Mine was cancelled because I change my own oil and didn’t save receipts.

He basically said everything I subconsciously knew was true. Never even considered an aftermarket warranty.

fluid change my CVT every 10,000 miles is what kept me trouble free. over 120k miles on my 2018 Altima

Mazda's current partnership with Toyota, instead of Ford, explains the increase in the quality of their cars.

Please make a video about the differences between CVTs and E-CVTs. I feel like the E-CVTs get lumped in with CVTs when they're (at least on paper) much better and less likely to fail.

Just got rid of my 2019 Honda HRV after having the 60000 mile transmission fluid change. I was at 61000 miles and was hearing a strong noise that would happen when accelerating from a stop. I took it back to the dealership that did the 60000 mile work to find out if I was crazy, and after they were done checking it out I was told that the transmission could be going out I was not happy to hear that at 61000 miles my transmission could be going out and to find out that the replacement would be between $7000-$10000. I now have a 2024 Toyota grand highlander hybrid with an E-cvt which is not even related to a cvt never again!

So basically, if you're going to recommend a brand, you don't have to change the classic recommendation of Honda/Toyota/Mazda.

im a 72 year old retired auto tech and shop owner and went to buy a new rav 4 and came home with a new mazda cx-5 . my wife wanted that red and the dealer did not try to sell me any add on crap. the toyota dealer had changed hands and they are from chicago and they put 4000 of stuff that i had told not to try.so far the mazda is great and the engine does not stop at a stop light. i thought how bad can it be?

Best car brand for me I'm a huge Mazda fan I had 5 Mazdas already, and still have Mazda Luce from 79 and 3gen Mazda 3 hatch

I have been in the business for 25 yrs and even spent a short time with Marshfield and I agree with you 100. I quit cs when I learned the truth about thier practices

Uncomfortable conversations with customers can be avoided when they are prepared ahead of time what the outcomes can be. If you tell a customer ahead of time they will have to pay the shop rate for tear down if THEIR warranty company denies coverage then it isn’t an awkward conversation.

Instead of paying for a almost useless warranty, I would say that the consumer should just put that money into a high interest savings account. TYhat way when you car needs repairs, you will have the money to pay for it.

Is there anything like an 'extended factory warrantee', or is that a marketing trick?

I like your videos. However, I can not agree with you on how Mazda is a better vehicle than Honda or Toyota. You have to compare brand vs. brand and year vs. year. For example, if you take a 2019 Mazda 3 and compare it to a 2019 Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla over 5 years of ownership and include oil changes, etc., and basic maintenance, then it would be a fair comparison. With all said, we have a 2019 Mazda 3 a 2023 Corolla, and a 2024 Civic Touring. The NON-CVT aspect is great, but still, they must be maintained. The Mazda is going in for a drain/fill on the transmission and while I would like to do it myself, the cost of doing it is so reasonable that I decided not to touch it. The first one is around 50,000 miles. Then moving forward, I will have it drained every 25,000 miles. Oil changes are every 6 months or around 6,000 miles. Honestly, Mazda's may be more reliable as I just purchased a 5-year/60,000 mile used MAZDA OEM Warranty from Werner Mazda. Ask for Katelyn Hansen as she is in that department. I will not get into the price, but it was well worth the money. The price was 60% of the warranty companies that advertise online and it is an OEM Warranty, no aftermarket, so no haggling on labor costs, etc. Regarding CVTs, I think Honda's CVT has it down to a science. But the real test is 10-15 years from now. I doubt the oldest will keep the Mazda past the next 5 years, but the Corolla and Civic should be here for 10-15 years. I have met drivers with 200,000 miles on their CVTs. The key is to change the fluid (drain/fill) every 30,000 miles on the CVT. Regular transmissions can be done at 60,000 and then every 25,000-30,000 afterward.

I drive Toyota since 2006 but I'd buy a Honda. I have a tiny Aygo that has done 104 000 miles. Just bought a 23 Corolla.

Mechanical insurance requires started to pick up speed in the late 80s.It's ALWAYS been a scam!! If you live anywhere near this shop , you would be stupid not to take your car there...... This is the poster child of an honest mechanic👍

Will a Nissan dealership go through all the steps you mention in changing the CVT fluid?

Would you say the 2023-24 model 1.5 turbo engine has improved at all over the previous few years?

Yes.

I have owned 3 Toyotas, 3 Hondas, 1 GM, 1 Ford, 4 MBZ, 2 BMW, 1 Tesla and 1 Mazda. Guess which car I own for the longest and guess which gave me the least trouble? the 2008 Mazda CX-9.

