    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Fit a 41x42" table and four chairs. They were disassembled, but the table top was one piece. To get it in without taking it out of the packaging required setting it on the diagonal and giving it several hard shoves. It was so tight, only putting it the narrower direction with it perfectly...

    August 2010 Mazda5 Sales

    Wow, I hope these sales don't cause it to be discontinued here like the Rondo was. Maybe they'll pick up the KIA sales. Do does Mazda even advertise the 5 on tv? I don't recall ever seeing a commercial.

    17" aftermarket wheels

    If you do decide not to upsize diameter wise, you might want to run aftermarket so that you can go with a wider wheel. This will allow wider tires in the future. Make sure to adjust the wheel offset accordingly to recenter the wheel in the wheel well. If the factory has the wheel location...

    17" aftermarket wheels

    Sell the tires and remaining good rims and upgrade. If upsizing is really what you want, you'll regret spending extra $$$ on a replacement rim just to reuse the tires. On another forum, someone really wanted to upgrade, but decided to stick with stock-sized (but still aftermarket) rims so he...

    New 06' Mazda5 GT Owner

    So now that you've had some time on them, how do you like the Envigor's? I'm leaning heavily towards these. Also, did you go with stock size or do the 215/50R17 upgrade?

    Can the Mazda5's DIS be activated?

    Memory fail! I think I was picturing my friends CX-7 that I rode in during lunch. I tried every trick mentioned on the other models and nothing seemed to activate a DIS. Not fair! (bang)

    Can the Mazda5's DIS be activated?

    Thought our 2009 GT has the info button. Can't wait to get home and check. If this does work, anyway to change it from metric to MPG?

    The Tire Wear Problem Thread

    Did you get a four wheel alignment? Make sure you compare it to the recommended. I had the dealer recheck it under warrenty with only 5k on it and they said it was out. So my guess is, it came this way right off the boat. With about 12k all is still fine.

    AT flush questions, new to forum

    Friend recently had his Ford transmission flushed, and developed a leak (he at first assumed it was residual fluid, but after wiping it up, he saw additional fluid after a month). They wouldn't warrenty it and wanted $700 to drop the trans to do a full diagnostic. They even admitted several...

    Mazda5 real-world Mileage numbers

    I have a computer on my Element that measures engine load. Below about 50mph it's less load to have the windows down, but above 50mph the A/C puts less load on the engine.

    How can I make the 12volt power always on?

    I find the switched power source annoying at times. Anybody know an easy/simple way to make it always hot?

    Averaged 29mpg on a recent trip with lots of hills and curves, two adults, two children, about 300lbs of cargo, and an add-on exterior mirror (to help visibility with the rear hatch full).

    The Tire Wear Problem Thread

    Thanks to this thread, I had our 2009's alignment checked. They did it under warranty. According to the dealer it was out, but we picked it up late, so they couldn't provided the before and after specs. Considering it only has 5k miles on it, I would guess it's always been off.

    What new tires do you recommend?

    At first I would've thought to be the reason as well, but the poster says: "I refuse to buy directional tires for a mini van. We're not out autocrossing." So, it seems the reason is not for handling. So I wanted to know why the poster preferrred them.
