A Purist’s Perspective - One Day with the 2024 Mazda CX-5 Signature Turbo

[wlong01]

I am trying to make sense of this paper. 4320,3440lb can't be for your cx5?

Looks like it's his truck pulling a trailer. The post was just an example to show you you can weigh your car at a weigh station..

Interior
The biggest issue I have isn’t specific to the CX-5 or even Mazda in general. At 6’3", with the seat as low as it goes, I sit far too high. My head is maybe an inch from the headliner. I don't sit in the seat, but rather over it due to my wider proportions. I can easily see someone at around 5’6" enjoying this interior a whole lot more than I do.

This is a big issue IMO with the current generation RAV4 equipped with a sunroof. I’m 5’11” and my head is within 2” of the headliner. I’m ok with it on my ‘21 RAV4 Hybrid, but our CX-5 is downright spacious with respect to headspace. I don’t know how anybody 6ft or taller could be comfortable in our Toyota.

I noticed that vehicles with manually adjustable seats have additional adjustability. I can almost get the seat low enough.

If I can get a base model Mazda 3 with a manual Transmission and manual seats, that would be my choice today.

However, when comparing the seats to a CX-5 in the showroom, the CX-5 seat fit me better. But, I dread not being able to get it low enough. My head fits, I just sit far too high. I already like sitting as low as possible in a car to begin with.
