for once I can appreciate how boringly predictable you are, thanks for proving my point and REALLY driving it home, not to mention completely misquoting me. I am well aware that you are knowledgeable and that somewhere in between your flaming insults you've managed to help a few people, but how...

retards this thread is an example of the main reason why I stopped coming here... the "community" aspect is completely lacking. someone came here asking for help and gets flamed with others' OPINIONS, which is not what he asked for. one can respectfully state their opinion, even a strong...

I had mine fixed. it is not perfect, I can see a slight vibration under certain circumstances, but it is 95% better than before. the invoice reads: check for bulletins -none - called techline - states information on newsletter Jan/Feb 2009 - K001-WO-225 foam kit for mirror base... the...

I went to http://www.mazdanavigation.com/ContactUs/ a couple of months ago and posted a message indicating my dissatisfaction in having purchased on 09 vehicle and receiving older maps. I have had several problems with the maps, and I told them that having paid for a nav system, I expected to...

I am going on tomorrow to get mine corrected. the dealer called the techline and on the invoice wrote notes indicating "...information on newsletter jan/feb 2009 - k001-wo-225 foam kit for mirror base."

I was referring to the fronts. I've heard different answers from different people on it, but what I'm hearing now is, anything on the front is illegal. I got pulled over for a rolling stop in Sonoma on Memorial Day weekend. he was pulling people over right and left, probably looking for...

yea, she's a bit sensitive... I find it's best to ignore her. (boom07)

The service dept. told me at 3,750 miles. Mazda USA called me to say thanks, how are things, don't forget to change your oil at 3k. Couldn't find it in the manual, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Called the service dept and another guy told me 5k. I'm at around 3,400, so I'm thinking...

I like that idea. I guess I change driving styles quite a bit, b/c I find it often times responds differently. general, everyday driving I try to take it easy to conserve mileage and just enjoy cruisin, but when in traffic and/or in a hurry I want the responsiveness and sometimes find it's not...

cars that have this have to be enabled and can be disabled. the point is having the option available for those that prefer it.

totally. I'm not used to rails so I'm not afflicted with the 'looks naked without' perspective. I got mine from Mazdaparts.org and just picked up the T25 bit, but have put off installing them. eventually I'll cave in though, for functionality reasons. but - personal preference here - I do...

I have to concede that the lack of auto-lock when driving is a no-brainer, but I still stand by my former statement and have no regrets.

like many things in life, a big consideration is the relationship of the price to what you're getting. take a good bottle of wine - one that might sell for $20, and you get it on sale for $15. are you going to complain that it doesn't taste like Opus One? if you want a $200 (or $1k) bottle of...

sound reasoning, no doubt. my wife made a brief effort to scoop the 9, but I shut that down REAL quick. I told her the last new car was hers... this one was all mine. :-D

if you're investigating buying a car, I'd suggest running the report on Consumer Reports. for $14 I was able to find out exact figures, and it gave me some bargaining power. they may be able to go lower still, mine didn't, but when I told them I was aware of the unadvertised discounts and...
