    It's not reflective, it's just a graphic. You see 'em on trucks and vans a lot.

    Mazda5 real-world Mileage numbers

    Car is now @ 7K miles and I'm getting 27MPG on the highway @ 70 MPH. Mixed Freeway/stop-n-go daily 70 mile commute gives about 24.5 MPG Not as good as expected, especially since I have the Five speed manual. This car could really use a 6th gear in the tranny for the highway.

    Oil Change 3k, 5k, or 7.5k?

    Actually it is the additive package that makes the difference in Dino's. And a semi-synth typically has a better additive package for high mileage engines. FWIW, I recommend running mobile 1 5K formula and testing your oil. Do the 5000 test first and establish a base line, then stretch the oil...

    If you are competent enough to operate hand tools, and read a manual you can do it. Go to the library or on the internet and read about doing a disc brake job. If you feel you could do it, then rock on dude! I suggest reading about the brake job, because you'll have to remove the calipers and...

    beware - rental cars

    Rental cars are better maintained than most cars on the market. Sure there are always a few jerks who push the cars too hard, but as well as the cars are maintained, you have a better chance of getting a quality car from a rental fleet than you do on the open market. FWIW, I rent a lot of cars...

    Mazda5 real-world Mileage numbers

    Milage has improved around 20 % since I first purchased the car. I was getting around 22 for the first 1000 miles, I now get 26 mpg regularly with a mix of city/hwy with 3600 on the ticker.

    Wind deflector question

    Just make sure you leave the moonroof open. It sticks up high enough to prevent the wind deflector from getting crushed. Oh yeah, you have to back it in to the car wash. (bang)

    Using consumer reports to buy a car is like using Guns and Ammo to pick a camera.

    Manual slide door recall

    Using consumer reports evaluations for the sole reason to buy an automobile is like using a Playboy interview to determine who to vote for. (omg) Anyway, the doors close real easy.

    Owner of a new M5 Phantom Blue

    It's a special high temp paint from Dupli-Color. Most Auto-Parts stores carry the Black and Red, and some have blue. I got my yellow on the net. Just go to your local Autozone or what ever and ask for the caliper paint. It is a self-leveling type paint and goes on with a brush. It took about 4...
