I have a 2009 Mazda 5 and find that the instrumentation glass (plastic) scratches very easily. Has anyone found something that will first of all take the scratches out, and secondly...

    Heated Seats

    We bought a new Mazda 5 in June of this year. We found out shortly after we bought it that our heated seats did not work. We were first told by the dealer that there should be a fix "within the next couple of weeks". Sometime after that they said the seats would definitely be fixed before winter...

    Thanks for all the responses. I took it to the dealer, who told me they have never seen anything like this. They have ordered a new replacement glass and will do the install. All under warranty.

    Crystal White Pearl and LEather Options

    I'm not sure if it has changed or not, but we bought a new M5 about 1 month ago, and at that time the only option for pearl white was the black interior. I know with the 08's the pearl white came with a tan interior, and believe they changed it in 09 so it came with the black interior. We were...

Dealer said Mazda has confirmed to them they are aware there is a problem and are working on solving it. Mazda apparently told dealer that even if they replaced every part to do...

    Instrument Panel Glass (Plastic)

    Hello, We just bought a new Mazda 5 and so far are really enjoying it. One thing we noticed however, is that the glass (plastic) which covers the instrument panel is "fogged up" all the time.

These are not the roof racks that Mazda sells, but the Thule aero bar roof racks we purchased from a private distributor. Love...

    Winter Rims

    Hello, I live in Vancouver British Columbia and plan on purchasing a Mazda 5 in the next couple of months. I have noticed a few Mazda 5's on the road around here with very plain, black rims on them. This is for all 4 wheels. I am assuming they have mounted winter tires on different rims and...

    Does your service department suck this bad?

    I never saw your other post about your problems having a dealer install the auto dimming mirror with compass & homelink. Would you mind repeating yourself and letting me know what happened. I plan on buying a new Mazda 5 in a couple of months, and had planned on getting this option. I would...
