2024 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo Signature 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Purchase a 2024 Mazda CX-5 Sig Turbo about 1 month ago. After thoroughly driven the Mazda, I have to say the drive is spectacular. The comfort and safety technology are on point. Love the heated seats, vented seats, blind spot mirror, rain sensing wipers, auto headlight turning adjustment, and bose speakers. Everything else that it offers other cars probably have it. If you're in for a reliable drive, then I would definitely recommend it. However, I think after driving it for a month, I already feel that it lack conveniences and I would've just purchase a different car. I get it, nothing is perfect! So here's the gripes of the car. The side mirror color; why silver? Paid for signature turbo so we don't get that plastic cladding but the side mirror has to be silver different from the whole car? If you're going to make it perfect, then at least match the color of the car. The climate control seems to need some calibration, 66 degrees in the winter to blow cooler air or else the car just stays hot! The android play and carplay seems to have a bit of lag when loading and selecting different apps, it's not unbearable, but when you're driving, every second counts. The side view mirrors have no built in heat to clear fogs! The car does not have remote start except for the Mazda app which is not free after 3 years; it takes 1 whole minute for the car to start later. I think for a premium price car, it lacks luxury items that a 2011 Equinox(my last baby) had without even asking for.

The warning speed beep is too loud, that it may also cause a little panic to the other passengers in the car. The volume is annoying and the worst is, according to a staff I have inquired, it can't be adjusted. Other car brands, they do have the same feature but only a low volume, good enough that the driver can hear.

Just purchased the CX-5 two days ago and I'm regretting it. The car handles nicely and may have some luxury details to it, but basically to hide the very basic nature of the car. It doesn't feel like a solid engine or ride. I feel like I'm driving a teapot. But that's the same as I have felt in other of these mid-size SUVs. So maybe that is what you can expect from these. The cabin layout feels like a toy car. And you feel kind of cramped in the seat, which is also hard and bumpy. I bought it because you do feel sitting upright which I like due to lower back issues. But that's about it. My legs feel trapped on the elevated sides which press against them. It's just not a comfortable ride. They added the touchscreen ability for Carplay, but it's too far away making it difficult to handle. It's weird because it's not luxury, comfort, or sport. It's just a mix that has no identity. And to top it off is not fuel efficient. I don't understand the great reviews for this car.
