I was putting something in the back of the Mazda5 today, when I noticed that there appears to be a rather large hole in the rear glass where the rear wiper arm extends out. I'm 99% sure there should be some sort of gasket here to keep water out of the hatch. But since I don't have another...

So back in June I posted a thread about how I had smoke coming out of the back of the Mazda5 when I was climbing through the mountains of SW PA in 3rd gear. Well, I took the car back to the dealership and they couldn't find anything wrong, blah, blah, blah... Well now it has been super hot in...

A while back, I saw somewhere out there in cyber space, a link on converting the Mazda3's 2.3L cartridge filter to a screw on filter using a parts/adapter kit from the Mazda6 2.3L engine. I drop my Mazda5 (which has the same 2.3L engine as the Mazda3) off at the dealership this morning for an...

So we're driving back from Pittsburgh on Sunday, and I thought it would be fun to take a detour through SW PA and come back on I-68. We stopped at Uniontown, PA to fill up with gas and feed the kids, and on the way out of town, there was a long climb up a bill hill/short mountain. I used the...

So I got my latest copy of Autoweek in the mail yesterday and there was a comparson test between a 5 Touring to a Chevy HHR. Here is the link to the story. http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060605/FREE/60526002/1012 So bottom line, the 5 wins because of better utility and...

I was driving home to Northern, VA from MD last night when I hit two birds in flight. In my 20 years of driving, this was the first time I have ever hit birds...not to mention birds in flight. (I don't have any good encounters with wildlife. Two years ago, I hit a 8 point buck coming home...

This is a random question. But where do you keep your loose change in the Mazda5? In my old Mazda3, there was a decent sized ashtray in front of the shifter where I can stash my loose change and access it easily. But the Mazda5 doesn't come with an ashtray (or if it does, I haven't found...

So we've owned our Mazda5 for over a month now, and I finally saw, not just one, but two Mazda5's on the road this weekend in Leesburg, VA. On Saturday, I saw a strato blue Mazda5 heading North on Rt 15 and then on Sunday I saw a stellar greensilver Mazda5 heading down Sycolin. Leesburg is not...

So, I did a really boneheaded thing this past weekend. We got home after a long day of shopping and pulled the Mazda5 into the garage. I took my sleeping son in and totally forgot to close the rear passenger door. So I go into the garage the next morning to grab something and found car...

Doe anyone know if the front splash guards sold as an accessory for the Mazda5 will fit the Touring model? I use to own a Mazda3 where the splash guards sold by Mazda will only fit the i models, because the s models has the extra side sill extension. Does this hold true for the Mazda5 as well...
