Mazda 5 sunroof wind deflector This is a factory Mazda 5 sunroof wind deflector which was on a 2006 model. It wasn't used much before being removed so is in very good condition. Asking $25 plus an estimated $10 shipping charge via FedEx. List Date: 11/17/2013 For more info, click here to view...

I hate to say it, but after fighting with this seat issue since February I have been defeated. I tried everything from sitting on a 2" thick foam cushion to inserting lumbar padding into the seat back and other ridiculous combinations of cushions and back rests. I even bought an expensive...

I agree that the "new" Mazda seats are terrible. I had a 2006 5 which I loved, so bought another one (2012) this past February. The seats are horrible and I'm desperate for a solution. No kidding, this seat has just about destroyed my already sketchy back. I had to get a lumbar injection in...

I'm about to give up on this car if I can't find a solution. It looks like the seats from the Mazda 3 are a different design and I want to know if I can replace my driver's seat with one from a 3 (2012 FWIW). I think the leather seats in my 2012 5 are hard and have terrible ergonomics. It...

What an amazing coincidence... I did the exact same thing in February... got rid of my 2006 5-speed Touring and got a 2012 Liquid Silver auto Grand Touring. I'm really liking the auto. I rarely miss the 5 speed any more. I don't know what you think about the seat comfort, but I just posted a...

Well, I'm glad I posted about my issue because it got me thinking about what else I could try. I took a look at the seat, unzipped the leather cover, and found the wimpy lumbar adjustment right there. As a quick experiment I taped a couple of foam pieces I had together and stuffed them behind...

I bought a new 2012 Mazda 5 in February and I think the driver's seat is wrecking my back. I already had a compressed disk issue in my back, and this car has caused an unbelievable flare-up. Before this one I owned a 2006 Mazda 5 for 7 years and the seat in the old one was far superior in...

Nice ride. I decided to stick with the stock rims rather than swap the 5-spoke. When I saw them today I thought they looked really good. I admit that the 5-spoke would give me a very unique 2012, but not only would I have to pay $160 to have the wheels AND tires swapped (I wanted to keep the...

I want opinions on what people think is the nicer rim. I have owned my 2006 Touring model since Dec. 2005 and have almost 156k miles on it. I finally just signed for a new 2012 today and pick it up tomorrow. The new 2012 has pretty nice rims, but I've always loved the 5-spoke wheels on my...

Can you post a pic of it resting on the deflector? Can you post a pic of it resting on the deflector? I have the same thing and am skeptical of resting the fairing on the deflector. Doesn't it look funny or get flipped up by the wind?

I can't believe the terrible numbers you guys are getting. I'll post my figures later when I have my list, but I've been getting much better fuel economy than that. My latest tank was 27.9mpg (2/3 hwy, 1/3 commuting). On average around town, I've been getting about 25mpg.

My dealer in NC didn't mention either treatment. I have the Carbon Grey Mica (with a scratch already which I think may have been there when I bought it :(( ), so I'd be interested in some sort of coating I guess. I am also thinking about getting the Mazda seat covers. If not now, maybe once...

Do a google on "fuel tank bladder" or similar and find a bunch of stuff. Here's one... see the Toyota Prius description... http://www.autosite.com/content/research/index.cfm?id=10714;ASITE&action=showArticle&aid=138442

Yes, I thought about one of those racks which would be ideal. I can easily remove the existing tray... then I could try the short rear tray from Yakima. The catch is, my rear tire extends a bit beyond the rear bar and I don't know if those stubby trays can support the load?? I'll check it...

Here are the pics I took today... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2189378 Looking at it more carefully, you'd have to raise the rear of the bike trays probably 3/16"-1/4" to avoid any contact at all with the moonroof when it's fully opened since the tray would "rotate" around the front bar as...

O.k., I'm coming back down to earth on my gas mileage figures. Here are my two tanks so far: 1) 333mi, 11.9gal = 28mpg 2) 330mi, 14.28gal = 23.1 mpg ?? what the !?? There's two things going on that I think are going on (boom07) 1) I'm beginning to think that my first fill-up didn't quite...
