I just bought a CX5 TS and you can use CarPlay/AA touchscreen while driving. Also, you can easily permanently turn off the rear seat warning in the settings
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
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.
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.
The control knob infotainment interface is much better than Acura’s mouse pad interface. And I find Mazda’s intuitive & easier to get used to than other UIs. I am older than most YT reviewers, but the obsession w/ operating an iPad while in a moving car is still disturbing to me (and why I wouldn’t own & drive a Tesla, even if it’s free).
Toyota Rav 4 has H rated tires and the CRV has H rated 235/60 tires (muuch softer riding tires compared to the CX5 Signature) while the Mazda CX5 Turbo has very stiff riding Toyo V rated tires with ridged sidewalls but with a squishy (wandering) soft tread - get some decent H rated tires on the CX5 Turbo and it will ride better and suspension dynamics will work/feel better too...(yes IMHO the on center feeling the reviewer experienced is very real and largely a function of the Toyos). Switch to Vredestein H rated tires and the steering will feel much tighter on center, and lighter and bumps will feel less jarring - the CX5 Turbo will confidently dance over the road in a good way - this based on first hand experience.
Re: Bikes in a CX-5 I simply remove my front bike wheel be it mtn, road, or gravel. Fits great in my same-sized 2016.5 GT. If you are careful and good at tetris, you can fit two bikes, beverages, and gear easily. I luckily average almost l29mpg with mostly city miles in my commute. Can't wait to get a Turbo 2025.
I don’t find the CX-5 to be darty at all. To me, cars with my lighter steering feel darty. The firmer steering, at least in my opinion, is far more comfortable to drive over long distances than a vehicle with much lighter steering. It makes steering a conscious decision and not an accidental one. As for the infotainment system, I have a 2021, so no touch screen available. But I have found that as time goes on, the “Command” wheel and buttons on the console have become very intuitive and I can get to anything I need to with little distraction from the road. It is merely getting over the learning curve. I also have no issue with the brakes. But I think that is quite subjective. My first car was a 1965 Chevy Impala. The worst modern brakes today are far superior to the “I will stop eventually” brakes on that Impala.

The base model in the USA starts at 28,750. The top end model costs 41,000.
My only issue with my 24 cx5 carbon? The A/C seems weak on the hottest days. I'll have to get that checked before the summer of 2025. Other than that I love it!
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.
@1_helper-PST The CX-70/-90 PHEV system involves the 2.5L normally aspirated I-4 engine & a 68kW electric motor (173 hp), mounted longitudinally & mated to a Mazda-designed 8-speed automatic transmission with 2 hydraulic clutches, and back to a rear-biased AWD system. The Toyota system is based on an eCVT & eAWD setup; possibly more reliable simply by being less sophisticated/innovative. I went with Mazda’s CX-70 PHEV.
Good vid; I have no experience with a Rav4, but they are known to be solid... we went with a CX5 Base -- Turbo tempted, but where would I use it... I particularly like the CX5 infotainment -- falls right to hand, and after having had cars with touch-screen and occasionally hitting the wrong buttons/icons while driving over less than smooth roads, this positive engagement is refreshing; I'm sure it was a chore to design for Mazda (you can't just design a double-din techno-box and slap it on the dash -- has to be integrated into the car), but so far we're please with it... we've had a cou0le of Mazdas previously and always like the solid road feel.
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 .

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

Yes, it has heated seats and ventilated seats!

Fyi, in android auto and apple you can go into settings and set it so it's always in touch screen. In Bluetooth mode there's no touch screen mode
The car was so quiet inside
The CX5 blows the doors off the other cars mentioned. There is no comparison.
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.
I have a 2029 turbo
