    Official 2011 Mazda5 Thread

    Not so much. I've got one and get compliments on it constantly. Much more so than the 5.

    Used 2009 Sport or 2008 Touring

    The price on the 2009 sounds way high. We paid around that for a brand new Sport back in October 2008. The price on the 2008 sounds a bit high (considering the high miles), but not as bad as the other one. But personally, I do not like the color scheme. Look on Edmunds, kbb and nada guides...

    What Have You Done to Your New Gen Mazda3 or MS3 Today?

    2007+ Mazda5 Horn Upgrade - Multiple Pics - 56k connection beware

    Trust me, its easier to just remove the bumper. The only other option is to remove the front driver side wheel, remove the wheel well liner and go at it that way. Even with that you will be working in very tight confines and it will be hard to see and hard to get wrenches etc... in there...

    2007+ Mazda5 Horn Upgrade - Multiple Pics - 56k connection beware

    Finally got around to replacing that wimpy sounding "meep meep" horn with dual horns. The horns I used were 135db models. I used a low tone horn and a high tone horn. I got the horns from carparts.com for $16.00 for the two horns (contrary to my writeup below that says $31 as the $31 was for...

    Need advice on buying a new mazda 3

    If it was a door ding, there is nothing to worry about. In fact, probably at least half of the new cars out there have had a paintless dent repair before they are sold and the customer is none the wiser. They either shove a chock down the window and get the tool behind the panel that way or...

    Would 2010 Speed3 sell more if front looked exactly like the regular Mazda3?

    God these comments are lame! Yes the front end is ugly to some, but the "happy" and "smileyface" comments are just so..so OLD now...yet they pop up in every other thread still.

    Official 2010 Mazda 3 Celestial Blue Thread

    The two detents holding the mat in -- pick up the back of the mat (the part toward the seat) until it slips over the back of the detent, then push the mat forward (toward the firewall) and it will be out...reverse to install it back. The aux input is in the center console along with the 2nd...

    OEM rubber floormats...anybody have them?

    I have them and the quality seems very good. Very thick and sturdy but it will not cover the dead pedal area. You may have heard the description of the cargo tray from me too. Its not that bad. Its thin, but it is sort of rubbery. Put it this way, its good for putting miscellaneous things...

    Does the MS3 2010 has flip key?

    I had a flip key on my Mazda 5 too. I wasn't crazy about it. What bothered me most is that it would often open up in my pocket and jab me in the leg... And it always felt quite fragile. My fob for my MZ3 tech package feels much sturdier and it never has to come out of my pocket...

    Exhaust leftovers

    I haven't noticed anything like that yet. But if that starts to happen I will be pissed. Did you try some cleaner wax applied by hand? If that is an issue, definitely keep the area above the exhaust tips very well waxed.

    Subwoofer w/standard system?

    Me too (mine's an Infinify Basslink II. I would recommend going with a powered sub. There is a lot of information in this forum about installing one. Search for "Powered Sub" or similar. Mine sounds great... In a nutshell, just tap into the existing wiring for the rear speakers...no RCA's.

    Thinking of installing a powered sub. Easy?

    Sorry, no pics right now. But I mounted it behind the third row seat angled toward the driver side corner. Instead of hard mounting it to the floor, I used bungie cords around the base of the unit to the cargo net hook in the corner. I have dogs and carry things often and all I have to do is...
