    Mazda5 Interior / Cargo Flexibility Photos

    two bikes and lots of gear packed for a weekend get away. One touring bike, one racing bike. Lots of room to spare. I found leaving one second row seat up and leaning the bikes on it makes for much better use of space rather than laying one bike down flat, then laying another over it.

    Anyone replace rear wiper blade??

    ^^ wish I had read this before waisting $10 on the Trico 12-A. And man, what a b**** it was to get off the stock wiper and to put on the Trico. It only wipes about half the normal area. guess I'll have to go to dealer and get proper replacement. also, that rear arm could use more spring...

    tailight fine scratches - polish out?

    I used a fine cut compound and it worked pretty well. They could still be better though.

    tailight fine scratches - polish out?

    hola, I messed up my tail lights over time by running the gas station squeegie thingy over them after cleaning the rear window. After two winters of this I've noticed that they are scratched with fine scratches and look dull. Can you peeps suggest a good way of polishing the scratches...

    invisible cellphone holder :-)

    That's neat. Better than what I did... which was too stick a belt clip cell phone holder with the belt clip removed on that same area as your magnet.

    thinking of trading in '07 5 for '09 5

    interesting thoughts, all, and ya, I'll crunch those numbers before signing on the dotted line. If anyone is going to give me a good trade in, I would think it would be the place I bought it.

    thinking of trading in '07 5 for '09 5

    my dealer keeps sending me "super sales" post cards and such, and the latest looks pretty good. $1,000 cash back, 0% for 5 years etc. So even though I really like my '07 I'm thinking of trading it in for an '09 with the possibility of getting the same payment, or maybe even slightly lower...

    Who took their 2006-2007 Mazda5's in to get the suspension fixed?

    ahhhh, after 2 years, a quiet Mazda 5. Man what a difference. I thought I was ok with the noise from time to time especially since it was mostly just when it was really cold. But as I drove from the dealer it was a noticeable and welcomed difference. they replaced front and rear sway bar...

    auto trans fluid change at what mileage?

    auto trans fluid change at what mileage?

    thanks again for everyone's input. I dropped car off today for auto trans fluid change, sway bar bushing fix (been driving me nuts for two years), and to see if they can find a new noise near the base of the windshield. It's intermittent so I'm not hopeful about that one. I really hope they...

    auto trans fluid change at what mileage?

    interesting. well I have 30k miles now, and am driving to DC (7 hour trip) in April, so I'll probably take it in and have them change it and check the brakes while it's there. maybe I'll have the noisy sway bar bushings fixed too.

    moaning rear brakes when backing up?

    talked with some guys here at work and some of them said their cars and trucks do it too. This is only the second car I've had with rear discs - and the first one that moans like this. And ya, the rotors rust up a heck of a lot overnight.
