HUD: Is it worth it?

Brake on or off?

Was reversing slowly with brake being applied then I took my foot off the brake and was going slowly (garage is on an angle and one car already parked inside) and it went off.

Stopped me dead in my tracks. Brake was held for a bit and message on info screen
 
Damn tree branches set off my frontal SCBS again today. Foot was on the brake pedal ever so slightly. Probably the 5th time this has happened. I neeed to trim those low hanging branches.
 
I never had HUD until I bought my '13 GS350 that had it. Then I couldn't live without it. My A4 doesn't have it but it has a digital display in the middle of the speedo. I love being able to just glance at it and see what speed I'm going because, honestly, I always drive over the speed limit. So, when we got the CX-5 I had to have it, and I'm glad I got it. Also great to see the speed limit beside it, just in case.

How is TSR on the HUD?

It's wonderful for the speed limits! Next to useless for stop signs. If you were getting the HUD I would suggest making sure you get TSR as well. It's especially helpful when travelling on roads you don't always travel.

As someone else noted you can have the sign highlighted when travelling over the limit by a certain amount, which is useful as well.

Useless for stop sign? How so?
Works fine here

I think its because the sign on the HUD comes on about 1 car length away or less, which is kinda too late.

Thank you for the information. TSR is standard with HUD, so all good

This. If you aren't already looking at the stop sign and slowing by the time it comes up on the TSR you're in trouble.

Ahh ok. On my 3 (which my HUD experience is from) I had to get "tech package" over and above the "premium package" to get TSR. Premium gave the HUD without TSR. Tech added TSR.

No tech package options here. Features are gradually added as you go up the model range.
 
I feel like US folks should definitely get the premium package considering it was set up this way.
(seat memory, power seats, heated seats, and heated steering wheel was part of GT in Canada)

It is very odd that the Canada folk have to opt for Colour Multi-Information Display. Over here it is standard even on base model Maxx.
