Touring vs Sport

[HanchenLi]

I am considering buying a 2016 CX-5 and I am now hesitate between touring and sport?
What do you think?

And I have a few questions
1. Can I open all the doors by using the door handle button of advanced keyless system
2. Touring has upgraded upholstery, does that really make a difference? Can anyone post a photo?
3. Is the rear view camera good? Does it have blind spot on two corners? Since the back sensor is even more expensive than the camera package, is it better than camera?

1. If you meant the power door switch on the driver side door, yes, it can open all doors. If you meant the button on the keyless remote, yes, it can too. You can program the remote to two stage to open driver door first and then the rest; or one push to open all doors.
2. It supposed to but it's hard to tell. But they do look different.
3. Yes, factory rear view camera is REALLY useful as CX-5's rear view is very restricted like most CUV's. I can't see any blind spots at corners. Yes, it is much better than the old beeping rear park sensors as you can actually see the whole rear view! Rear view camera has made the rear park sensors the thing of past.

Again, I believe GT with Tech Package with LED lightings is still the best one to get. JMHO.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Obviously GT with Tech Package with LED lightings is still the best one to get, but it is also expensive.
For the first question, I mean somthing like this

That button is for Advanced Keyless Entry System which is not available on Sport. Yeah, it serves the same thing like the button on the remote: push once to open the driver door, push the second time to open the rest of doors. And it can be programmed to open all doors with one push.

If you add Tech Pkg. on Touring for LED lightings, you will be forced to get Moonroof and Bose Pkg. Which might as well get a GT. A friend of mine got a 2016 GT FWD w/Tech for only $27.5K which is less than 10% more expensive than the price average people paid for a Touring.
