Regarding the question that Yrwei didn't answer about the MID staying on the last selected screen, I can answer that based on a second test drive. Yes, it does. So, if the MID was last on the temp gauge option when the car is shut off, it stays on the screen so long as one of the active safety...

Yrwei: Did you not understand the OP's question? I ask because you certainly didn't answer the question asked. I don't know the answer yet. How about anyone else?

I'd like to interject what I posted elsewhere this morning (keep in mind that the comparison involves a 2016 (not 2016.5) and a 2017 GT: I do want to comment about how some folks have claimed that the 2017 is so much more expensive. Some have commented that there's a big price jump for the GT...

The MID plus actual analog tach and speedo make for a much more readable display than the set up on the CR-V. Again, I make these claims based on my test drives of the 17 CX-5 yesterday and the 17 CR-V earlier this year. And the one simple info button on the CX-5 makes it much easier to access...

Of course, competitors don't tend to have the position of an active driving display (heck, they don't even have this HUD feature) tied to the memory seats position. Advantage: Mazda!

The example I drove didn't have the Premium Package (which is the only way to get the HUD). So, I don't know. The North American owner manual is a little confusing, so I was glad to see that the blind spot monitoring alerts show up in the multi-information display (even without the active...

No.

That seems to the most reasonable explanation for what I saw.

This afternoon, I took some time out and test drove a '17 CX-5 GT FWD at my closest dealer in Fort Worth. I'm going to be doing some comparisons with my current car (a 2016 CX-5 GT FWD) and a 2017 Honda CR-V EX AWD that I drove earlier this year. Here are some observations: 1) Even with me...

In addition, some folks on here don't like other people's expressing views that conflict with their hate affairs with Mazda and the CX-5.

It seems cheap compared with the ridiculous $1K Honda charges for nav-even if it does come with HD traffic.

Yrwei: I encourage you and others to look at claims made on this site with a critical eye and to avoid taking the other extreme view: that all Mazda does is aimed at screwing you and everyone else. I can admit my mistakes too. Relax, man!!

No offense is intended, but I just can't agree when people say the premium package is pricey. Honda wants $1,000 for their navigation system. The premium package is an amazing bargain!

It appears that what yrwei's dealer told him was off the mark. I live in North Texas and plan to avoid that salesperson like he's a bloated corpse.

I appreciate the value of Monte's view, but I'd take the "handling is compromised" aspect with a grain of salt. This is contrary to what a lot of Professional reviews are saying; if anything, the consensus is the steering and handling are improved over those of Gen 1.

I don't have you on that list!
