I have a 2012 Mazda 5 sport with 6-speed manual transmission, just rolled 105k miles. Over the past few months I've been having issues with the manual transmission, specifically moving the shifter laterally from the 3-4 shift gate to the 5-6 shift gate. It's not so much an issue of the shifter...

Currently have a 2012 Mazda 5 Sport (6-sp) with 60k and a 2002 Saab 9-5 Aero SW (5-sp). The Saab just rolled over 232,000 miles and it was time to look for a replacement. I considered another used Saab wagon (9-3 or 9-5), used Volvo wagon (V50, 60, or 70), new VW Golf Sportwagen (gas, 5-speed)...

Our 2012 Mazda 5 Sport. The reverse lockout mechanism is broken. It's a plastic part at the bottom of the shift lever. Anyone ever replace the shift lever and/or mechanism? 60k & out of warranty. Thanks JMJ

So the shuddering while braking on our 2012 Mazda 5 Sport is getting worse. Will not get into a debate about warped rotors, but needless to say, time to get this fixed. I can get the rotors turned and lose the car for a few hours, or just swap them out (which I should be able to do myself). Any...

I'm considering a CX-5 Sport with manual, and the dealer has a local installer who can replace the cloth interior with Katzkin leather. So I thought I might get a quote on having Katzkin installed in my 2012 Mazda 5 Sport as well. Anyone here had this done on their M5 (or any other car, for that...

I was a few days away from putting a down payment on a 2015 Golf TDi S Sportwagen. I need an inexpensive car that can handle 3 kids in the back seat (1 car seat, 1 booster) and I wanted a manual transmission and FWD with room for a dog in the back. The Sportwagen was the only car that came even...

Recently, we've been noticing that the shift lever does not pop back up after changing out of reverse. You need to bang the stick side to side a bit to get it to pop back up. Second issue is that when filling up, even when topping up slowly, the fuel will overflow and spill out. The nozzle is...

Background: 2012 Mazda5 Sport with 6-speed manual, dealer serviced only, currently about 26k miles on the odometer. Issue: when the clutch is depressed and released during a normal shift, there is a brief low noise as the clutch is released. It's almost like a "honk" or groan. Primarily in the...

I'm in central NC. Just curious who go their 5 tinted and how much it cost. Thanks in advance - JMJ

Okay, got a check engine light and code P0455 (gross vacuum leak) on our 2012 Mazda 5 Sport. I erased the code and retightened the gas cap. Worked for a day, now it's back. Time to snoop around the engine bay for a loose hose. I'm due for oil change, so I might as well have them do the snooping...

My wife was driving to work after dropping off our oldest daughter at kindergarten. She was behind a flatbed semi on the interstate when a large metal object fell off the trailer, bounced once on the road and slammed off the windshield. She had to chase the truck for a few miles to get him to...

One of the other parents at my kids' daycare/school also bought a 2012 Mazda5. His is a Touring or Grand Touring model, ours is the Sport with 6-sp. He also had to drive 30 or 40 miles to another dealer to buy his. I wish I had the leather interior, but I'm digging the 6-sp just the same. My 3...

My new 2012 Mazda 5 (Sport, 6-sp) is on the doorstep of 5000 miles. It gets driven per schedule 1 (no short trips, heavy loading, dusty condition, etc.). Mostly highway driving and 10-30 mile drives here in the southeast. So, I'm used to changing oil every 5k, but the Mazda service schedule...

I bought an UltraGauge to show MPG and fuel status for our 2012 Mazda5 Sport (6-sp). I chose the UltraGauge since it is inexpensive, small, and displayed all the gauges I wanted. It comes standard with a clip-mount for the display itself, and I fabricated an angled intermediate mount to orient...

I'm planning on mounting an UltraGauge in my 2012 Mazda 5 Sport. The ideal spot is where the traction control/blank switches are to the left of the left side upper cubby near the OBD2 port. I'm thinking of relocating the traction control switch, or simply mounting over it with limited access...

I replaced the OEM meep-meep horn in our 2012 Mazda5 with a Wolo 2-terminal Low-Tone Horn (380-2T). Access was through the top of the driver side fender, very tight but do-able (with some scratches and swearing). If you open the bonnet and look down and right in front of the radiator, you will...

We just bought a 2012 Mazda5 Sport with 6-speed manual transmission, copper mica red, henceforth to by known as Red5. My wife and I just had our 3rd child (a boy) to add to our family of 2 daughters, ages 3 and 5. My wife wanted a car to hold everyone, and possibly a visitor, so a 3rd row was...
