Try Kumos Extas if they are available in the size, I have them on my Protege and they hold up well, they are summer touring tires, very quite and smooth. Air pressure should be about 34psi to maintain handling capabilities, at 32psi they feel a bit mushy.

The *burnt smell problem* may be the paint on the block burning off. Many new cars have this.

The Mazda5's onboard computer will gradually change the shift points on A/Ts to the driver's driving style. If you change your style it will take a couple days for the computer to make more changes. If you see-saw, well, you will have to get your dealer's service department to Flash it to the...

I keep wondering what color that MZ5 is on paging_drburgos avatar is? Is it Galaxy Grey? Looks bluish and I like it.

If I remember correctly, the first Nav discs that came out did not show locations newer than two years prior to the discs being issued. In other words it takes two years to compile the data for a Nav disc so places, addresses, etc. newer than two years will not be on it. Also, different...

If you can't tell the difference between night and day th clock won't help you.

TIP: On a map draw a straight line from TO to Charleston, West Virginia and see which highways are closest to the line. ;)

TIP: If not seat covers, then buy inexpensive (US$5 to US$10) fleece throws to put over the seats, such as the middle row. They are washable. Found in most department stores. I use one in my Pro for the back seat for my dog and my car has cloth. Buy a color that goes with your car or a pattern...

PolarBear:Look in the owner's manual for the RPMs for UP-shifting each gear, memorize those RPMs and that will help you a lot. As you become more use to shifting you can vary it.

TIP: To prolong the life of the clutch, shift to N (Neutral) and let OFF the clutch at red lights. Then shift to 1st or 2nd gear to move off when the light changes.

What I see happening here for PolarBear is he is waiting too long before downshifting as he approaches a red light. He should start downshifting at 1000 metres, or 1500 metres, from the red light, from 4th to 3rd gear. This would give him more time to think about the shift. Push the clutch all...

Ouch! Sorry about your new CX-7. I've been in the same kind of accident and know what it is like. I was in a 1986 Accord rearended at a stoplight by a Buick Park Avenue going 50mph. In a rearender the driver is thrown forward because seat belts are for head-on collisions. The driver is then...

Is this a new car or a rebuilt engine? There's a difference. If new, you should not hold a steady speed and rpm for a long period of time. N No fast starts from traffic lights, no hard stops, as in standing on the brakes or slamming on the brakes. Drive at moderate speeds and RPMs for the first...

The Mazda cars ride firm mainly because of the tires, they have stiffer sidewalls. When you get to changing tires look for a brand with softer rubber in the sidewalls, it makes a world of difference without changing the handling. Ditto for road noise from the tires, if any, look for a less noisy...

If you are driving south on I-81 through Virginia, you could stop for the night in several places that have things to see and do. At the Vistors Center as you come into the state stop and pick up brochures showing attractions for families. Depending on your arrival time, try to stop before...

Sick link posted by sicko2 The link on this page is outragious and a disgrace to those who lost their lives on 9/11. Only the sickest of minds would use the WTC films for porno. And others who post links to this disgusting website are equally evil. Note that I have sent the website address to...
