Yep, I called Bose myself and they ragged on their own system, too. Told me it's designed to play an "original" store bought CD.They stated that the radio and Bluetooth will sound "tinny" and empty. What a shame for an otherwise great auto. It's driving me crazy.

It's sad, but the sound system in the smaller (and too low to the ground for me) has a much better sounding system. Maybe I'm just getting too old, but I cannot see spending 30k for a new vehicle and then having to replace speakers, amps or the unit itself. I went through that in the mid-60s...

Does anyone know when Mazda will update/replace the Bose system in the CX5?

Have the gotten rid of that lifeless sound system and gotten more inline with what's in the CX3?

How about that lifeless sound system? Is that going to be brought more inline with the CX3's system?

Ahhh, very well written, a staunch defender whether right or wrong. Corporate? I guess the windshield issues are just someone's delusional dream. Oh, and the heated seats are merely another person's body fat hindering the limp output of the "Heated" but tipid seats. And the bassless...

You really have to wonder just how many "owners" here are actually Mazda employees hell bent on defending anything even remotely negative, even if true, rather than acknowledge a fault and let Mazda address and fix it.

As an HVAC tech I too have never seen a "partially blow" fuse. I suppose I will have to check the heated seat with a digital thermometer to be sure. If they do not provide "heat" to the person sitting in the seat then they are not doing the job claimed by Mazda representatives as well as...

Hate to be blunt, but in the process of buying a new cx5 GT, with heated seats. It's one of the reasons for purchasing the GT. But if the heated seats are not really heating, then I have an issue with Mazda. Maybe I'm just getting old, but if the seats are not truly "heated front seats," then...

Is it necessary to get the Smart City Break System when offering a GT with the LED lighting? I really don't want it, but I do want the LED lighting, head lights, fog light, daytime running lights.

Interesting, I have driven both numerous times. Like the handling of the 3 much better than the 5. But I like driving with a view way ahead of me, so 3 is questionable unless seat if fully pumped up. Sound system in 3 is much better than 5. Spoke to Bose a few times and they advised me that...

If they're so silly, why do YOU bother responding? What does that say about YOU?

The height above the ground.

Trying to find out what the height of the driver's seat is for both CX 5 & CX 3.

I would like to hear some comparisons of the CX3 with the CX5, ride & handling, comfort, technology and reliability from those who have had both or have knowledge of both. I'm having a really tough time deciding which would be best for me. The tipid heated seats and inept sound system in the...
