2025 CX-5 Seat Comfort Concerns
- Thread starter Bocatrip

with the roof down.Canada here. Own a 2024 CX-5 Signature Turbo which is the top model of CX-5 in Canada. I'm about 5'9", slim build and the CX-5 seat fits like a glove. Wife and I drove 8 hrs to get to her sister's place for a visit. No discomfort in the butt or thighs noted. Discussion about the fit/comfort of car seats is like asking 6 guys to try on the same pair of jeans and give an opinion. Too tight in the crotch, makes my butt look fat, too long or short, etc.
Personally for me, there are so many positives in my CX-5 that I can afford to overlook the few minor gripes. Our CX-5 Signature is better equipped than our neighbor's $85K M.Benz. Took him out for a test drive few months back and he was blown away by what Mazda is able to stuff into the vehicle in way of upgrades and still sell for $30K+ less. He indicated that his Benz has a more quiet, cushy ride but would give that up in exchange for the Heads-up display which is not even included in his model. Apparently part of a $5K "upgrade" on an already $85K SUV.
Gone off track here but just indicating that you might find the vehicle with the "perfect" driver's seat but are they heated and cooled and at what price?

Yeah, I always tell people to be careful with the decision to buy a premium car as it is hard to go back. I personally have not had too much trouble but I do miss my Boxster. Nothing since has had the total package. Cost is my problem with P-cars. I had a 2002 and when it was time to trade in 2006, the prices were silly so I went with an S2000 instead. Then in 2009 I looked at Boxsters again and ended up with a 2006 BMW M Roadster as I could get so much more car (over the level of a Boxster S) for less than the non S Boxster price. The Z4MR is not as good of a car as the Boxster S but it isn't worth the P-car tax IMHO.
