    Brake and ABS lights turn on for no reason?

    On more than 3 occasions this winter, my 2006 dash turned on the brake and ABS lights. I think in one case it turned on while I was driving... and the other times were when I temporarily put the car into park so I could clean the wipers. The only way for me to get rid of it was to turn off...

    Test drove CX-7 AWD + pics!

    I just had a chance to test drive the CX-7 AWD today. What can I say.... it was pretty exciting! The car was very agile and handled twists and turns very well. The brakes were equally as amazing -- even at high speeds and the vehicle came to a stop in a short distance. It was very...

    luminescent gauge?

    The GT model features a electroluminescent gauges with blue indirect lighting. What exactly does that look like? From the gallery pics on the Mazda website it shows that the gauges are boring red/orange gauges (like Mazda3) ...but is that for the GT? There's no blue lighting of any sort...

    aurgh it was bound to happen one of these days. Someone with a black car opened their door and scratched the passenger side of my Mazda 5. As luck would have it, it was black paint on my white pearly door :( I've tried to remove as much of the black as possible with a towel and water but...

    Squealing brakes?

    I've been getting some pretty loud squeals in the morning when I back out of the garage and I step on the brakes. This doesn't happen if I'm in Drive though and it seems to only occur when the weather is FREEZING (a.k.a winter). Has anyone else noticed this?

    what do you think about the GS rims?

    Dunno how it is in the States, but here in Canada, the GS model has different rims than the GT. You guys seen it yet? It's like 10 spokes or something like that. I saw a demo GS outside with the 10 spokes...but combined with the Stellar Silver body colour, it didn't look so great -- the mint...
