I find for rear facing you kinda need the middle. Those seats are huge.
For kid hauling minivan is king albeit not cool.
The middle won*t work, it*s worse than the passenger side because you have to adjust the driver*s seat forward too. No way I could drive...
I*d love to have the seat in the middle, but I*d have to sell the CX-5 to do so. Just is what it is, and I*ll live with it for awhile longer...
For the record, I*m comfy and perfectly fine riding in the back seat of the CX-5. This is a definite must have to be able to check off while buying...
If the CX-5 was larger I wouldn't have bought it.
Agree with OP. I think they need something at the bigger end of the 2-row class, like the Edge (or old CX-7). Let*s face it, the CX-5 is at the *cute* end of the crossover spectrum. I*d like something a little less dainty. That*s my prediction for the Alabama crossover.
CX-9 is way too large. I don*t know why people keep saying *get that.* There*s a valley between the 5 and 9.

See this is kind of where I*m at as well. But you can*t make everyone happy. Unless you have 19 different SUV models...... [emoji849]

Agree. I driven the CX-9. Its huge for a SUV. If they can stretch the CX-5 about 5-6" inches longer, it would be perfect (similar to the RDX).
Yikes. All this talk about widening and lengthening, pretty soon this version of a CX-5 you all want wouldn't even fit in my garage anymore.
I'm of the opinion the CX-5 should stay the way it is in terms of it's overall dimensions. If there is enough demand for a size slotted between the CX-5 and CX-9, then Mazda should just revive the CX-7 moniker for an SUV sized between the 2. Make both camps happy.
Exactly! One of the things I liked about the CX-5 is actually that it wasnt too big. Things like turning radius and park ability would suffer. Thats why I was surprised to see CX-30 not CX-7 (more Edge sized).
But like I said you cant make everyone happy.
