If the shocking gets too annoying you can try this static strap http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FUX7H8/?tag=m20b7-20 . Not the most fashionable of course. I wonder if a wristwatch with a metal back would act the same way.

^This. Press the start button twice without foot on brake will activate power.

This happened a lot in my mazda3 cloth seats. I have learned to hold the door frame as I open the door never got shocked again. By force of habit that's how I open my cx5's door even though I have leather. Exactly why you don't go back and sit in your car while fueling. I also touch the metal...

I too have this and have been saying this is annoying. If this is the engine braking to save the brakes id rather replace the brake pads when they go out than deal with this. It usually goes 3k+ and happens consistently when im hitting the brakes to glide down to a stop in a not steep incline. I...

My 2007 Mazda CX9 has this. IMO it looks tacky.

My build date is 03/12

This is how I got mine. If you decide to get the nav in the future it's an easy install and would cost around $400-$500. The only thing I really wanted from the tech package was the advanced keyless entry which is not an easy install.

My luggages don't fly around with the cargo mat. This might be your solution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGdayqXyYno Don't know if they sell them here in the US though.

2 things can help. One is the rubber cargo mat. Keeps heavy things from sliding because of grip. Second is the cargo net which holds lighter things in place. Having both - you can now do a figure 8 while 40mph :)

I drive almost 100 miles each day and I can say that this car is very fun and comfortable. I don't get bored at all. I don't do a lot of hard corners as I am still not used to being higher off the ground coming from a sedan but whenever I do make sharp turns it seem to instill confidence. I got...

They are and most can be answered with a little research but always the case with an excited brand new owner and it's understandable.

Hate when that happens! Did you witness this while you were in the car? I always never know whether to over react when a someone does it. I almost screamed at some lady because she dinged my mazda3 when it was a month old but after we made eye contact and she said sorry I just let it pass (sigh)

Most of the cars that I have driven over the years have these and I actually prefer them over the straight line and makes changing gears much faster because you don't have to press any buttons. This also works much better with the Manumatic mode which I use a lot.

I can confirm that the windows phone 7.5 does work with the unit and can reply to text messages using your voice as well as read text messages out loud. The system thinks that you are in phone convo mode and the time duration counter appears. The option to reply only happens if your phone is not...

That is what i like about zeal red the shade changes to that sexy dark red at dusk and it is striking in the sun. Do we know each other? This is in the Mira Mesa area.
