I will try to take a pic this week, but I may have to email the pic as I am not the most electronically savvy person. I will see what I can do.

I have a similar set-up to Obiedobe, but put my fork mount in the center, so the rear tire rests on the fold-out 2nd row tray between my kids. I bolted the fork mount to a 1x3 and that is velcroed (not really a word, I know) to my plastic tray/cargo liner. I ride a 50 road, so no height issues...

Nice, very nice. What modifications had to be made to fit the MS3 system to the MZ5?

Blizzaks I have driven have very soft tread blocks, making the tires squirm a bit on dry and/or wet pavement before they settle and the car feels like it has grip. Blizzaks have great ice treads, but a better overall winter tire, in my opinion, is the Nokian.

This veteran PRO Rallyist and skier from New England has been a Nokian driver for years and its the only winter tire I put on my cars. Great snow driving, the new RSi is excellent on ice and on the mix of wet/slush/snow/ice we get here, I could not ask for anything more. Unlike other winter...

I sent you an email, as requested, regarding the rear sway bar.

On the underside of the rocker panels, there are plastic plugs. My guess is that the side sills have holes that line up with the holes covered by the plugs and new press-fit fasteners snap the sills into place. The front splash guards fit in the same manner. US Models: Base model = Sport...

Welcome, I am in the same situation with new 08 Sport w/manual. I am thinking of adding the color matched side skirts first. I believe they bolt/screw on in existing holes that are plugged when not used. I will take a closer look and let you know what I find. For me, I think the skirts make the...

You can always get a deal. You are better off working UP from invoice, rather than DOWN from MSRP. I got my 08 Sport w/manual for $200 over invoice with no hassles. A great source of pricing and dealing information/tactics is www.edmunds.com. Best of luck.

1. Which model / color / transmission / options / etc. did you get? 08 Sport/Galaxy Gray/Manual/Sirius, Rear Bumper Guard, Cargo Cover, Front Splash Guards 2. Whereabouts are you located? Metro West Suburb of Boston, MA 3. Is this your first Mazda? Nope - 2nd Gen RX-7, 1st Gen Protege, 323GTX...

Sorry no pic, but I saw the pic of the bike in the back and had to mentioned that I worked out how to fit my road (or cross) bike in the back of my new Mazda5 while the 2nd row is up and loaded with my two boys. I will see if I can add a pic. I am looking forward to going to cross races this...

Any chance you can get some calipers on it to get a true measurement? Or does someone else know the stock diameter?

Does anyone know if the shift boot on the manual transmission Mazda5 is the same as that on the Mazda3? I am new owner of an 08 and the pleather shift boot sticks out like an ugly cheap looking mistake. To me, it is not fitting for the car and I would like to get a leather boot in there. The...

Do you know what the diameter is (in mm)? Thanks

Agree with Fam. Bras cause scratches from sand and grit that gets trapped between the bra and paint. It does not matter how often you take it off and clean both the paint and underside of bra, all it takes is a bit of time on the road and the grit and sand will damage you paint finish. I am...

Just signed the deal and I will picking up my new 5 on Friday. Thanks again. I got an '08 Sport, 5MT, Gray.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your time in adding your experiences. I will go back to drive the 5 one more time (hopefully tonight or tomorrow night) and I will write back as a new owner. Thanks again

Thanks, if there were a Mazdaspeed5, there would be no question. My Golf 1.8T had 200 hp, so just a little less power/weight than a WRX. I am sure I would adjust to the 5 and just plan merging and lane changes a bit more instead of having power on demand. The manual would give me a bit more...

Hey everyone, I am considering a new 08 Mazda5 with manual transmission. For reference, my previous car had about 200 hp with slightly less than 3,000 lbs to pull. I am not new to Mazdas having had a 2nd Gen RX-7, a 323GTX and a 1st gen Protege in the past. I love the size, pricing and...
