    O2 Sensor replacement - How many?

    Anyone replace the O2 Sensor? What mileage? How many sensors are there? I did my Acura Integra at 100k/16yrs old as a precaution to avoid trouble with California. Have not touched the M5 of 2013. Please share your experience/advice. Thanks.

    Gas Mileage of Grand Caravan Vs Mazda5!

    Thanks - the youtube Scotty Kilmer was saying until the warranty - 3/4yrs? I searched the local junkyard - PicknPull - there is no Mazda 5 inventory - 1st or 2nd gen!

    Cargo Space?

    The review says 44 and 97 cubic feet: <https://www.edmunds.com/mazda/5/2013/review> My research before buying the car - 89 cu ft with 2nd row seat down. I tried measuring it - came to about 55 cu ft - it's a bit tricky due to curves! But 89/97 is a bit high?

    Gas Mileage of Grand Caravan Vs Mazda5!

    Thanks u for your detailed analysis. I am saddened that M5 is unavailable with Skyactiv engine in the US, Its no longer available in Canada and OZ. Which countries still sell the Skacitv version? ICE engines - each are different just like people - because no matter what I do to my stock...

    Gas Mileage of Grand Caravan Vs Mazda5!

    Good catch - my revised estimate is around 26 mpg. When I picked the car, it was showing 22mpg - it went to 28+ and came down to 27. So its 26 mpg with two passengers and 45cu ft of cargo. @teetee1 - I do this 1k drive periodically - it gives me on avg just under 28mpg. This is news to me ->...

    Cargo carrier / Roof rack?

    I ended up in renting a minivan as I was unaware that the luggage could have fit in the M5! On the way back, I saw someone driving a Honda Element with suitcases on it - there is a cross bar that holds it from slipping as if it doesn't even need to be secured. Of course it was till tied. The...

    CV Axle repair

    I was going to do the same with FEQ parts - then I learned that 10% of the time the part has issues. So I had it repaired using parts from RockAuto - BeckAnley. Mind you inner boot is scarce elsewhere including Mazada dealer. We might run into issues with parts on M5 with time.

    CV Axle repair

    Thanks - what brand did u get? Did u change the axle or reboot? This turned out to be the most difficult repair in my entire car history - as earlier "they just reboot it for under $100 a side " for my Acura Integra M5 axle is not shared with M3 or others - so reman parts are rare. So is...
