I notice mine go off after just the one click or more up on the parking brake. So sounds normal

No I had the 2.2, non turbo sedan.

I have a manual transmission and this is my first car with the hla. I really don't like this feature. I have never owned an automatic transmission car, so I know how to get a manual transmission going on a hill. The problem is here in Houston there is no need for it. It will activate on a slight...

oem filter for me. I started out using aftermarket filters on my 90 626. But with ticking noises on cold start up I switched to mazda filters. It helped this tremendously. And now the filters do not cost much more than filters at a parts store. And depending on the filter even less money...

Very likely. I have been driving mazdas since 1985. I love a sporty driving car. 1985 Mazda GLC. Came with 5 year unlimited milage warrantee. Never had a chance to use it. All had manual transmissions and exceeded gas mileage estimate. With the exception of the rx7. which got average mpg for...

At stores I always park as far away as possible to avoid dings. But be careful if its down hill in the parking lot. Yesterday I parked at a store, I did notice it was downhill, but looked around for carts and did not see any. So I went in anyway. When I came back I was sitting in the drivers...

I am starting to figure all that out. On top of this it sometimes switches to Recirculation from fresh on its own. Just annoying to me. I like to keep my eyes on the road and just move my temp knob without other things happening.

My manual heat and a/c controls are annoying. I like to control when the a/c comes on. In the morning its cold I turn my heat on. Then if I have it on vent and get warm and turn my temperature control to cold, my a/c automatically come on. Its still cold outside I just don't want heat anymore...

After a 60 mile trip in my 2.0 manuel transmission, going 60 to 65. I ended up with 45 mpg.

Ok, thanks for that information Jon.

Those are nice speakers, i have them in my 626. I was thinking of getting the polk mobile monitors. Just wondering you said you used spade plugs to connect to your harness. So were you able to connect the new speakers without cutting into the factory wiring? I was putting off getting new...

I ended up in Galveston yesterday. On my way back to Houston I reset the average mpg as soon as I got off the island. When I took the exit at Westpark and 59 in Houston, my average was 45.3 mpg. It is about 60 miles. I drove with the windows (most of the way) up and A/C off ( it was a bit warm...

I think dealer is best, because mazda has the best parts for my car. But check around because not all dealerships charge the same price. I went to a dealer in Portland for new exhaust manifold studs and bolts for my 90 626. The dealer parts department told me $120 for all of them. I had one...

Thanks for the information. I am pretty sure the Mazda will hold up well over time, as long as you change and keep oil in your engine, and use genuine mazda replacement parts. This is my 5th mazda and all have been exceptional in the reliability department. I started with an 85 mazda GLC. It...

I will be detailing my car using a clay bar. I have not had a shiny car in a long time. My last car that I still have is a 90 626 with 350,000 miles. Its a beater but runs great. But for the new car I just need a little advise since its been a long time since I have waxed a car. If needed do I...

Depends on how someone rates a vehicle to where it will land on the list. The honda came out number one because it does everything everything well but nothing exceptional. Well for me I wanted a drivers vehicle with good mpg and fun to drive. It also had to have a 6 speed manual transmission. I...

Wish I could roll up all the windows shortly after turning off my car. I usually forget to roll them up after turning off the car. Then press the button to on without starting to roll them up. But sometimes forget to turn back to off.

I am wanting to upgrade my speakers on my car. I really want to use a wiring harness for it, but it seems there is not one made for this car. I have not opened up my doors to see what the plug looks like. Do you think its just a matter of time before one is made? Or do you think they will just...

I also had a hard time deciding between the 6 and the cx-5. The 6 I can get the 2.5 engine with the manual transmission. On the Cx-5 I had to get the 2.0. But at least it keeps me out of trouble and is still fun to drive. But it came down to what fits in the garage. My stop post to garage door...
