    Disk Stuck in CD Changer

    45K miles...CD player isn't under warranty anymore, so the dealer isn't walking all over me. I wasn't thrilled about the length of warranty when I bought it, but that's not the dealer's fault, nor is it the issue in question.

    Mazda5 Tires: Issues & Replacement Recommendations

    The warning doesn't appear until you go to check out. A box comes up: "The following tire you have selected has a higher load rating than the vehicle's Original Equipment (O.E.) tires. This typically results in increased ride harshness, which some customers may find undesirable." As far as...

    Mazda5 Tires: Issues & Replacement Recommendations

    so, generally, at what point am I supposed to worry about tire load warnings on a place like tirerack? I have this fear of having $700 in useless tires... but even the kuhmo ecsta lx in the 205/50-17 gives me the RED warning... Also, does anyone buy these road hazard programs from tirerack?

    Mazda5 Tires: Issues & Replacement Recommendations

    I have read some recs. for Kuhmo Ecsta LX plat. here. When I put it in my shopping cart on tirerack it puts a tire load warning/increased ride harshness. (in 205 or 215/50-17). I was originally going for the ASX, but the Lx has a rebate and the ASX is back ordered and I need these ASAP. I don't...

    rent a Mazda5?

    When I got mine 1/08 seems like it wasn't much more than $1K more to get a new one than from Ent., so not really a much better deal for the warranty miles & new car smell. Plus I wanted the sand interior.

    Mazda5 Tires: Issues & Replacement Recommendations

    OK, I'm a bit overwhelmed. I made it to 38K with my Toyos, and I want to decide on a size for my replacements. I'd like some more ground clearance-lots of speed bumps, crappy roads (crappy drivers like me, maybe?). I thought the 215/50-17s lots are switching to would just be wider? switz above...

    Mazda5: Any comments/pics on 2008 sand interior?

    Hello, my name is Lisa and I'm currently and newly obsessed with the Mazda5. I rented a 2006 M5 and am hooked (not to mention my POS Passat has been in the shop for months). I did notice that the black cloth showed a lot of dirt-not good with 2 toddlers. I haven't seen any of the sand in any...
