I had the bracket installed. It reduced the mirror vibratration to where it no longer annoys. Brian

Now THAT"S an opinion-drawing question. My spouse and I have found the Mazda Tom Tom system to be handy. That being written, if you are considering this as a simple add-on to your order, at the price we would not do it again and instead would rely on other means; either a portable device or a...

Mine was a June '12 build, August '12 delivery. Driver's side mirror vibrated at speed since new. Reported problem prior to 4 month scheduled maintenance (December). New mirror assembly installed without effect. Reported problem prior to April '13 scheduled maintenance and supplied latest TSB...

I just took a look at this link but could not determine whether it was available in the other interior colour (which I have). Can you advise? Brian

As no one else has mentioned it, according to the owners' manual you are NOT to use the standard spare to replace a front wheel; swap the flat front with a good rear and then install the spare in the rear. This should suggest that the spare is sufficiently sub-par that only in the gentlest of...

The correct answer has been given above...try one. The review testing with a db meter is really only a rough guide as it yields a relative loudness measure without detail on the frequencies that most contribute to the "noise". I only bring this up as I discovered a while back that this is an...

Why not??? The winter tires I bought for my Volvo in January 1999 (on rims) went with the car when I sold it in August 2012. Still, the local tire dealer told me in the spring of 2012 (inquired every spring since 2009 whether they were good for another winter) that they would need replacing that...

Having had a '13 GT since August, I would not recommend it. Yes, it gives a more integrated look than a portable Garmin unit. Yes, although the voice control is not truly prime time I have not met one that was, regardless of manufacturer. Still I have found the Tom Tom would have gotten me...

AVOID THESE AT ALL COSTS!!!! Not worth the money! It looked like the perfect solution to me too, but mine was nothing but problems. I was starry-eyed like any new owner when I picked it up from Mazda and failed to do a walk-around with a critical eye. So, within a week I noted the following...

No route Input While Driving - and Mazda Canada Sent an email to Mazda Canada concerning the inability to enter route change information while in motion. I am now reassured....sigh. I am writing to express my disappointment with the operation of the navigation system in my 2013 CX-5 (delivered...

I tested it this week. My low fuel light lit when there were two small segments remaining in the last quarter tank indicator. I then filled the tank to the brim. Based on my calculations, when the low fuel light came on I still had 5.5 liters or 1.2 imp.gal. remaining in the tank. This suggests...

You may be doing nothing wrong. A funny thing happened on the way to the NAC (National Arts Center) this afternoon while driving in "auto" mode in my GT. Noting that the engine note was a tad high while preparing to take the appropriate exit, I pulled the stick over to manual mode. This changed...

Until this week I have only washed the truck once this winter to discover that the local u-spray did a really poor job of removing winter grime. On this sunny Monday with temperature 15- and a wind-chill of 30- headed to the u-spray with a closed bucked of hot soapy water, another closed bucket...

I'm just sayin'....My spouse is 5' 0" with disproportionately long legs - she sits low. Prior to switching from a 2001 Miata to a 2010 MX-5, she discovered that in the newer car's interior design she could not see over the wiper blade from the passenger's seat; a deal breaker. I went to an auto...

I took my truck to an East-end Ottawa location (I live in the area). You are never invited to observe the application in the bay so there is no way to determine the techniques used. There ARE holes drilled and then closed with a plastic plug; and these are visible when the doors are open. I have...

Rust Check in mid November. Used this product on my 626 from 1990-1999 with no rust. Same with my S70 1999-2012. Other products are likely just as good. Waste of cash if you update your ride frequently. I hold on to mine longer. Did NOT use it on my K wagon 1982-1990 and had to do rust work and...

No idea. The car was dealer serviced for its life. I have never been mechanically adept. Brian

I have to wonder where the standard comes from, but it is likely more a Mazda "standard" than industry. My Volvo that the 5 replaced had a 12 month/12k km service interval. Brian

Worked for me. 225/70 R16 Xice on black steel rims on my GT. Higher profile for plowing thru Canadian snow - and cheaper too. Brian
