My experience is that Mazda doesn't care what happens to you, as long as the dealership is pushing out cars. I've written to say what bad service I got, how I was treated badly, and no response came forth. Quite simply, they just don't give a fark. Personally, I love that my windshield was...

This is NOT professional advice, and should not be taken as such. I can't say anything about it without seeing the parts in person. Those look like impact marks. Heat would likely discolour the lenses, yellowing them prematurely. It would also cause ripples in the material. What's the cover...

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. Does anyone read Japanese? I translated it as "ha ha, you can't buy this from your local dealer." Does it fit in a North American M5? Seems like a silly question, but I'm curious if there are different bumps or placements.

A few months ago, someone posted an accessory for the Mazda5. It was a hard plastic covering for the rear cargo area and rear seats that stayed on. It seemed to bolt into place. I remember a drawing of a wet umbrella on the picture. I do some diving, and I'd like to avoid putting...

That's odd. I've got a 5-speed GT. I am Canadian, so your model numbers may be different.

Huh, my dealership said leave the oil until 8k. (kilometers) It seemed like a weird thing to say.

I got the rear 7 windows tinted to 20% light transmission on Friday. I left the front 5 and the sunroof alone; the front 5 cannot have any tinting whatsoever in BC. Tinting the sunroof would have been... peculiar. It was $220 with taxes, a mobile shop came to work and did the tinting here.

Short answer: It's not possible. Longer answer: Chips don't get re-written that way. If it's a re-writable style of chip in the key fob, it would be erased with a programmer and a special program. They're electrically erasable, not magnetically, and not via radio frequencies (RF). Also, it's...

If you have carseats in the middle row, it is physically impossible to enter the back row of a Rondo. This means you can put your carseats in the back and have to move them to put anything in the back, or you can put your carseats in the middle and have to move them to get to the back row. On...

Short Answer: It's crap, as is any device that is claimed to boost fuel economy. Long answer: Even if it did work, which it doesn't, let's take a look at what they're claiming: 1. It's a capacitor. It stores electrical energy. This much is true, but the amount of storage available in a...

Wait a second - where did you get that avatar?

The weight detector is electronic and computer controlled, and electronics fail. Mazda won't guarantee that it will work, so I wouldn't put critical cargo (i.e. children) in there. The manual says something along those lines. Put the kid in a rear-facing seat in the middle or rear row according...

Yes, the `08 mirror will fit an `07 Mazda5. I replaced mine this weekend. It's an amazing increase in visibility. Well worth the $40.

Mine are in a dealer plate holder screwed into the bumper.

I have a 2007 GT with a manual transmission. Of course, I am from Canada, so we have slightly different things available. There are some cheapish 2007 GTs in Quebec. Check out driving.ca for some details. FWD only.

I'm from Vancouver Island as well. I went to a dealer in Vancouver to get my Mazda5. Here's why: Victoria / Nanaimo: $19,990 used 2007 GS model 15k - 22k or more. "We're the only Mazda dealer in Victoria. *smug smug smug*" My response: "You realize I can get a online quote from any dealer in...

Small claims court. If you're a professional doing professional work in your field, you're expected to use the due diligence and proper care that a reasonable practitioner would use. Since all he's doing is tinting, I don't think he'd be able to use the "I got in over my head" defence. If...

Go to your local dealer and see how it fits. Take a test drive, drive it home, and see how many people can fit into it comfortably. Here are two photos I happen to have of mine. For the record, I'm aware that the kids aren't safe in adult buckles. We'd just brought the 5 home the previous...
