Every so often (i would say 2x a month) on start up the time on the clock displays "12:07" no matter what time it is. Nothing has been changed. It eventually reverts back to the correct time later in the day after a new start up. Any ideas? Dealer is 45 minutes away so I don't want to go...

Releiable Thanks. My 09 had 76k miles with no issues other than one rear door lock mechanism had to be replaced. I never even had to replace any headlight or tail light bulbs. Great car.

Took delivery of my new baby last week - traded in my 09 4 cylinder GT. This car is incredible. Too many people complain of a lack of a v-6 or a turbo but this baby moves. True, 0-60 is not outstanding (like the rest of the car), but I could care less. I prefer driving fast on winding roads...

My 09 used Ford brakes (calipers and pads, at least) what does the new 17 use? Thanks.

New battery worked. I had no idea that a battery testing fine could lack the needed amps. Thanks.

Hi - the spare is kept in the house. I can certainly put in a new battery but, as mentioned, the key seems to "wake up" after the car is activated with the main key or I futz with the existing battery in the spare key.

The key used ever day works fine. The spare seems to loose its ability to unlock or start the car if not used often. However once the car is opened and or started with the main key, the spare works fine. Also, if I open up the bad key and test the battery it will work fine. Battery tests at...

Vinylex for vinyl. It is a cleaned and protectant - been around for a long time. Lexol for leather - again been around for a long time and found almost anywhere.

Loaded question - it is like asking what is the best oil to use?! How much time do you want to spend? Where do you live? Color of the car? I used to baby my bars (all dark) back in the 90's and 2000's. No time now (house, kids, dog, job...........) so I go to a decent local car wash...

Anyone have one? Opinion? I like the look because it if offset to the side, but concerned of it getting bent in a parking lot.

@yrwei52 - I hope not. I don't want the knuckle daggers at the dealership messing around inside the car!

@ mazdadude - yup first time. Label up, shiny side down. As mentioned, it starts to "read" the CD but then nothing happens and no CD appearance on the display. Will try voice command tonight as suggested by tomcat1446.

Correct tomcat1446. I will try voice command this evening. Thanks.

Odd problem (3 day old car). When I insert a CD it says "reading (or something like that)" but CD does not appear on the menu so it cannot be played. Everything else seems to work fine. Any advice? Waiting foe dealer to call me back. FYI - 3 different store bought music CD's tried.

Just took delivery so I have not investigated much yet. Are any of the interior lights LED's? The domes seem to be a bright white while the visor and hatch seem to be a dull yellow. Looking at the kits from Precision LED and prices have gone down considerably. Thanks.

i HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS FOR A LONG TIME - i WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED. I DO A LOT OF CAMPING. tHIS THING LOOKS SUPER SOLID SO NOT ONLY GOOD TO KEEP THE DOG I9N THE BACK BUT ALSO A SAFE WAY TO LOAD UP CARGO PAST THE COVER. Available on the Bay for $170 plus $25 shipping from the UK. Ouch...

Hi. My 09 has 63k miles. When I am idling I hear a squeaking noise under the hood. It goes away if I put the car in neutral. I will have it looked at but I like to have an idea of what may be causing it. Thanks.

We had an 02 wagon with manual tranny as well, so your post really hit me. We also had an early (2007) 5 with a stick and loved it. Yup no more sticks and wagons (or Saabs)available anymore - too bad. We looked at the Acura TSX wagon - great deals too small. The Subaru Outback - nice car but...

You mention storage and a 2nd child - have you considered a Mazda 5?! We had a 2008 with a manual tranny and it was actually fun to drive. The only reason we traded it in was because the GT at the time did not have leather, heated seats, upgraded stereo, bluetooth etc. The new ones do. The...

Any garage can install a hitch - it is not that hard. The aftermarkets are fine - especially for just a bike rack. I got a good deal from the dealer for the hitch and harness so I had them do it. Yes, they did not do a good job with the cut out. I went with the dealer because I did not want...
