I've seen two new 5s in my drives around Denver. Mazda was lucky in that at least their assembly plant in Hiroshima is in southern Japan, far away from the Tsunami affected areas.

I keep about 15$ of quarters in the little tray between the ignition and the center console. It's easily accessible, but no one can see it from the outside looking in. I keep extra diapers and wipes under one of the second row seats along with some bottled water, granola bars and a blanket...

An aftermarket deck works well.... Head units that do bluetooth have greatly come down in price. I installed a JVC KD-R900 a year and a half ago and have been very happy. You can get them for under $170. My bill of materials is here. It kicks butt. It pairs up with my Bluetooth Android...

The seventh seat sells me. Why Mazda never offered it in the States is beyond me.

If they were the LM-25 or LM-22s, the Bridgestone Blizzak Sport Snows, the tires would perform better than the stock Toyos. I've got LM-25s on my 5, and when I rotate them out in the Spring for the Toyos, I get depressed.

Yeah, it makes sense, but the OEM one uninstalls by unlocking the end and untightening (by hand) a bolt (one per post). Whereas the INNO requires one to unlock the end, and remove two bolts per post with an allen wrench, and that still leaves the unsightly nubs, which is another bolt per post.

I got the INNO from autoanything for 195$ too. IMHO: They are much noisier and harder to install/remove than the OEM racks I had before.

I did a quick search of inventory in Denver. Zero Mazda5s. One has to go 63 miles south to Colorado Springs, where one dealer has six in inventory.

If you have a 2007 you don't have TPMS. The 2008s and later have it. I live in Denver, and enjoy my snow tires (Blizzaks LM-25s) they handle better than the stock Toyos. While we don't get the snow that CNY gets, when it gets crazy snowy they are nice to have. My wife wanted a 4WD, but snow...

So my `07 is about 5K and six months from its factory warranty expiring. Outside of the crunch issue, I've had zero problems with it. But I'm thinking of keeping this car for a while, and an extended warranty would be bring some piece of mind, if the price was right. I've decided that the...
