I've passed on my OEM Toyo tires first 25K km (with regular 8K km rotations) and have no remarkable problems. It looks like they will work fine on next 25 40 K km (canada)

I've found Shark Fin Antenna seller: http://www.visualgarage.com/Product_What_Is_It.html

I've just took the small but strong magnet ring from my daughter's broken toy and glued it to the cap. The toy was from dollar store and costs $1 :-))) Works perfectly. Highly recommended.

I have the same idea. I've bougth the extended warranty for my previous car (Ford Contour 98) and never used it. This investment 1600CAD was lost completely. I don't think Mazda5 2006 will have more problem than old Ford Contour 98. I'm not going to invest even $1 in extended warranty.

420 km only city M5 GT eats 45 liters. So it's 9.3 km/l Automatic Transmission

I've just found in Mazda web site Mazda3 GX uses 15" wheels with 195/65R15 tires (optional size 205/55R16) http://www.mazda.ca/eng/getin/mazdamaker/engiechoose.asp?CustID=0&ModelID=13&ModelName=Mazda3 I'm wondering if I can do opposite replacement and use the size 195/65R15 for M5? (As I know...

Thanks for help. Do you have any idea about something narrower? I would be glad to have 195/.../R16, but not 205/55/R16 I know that P205/55/R16 is a standard set for Mazda5 GS, and I plan to use it only if there is nothing a bit more narrow.

I've just got my GT Mazda5. The genuine 205/50/17 all-season tires are not good in the canadian winter condition and the choice of winter tires for this size is also very limited. I've an impression that the smaller size tires would be beter for winter...
