2019 Mazda CX-5 Signature Turbo Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh When I reviewed the 2017 Mazda CX-5, I wished for a more powerful engine option. For 2019, this has been provided, at least in the top two trim levels, via the same 250-horsepower (227-horsepower on regular gas) turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine as in the CX-9 and in the top-trim Mazda6....

2017 Mazda CX-5 Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Why not buy the new Mazda CX-5? There aren't many good reasons. The most obvious: if you want effortless or adrenaline-inducing acceleration in your compact crossover, Mazda doesn't offer it. While Chevrolet, Ford, and Kia offer turbocharged 2.0-liter engines with from 235 to 252 horsepower, Mazda does not.... Comparison vehicle: 2017 Honda CR-V |

2016 Volkswagen Golf SportsWagen Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh If you think "rocket" when you hear "turbo," the 170-horsepower 1.8-liter engine in the Volkswagen Golf SportWagen might disappoint you. The powertrain seems tuned for fuel economy, with boost coming on very smoothly (no kick or rush), the throttle reluctant to speed things up, and the six-speed automatic transmission preferring...

2016 Hyundai Tucson Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Both available engines accelerate the new Hyundai Tucson more than adequately but well short of thrillingly. You can get far more powerful engines in the Ford Escape, Kia Sportage (that sibling rivalry), Subaru Forester, and Volkswagen Tiguan. Between the two Hyundai engines, the turbo 1.6-liter doesn't produce much more... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Mazda CX-5 |

Glad I did some research on the Mazda. 2015 Mazda CX-5 Pros and Cons Member536 The powertrain in the CX-5 offers very crisp performance, and, excellent fuel economy as well. I've put 1000 miles on the car so far and its perfomance reminds me of the 2.5 liter Jaguar X-Type I used to own. The Mazda engine has very good mid-range torque, and, the 6... |

Great package for a small SUV. 2014 Mazda CX-5 Pros and Cons Member177 WHile it obviously doesn;t compare with the VW CC Turbo 4 that I had been driving, performance is also at the top of the group I noted. There is a click spot on the gas pedal, however, that keep performance down a bit unless you mash the gas pedal. One... |

Great driving SUV in Salt Lake City 2013 Mazda CX-5 Pros and Cons Member5782 I purchased this CX5 new in Jan 2013, I now have over 5,000 miles and have no problems. I just love the way this car drives. It replaced a volvo Cross country with 205,000 miles. Plenty of power with the 2.0 engine and 6 speed... |

2013 Honda CR-V EX-L Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Through the years the CR-V has enjoyed a number of power bumps. The only engine offered, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, can provide up to 185 horsepower. But this peak power arrives at an ultra-high 7,000 rpm. The engine's peak torque (163 pound-feet at 4,300 rpm) is less impressive. Honda's latest 2.4-liter... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Mazda CX-5 |

2013 Mazda CX-5 Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh My evaluation of the CX-5's handling was likely colored by the performance (or lack thereof) of its powertrain. Mazda's new six-speed automatic does its job well, but simply can't compensate for the 155-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine's grunt deficit. Acceleration is merely adequate. Ford, Kia, and Volkswagen offer turbocharged 2.0-liter fours... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Escape |
