All new Premacy/5 are manufactured with ISOFIX points (thats the European name) and I think this equates to LATCH in the states. EuroNCAP JNCAP etc have given the 5 a good rating on side impact no doubt due to active safety features plus as a consequence of the sliding side doors and their...

I've test driven the Verisa here in Japan, its a great little car. Looking at the Mazda USA website, its looks like you haven't got the new MPV yet? Driven the 2.3 DISI Turbo version and it is a great vehicle. Pretty much like an overgrown 5, with more space in the luggage compartment (even...

Sorry Glen, http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/pdf/brochures/2006_mz5_brochure_acc.pdf This is all you've got currently : (

Yes, you can use perfectly well for garbage bags (or to stop your take-away bag emptying its contents on the floor), but the designers intention was for a storage unit underneath. Follow the link, select Premacy catalogue and look at the top of page 8. http://www.mazda.co.jp/customize/web_cat/

Thanks dommo g, Wasn't aware of that facility. Uploaded and available here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TZBBA6Y8 As for the factory reverse cam, its great, especially at night as the reverse lights make it a clearer view that normal eyesight and the park assistance lines work well. Looks like...

I can tell you that Japan is absolutely Aftermarket Mod crazy. Wheels, Exhausts and ICE being the main themes. Despite that I've looked in the mags and shops and there actually isn't that much specifically for 5/Premacy yet. The Dealer shop is also very limited. I'll do a little more research to...

I think the Japanese 2.3S is pretty similar to the US GT. Its got the Karakuri seat, factory Nav/Rr park camera, plus front park camera, HID headlights etc. Phantom Blue is unusual here as the majority of cars are Black, White or various shades of Grey. Pic attached. Also took an .avi of the...

In 12 months, the power doors haven't missed a beat. Theres also a power off switch, so you can use them with just the electric latch mechanism. I can testify that they have proved very convenient, especially when approaching the car carrying the baby or bags of shopping. Also, when its pouring...

Sorry Guys, I live in Japan where its available as an option, but I don't think its available in North America, even on the '07 - shame because its very convenient.

Picked up in a recall notice yesterday on the Japanese Mazda site. It relates to the sliding side door catch. My understanding is that water ingress has in some cases compromised the latch integrity. Seems to affect Premacy DBA-CREW and CBA-CREW The notice states CREW-100034～CREW-130416 and the...

Only you could know the answer to that question
