    My guy the dial is amazing. I have been using it for years. Blind fold me and ask me to get to a menu and i can do it with the feel of the dial. Cant do that with a touchscreen. Your eyes have to see where your tapping. The dial is tactile its like using a tv remote. You dont look at your tv remote when you use it because you know exactly where the buttons are. Now if your tv remote was a touch screen youd always look at it to see what youre touching.

    Well. As someone who owns one of these, I have to disagree with you. The suspension is the only thing that I have the same opinion about. It could be much better. The dial-shift is fantastic and a great idea for safety reasons. My friend, touching a screen while we are driving is not the best thing to operate the systems (BMW was the first brand to use this method). The transmission is fine with my unit, so I'm very pleased with it.

    I own one for 4 months now, drove 11k km already, it is a good car. Not perfect, but perfect for me :) Suspension is a bit stiff, but I don't mind - it must be so for a reason. Transmission shifts well, the engine is amazing (main reason for my choice), I just love the simplicity of the interior (mine is all black) and the exterior design. I wouldn't change a thing and I appreciate Mazda for the work they put in this model.

The transmission is so smooth, absolutely nothing abnormal noted so far. The car is very comfortable and the engine noise is just amazing!

    I can't disagree with you more about the rotary infotainment controller. I have a Kia Stinger that is only touchscreen and my wife has another Mazda with a similar controller. I love my Stinger but I hate using the touchscreen whilst on the move. It's dangerous and annoying.
    I'm actually super surprised that government legislation doesn't make this mandatory and illegal to be able to use touchscreen whilst driving. You can't use your phone but you're supposed to touch a screen whilst at speed, adjusting everything from radio volume to navigation to AC to heated seats and everything else.
    As far as the design, interior and exterior, you're bang on. For a brand new model, it looks like a bigger CX5. Absolutely generic looking not even differentiating it from their own models. Gosh, when Kia revised the same Stinger model, there were significant changes inside and out. Mazda just copied their old models.

    As an owner of the CX-60 PHEV (coming to 1 year soon) - the only issue I have with the vehicle is the comfort when going over bad roads/speed bumps.
    For example, I feel like I have to come to a crawl on speed bumps (not just for myself but for my passengers). Like 10km/h crawl. Compared to other cars I have driven which feel like I glide over speed bumps.
    It has gotten a lot better since Mazda released their comfort pack (there was an optional recall that was available for users that bought the car Pre September). But the issues still persist. Transmission issues for me have been resolved as well. I did have some lurchness when shifting in the low gears, and when it was switching from Petrol to EV but that's all gone now.
    I wish Mazda could have done more to improve that comfort but they haven't.
    For the price it's a great car, but you have to really decide is the looks and performance (it drives really nice and is a lot of fun) worth these comfort issues. I believe the Petrol/Diesel versions are probably a lot more comfortable now and might be great choices!

If my suspension is not addressed this is my show stopper and I will sell my Mazda and buy another brand. Watch this space.

    After May 2024 a lot of issues were sorted prior to delivery, although, the transmission is on going. I bought a GT Diesel in August and the drive away price with Over 6K of extras was under 70K ( August was a huge price drop). There is a difference in price between the evolve and the GT, but, I personally would choose the GT regardless. The PHEV is the one I wouldn’t choose because the price difference is huge and no matter how economical it may be, you would never save the price difference. Except for the suspension (still needs improvement), I’m happy with mine, particularly saving around 12K of the drive away price.

    I like mine. Had it 10 months and done over 21,000 km. Love the torque of the engine. Looks good, roomy and practical. Relaxing to drive on long, smooth journeys. Auto gearbox can be a bit clunky at low speeds and it gives a rough ride on speed humps and bad roads. It's not a deal breaker for me, because I love the engine performance so much. I dislike that the Homura diesel I bought has no spacesaver spare, and not even a tyre jack. I think if I had nail varnish I would almost certainly have bought a Merc. No brains

      @@peterscrace3530 I cannot complain and did not complain about the fuel economy, it stated 690km on my last journey which is impressive for such a big petrol engine. I made a video showing the faulty speed indication, it is broken at 90km and 130km limits on my car which I encountered on my recent 7000km drive. The suspension seems to be settling down a little now, still the whole boot jumps up in the air on some bumps in the road. Maybe you are luckier than me with road quality, being in Ukraine we have quite poorly maintained roads, despite the war our government is doing it's best to fix them but the extreme temperature shifts don't help each year. When I drove through Poland, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France etc the roads are much higher quality and you don't notice the ride quality so much. Drivers recognition is turned off, it's never worked despite a dealer upgrade. My boot latch has the temporary tape fix until a new latch arrives. I tested the speed issues through multiple countries and it was consistently broken. My phone charger constant tells me it's not working or is ok. Driver distraction I could do without too.
