In a previous post, which was a review of the CX-90, I mentioned how the reviewer was able to corner at high speed without corrections on the steering wheel. The CX-90 just basically took the corner, and well, it cornered without needing too many steering wheel corrections from the driver. The Engineering Interview section in this video, explains exactly how and why the CX-90 drives that way. It's actually the most important part of this video in my opinion. You get to see what the Mazda philosophy is when it comes to building cars.
One thing I realized after watching all the engineering interviews, is that the reason why Mazda cannot grow their market share, is because they are not willing to compromise their driving philosophy and principles for the general population. They want to build cars that drive like a Mazda. If you don't like how their cars drive, then so be it. And that insistence on sticking with their way of building and tuning cars, is what keeps Mazda fans like me coming back for more. On the flip side, this is also what stops most of the general public from buying a Mazda.
Lastly, the powertrain and transmission issues mentioned in this video are not new to me. I've seen it mentioned in other reviews. My opinion is that you should probably skip the first and second year models until they sort out all of those issues. This after all is all new for Mazda; brand new inline six engine, brand new 8-speed transmission and brand new rear-wheel drive based architecture. They just need more time to sort out all of those issues. This is a car that will get better and better as the years go by. If I'm shopping for a 3-row SUV, this is still at the top of my list.
I'm sold on this car! Great review from Joe. Now to find me some $60K laying around somewhere... no, but seriously, this is a gorgeous new 3-row SUV from Mazda that looks great and seems to drive great too. Look at when he corners the CX-90 at speed, he barely moves the steering wheel (most likely because of Mazda's GVC tech). This looks like a fantastic road trip car. Need to save up for this.
Excellent review of the Mazda 3 Turbo hatchback. That drive through the canyons looked like a lot of fun. This guy put the car through its paces unlike so many other reviews on YouTube.
Interesting video. I didn't know there were videos like this on YouTube. Makes me miss flying and going through airports. I've been to the DFW airport a couple of times, but I've never been to all the places shown in this video. Didn't even get to ride the Skylink. That seemed like a fun ride with a great view of the planes.
This is amazing! If I got this right, the footage in the trailer is from a game called DCS. It's actually a trailer for a new multiplayer campaign in DCS, but the campaign is set in the Ace Combat universe (another awesome video game). Those shots are amazing. They made it look like a real movie trailer.
Excellent review of the 2023 Hyundai Elantra N. In a previous post, I mentioned that I would take the new GTI over the Elantra N. However, after watching this review, I am now leaning more toward the Elantra N.
An epic cover of the original. Actually, cover is the wrong word for this. Like the title says, reimagined is more like it. I didn't realize how dark the lyrics were to Papa Roach's “Last Resort”. When I listened to it back in the early 2000s, I just thought it was an awesome sounding rock song. But man those lyrics are deep, and this reimagined version of the song really puts it out front and center.
And lastly, I love how Ronnie from Falling In Reverse keeps growing and pushes his music to new levels. This is a masterpiece.
