Actually, we're envious for you manual tranny owners because I had a car with a short-shifter before and boy, is it a joy to row through the gears. But having an auto Mazda5, that's not gonna happen.
Anyone used Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S Tires? I was searching for tires and came across this one. According to Tire Rack and other reviews on the internet, It has pretty good wet, dry and snow traction.
It's quite difficult to make a decent picture of a Phantom Blue Mazda5. It's either too dark or too green in pictures. The best I have seen of this color is on the video on Inside Line by Edmunds.com.
Shucks, I had an '84 Corolla Liftback with short-shifter once. How I wish I could have something that shifts as smoothly as that car. And I couldn't get one now coz I have an auto tranny Mazda5. (hand)
Yup, there are times when I wished for a larger van/ suv but the Mazda5 is the right size for me most of the times. And I do wish I could get a manual tranny but I'm not the only who's going to drive it, so auto it is (sad1)
Does anyone else notice a more than passing resemblance between a Sienna and a Mazd5 from the front? Especially the headlights and grille on the latest models.
