    Intro and Quick Qs on 2010 Sport

    You can see all the option combos on page 8 of the brochure here: http://www.auto-brochures.com/makes/Mazda/5/Mazda_US%205_2010.pdf TLDR; no sunroof for the Sport trim. It's standard on Touring and Grand Touring. Any sunroof on a sport / manual 2010 is going to be aftermarket.

    Sport, Touring or Grand Touring, how to tell

    Use this brochure to narrow it down: http://www.auto-brochures.com/makes/Mazda/5/Mazda_US%205_2009.pdf Page 8 has the trim equipment breakdown. The best indicators I can see are that leather seat = Grand Touring LED Tails and sunroof w/o leather = Touring Non led tails and no sunroof = Sport

    2017 Mazda5 - Clean Japanese Title or still some Fords parts left in it?

    MN roads would like a word with you, haha. Thanks for doing the research. Good to know when the standard versions inevitably snap, there's a better alternative.

    Two bent rims on a 2010 Mazda5 GT

    Are they the normal 17" silver wheels? Part# 9965126570 Rockauto has them for $105 before shipping. For the tires, unless you're replacing all 4, match the size of the 2 good tires.

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Looks good. Where did you route the rear camera? I've installed in other cars but can't figure out a good spot in this car. Also need a link for those sill plates :-)

    4-2 Airbag code on my Mazda5

    In the workshop guide, 4 and 2 means one of 3 things depending on what the WDS code reads: B104D - "Crash zone sensor assembly incorrect" B2226 - "Crash zone sensor system internal circuit disabled" or B2227 - "Crash zone sensor system communication error" Looks like the crash zone sensor is...

    2007 Mazda5...New Owner...Have some problems

    Those rear shock mounts must be made of glass. Same thing happened to mine a few months ago. Luckily it's a very easy fix to DIY.

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    No bends in the arm, the rubber must have been worn out even though it seemed solid enough whenever I would pry on the joints. I like to replace suspension in pairs so I just replaced both sides even though only one side had a loose ball joint. Now the car feels a little more solid, doesn't...

    2009 Mazda5 - poor sound quality

    Installed the 5.25 components last weekend. Mid range / bass is only a little better but the tweeters are a big improvement. If doing it again I would have tried one of the few 5x7 component kits out there for a little more punch. This is all w/ the stock headunit.

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    158K miles I would have replaced the control arms when I bought the car a year ago at 143K miles if I knew it would have made such a difference though.

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Confirmed that both the front and rear washer fluid pumps are accessible from the passenger side wheel well after loosening up the fender liner. Replaced the front pump with Trico 11-612 part#. Seems to work even better than before. Also replaced both front control arms and had to jack up the...

    2009 Mazda5 - poor sound quality

    They probably were blown or something else was wrong w/ them. The tweeters have an in-line crossover and should only be playing the high end. You could wire in aftermarket tweeters but would need to either reuse the crossovers or wire in a new one. The speakers can be replaced with 6x8 or 5x7...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    My front washer fluid stopped spraying over the weekend. The back sprayer works and the front wipers work, just no washer fluid in the front. Everything I read says to take off the front bumper in order to service but I was able to get a good look at the reservoir by removing the passenger...

    Can I swap leather seats from GT into a Sport

    Decided not to get the manual 5 after taking it for a test drive. But I did find some answers through research. Leather seats - should swap out but unless you move all the wiring and switches, the seat warmers will not work. Spoiler - Factory spoiler is screwed into top of hatch so there would...

    Can I swap leather seats from GT into a Sport

    Hello. Manual 5's are rare around here so when I bought mine a year ago the 2009 auto GT was the best I could find. I'm entertaining the idea of getting a 2009 with manual now and selling my automatic GT but there are some things I'll miss. Is there anything preventing me from swapping the...

    Problem with ignition switch

    Hello. I'm hoping someone can give advice or a link on how to access and replace the ignition switch. Car is 2009 Mazda5 GT ~150K miles Having an intermittent problem where about once a week I'll take the key out but the car thinks it's still in the ignition. It's an easy fix to just stick...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Holy hell that Toyota Alphard is amazing. The seating in your 5 is also really cool. Very jealous of your car collection.

    Cold engine blue light indicator; Fluid level higher after idling?

    No need to wait for the engine to warm up. Just start it and drive, but try to keep it under 3K RPM until it's warmed up. Oil level, check when it's cold. A 'little' over the max line is OK. AT fluid, check with engine running, car at operating temperature, parked on flat ground. If either is...

    2010 Mazda5 Front end clunking when turning on bumpy roads

    Agree about the stabilizer bushings. Had a similar noise and replacing the bushings fixed it. (pissed)But MAN that drivers side bushing was a pain to do.(pissed)

    2007 Mazda5...New Owner...Have some problems

    Sway bar bushings are possible without removing subframe just a pain. It took approx 2.5 hours to replace mine by feel and my hands were hurting for a day afterwards. It's really the drivers side that is a pain, the passenger is reachable from the wheel well with an extension and swivel. You...
