2010 Mazda 5
Hi all,

I recently bought a new-to-me 2010 Mazda 5 Sport with manual transmission. Under 94k miles on the clock when I purchased it, but the 600 mile trip home put it over 95k :-D Yes, I drove 600 miles one-way to pick up a used Mazda 5, but I wanted THIS one with a manual transmission (cabpatch).

Long time Mazda owner. Love affair started with an '87 RX-7 base. Which led to an '88 RX-7 GXL, an '00 Protege, an '06 Mazda6 and now my newest, the '10 Mazda5.

So far I'm lovin' my 5 for it's ridiculously good handling for a minivan, it's practicality and good mpg.

Already named my 5, Comet (in theme with the galaxy grey color).

He has a few dents and scratches here and there, but like a good dog from the pound, I wouldn't trade him for the world. :)
 
Nice! They are hard to find in Manual...And they handle even better when fitted with above avg shocks and tires.

Welcome sir! Nice pick up. Any pics? Always nice to see a third pedal and a good ol' H-pattern shifter in the center console. :)

Longtime Mazda fan here too; I've owned 3 RX-7s (all FBs) and an MPV.
 
He's cold and lonely right now. 31F and rain/sleet

Very nice! At least the water's beading! That's always a good sign. :)

Do you have to run front plates in Texas or can you get rid of that front plate holder? It looks awful.
