List 3 changes/features/improvements you'd like to see on the next CX-5. Please be practical and realistic as much as possible.

Reclining rear passenger seats
Dash display (showing outside temp., mpg, etc.) moved to the center... better visibility for front passenger
Decreased cabin noise

Smaller rearview mirror
Backlit lock and window buttons
Auto hatch open button on key fob
Grab handle on both sides of the hatch
Less road noise
8 way adjustable seat on touring model

I have only had mine 6 days but these are my only complaints. A little more than three.....

Heated steering wheel
Passenger power seat
Decreased cabin noise

Bonus wish: Wish the sun roof can retract back in with just a single push and not have to hold it to close it.

The GT should have the same features as the 6 GT:
Remote tailgate release
Memory seats
Multi adjustable passenger seat

Plus:
Anti glare side mirrors
Adjustable rear seats (like Subaru Outback)
More Asian / Euro accessories available in the U.S.

1) memory seats
2) power passenger seat
3) panoramic sunroof
4) seat warmers that actually warm
5) improved navigation/voice control
6) clock in center console raised closer to eye level

I'd also say a turbo or other optional engine upgrade above and beyond the 2.5, but it would probably be counter to the whole Skyactiv/fuel economy thing, so it's not realistic.

Rear head rests that fold or stow so the seats can be laid flat w/o removing the headrest
Better cabin air flow from the vents
Effective USB interface
Garmin instead of TomTom
100,000 mile warranty like Hyundai
Softer seats

1. No shaking hood/mirror.
2. Open Automotive Alliance infotainment (aka Android for your car), with proper 2A USB or dock.
3. Movable and reclining rear seats.
4. Better driver ergonomics (side/center armrest to steering wheel).
