All right people, this has been an idea for a while. I've wanted a thread where we can point all the newbs. I want all the normal questions answered. Things like, "do the stock tires suck?", and "what roof rack should i get?", and "i want a shorter antenna.", and "does heat come from the rear air ducts?", and such.
So, It will be broken up into sections.
Model Year Differences
----2006-2007
----2008-2010
----2012+
2008 model year is the Mid-Cycle Refresh (MCR) with the most substantial changes. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123673724-2008-Mazda5-SUBSTANTIAL-CHANGES
Notable problems (bad stock tires, weak rear shocks, bad rear tire wear on 06-07 models)
Warranty Related Fixes
Headlight burning out thread.
Rear A/C is for A/C only
Sliding-Door-Lock-Actuator-Replacement
Recalls / TSBs
2007-2009 Mazda5 Power Steering Recall
Probably outdated TSB resource thread.
Modification suggestions (short antenna, roof rack)
How To's (i will make a list of the how to's with links)
How to: 2006-2010 horn upgrade.
How to Change Cabin Air Filters (06-10)
How to: Mazda5 Rear Shock Replacement.
How to remove tail light and replace bulbs 2006-2010
Basically, I'm looking for you guys to help, since you all have contributed most of this info. I'm looking for suggestions with the links that will answer them. There may be multiple threads... and we cannot get them all, but if you know of more than one, please post them up. Once I get the chance, I will organize them all and make a new thread with all the info in one nice neat post. This new thread will be stickied in both sections. (<2010, and 2012+) I will also try to merge threads when possible, to keep things cleaner.
So, thanks in advance for the help.
