I love that I have a cx50 and I’m a watch collector so yeah this video feels right at home for me.

My wife bought a 2024 Hyundai Tuscon in November because she loved the way it looked(I hate the way it looks) but then I bought my 2024 Cx-50 in February this year….she loves my car in almost every way more than the Hyundai, especially the way my CX-50 looks lol

Super useful. Sounds like either year would be good, but I would probably like the heavier steering as mazda3 owner. Looking forward to upgrading to a CX-50.

23 it is for me. Thanks!!!!

I just bought a 2024 CX-50 Turbo, and something to be aware of is that these updates were apparently only applied to cars manufactured after November 2023. Mine was manufactured in August 2023, so I’m assuming that mine will have the original steering and suspension configuration (it’s being delivered from out of state). Which was a little bit disappointing for me when I discovered it after I’d already made the purchase… I love a sporty vehicle, don’t get me wrong, but I’m concerned the ride quality will be a bit too rough for my liking on those 20-inch wheels and low-profile tires. The steering is less of a concern for me, I’ve had several Mazdas at this point and heavy steering is exactly what I expect and love about these cars.

I like the terra-cotta interior but I like the black interior with the soul red crystal exterior color which is what I have on my CX 50!😁

Nice watch!

I have the 2024 CX-50 TPP in terracotta with the softer shocks/retuned electric steering. The steering, braking, handling, shock tuning are all excellent. This is the 4th Mazda I have owned in my life and by far the best. My only gripe is unusually high road noise at highway speeds (ie - faster than posted limits I might add). Also, running 91/93 octane is what this turbo likes. I run 91 + some Lucas octane booster and it runs sweet.

I drove them back to back and could barely notice any difference. What I noticed most was the steering was lighter at lower (parking lot) speeds. 🤷‍♂️

The CX-50 already had lighter steering than the CX-5, so this doesn't seem like a move in the right direction (for me).

My 2023 TPP always starts up with key located in the front tray.

Like everything except for the instrument cluster; it looks a little too plain.

If a car is designed to do off-road or occasional off-road, the last thing you want is heavy steering. Lighter steering is better when you are trying to traverse rocky or uneven surfaces because steering feel less wobbly and jarring.

I found my CX30 turbo steering reflects what kinda terrain I am driving on. For light off roading on gravel/little mud the steering is much lighter. Same response in snow. It usually feels heavier on roads and parking lots.

I hate te trend toward light steering even for daily duity. Light steering makes lane drift a lot easier if you have one hand on the wheel and arent paying a ton of attention. With heavier steering you can relax a bit more.

Not true... go test drive the 2024 Honda Pilot.... excellent execution of light steering. On the highway, it tracks super straight with no steering corrections needed.

@@VG22. I admit I haven't driven one but most cars track straight with a decent alignment. It's more of a one hand on the wheel at 12 or 9 o'clock problem. Slight movements of the wheel are easy especially when you are pulling down on the wheel as you would at 12 o'clock or asymmetrically as at 3 or 9 o'clock. Ive gotten used to this but it still bothers me. In my experience the only way to semi relax with these light fast ratio eps systems is to hold the wheel at 9 and 3 which is propped but also not very relaxed. Additionally I don't find heavier steering to really be a downside in any respect. There isn't a car I've ever really driven that I thought was so high effort that it bothered me. The opposite isn't true.

@@ObtuseRubberGoose628 I agree... I get what youre saying. I do find putting the car in sports mode kinda help with that.. since the steering wheels in most cars become artificially heavy with sports mode engaged.

No one wants heavy steering on a family cuv. Mazda did the right thing by making the steering lighter.

@@TT92348 Miata is also technically a touring sports car and not a focussed track toy. Hence why the steering is light and precise... Meant to be enjoyed every day... I would hate to drive a car with heavy steering back home from a hard days of work. Miata is a best seller because of its overall perfection. They have nailed the every persons sports car since the late 80s. Now if mazda creates its own specialty line of performance only vehicles then those vehicles should get a fairly heavier steering feel. Mazdaspeed should come bacl

I'm getting the black interior but leaning toward the magnetic gray exterior although I don't see many of that color. Polymetal gray looks too blue.
