Agree with most of what you said, but SUVs have become so stupid they don't even have good ground clearance anymore. They are the new definition of soccer mom.

Yeah 90210. Some cameras are better than others, some displays are also better than others. This guy I saw baking up into traffic. Almost got hit. Cause by the time he saw it on the camera the car was really close. Simple matter of looking down the road on your windows while banking up. Maybe...

^Agree. I think much of the tech offered is just to lure people. I have seen already some people baking up into incoming traffic because all they are looking at its the darn camera. All the tech in the world won't fix stupid.

That's a big hands job! I was so used to wash my miata, I almost walk away from the 5 half way into the wash.

Awesome!

Thanks. Got it on ebay.

Tints are up!

Lol, I'm one of those! I have seen the wheels section here and even searched for other mazda 5 with aftermarket, and I didn't like any one have seen so far.

Great review, definitely a good eye opener!

More info on the LED system plz. Price? Where to buy? Ease of instalation?

Nice!

I'm sure the 6 it's more fun. I hope they bring the diesel engine on the new 6 wagon.

Looks awesome! I had to get rid of the drivers mat cause was interfering with my clutch pedal. This seems like a better option.

That's what in saying. People don't know the 5 this list sales. The only reason I ended up with one was because the mazda 6 wagon I wanted in manual was 3 states away. Still, to get the 5 in manual had to drive 1 hour each way. Now I think the 5 is a better choice for families than the 6 wagon...

The way I see it, if I have to make a trip, I rent a car or van. Beats putting miles in your own vehicle. Plus you don't have to drive around on a huge vehicle all year for those 2-3 travels. I'm also happy to see I'm not the only SUV hater.;)

Perseptions can be "adjusted". I totally agree with you on the van thing. Marketers need to come up with a good way too twist that into an advantage.

^Bingo!

Exactly, good marketing is expensive, but all they needed was to get the ball rolling. After enough families buy them others will follow. I would avoid the word "minivan" like a rabid dog. Instead market it as a car with sliding doors.

Is because a fashion statement. The progression of the family vehicle was, sedan, wagon, van, minivan, SUV. None use legwarmers anymore, but some of the 80s fashion trickles down here and there in the fashion world. I think the 5 been almost a car, had a marketing advantage if done right. Most...

There is no real market in the states for the 5 cause the is no real marketing toward consumers. I'm in the marketing field and I see it everyday. People will buy s*** if properly marketed. The reason SUVs are so popular is not because they are so good, it's because they found a way to make a...
