It’s like any other tech feature, you don’t miss until you try it.

agreed. esp. now (this weather). After driving my friend's Macan and going back to CX-5 the 3 things I miss - memory seats, active suspension and heated steering wheel. I don't drive sprited too much so don't really miss the @#@$% performance stuff @ Macan. What I don't miss: Ya: CX-5 is 1/2 the price.

Yeah, I can confirm it. Not only I had a visual but also Id tried them on 2018 CX-5 GT and Touring. For Mazda if theres an illuminated light on power window switch, that window has one-touch open-close feature. I also checked anti-pinch function coming with one-touch open-close feature on all 4 windows and moonroof, they all worked as intended.

My CX-5 has driver memory seat, and 2017 has heated wheel.
CX-5 doesn't need active suspension, those things cost a fortune to repair.

Thanks - didn't know.

This is GREAT, GREAT job. You have not only given the differences but actually captured photos too. Wow!! A quick question - moon/sun/space roof (duh?) does it auto - close when power switched off? Asking as the dealer said yes - for 2018 but am sure being that scam Man'ttan dealer probably not right.
I have had 2 instances where it was left open accidentally and I come back to a pool of water/leaves and all other crap. Now - I have a tape on the steering wheel reminding me to double check. Resulted in pretty expensive interior detailing in 1 case. My friend (same CX-5) had it 100 times bad when a group of squirrels entered. Guess what they did with the leather/etc.

I believe Gen-2 CX-5 started to provide power for 30 seconds after you shut off the engine so that you have a chance to close the windows and moonroof by triggering the power switches manually. But Ive never tried it so I could be wrong. On the other hand Im pretty sure 2018 CX-5 wont do auto close on any of the power moonroof and power windows when you switch off like your dealer stated.
Yeah I have also had a couple of incidents that the rain water got into the cabin when I left he moonroof tilt-open. These incidents actually make me using the moonroof a lot less.
Love it! Reminds me of the time when I had a Mazda 6 diesel and the turbos kept failing. (All fixed under warranty). I had an open top BMW Z4 tailgating me, so dropped down into 3rd gear and the plume of black smoke enveloped the BMW. He stayed back after that.(whistle)

Keeping the power on for 30~45 seconds is a feature most vehicles have nowadays. This’s from 2017 Mazda CX-5 Owner’s Manual on page 3-37 but I have seen people were saying there’s no such feature like you’ve found out on your 2017 CX-5. There's certainly no such feature on my 2016 CX-5 although my 2016 CX-5 Owner’s Manual also made the same claim on page 3-33 in Engine-off power window operation section.
