(boom01) Did you watch the video at all? Or did you at least read the title of the video? It's referring to new 2017 CX-5!It's referring to the 16.5's.Here is an interesting video from Australia xtrailman posted in another thread:

I don't like this reviewer. What you can say in 2 minutes he takes 20. Read his responses- he literally gets dirty while responding. All he is saying is don't pay for 2016.5 wait for 17s craze to die down something something.And you wonder why people (me) say you are negative? Did you actually listen to it?

This video was originally posted by another member in another thread. Since this thread is for all reviews for 2017 CX-5, and I repost it here. I want to know why an Australian auto critic would against buying the number one selling CUV in his country. I thought people here are saying Mazda is reading this forum and we want Mazda to know its weak points, not just full of praise here! Yes this guy said some conventional wisdom about not buying a CX-5 right now and wait for new model and compare, but he did point out some weaknesses on CX-5 too.And you wonder why people (me) say you are negative? Did you actually listen to it?

So if you feel this Australia video is not negative, why you say I'm just re-posting any negative thread? (uhm)Its a 20 min video - he is not saying the car has faults etc. I have watched it. All he is saying is wait for new model or buy at appropriate time etc. I dont think he compares it to non Mazda cars in that video - just says dont sway with design language etc. - which is not a negative. I think at this point you are just re-posting any negative thread - atleast view the video to see.

When I re-post the video, I said this's an interesting video. Since CX-5 is the no. 1 selling CUV in Australia and I was wondering why this guy was saying the opposite? The video turned out not to be an interesting review but I believe you simply jumped into conclusion before you even watched it and accused me posting nagative comment! You have personal agenda against me and keep accusing me posting negative comments, but you failed to recognize I've been contributing to forum members who have questions and problems, so as writing How-To writeups. I even answer questions via PM from some forum members who don't want posting questions publicly here. I also have been recommending friends and family purchasing CX-5's for the last 4 years and so far 6 of them bought CX-5 under my recommendation. Troll? don't think so!You are the definition of a troll. Your post was to share what you believed was a negative review of the new CX-5. Instead, it is the opposite of that. Your post is negative, not the video. The video host is trolling for hits, as that is his job.
Being critical and being negative are not the same thing. I don't find your posts to be critical in any way.
It's not just me saying Mazda came to this forum ⋯⋯ Do you seriously think Mazda is going to come to this forum to view this YouTube video which is not even a review per se. You're just being a negative Nancy again.
I knew it. They do read our forums.In the recent 2017 CX-5 Press briefing, (over 1 hr youtube video perfect for mazdanuts or nerds like me), I LOVED the slide that showed the screenshots from mazda forums like this, showing critical complaints or issues the folks like us have. That is why I prodded for your well given explanation.
Seems like Mazda read our forums and covered a lot of bases and then some.
Major Forum complaints:
Quieter Cabin (class leader now)
Additional Engine option (may have the best lineup now)
Thicker windshield
Throttle response
Minor Forum complaints:
No stock woofer
Power Liftgate
CarPlay (TBD)
Others:
Headlights (LEDs now stock)
Road Handling (suspension tuned to 2013 specs + G Vectoring Control)
Safety (more high tensile steel used in frame)
i-active has been improved
Recline rear seats
Full-color heads-up display (HUD) which changes height position
We still don't know who is right as Mazda hasn't formally announce the MSRP. My assumption is based on at no time Mazda has priced under $1,000 for any optional packages! $780 for Touring Preferred Equipment Package and $625 for Touring i-ActivSense Package? Even Grand Touring Premium Package for 2017 costs us $1,830 and 2016.5 GT i-ActivSense costs us $1,500!By the way, it appears Christmas does come in March for you as several reviews of the new CX-5 reiterated the price for the Touring preferred and i-activesense package which you must say is great value. I don't think Mazda would not correct a mistake by not adding $1000 on top of the price of those packages as you wrongly guessed and assumed as to mislead the public.
This is either wrong or the best package value for $ I've ever seen on any car:
A $780 Preferred Equipment package brings an auto-dimming rearview mirror, automatic headlights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a 10-speaker Bose audio system, navigation, a power sunroof, and a power liftgate.
It's not just me saying Mazda came to this forum ⋯

And again it's not just me either:
I agree with yrwei. He is not a troll. Maybe has buyers remorse or holds MazdaNA to high standards.
My 16.5 has absolutely normal j-hook wiper arms, and easy-to-replace wiper blade inserts...

I knew it. They do read our forums.
