    The horn commands no respect!

    I am so embarrassed by the sound of the horn on my 2008 M5. It sounds like it came off a very very small car. It sounds worse than the Roadrunner's beep beep. There is no way I can get any respect with that horn so has anyone changed their horn? What did you replace it with? Thank you

    Key fob is too big!!!

    I got my Mazda 5, 9 days ago, but the one thing I dislike is the key/remote combination. It's so big! Has anyone found a separate key and fob combination that's smaller? Anything smaller will be great. It doesn't have to be a single piece. A key and separate fob will be just fine provided...

    2008 vs 2007 air conditioning

    My wife and I are ready to buy a Mazda5 GT (cool). The only remaining question is 2007 or 2008 model. Those of you with a 2007 model, is air conditioning a problem? Is the extra AC vent for the second row a big or is it just a convenience? I look forward to your feedback.
