Mazda pegged exactly what I liked and now they don't. Nobody else has filled that void, so I hope Mazda takes note, because like you guys I find the competition largely uninteresting or ugly.

Totally wrong. It's not either/or. There's a continuous range of performance from dogs*** to hot s***. YOU are the only one trying to put a label on it so you can criticize it for not meeting YOUR standards or wish list.
Mazda put a more powerful engine in it. That makes it quicker, that's all. If they were making a "performance" SUV they WOULD have upgraded the brakes and suspension. They're just trying to keep the buyers who like the CX-5, but think its power is only adequate. And who are willing to pay a premium to get it.

That's the point. It's not perfect, but it's the best available in its class. Nothing else comes close for the money.

There are fundamental differences between a complaint and criticism.
LOL (cryhard)
Exactly, the 2.5 turbo along with the other signature features is why the CX5 is now on our radar. Drove a CX5 sig and RDX advance back to back, liked the signature better, the Mazda sig interior is way better except for the smaller nav screen, and it's 10K cheaper. RDX has more interior room, but that is not a big deal to us. Mazda turbo felt and sounded more refined.
Oh I did not state that 25K difference, you did and you did it again in the above post by comparing the 35K Signature performance to the top end Macan.
So we are now :
disregarding the fact that Mazda is new. 5 Yr 60K warranty.
disregarding the fact that a tune on a 2 Liter 4 cyl to get 440 hp might have side effects. And warranty voided?
disregarding the running costs for the Macan which is going to be high unless you can build parts at home for it like Ed China.
with the above 3 - yeah Mazda loses. Plain and simple.
In conclusion, since Mazda does not make a car which has 440 hp for $41,000 *NEW* (Tune + CPO cost of a Macan S) or something comparable - you are gravitating away from Mazda.
You are comparing a stock Mazda which is not hard core performance to a top of the line Macan and no surprise Mazda loses. Who would have thought - buying used in the market, tuning it would have better value than buying new.
Fair enough. Would any Mazda fanboys want to argue against this - I dont see how you win this argument.

ok well noted.
I see your point.
This is very similar to many gen1 mazda3 owners, they absolutely abhor the design direction of the new mazda3's.
It's a matter of personal taste. As mentioned here before, I guess it's the way people post their comments.
I remember when i had my e39 bmw it was one of the first refreshed models, I absolutely loved it! angel eyes and all,
and when the next generation came out, i was like WTF??? bangle butt?? are you kidding me??? and those headlights with eye lids??? thank goodness BMW has updated all their line ups.
The 7 series was especially bad! ( but that's my opinion, some people probably loved it....some people with poor taste that is =P )
Would i ever go back to BMW?...possibly, but i just find it is a better value with Mazda, I don't see the need to spend the extra $$$ for luxury branding.
And besides, i'm highly into the design aspect of the automobile, and to me, Mazda seems to be hitting it out of the park. Design and handling.
I would also say Jaguar and Volvo's have pretty good designs on their lineups.

He is not that good actually. His reading skills are severely lacking IMO. He is trying hard to look smart though.
One example, Macan S is not the top end model as he stated. He doesn't get things right.

my brother in law is eyeing the new RDX...
i can't wait to get the new cx-5 sig and show him i saved $10k =P
You definitely get more for your $$ with Mazda.
Some people fail to recognize how far Mazda have come and are quick to dismiss what it offers.
Usually people who own acuras, infinitis and lexus' do not look at Mazda.
But i'm hoping this will soon change as they are definitely going up market!
just not a big fan of the acura designs...just too angular and in your face.
But i do like the bigger screen.

I agree with you Young-nyc.
Back to the topic in hand. To the OP, how does the brown leather look outside in the sun? I noticed in the Mazda 6, it was much browner and nicer outside in the sun, as compared to the showroom floor. Also, do the power mirrors function in conjunction with the seat memory (I may have missed this if mentioned before)?

i'm almost certain that the power mirrors do not work with the memory seats..from what i read.
I could be wrong...any confirmation on this?

Same can be said for the 2.5T with the smaller gas tank theyll have about the same range...
Not just the design, the look and feel of the interior materials was better in the sig than rdx advance, in rdx the graining and sheen of the interior was different depending where your looking, sig had a consistent look that was more expensive looking to my eye. sig gets stitched door tops rdx plain soft touch plastic, I thought the exterior paint and panel alignment and gaps was excellent too, Mazda has come a long way from a few years ago.

Well, that is inconvenient. But thinking about it, it makes sense. The movement of the mirror is automated not the movement of the internal mirror.
