From the Japanese clips I have seen, seems there are settings in MZD that can control this functionality. Not to mention on the button pad next to the steering wheel. Disable perhaps (scratch)

Yeah Google is seeking volunteers for free self-driving rides around my city. Various makes/models provided.

Well shoot, free ride and keep your mileage down too? I bet they accept all liability in the event of an accident as well. Why the hell not!?

I heard at my work that one was involved in a minor accident...that it was the other "human" party's fault. That said Mazda's gadgets are driver centric in that they help you make decisions drive defensively without completely taking over or let alone snooze you to death.
here is one reason. I'm not sure if that info is up to date.. but 25MPH isn't very fast.

Regarding CX5 trims, I've yet to find a clean trim comparison amongst them. Mazda's site has a bullet point list, of everything, and I was able to find a couple of comparisons, again, with everything, but I haven't seen something to the effect of,
Sport
Lists a bunch of features
Touring
Includes all of the sport features
List of features added
Grand Touring
Includes all of the touring features
List of features added
I kind of know what they are but there's some muddling and I've been looking but not finding.

We are lucky. We can compare different Mazda models or in this case, different grades of the CX-5:

Well if it helps. Just saw a 2017 CR-V in the store parking lot. Still looked like an ugly CR-V with a wide behind to me.

That's better than the mazdausa site. The differences aren't that large, I don't need to see that they have the same engine, etc., just what's different.
Anyways, thank you!
Only thing you need to know that illumination wing is sold as an accessory for $400+.

I see them in about equal numbers, although admittedly more CR-V's because they have been around longer, but at any redlight, there is sure to be a CX-5 or 3, also. RAV4's are the rarest of the CUV's here, and even they are pretty popular. CR-V and Crosstec and Forester and CX-5 make up the bulk.If you don't mind seeing your car every time you turn around...get a CR-V.

Mostly Subarus out here, but second place has to be CR-Vs for sure. I still see more Rogues and RAV4's over CX-5s out here, but I am seeing more and more CX-5's as the years go on.

I rarely see CRV's where I live but the last couple of days I've driven to work next to a CX-5 the same color as mine. There are several in the city where I live as well. I rarely see CRV's and I've been looking, but, the older models are pretty plain to me so maybe I just don't notice them.

FWIW, I compared the Touring with the Grand Touring for my needs. I went to mazdausa.com, highlighted and copied all the items, put them in excel, searched for duplicates and what I came up with is below. It's sorted to my tastes, YMMV, and it makes a pretty compelling case not to get a GT, except, for the fact that I think there is exactly 1 Touring with i-sense, in a color I'd like, within 100 miles of where I live in the Bay Area. Maybe 0, don't remember if it was AWD or FWD.
A couple of the nice to haves are more nice than others but none moved to must-have.

Rankings in my area based on my observations alone:
1 CRV
2 Jeep Cherokee (made in a factory not far away, I think that's why)
3 TIE CX-5 + Rogue
4 TIE RAV4 + Subaru
I know this cannot be the case everywhere or Mazda would have more market share, but they are VERY popular here in Cleveland. I see everything Mazda all the time. Models I've never heard of. Did you know they had a mini van at one time? LOL
(Really never knew much about Mazda beyond... Miata...)

Yep, the Mazda5 right? I see those occasionally.
Out here Subaru Foresters and Outbacks are seen everywhere. And I mean, everywhere. CR-V's below that and then Rogues and RAV4's probably tied for 3rd.
On my daily drive, I maybe see 2-5 other CX-5's. Now my office parking lot, I've found 4 other CX-5's (1 Soul Red GT (2016.5), 1 White Touring, 1 Black Touring, 1 Dark Blue Touring all pre-2016s). Could be sports too maybe, they have 17's. Slightly upset because mine is a black Touring and I never see black CX-5's here. Now I have a doppleganger in my office parking lot, rofl.
