    Lost a tire to winter roads last night

    I put about 1,000 miles on my new Dunlops over the past three days. They're an excellent tire, with good dry and wet grip, and a quiet ride.

    Lost a tire to winter roads last night

    So my new (to me) 2007 MZ5 GT lost a tire to the winter road gods last night. I don't know what I hit, but something slashed a two-inch gash in the side wall of the right front tire, while I was pulling in to a gas station. There's no visible damage to the wheel. Changing a tire in the cold...

    How do I find the ESN for my OEM Sirius system?

    I actually ended up calling Mazda and they had it.

    How do I find the ESN for my OEM Sirius system?

    I called customer service and the sequence of buttons they gave me (tune to 184, hit the disp button) does not work. Any other ideas?

    Can I have Sirius and an iPod?

    I bought a pre-owned 2007 Mazda5 GT over the weekend. It has installed a Sirius tuner, which is great. I want to use my iPod as well, however. As I understand it, the Mazda iPod integration module uses the same input as the Sirius tuner, is that correct? Any clues as to how to integrate both...

    What is the lowest temperature recorded on your Mazda5?

    Saw 6 F last night here in Philadelphia. Ouch!

    Newbie shopping for CPO Mazda5's

    OK, I bought the car. It's a gray 2007 GT (LOVE the espresso brown leather), 16k miles. I paid $13k plus tax (7%) title and fees. I traded in my 2004 Saab 9-5 Arc sedan, which I loved, but was simply too small. I had to drive about 120 miles to do the deal, and I got a good two-hour drive...

    Anyone add the Mazda drop-down DVD player?

    I'm 5-shopping, and a DVD player in the ceiling would be a great addition for road trips. Has anyone added the OEM DVD player to a 5 with a moon roof? What was the cost? Difficulty? Alternatives? thanks, elbastardocalvo

    Baby seats and the Mazda5

    I will second that. We've had three britax seats, and they have been excellent. They're a bit larger than some others on the market, but they are very comfortable and very protective.

    Newbie shopping for CPO Mazda5's

    OK cool, thanks. I happen to love the brown leather. Since my original post I found a 2007 GT for less than the other two, with 16 k miles. GT's in 2007 have xenons, correct? Looks to me like the most enticing of the three. I will likely go shopping tomorrow PM, and will post the...

    Newbie shopping for CPO Mazda5's

    the bald-headed bastard, yeah... Long story. Anyway, with the added warranty for the 2006's, the warranty is actually LONGER on the 2006 than on the 2007. What kind of growing pains did the 2006 have? Also, was leather an option on Touring models in 2007? Or do they all have cloth? thanks...

    Anyone know why Crutchfield says the Pioneer doubt-DIN navigation head units won't fit in a Mazda5?

    Newbie shopping for CPO Mazda5's

    Hello, everyone. I'm shopping for Mazda5's for my growing family; it's a unique car, to the say the least. We typically buy certified used cars (we're on our third CPO Saab, a 9-5, which has simply become too small). A local Mazda dealer has two interesting cars that I am going to look at...
