    Apologies in advance if this is the wrong spot. I'm looking for a good Mazda mechanic, not a dealer, in Burlington Ontario, or Mississauga Ontario. Any suggestions?

    rear wiper for a 6 wagon

    i believe the blade size you are looking for is 12b. MAKE SURE you are buying one noted to be a rear wiper. Not sure where you are, they were plentiful (and listed in the excellent book) at Canadian Tire. If you are in the US - Pep Boys? Not sure.

    Mazda 6 Driver's floor mat

    I wouldn't do strips. I would do 5 round fasteners. Two bottom corners, the corner by the clutch, and the two top corners under the gas/brake pedals. Way better than having to move the @#$@! thing all the time. My 6 is in for service... just rolled 100k kms / 60k miles, and a loooong list.

I'm sure very few have actually looked at how the driver's floor mat is attached. The hook that comes through the hole...

    insurance cost??

    So, what you have is not "one way" coverage. You have your third party liability coverage (the big $ limit) and comprehensive coverage. You opted not to have collision coverage, which pays if you hit another vehicle, a fixed object (including the roadway), etc. through your fault or driver...

    AUGH! (sad1) Hehehe. Here's the best pic I have so far. It is bone stock, but it's a great ride. Only had 63,000 kms (40k mi) on it when I picked it up.

    New user question - repair and tires, Edmonton AB

    Hey folks, I don't know where else to post this, so.... Proud new owner of a (used) 2004 Mazda 6 Wagon GT, and I love it! However, I have some questions. First, while it has the balance of the factory warranty, I'm looking around for a good repair facility. I've only found Abbey Road...
