Tell me about Mazda.

In the SUV market, the competition of compact models is the fiercest at present. Joint venture brands include RAV4, CR-V, Tan Yue and Qi Jun. Domestic cars include Changan CS75Plus, Geely Job and Great Wall H6. They are all heavy models with monthly sales of over 10,000. Each of these cars is a good car and has its own advantages and characteristics. Although I am more optimistic about domestic cars, some riders prefer joint venture cars.

Although I don't have the latest data, Mazda CX-5 ranked second in the recommendation of joint venture compact SUV in the comments collected by car critics last year.

This car has three advantages:

The first is the design advantage. Since Mazda introduced the concept of soul design, its appearance has also changed obviously. This concept is a good combination of urbanization, fashion, youth movement, future technology and other elements. The design concept is based on youth movement, which not only accurately captures the mainstream automobile consumers, but also conforms to Mazda's sports performance, so Mazda's design and performance complement each other, so the design of Mazda CX-5 is enough to attract a lot of attention. For example, a player like me, who only looks at performance but not appearance, can't help watching Mazda CX-5 every time, let alone little fans and brothers.

The second is the control advantage. Since its birth, Mazda has put on a posture of building a car with a dead end, and it is more appropriate to describe it behind closed doors. Even today, Mazda's attitude towards the demand of the big market is still indifferent, but the car it makes is really good, which is the kind that many serious car lovers want. As a compact SUV, Mazda CX-5 has always been at the forefront of today's automobile industry in terms of engine, gearbox, chassis adjustment, matching, running-in, etc., so there are really not many cars that have the same performance as cars and even surpass Mazda CX-5 in handling at the same price.

The third is quality performance. Although Artz and CX-4 have been complained a lot recently because of abnormal noise, the reliability and stability of Mazda CX-5 have always been good. Although there have been failures of flameout during driving before, they are all solved by manufacturers and cannot be regarded as universal failures. The fuel consumption of Mazda CX 5 is at an average level. Some riders can report lower fuel consumption, and some owners have amazing fuel consumption, which is related to personal driving habits, so some people think this car is economical and fuel-efficient. Some people think that it is an oil tiger, and there is no way to say it across the board.

The shortcomings of this car also have three aspects:

First, the space inside the car is small. Mazda's concept of pursuing sports and manipulation must be based on the premise of sacrificing space, which is also an important reason for restricting Mazda's sales. In my opinion, the space of Mazda CX-5 is lower than the average level of compact SUV, and this below-average performance also appears on other models.

Second, the power of Mazda self-priming engine is a short board. Although the smoothness of the engine power output and the matching with the gearbox are impeccable, its own strength is weak and cannot be ignored. This car really smells like BMW at low speed, and it is stable and solid enough at high speed, but the acceleration process is difficult to satisfy.

Third, there is a lot of noise. Mazda's chassis itself has adopted a sports set-up, even on the flat road, there are obvious ups and downs and bumps. This is actually its characteristic rather than its disadvantage, but the disadvantage is that the tire is noisy. In addition, Mazda's workmanship is really not as exquisite as other Japanese cars. This may be because in the Ford era, it inherited the assembly concept of early American cars, which also reduced its sound insulation to some extent. Therefore, while enjoying Mazda's handling, it is necessary to endure its tire noise and wind noise.

To sum up, the so-called good car or bad car is judged by the mechanical structure, assembly technology, technical characteristics and driving experience. What is important between advantages and disadvantages is whether the advantages are superior to the same level and whether the disadvantages will affect the performance. In terms of family applicability, only simple opinions will be put forward, such as space size and configuration. Take Mazda CX-5 as an example. If you really like driving, then this car does have unparalleled performance in its class, but if you have to take care of your family, then its space is hard. In fact, the first purpose of buying a compact SUV is to make the whole family travel comfortably and conveniently, so Mazda CX-5 is good, but the sales volume is really hard to compliment.
