Hi All, Our P5 has been with us since Nov '15. 2002 5 speed, ABS with 124000km (75000 miles). The only change we have made since purchase is installing 17 X 7 wheels with 205-40/17 Hancook tires (Jan 5). There is no clearance issues with the wheels or tires. Installed by dealer. The...

Hi All, I spent 3 years (2009-2012) on this site as a Mazda5 owner. Sold the 5 in Mar 2012 but I'm back with a 2002 Protege5. I cant believe that i'm admitting this , but I do not know if it is an LX or an SE. In fact, I know nothing beyond facts about the specific car. 5 speed with 122...

Hi all, While its been a long time since my last post (amazing how working full time zaps my enthusiasm for staying up all night and responding to every post about the 5), I have continued to love my 5. Unfortunately, the time has come for me to move on to another vehicle. We bought a new...

I'm back, Babies, I'm back. Been in Whitehorse since the end of November and finally got online. So...2600km/1625 mile drive to get here. We (my son and I +both dogs) were on the road a total of three days. Best tank got us more than 600 km and the worst was the last one (350 km/53 litres)...

This weekend marks one year of ownership. Our 2007 Brilliant Black GT 5 speed had 18000 km when we paid 16700 (before tax) for it last year. In the past year, we have driven 16000km, spent $2000 on fuel, averaged 23 mpg (US), added a block heater and rear-step bumper plate ($250), bought...

Alright, my turn for a stupid question. Opening the roof with the tilt button gives only a few degrees of tilt above horizontal, while using the open button and stopping the roof after full tilt but before it slids backward, gives twice as much tilt. Is the roof supposed to tilt so little...

We are moving to Whitehorse Yukon this summer for a 5 year hitch. I am thinking of having a block heater installed in the 5. Who has one? How much should it cost installed?

Just came back from a road trip to the top of Vancouver Island. 600km/375 mi return, which took me just over 5 hours. Got me wondering how far others have travelled on one fill-up. My trip burned up 52 L/13.8 gals of regular fuel at about 120km/75 mph. I'm no mileage miser, and have only had...

Friday, Oct 16, 2009 Canadian Tire flyer has winter tire packages specifically for the 5. Goodyear Nordic 205/55-16's on steelies for about $720 canadian + balancing and tax, and $923 for alloys. Act fast.

After three months and 5000 km, we finally encountered rain with the 5. 07' GT 5spd, all stock including Toyos, 23000km. Accelerating past 3000 rpm in first gear triggered massive wheel hop as a/the front tire(s) broke loose. Wheel spin in the dry also hammers the front suspension. Is this...

I'm so excited. I found a new feature on my 5. Travelled for more than an hour tonight on the freeway and when I got back to the city, the mirrors were fogged, for the first time. I thought I would hit the rear defrost switch (also for the first time) to see if the mirrors cleared. WOW...

Saw a how-to for the MP5 to keep power to the window switches after the key is removed. I wonder if anyone has done this to their Mazda5. Two of my mid-90's heaps had power to the windows (including the sunroof) and the radio with key removed. Power cut off if any door was opened. This is...