Some of that isn't true actually. I have an extended warranty that I purchased through the dealer I bought my used car at and mine covers diag fees, labor and parts. I only pay 100 dollar deductible each claim. If they find more wrong in the same diag I only pay 100 one time each time I used it

Have a 2016 accord sport with a CVT, it has 128,000 miles and the cvt runs great, no issues at all. I change the cvt oil every 30,000 miles.

Really cool video, the people appreciate it

Maxda engines are not good, thus is a reflection of personal experience of CX5 diesel engine. I tried both Toyota and Honda, the are miles better.

Thanks for the Input!Great 😊

If you have an extended warranty it is harder than hell to find a company or a mechanic who will put in claims for you they just don't want to be bothered

WARRANTY COMPANIES JUST GOT A HUGE FINE..

How old was this evaluation ? Did order a 2024 Rav4 LXE Primium but cancel after test driving 2022 Mazda CX 5, unlike the Rav4 loud as hell with it's Port injection ignition and super complicated electronics ! Naturally inspired 4 is as smooth and quiet then any 4 I've driven ! Further inclined to the CX5 after a 2 weeks rental for fix a windshield replacement leak !

For the viewer: "Parts Costs" are NOT actually the cost of parts obtained by repair shops. Those costs are either marked UP by the shop OR listed on invoices as the FULL cost of the part, which are then discounted for the repair shop; as they would get wholesale cost.

Good informative video. Thank you for taking your time to make it. God bless you.

Great video , I'm a Mazda owner for 2 time my first brand new car was the 2002 protege this car lasted about 10 years free of problems I put out about 280.000 miles then I purchased 2010 speed 3 brand new I currently still driving this car with 250.000 miles again free of issues I can tell MAZDA's are very reliable.

Toyota and honda has more cars out there

I glad Car Shield got sued for 10 million dollars...now its time for Car Shield to return all the money to the consumers

Frequency of repair would be important to know. We own Toyotas and I would gladly pay more for parts and overall repair cost if the Toyota is in the shop less frequently.

Toyota ❤

My first CVT. Love the car, hate the transmission.

Both are suffering reliability issues. As you have stated, Gov't is forcing these issues vis MPG and emissions req'ts. Single word. TURBOCHARGERS. The allow for better A/F control as you are now regulating air as well as fuel. But, they add heat. Turbos on gas engines add lots of heat. I bought my mom's 2017 CRV based on Honda's past reputation. I change the oil much more often than recommended and am now trying 0-30 oil.

Like the movie Erin Brokovich, the insurance companies are in the business of "deny all claims!"

Man great video!

I was a service advisor that dealt with warranty companies. My heart sank when I heard the customer say " I'm not paying anything". 😊 Response - minimum 1 hour and there's the door. Respect your techs.. 💯

Although I'm very fond of CVT's, at least if it's not JATCO rubbish, I must say I'm only fond of it when used in a small car with a small engine just because it's less demanding of a CVT. Putting it in heavier and more powerful cars doesn't sound like something smart to do (unless it's the planetary gear type like Toyota uses). Most people also don't know how to drive a CVT. They tend to floor it like they would do with a traditional automatic while you just need to learn and feel when you are in the most ideal RPM region that will deliver the best power and torque to get you going. Of course it's also the car manufacturer that has to select or conceive the correct CVT according to the characteristics of the engine and not be lazy and just take an off the shelf unit that could fit the bill (yes you Nissan and Subaru).

Aftermarket warranties are a ripoff! There is a reason that finance managers push them so hard when you're buying a car. They are pure profit. Maybe one in 50 people get their money's worth.

Yes. Horrible. Not worth the money.

Try to get a transmission for a mazda cx-5. Next to impossible. Paid over 300 dollars for a thermostat of which they call a water cooler unit. So cant get a tranny. Need to replace car if tranny goes out before one is available.

You should skip the captions. They are distracting.

These warranties are written by attorneys. They won’t cover you if you have a problem. There are numerous outs and limits and caveats. Put the money in a bank account. You probably will never have a major repair

My Crosstrek wilderness has a transmission cooler and lower final drive ratio. Surely it is the strongest CVT... Yes, I realize best CVT is kind of like winning the special Olympics but hey, all Olympics are special.

PIty that the country I'm in has such a small car market we cannot afford to get the better powered vehicles because the cost of import is so big - given the 40% guavament tax to "protect" the existing car assembly plants in the country.

I assume this does not apply to the hybrid e-"cvt" because it is NOT a traditional CVT but really a misnomer. Probably still needs oil though.

The reason they don't get back to you for three days is because they are SPAMMING my phone twenty times a day.
