We only have one keyless entry between my wife and I. Not being able to fully utilize a regular key is weak sauce.

The car is excellent so far. We've noticed only a few quirks, for example only the drivers door unlocks with a key. A pretty shot. Fantastic storage! The tires and wheels we aren't crazy about.

Thanks for the update. The typo didn't catch me too off guard. I saw that they updated to this new technology 10 years ago. Regardless, my wife and I bought the mazda5 yesterday. It's nice. We'll let you know how it works for us in the long run.

Future-proof, I like that.... It sounds like your winterdriving condtions are similar to ours and I'm glad to hear it performs well enough. Are your decent snow tires 205/60R16?

HELP! Convince me to buy '06 mazda5, winter drivers please check-in. Ok, I'm a first time poster here so be gentle. My wife and I are thinking of starting a family in the next year or two and our current cars (decade old FWD 4-door sedans) are starting to tank. We both like the styling and...
