'25 CX-5 Signature '19 Mazda6 Signature
I drive less than 3K miles a year… hopefully my '25 CX-5 will last the rest of my life 
.
I noticed something more disheartening than the giant infotainment screen in the '26 CX-5… the primary center AC vents. The infotainment screen has pushed them down to approximately stomach level, and they look small. In my '25 CX-5 those vents are about mid-chest level and decent sized.
I live in the U.S. Deep South, where summer temperatures can reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit with high humidity. When you get in a hot car here, you want maximum cold air on your face. Those new vents look inadequate to me, if you live where summers are hot.
