Can the CX-5 Really Compete with RAV4s and CRVs?? - 2025 Mazda CX-5 Turbo Signature Review

[@wackit6756]

Hmm. I guess I’m becoming jaded because 22mpg's nowadays seems like acceptable mileage from 5 years ago. When you factor in that a Hybrid gives much better power and gas mileage and less emissions, it seems like this could use an update.

This mazda design with the toyota hybrid would be badass!

You can use the touch screen while driving if using Android auto or Apple carplay. You have to go into the settings and enable it. We have a 2024 CX-5 turbo premium in machine gray metallic with the black wheels and black interior. It has heated and ventilated seats. I prefer a heavy steering wheel. We traded in a 2022 CX-9 turbo carbon edition in poly metal gray

Big Toyota fan here, but ended up buying my daughter a CPO CX-5. It is such a a great car, very enjoyable to drive and has Toyota reliability. Wish Mazda had a larger rear wheel drive coupe, like a grand tourer. I would buy one in a heartbeat! Or a pickup truck. I got used to the infotainment controls quickly, actually prefer it to a touchscreen.

You should be able to use the touchscreen in Apple CarPlay while driving if it is enabled

The CX5 Signature comes with ventilated seats. The button is right below the heated seat button. Not sure how you missed that. I can see it in the video as you were clicking on the heated seat button. The touchscreen is operable when driving…it’s a setting within the infotainment.

Yes, it has heated seats and ventilated seats!

Mazda beefs up transmission and torque converter ...I've seen them taken apart , they are bigger and stronger ...if you drive and don't beat on the turbo it will last for ever .....if you pair your phone to the car it is a touch screen in motion if you scroll the menu , it has it in the menu .

Dude, you're clueless about the CX-5. I have a 2027 turbo and a 2017 na. No such steering problems. "Darty?" Give me a break.
