    2009 Mazda5 Touring AT with 62K miles - $16500

    Three days ago I sent my beloved M5 on its way to a nice family in SF. The new owner came to pick it up at the train station. I delivered to him the car, the maintenance records, and all the accessories. Seeing that he was eager to take over, I reluctantly walked away. I felt a tight knot in my...

    Handling

    i think the thicker sway bars should have come standard on the 5. not sure about the 2012 model, but at least for my 2009, it made a real difference. i wasn't going fast by the way. even the kids could feel it, almost no complaints from the back seat about motion sickness. :)

    Mazda5 real-world Mileage numbers

    I have gone through several tanks now with similar results. The fill-up today shows that I got 390 miles from 13 gallons. On my last road trip when I used A/C for about 50 miles, I got 360 miles from 13 gallons. Now that the gas price is down a bit ($3.89 as of today), I feel more relieved. Will...

    Post pics of your Mazda5

    It looks awesome! And do you have a set of vertical roof rails? I don't see the horizontal bar or the rails, just 3 or 4 buttons?

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Over the weekend I took the car to the Bodie SHP which is at 8375 feet elevation. On our way back it started snowing on the Sonora Pass Hwy. The kids wanted to get out and play in the snow. This area was somewhere between 7000 and 9000 feet elevation. Just when I thought there was not...

    COBB Sway Bars

    I realize this is a two-year-old thread and that Cobb Tuning supposedly discontinued the anti-sway bar for M3s, but somehow I was able to order one from their shop in Plano. The bar has been installed but I am experiencing some rubbing that are preventing me from enjoying it completely. Because...

    Got a 5!

    Congrats and LOL~ i think the car we drive says a lot about who we are. You probably can't get Paris Hilton to go for a ride in your 5, but do you really care? Smart ladies will recognize that you've made a wise decision, and you will get extra points for the manual transmission.

    Road trip, anyone?

    I take my kids on road trips almost every weekend to small towns or state parks within a 300 mile radius. When necessary, we stay at local camp grounds. I think it would be great if we can get a team of MZ5s on the road, with wifey, hubby, kids, pets, cargo and all.

    Tire chains v. Fabric tire covers

    does anyone have any experience in using tire chains in the mud? for my road trip this weekend there will be a three mile unpaved dirt road leading to my destination. if it rains or snows, then the road would be muddy. it's a long drive to get there and i want to be prepared.

    Pictures of Taiwan M5 Society Events

    apparently driving/owning a 5 suggests that the driver is ready to settle down, hence all these wedding limos. i don't think you will find honda civic enthusiasts doing the same. :p
