    Looking to buy a 2010 - 2015 Mazda 5, need advice before purchasing

    Meh... You should be seeing $6000-$7000 for that mileage. $7000 would get you maybe 85K miles around here, and prices seem to be comparable in CA (I'm reading Cars.com). $7-8K seems like Grand Touring territory.

    As for the milk, if you run seven gallons across and open the side compartments and throw in a couple of half gallons, you ought to be able to carry eight total :-)

    ChristInUs, there's no need to limit yourself to models that originally came with navigation, when you are planning to throw it out anyway and replace it with one that has AirPlay and navigation both. So that may give you more options. In my area $8000-9000 will get you something with over...

    Moving from Honda to a Mazda 5 minivan?

    Did exactly the same thing, a 2009 with about 90k two or so years back. We've put on about 35K so far, and never regretted it. Daily driver plus multiple long trips; longest was about 2500 miles. It drives very nicely, well-mannered like a Honda, but MUCH more fun to drive and felt a lot more...

    Hesitation with no code - Solved

    This seems to deserve a fresh thread. This 2000 Protege ES has been doing this jerk, twitch or hesitation on acceleration -- it just fails to rev up for a moment. It only seemed to be in a certain temperature range (never when dead cold), only in first or second gear (either right off the line...

    Am I just silly?

    Did you get it? Make sure you get the MT specific mount, also.

    Retrofit Lights

    No, the LED in the link. But if the fan's well made it's not an issue.

    Retrofit Lights

    Fans get so dirty indoors in computers... can't help but wonder how often you'll have to clean the cooling system on these lamps.

    Picked up a New to Me 2009 Mazda5 - Couple Quick ?'s

    Not sure about the cap but I expect you could find one to match and glue it in place. Yes, even the base model came with keyless entry. I got an extra fob at the dealer for around $100 out the door, programmed. Just make sure the fob's key is cut for the ignition, and then you'll only need to...

    Headunit of choice

    Ugh, sorry that didn't work out for you. I think I've decided to go with a mass market radio myself, when budget allows.
