    "This" close to buying a 5 - questions.

    I have 2 infant carriers (2nd row) and 2 highback boosters (3rd row) and have no issues with moving around the rear cabin if needed. My 2 six year olds get in and out of the car with the 2 infant carriers installed everyday. The mazda5 in my opinion is the perfect car for a family of 4, and a...

    Ok stupid question on FOB.

    Im a fairly smart guy. Ive taken a motor out of a car, and helped with a motor swap. But for the life of me I can not find where to open the key fob for the Mazda5. I want to change the battery to see if I can extend the range which is dwindling. TIA

    Tire Presure warning lamp?

    Thanks for the replies. I know that the pressure rises with heat, just was not sure if sensor was supposed to compensate for the change in temp. I will buy a gauge tomorrow.

    Baby seats and the Mazda5

    Intrested in why you would want a convertible car seat in stead of a infant carrier. The convertible will take up much more room, plus you will have to buckle the baby in and out every time you get in and out of the car. I have twin 8 week olds that sit in the second row in these seats...

    High idle at startup? Help!!!

    My 03 has started to do this, plus the idle plunges to under 500rpms when I stop with the a/c or the fan on. I dont remember the car idling this high before. Most cars idle at @ 1500 just after start up. Anyone have any ideas about the plunging idle issue?

    I would advise against using those suction cup shade things as they can become flying debris in the event of an accident.
