    DIN or Double DIN?

    Those that have replaced the head unit, did you go with a single or double DIN unit? Planning upgrades for my 2012 Sport....

    2012 5 sport - high speed steering wheel shimmy / vibration

    Just picked up a used 2012 5 Sport with 36K on the clock. It has a distinct vibration coming through the steering wheel at 60+ mph. The dealer had installed new tires ("Arizonian Silver Edition") and does not think the wheels were balanced after that was done, so I will be getting a balance...

    New to me 2012 Sport - audio options

    Should be picking up my new-to-me 2012 Sport on Monday - whoop whoop!! Since I have the Sport, there is no Aux (at least, I don't think so) and no Sirius/XM, so I'm looking to upgrade the head unit. I have zero need for navigation (that is what smartphones are for) and video playback - I just...

    New (used) purchase - service due at 45K?

    Hey all, looks like I'm finally going to pull the trigger on a new-to-me 5. The vehicle is a 2008 Touring, 46K on the clock. The service history shows that it has never been back to the dealership, which is a good thing as far as break/fix stuff is concerned, but maybe not such a good thing...

    Wearability of the cloth interior

    Hello all, been a lurker here for some time. I'm pretty well set on a new 5, probably going to go with a Sport as I don't need all the gee-gaws and want to keep the price as low as possible. One thing I'm a bit concerned with is the "wearability" of the cloth interior, specifically the beige...

    When will the "3" receive a refresh?

    I realize that the 2010 Mazda 3 is a "new" model, but I'm wondering if there is any word/rumor/thoughts on when it might be due for a refresh? The reason I ask is, while I really like the car, I just can't get over that fugly grille (obviously, a taste thing and YMMV). So... I'm just...

    Unable to register with gmail

    Thought I would post this as an FYI since I didn't see anything about it when I searched this forum - yesterday, I attempted to register with my gmail account. The registration process indicated I would get the usual "click here so we know you're carbon-based" e-mail to complete the...
