For anyone considering a RAV4, it might be worth it for you to wait for the recently announced 2023. It includes an updated infotainment and dash screen. A big win is wireless Apple CarPlay. Additionally a Woodlands edition (hybrid) will include AT tires and TRD tuned suspension.

The RAV4’s interior was more spacious, seats were great and the interior usability was fantastic. But the comparison ends there, it was noisy and drove like a 1981 Ford pickup.

Thank you for the video, great comparison again ... a difficult choice ! Mazda is the better looking vehicle yet requires more fuel with its 6 speed transmission. Toyota Rav4, jeep-like square front end and a bit noisier because of the ''smart'' engine using both direct injection and port injection, to keep the valves clean. On the other hand, a possible better engine in the course of time , using less fuel. Since Mazda had already the CX-5, a CX-50 ''Hybrid option'' , this year, would have been wise, putting them in a better position to compete, however, I understand that Mazda is a smaller car company and patience is required.

It doesn't have any affect when on smooth roads but on rougher dirt roads and washboards, the wheel can bounce enough to loose contact with the dirt. This can be disconcerting at higher speeds going around a curve. Independent rear suspension is lighter weight so it can be easier to control this bounce without adding any harshness to the ride. The main advantage of the torsion beam is( like he said) cost cutting. Honda tried it in the Civic and abandoned it, now you see it on lower version of some compact and sub compact cars. It also help in packaging and was popular in mini vans for a wider lower load floor. Not something I would expect in an expensive vehicle.

We don't have a problem with a simpler suspension (especially for non-enthusiast cars) we have a problem when we don't feel the savings are being passed onto the consumer. And there in lies the rub. Mazda CAN'T claim to be premium when they dumb down the car. They use the "3" platform to spin off a CX-50, a vehicle which is effectively on an inferior platform to the CX-5. But we called it the "50" so it's gotta be better, right? At least VW didn't try to charge more for the Atlas over the Touareg.

I would prefer the CX-50, as I have a 2015 Mazda 3 2.0 with 187,000 on it, & it keeps on moving, as a testament to reliability of Mazda products. Just saying.

CX-50 > RAV4

You can't win with a : RAV 4 (Prime excluded): Nice interior, generous space but Weak engine with no turbo option. CX-50 : fast turbo available, but hard short seats and stiff suspension. Not for those seeking a comfy ride. CRV : CVT with tiny whiney turbo engine. But nice interior and generous interior space. Best option ? : Jeep Cherokee : unreliable transmission, with powerful V6, comfy seats, reliable Uconnect. Loaded with nice features but Spartan looking interior. Decisons..decisions..

Lol..who wants to sleep on top of car mazda.

Won’t consider any Mazda till they move away from 6 speed transmission to 8-10 speed

Mazda seems like it's always 5 years behind. Do they still rust away after 15 years? You would be hard pressed to find a spot of rust on a Toyota after 15 years.

BS. The last decade Mazdas have been just as reliable as Toyotas. And they always had a far superior interior. 5 years behind??? Okay....

Didn’t the Tacoma have rust issues at one point?

Normally I'm a Mazda fan but I think this Mazda just looks so hideous especially with those side rear vents so I'm with Toyota on this 1

I'm beginning to think it's not a good idea to purchase a new internal combustion vehicle....like it or not it seems we are in a transitional period and it looks as if at least in the western world gas cars won't be with us much longer....I like mazda and am thinking I will wait until they have an EV.

You need NOT continue to tell us about the difference in pronunciation between Canadian and U.S.. The Canadian pronunciation is dumb AF. Really enjoy your videos though!! 🙂
