Those who continually tout Mazda vs. Toyota resale value, I believe will slowly shift in favor of Mazda. Today, Mazda is on a role while Toyota-Lexus quality continues to slip and people are noticing this so much that 2021 - 2024 Mazda sales figures have skyrocketed which I betting are previous Toyota buyers noticing Mazda more and switching brand. As a long time Toyota fan myself I see it plain as day. Also, with Toyota and Mazda collaborations increasing, the lines begin to blur between the two. Maybe soon Mazda will be perceived as middle tier right slotted between Toyota and Lexus.
Ben, it would be cool if you renamed the channel “Ben, Again”. It’s kind of a thing that you repeat the same phrase two times a lot e.g. “Plenty of power. Plenty of power”. People do impressions of Ed Sullivan “really big show, really big show” and you remind me of that.
The new Lexus? Lol. If Lexus hadn’t turned to shit in 2023 I would say “no”. However, with all the troubles that Toyota and Lexus are being plagued with on these new powertrains…. I would consider North American brands over them. Sad to see what Lexus and Toyota have become.
@Onnitfan1 good:) I feel better. Ya know, Dad had an 89 B2200 manual long box with the sideways (rear) death seats. She took us all across Canada, no probs. I brought my kids across her too, in a Mazda six❤️ 2017 was a good year to buy in. Hope it's still as good.
I thought it was a airodinamic to drop the hoods of the.cars of 10 years ago....???? Now they are up high so you can see them !!!😅 !!! MUCH MUCH BETTER!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE THAT....😮😅😊😊
Wishing for this inline-6 to be used in CX-5 reveals fundamental misunderstanding of FWD and RWD car’s architecture. You cannot just swap an inline 6 in a FWD car like CX-5, it won’t fit unless you reengineer the platform. @Ben Hardy, please do better research next time before saying stuff like this
@@nateisright also notice that that is moving an engine from one RWD layout car to another RWD car. Also the swap by Flying Miata costed upward of 60k$, plus the cost of crate engine…
Well that will change with time. Plus low mileage CX-5 Signature models from 2024 are still in the $30k range depending on their mileage which isn't far off from the price of a Signature trim brand new in South FL based on the prices I'm seeing for that trim near me
Ben looks like he’s going to go from this review to go work on his off the grid house made from hemp.
LOL
The new CX70/90 are like reliable Japanese Bmws 👍🏻
saludos! maravillosa máquina! Muy duradera;! impresionante belleza;! ok 👍 saludos!

Beautiful car love the color love the interior Mazda built a insane suv
But not as boring of a drive
Nah Mazda is Mazda and that’s ok they’re great … love all Japanese brands

I WANT MAZDA TO MAKE A TRUCK! CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME!!!???
I hear you ! And soon the whole world will hear you!

Mazda need to start make better stronger paint not cheap one
Which trim level is that.

Mazda > Honda and Acura

I recommend watching Motoman YT channel’s interviews with David Coleman to understand and appreciate the effort behind R&D of CX-90
*notices LS1 swapped MX5s* In America, we have a Can-Do attitude.

@@David_Journey I’m glad you’re starting to come around to the idea. 😉
@@nateisright RWD to FWD swaps are extremely rare, and that is due to the lack of space for packaging under the hood.
This package is missing some things since the wheel arches aren’t body colored.
For a reason...
@@troyprudhomme8222 yeah…to lessen the pricing.. the one shown is without several options.
U can get the cx70, same car without the third row
Gee no kidding…….
you're welcome

No it doesn't require it. It's recommended but not required depending on the version of this engine that you get
Turbo S and up requires
Couldn’t be far from the truth. Lexus is still killing it.
Sales wise but they are bland asf. #BlandLuxury
Today only empty people buying lexus and toyota and paying for batch only nothing else.
This or a Lexus TX?
This
TX is for empty people
I'd use it as a bathroom! 💩
You find out if Mazda is the new Lexus when you go to sell your used Mazda in a few years, and the resale value is nowhere near the Lexus.
Well that will change with time. Plus low mileage CX-5 Signature models from 2024 are still in the $30k range depending on their mileage which isn't far off from the price of a Signature trim brand new in South FL based on the prices I'm seeing for that trim near me
I have a humble Six that is 8 years old! And it still fetches 15000 bucks!
Well they start out $15-$20k cheaper…
Only m0r0ns buying car to resell them after a few years. They only work for cars' whole life.
