I really enjoy my Mazda3 2016 dashboard and controls.
Meanwhile I HATED the BMW 3 series controls and shifter. Nothing was intuitive, though it all looked space agey.
I am a fan of the Lexus controls as well. They look positively 90s but are very straightforward to use and behave as you'd expect.
As a former automotive engineer it hurts to see "aesthetics" trump usability.
- sundvor 10y agoYeah, I have the Mazda 3 Astina - 2014. I believe its MazdaConnect is roughly the same, maybe a slightly smaller screen. Blown away by how good the UX for the whole car is, including a HUD which for its price class and the time is rather amazing. Adding things like rear cross alert, curving lights and radar cruise in addition to EBA is simply great.
- robbiep 10y agoI've got the same model. Also a big fan of the design features
- js2 10y agoUgh, my 2016 CX-9's infotainment system is the worst thing about the vehicle. Mazda has tried to cram way too much into that stupid dial control.
- hkmurakami 10y agoTrue. Love everything physical about the car but the infotainment system has poor UI and bad latency.
