Technology wise, we prefer the Mazda's simple and straightforward infotainment system, though we give Honda credit for how greatly it's improved its own system. Honda listened to its owners and gave us back an audio volume knob and improved the system's responsiveness, but we still find the user interface too layered and cluttered. As for the Mazda, we're disappointed with the lack of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto availability—although Mazda has hinted at its addition in a future model year.
