My mazda badge on the trunk door is broke off flush with the body. I need to get the inside panel off to access the 3 holes where the broken plastic pins go in to push them out. Does anyone know or have a diagram of how to get the door panel off? Thx.

my trunk door got a 4-5 inch long dent and the mazda badge fell off, as a tree trunk fell and bruised the car. One of the underlying screws/bolts for the badge is exposed. Do you guys know whether it's easy to put the badge back, and have the dent pop back? I'd imagine a body shop can do...

I recently went to this auto show where they show off all the 2008 models of car makers. Looked at RAV4, and was instantly turned off by the cheap interior, and awkwardness of the trunk door. The other competitors like Tribeca, CR-V, all have worse specs for more dough. The styling interior...

I am curious as to what MPG other AWD owners are getting. I'm still in the break-in period; the mpg is not good. The first tank was a mix of freeway+local, I got 15ish MPG. I'm on the second tank, almost 100% local, and it looks like it's gonna be 1ess than 15. No flooring the pedal here...

When starting in the morning, my touring awd runs at 2k rpm, gradually dropping to 1.5k. Is this normal? when warmed up, it drops to around 7-8 rpm at idle. I also noticed that the cranking of the engine at idle and acceleration is quite noisy. Do you guys have the same observation? I...
