I decided to get out before anything seriously wrong happened to my car...The dealership was unable to replicate the crunching sound after I took it back in again and after being sent home with a clean bill of health I was through...They had tried the lubing of the bushings, but it only worked...

The sound you're hearing is more than likely coming from the front control arms/bushings...All of us Mazda 5 owners have this same issue when the temps drop...Depending on how long it takes for things to warm up below your car, the sound and clunking will usually disappear after you drive a...

Sorry, what I meant to say was a few seconds (as I would never advocate taking both hands off of the wheel while driving)...And yes I can remove both hands from the wheel while on the freeway doing 80mph or more and the car doesn't drift at all... Best of luck with your 5 though, I hope they...

I ended up taking my 5 in today for the oil change and also to check on the crunching noise...The service tech came out and told me that he lubed the control arm bushings, and that there was nothing mechanically wrong with my car...He said that they are aware of the crunching, and that he could...

Say it isn't so!!!!!!!!! I got the crunch this morning when I backed out of the driveway...There is some road work being done on my block, and the 5 let out some serious knocking when I went over the uneven pavement...This is the first issue I've had with my car since I purchased it in April...

I haven't had any unusual road noise or vibrations at high speeds luckily...I do however have the drifting to the right issue like you do...I've found it is simply a matter of heavy torque steer while you have your foot is on the gas...If I'm on an uncrowned road without pressing the gas pedal...

Does anyone know if the 08 5's have the new control arms and bushings installed??? Or, are they the same ones that will creak and thud after 12,000 miles like the 06-07 models??? I'm really eager to see the new Copper Red color in person...I'd like to know how much of a Copper/Orange tint it...

Which clips are these you're referring to??? Are they the plastic phillips screws that snap into the splash guards in the wheel wells??? I ask because after my last oil change I noticed I'm missing one of those...

Awesome choice in your color choice...I got the same one!!! Did your 5 come with the turn signals on the side mirrors, or is that an aftermarket mod??? Oh and speaking of mod, I'm digging the bullseye :D

I know what you guys were referring to...I wasn't talking about using white bulbs in your turn signals...I was talking about Scions being available from the dealership with OEM clear headlights and tail lights... My xB in particular came with OEM cleared out HID's, but ran an amber bulb in the...

There is an amber bulb in the rear tail lights as well as an amber bulb in the headlights...It's completely legal in California to have cleared corners on your headlight assembly...There are a lot of imports sold here (Scion being one I am certain of) that offers cleared front and rear tail...

When I go to the dealership to get anything done, the first thing I tell the service adviser is to not touch my tire pressure settings under any circumstances...Don't check them, don't adjust anything, don't even take off the valve stem caps!!! I just had my 5 in today for it's regular oil...

I get it from time to time as well...There is nothing that can be done about it unless you switch the type of stock brake pads with ones of a different material... Anytime your car sits for a while (usually overnight) after it has been washed, raining outside, hit by the sprinklers etc...The...

If that orange one makes it to the US shores I'm getting one!!! *drools*

The Maguire's Quick Interior Detail spray is perfect for the plastic silver panels as well...You can spray it directly onto your center stereo console too...It wipes away clean from every surface even glass...

I think I may have an issue with my 5...There is a thin black fuzzy/felt material that runs along the bottom of the windshield...This strip of material is held into place between the dashboard ad the glass itself with an adhesive backing...I'm guessing our regular 100 plus degree temps around...

I do the same...I also use it on every other non-cloth interior surface...That stuff rocks!!! :D

06' (Auto) Sport Touring In Stellar Greensilver Metallic Aside from factory add ons like the rear cargo cover, cassette deck, and stubby antenna, I've only tinted the windows so far...It's my daily driver and the wife and I are very happy with it as it is now :D

I have to say that I'm not feeling those wheels...I definitely hope those aren't on the commercial release because they won't help boost the sales...
