I have been waiting to hear more about this vehicle as I'm thinking it would be nice to have easier ingress and egress than with my Passat, which I intend to replace in 6 months. I don't want or need AWD or sun roof, but in order to get a few practical things I am used too and like; eg, heated seats, dual zone climate control and leather wrapped steering wheel, all standard on my base Trendline Passat, I would have to go to the Comfortline, which, I suspect, would cost much more than I'm willing to pay out for a vehicle with stuff I don't even want to get a few things I do want. So it looks like the Mazda CX5 is still the only CUV on my list. None of the others even interest me.
