Where's the hybrid Mazda5???? C'mon. Personally I would lOVE to get 40+ mpg out of my Mazda5 as I hate paying for gasoline so the extra mileage (if I have to pay for gas at all) would really be a plus.

I'm not an engineer so I can not say for sure. I can tell you that there's a company called Phoenix Motors that makes a suv that seats 5 or 6 adults I believe and can travel 150 miles per charge with a 10 minute recharge to full quick charger accessory. Also you can buy an extra battery module...

Am I the only one that thinks having a 100% electric version of the Mazda5 is a great idea? If petroleum HAS to be used, why not a diesel plug-in hybrid? That's pretty reasonable.

I put one on my "5" too. I like it but it's rather dull (dull as in matt). I wish it was glossy then it would better match the tires when they're all dressed. I've tried some greasy auto detail chemicals but that plate seems to soak up the glossy goodness like a bum in need of a cheap beer.

Why buy that Pioneer head unit when you can have a full-blown pc in there? Sure, Vista sucks but I bet the manufacturer could install XP or maybe Ubuntu if you wanted. Anyway, here's their head unit and I think it retails for about $1900 USD. AZENTEK

lol, yes I did. I actually drove the GT and the "T". Actually, horsepower aside, the GT was significantly quieter. About the HP though, I was just looking for a way (cost effective) to get a little more horsepower out of it. It's not that bad really but it could be better. I bought the "5"...

Ok, so what's a viable cost effective solution to produce more HP? I live near the Wasatch front (Rocky Mnts.) and climbing these mountains puts a hard-core strain on that little 4 banger. I have to turn off the a/c compressor when going up hills and if I leave it on my foot's almost all the way...

I saw a really cool in dash PC that I am thinking about buying. It's got Vista running on it which will be the first thing to go bye bye if I get this. (Ill either install Ubuntu or XP Pro). Azentek Atlas $2000 +/- $250

I must say that this thread is slightly confusing. It's as if the reader is presumed to have prior knowledge of what the author is talking about. How odd. (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash) (flash)...

I wish they would offer a 100% electric version. Gas is too expensive and all those stupid dirty greasy parts.

Word!

Do the blinking arrows in the mirrors distract you? I have often heard from GM owners (similar mirror idea) that they are bothered by those. I like the lights on the outside of the mirrors though!

Post pics when you're done! Mmmmkay!

Well, as far as aesthetics go, I think it looks great. But Sixty bucks? Meh.

I 2nd that! (lurk)

Hmmm, interesting replies. Have any of you actually installed one of these? From what I can tell the diode fools the on board computer into thinking it's -30 degrees Fahrenheit and that causes a different mixture of gas/air + timing to occur. Additionally, from what I understand, car...

Depends on the color of your "5" on how much they stand out. Also, those black bezels are for HID headlights (which are simply amazing at night and worth their weight in gold).

I bought a small diode from an Ebay seller. The instructions say to find the oxygen sensor (2 wires) and insert each end of the diode into the wiring harness and then tape it up to protect it (there are more details but this is the jist of it). I'm looking under my hood (2007 Mazda5 GT) and...

You really got a great deal. They must have desperate. I wound up paying $25,500 with my trade-in.

1) Where did you buy it? 2) Was that price with or without a trade-in? 3) How exactly did you get that price? Thank you
