No sadly I traded in my standard and went with the auto so my wife could drive it. But when that happens I get her 2009 GT.

I guess this is the new thing. The 16" wheels on my 2013 sport also have the black center caps.

Here's my new 2013 Meteor Gray Mazda 5 Sport to compliment my wife's 2009 White Grand Touring model. The color has a strong metallic look to it. I like many of the changes since the 2009 particularly the iPod integration, the canister style oil filter and the fact that they put the access hole...

I just picked up a 2013 Maxda 5 Sport and am impressed with the iPod integration. There is now a USB port and when connected you control the iPod from the head unit. When a song starts it shows the Title (At least the first 12 characters) and then the Artist with the first 12 characters and...

Sounds like my wife's 2009. She's always riding around with the car loaded. I just ordered a pair of the KYBs. Update: Got the KYB struts yesterday and put them on today. Super easy. Unfortunately I think the fronts need to be changed next.

Just picked up a new 2013 Mazda 5 Sport with automatic transmission and Homelink Mirror for $20,700 out the door price. It's meteor gray with the sand interior and will sit next to my wife's 2009 Grand Touring edition.

I recently had the General Altimax HPs installed in the 215/50/R17 size and they are very quiet. I think that they are a bit more expensive than the Kumho Platinums that I considered but were out of stock at my tire dealer. I did have a slight balance problem that was solved by the dealer...

My Turn It started yesterday. My wife was talking to some friends and let our 2009 Mazda 5 idle. When she went to leave the steering wheel icon was lit and she did not have any power steering. She drove about a mile to home and then called me to look at it. I checked and indeed the power...

I was looking at a Honda Fit for my wife and never even heard of a Mazda 5. My son suggested we check it out and we bought it on the spot. Now I am so glad we did. It looks great, rides great, handles great, gets good gas mileage and holds a ton. I think we bought it in February, I'll have...

I had never even heard of the Mazda 5 until my son suggested I look at a Mazda (He has had an MX-6 and a Mazda 6). We were looking at the Honda Fit and the Nissan Versa for my wife. She sat in the 5 and that was that. Much more comfortable, lots of room, more power, more standard features...

2009 Pearl White GT Here's a photo of my wife's new Mazda 5. After looking for a new car for a few months, she saw the five and we brought it home the same day. Bob

I know this doesn't answer the original poster's question for his 2007, but for 2008 or 2009 owners check this out http://www.mazdaparts.org/mazda5-ipod-module-kit.html Bob

Thanks, I have a few friends who would do anything for a beer. Just stick your finger in there, OK? (cheers) Bob

Is there a safe way to discharge the voltage??? Bob

I have OEM HID on my new 5. In the manual it says "Dangerous High Voltage - should only be changed by Mazda service department" . How true is this or are they just trying to make more money? Bob
