Thanks for the kind words Thanks to all for the nice comments and support. Frankly like the Mazda 5, the xterra has very few things bad written about or, or people complaining about. Couldnt go wrong with either vehicle. And as far as not listening to my wife, I learned...

First let me say, that after reading and posting on this forum for several months, what a nice group of people there are on these forums. No back biting and scratching the way you see on some other forums. This forum has been a great source of information, even with the small amount...

pedals I have not purchased vehicle as of yet, but that is one thing that I am afraid of. I wear 13ee, but I dont wear sneakers. Upon test driving the car I immediately noticed that when the gas is pressed down and I have to brake, my foot is hitting the underside of the...

Navigation Hello: Like you I have a Acura Tl. I think we are spoiled by it, since I think acura has one of the nicest if not nicest working navi out there. I havent purchased my 5 yet, but got to play around with one on a 5, and was...

Just curious. If you were buying a car again, and from your experiences with the Mazda 5, would you purchase the same vehicle again? Or would you purchase a different make or model, or would you possible wait for the 2008 mazda 5,s and hope for some improvements such as a more...

recall notice I found at cars.com for 2006 mazda 5,s Campaign Number: 06V463000 Date: 2006-Dec-04 Component: Latches/locks/linkages: Doors: Latch Defect Summary: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE FOLLOWING STATES: ALASKA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE...

Still doesnt make sense I hear what you are saying, but isnt any recall of vehicles voluntary. If I have a toyota corrolla and there is a recall for a bad trunk problem, if I bring it in, its my choice. They wont come and get the car or have me arrested. So a recall in a...

It doesnt make sense If there is a recall due to a problem, in this case cold, why do they have two different types of recalls. How can mazda assume that if you live in a hot weather state, you dont frequently drive to a cold weather state. Like say the jones, who live...

stop sale Could this possibly be the reason mazda web site, took off all the 2006 inventory as being available, even though the dealers have them? By the way, they are trying to sell them with no mention of something wrong...

where is car The vehicle is still on lot according to dealer(I have not seen it, it was advertised and I spoke with salesperson) It is located on long island, new york. If you decide you need specifics, just ask. My spouse is not too keen on it...

ukraine In my first deployment to Iraq, my platoon served as convoy escorts for your ukranian ranger regiment. (I think there were about three thousand of your fellow countrymen) A nice bunch of fellows and professional in their training. A large number spoke english...

snow tires Nice looking tires, especially with the mazda wheels. Two questions. The snow tires dont appear to be oem sized tires, what size are they? Also, since you are concerned about winter traction, and was buying mazda rims and you are in canada, how come you...

Dealer about an hours ride from me, is quoting me price on an mazda 5 that was traded in for a cx7.(At least thats what I am being told) Its a 2006 with 9100 miles, in black, touring edition , auto, with navi. Asking price is 17000, but I am pretty confident I can knock...

My area is showing practically the same. Sale on 2006 have 1000 rebate, if financed at ridiculous rates. So much for hoping for something better. Stay safe
