! Looks like I have the better of the duo for me at least.
Is the CX5 in this video a Sport, Touring or Grand Touring? Thanks!
Good review straight and clear
This is an awesome video, Dave. All you need now is to get your hands on the new CX-9!! The difference between these two crossovers IMO is purely down to the needs of the driver.
+Mr. Mazda I probably will get one but I doubt I'll have the other two on hand at the time :-) - Dave, Everyman Driver
+Everyman Driver the cx4 is being released in 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the review Dave. I want the CX-5!
+sunnflowerr11 You're very welcome - Dave, Everyman Driver
They should make a CX-4
+PanzerBaren FYI, MAZDA has started the CX4 being released this 2016!
It is 2016, where is it?
Serious Business, it's going to be available in China, but not here.

I'm sorry, I am not interested in your STDs today.
I definitely would prefer a cx4, cx3 is too small, cx5 is too expensive

The Basic CX5 Version in Thailand is sold at the price of $38,000 start. Really wonder why customers have to pay $14,000 more in Thailand?
Importing
Yippee! Manual transmission!
Your intro needs to be edited. You say the 2016 CX5 and the 2016 CX3 both have a 2.0lt 4 cylinder. Well the 2016 CX5 has a 2.5 ltr 4 cylinder with 185 hrs power. Other wise great video.
This is the exact comparison I was looking for! I like the size of the cx3 but I prefer some scoot so maybe have to go with cx5.
question is it reliable as a 2016 Toyota Rav4 in the long run. i hear Toyota is always more reliable.
If you have children CX5
If don`t have children CX3
I have tools as children!
The CX-3 just has weird proportions.
That Yellow School Bus Dude diana
I’m guessing the price is a lot higher now
John cena after hepatitis c
which one would you recommend for a 20 year old girl?
It is interesting that the CX-5 offers manual while the CX-5 does not.
That makes a lot of sense.
Dream car CX-5 but what's the recall in CX-5's in Canada
"Coming up In my next video, I can get a fist....."
Jokes haha. Seriously thank you, this was great comparison video between the two vehicles
which is faster? cx3 2.0 or cx5 2.5
Like comparing my 98 Corolla to my cousin's 99 Camry. The Camry is better in every way, even in highway MPG's
Good job
Could you tell us the MSRP, Price As Tested, of both models you reviewed?
+UriahTheGreat There were both the top trim level. Are you doing research on either one of these? - Dave, Everyman Driver
What's fuel consumption on mazda cx3?
Lol
Is this the man doing the dirty job show in discovery channel?
Hiron Hipon no
A power tailgate would be nice..
Is it seriously that hard to close a hydraulically assisted hatch? Besides, this is a Mazda.
And memory seats.
3:30 why pause "fist betwen my"... :)
FYI, there is a CX 4 coming in 2016!
+Mike Smith Can't wait - Dave, Everyman Driver
So where is it Kreskin?
good good review
You're kidding right? Comparing the CX-3 with CX-5 is like comparing apples vs orange. They aren't in the same line of competition..
I would take the cx-5
CX-5 is the best!
Hahah, I want the CX-3 mostly cuz it's smaller
Comparing 2 vehicles in different classes is not the right thing to do, apples to apples is more helpful.
+pedrof830 This was fun and it sounds like many people are finding it helpful. It wasn't about 'apples to apples'. - Dave, Everyman Driver
+Everyman Driver Thanks Dave! This is very useful for those who like Mazda but can't decide which size to settle on
