  • "Let's talk about some things I do not like about the CX90".. I thought you had been already! 😂
  • @rayoh2011
    This level of in-depth and honest review is not presented by most of the "expert reviewers" on YouTube! Thank you so much, Mr. Car Care Nut!
  • @user-nn7mb4ip4l
    My wife bought one,I drove it,I don't really see alot of the complaints you listed..I love it,just my opinion
  • @dmf109
    I’m confused by a lot of the comments from this guy. I have 15k miles on my TurboS. I never have any delays with anything. The start from iStop is flawless. The extra punch from the MHEV is great. And the car corners very well.
  • @MrDilbert111
    You’ll never get information like this from standard car reviews. I love it. Thank you!
  • When they said Mazda wanted to move in luxury segment and take on BMW they really meant it 😅
  • Test drove one two days ago. Nothing rattles, nothing shakes, it feels very slick and solid.
  • @JB_287
    Very refreshing to find your channel and see this type of review. After years of watching car reviews on YouTube, I have not found another channel that offers quite the insight/perspective that you do! Please keep the videos coming!
  • @ItsAlive111
    This type of information cannot be found elsewhere and is the reason I’m a subscriber of this channel. Because I like to own my cars for 10-15 years and like to DIY maintenance and repairs. Won’t be buying into a car that need to remove the engine for all the reasons mentioned here
  • @MistSoalar
    This review is so ASMR to me. He doesn't overexcite and keeps same tone to details no other car reviewer can ever do.
  • @Topnikko
    Having driven one all I can say is that it is a beautiful car in every way.
  • @alpha7ization
    I applaud Mazda bringing in an inline 6 with rear wheel drive dynamics on this vehicle
  • @Hawkdriver511
    Just learned of this channel and I love it. Thanks for the detailed review of the vehicles. All car owners should watch these videos prior to buying. Thank you!
  • @fuqua325
    So glad you produced this video, I was intrigued by the other YT vids talking about the amenities but none focused on the important topics like you did! Can you post a vid with your 2024 top 1-2 picks in each class of SUV?:washhands:

    I have a 2016 CX5 (2.5L non turbo), close to $100k problem free so far. Feels solid and I am sure will last many more miles. Was in the market for a 3row, the CX90 was in the top list until I saw this. I like that Mazda is stepping up to a more luxury feel but would prefer if they kept at least one engine option without all the complicated hardware and that is easy to maintain. One of the strong selling points of buying a Mazda over a BMW, other than price. Concentrate on that and wait until the market decides how is going to handle EVs for the masses, or have a separate team working exclusively on that. The infotainment is another area that could be improved. I was able to activate touch screen under all conditions on my model and then after an update it went back to being disabled during driving. This is a different path from all other manufacturers and something where Mazda could let the driver decide how to interact with it on their own. I would still consider a Mazda on the future, excited to see where they will go next.

    This is the only car review channel I make my final purchasing decision on. I can't wait for the new Lexus GX (2024) to come and and have you review it, I know it's going to be a while.
  • @mrpanama1977
    This is why I love watching your videos, because of your honesty & detail reviews about the vehicle you're reviewing. No one does it the way you do. Can you please do a in depth review on a Acura Rdx.
  • @buncha5651
    As a auto engineer I love this guys reviews extremely factual and informative. It's a shame that you can't buy one without the hybrid system.
  • @vsavatar
    I got the PHEV version of this last week, and it's awesome. The all electric range is just right for me. The inline six looks good, but I wanted the better gas mileage.
