    2012 mazda 5 rear tow hitch installed

    I use a bike rack on my golf, can not beat it. Put the hitch on, don't use for towing, but, bike rack and you will be happy.

    Goodbye Fellow MZ5'ers

    I always regret selling a vehicle after it is gone. Just the way it works. But, with a shinny new truck in the driveway, your regret should be short and passing. Good luck with the new ride.

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    More cars have been traded or sold due "to the itch" than anything else. Makes no financial sense and usually defies all forms of reason, but, powerful it is! If you could find a "potion" to counter the itch, you would be a hero to many a car guy. (and their wifes)

    I think my Wolo horns suck

    Seriously, you are from Texas, there has got to be something out there that will make you proud? Just have to look in the right junkyard? And or marine salvage yard!

    I think my Wolo horns suck

    You know, I would never have thought anything of the horn until I read your original post about how weak they are. Every time I use the horn I am reminded how weak they truly are. Thanks for that! Not sure it annoys me enough to get off my ass and fix it, but, annoys me it does.

    That sir would be a bad day. But, as they say it can always be worse.

    Suspension choices - going stout, not comfy

    I have bought from them as well, mostly good experience.

    New Member - Mazda 5

    Does anyone even have any snow this year? We are sitting at 55 degrees. Not conducive to a white Christmas, that is for sure. I have not even hauled up the winter tires, there is nothing in the forecast as far out as it goes.

    That is the correct way to go for snow, taller tire. Not that we will see any my way this year. From a 55 to a 60 is almost a rounding error, you will be fine. And, welcome to the forum...

    Ouch! That would be a bad day, of course it was the wife's fault as you certainly would have avoided! Or at least that should be your story and stick to it...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Got the wheel from taska parts, was around $240 shipped. It was a straight swap. I was just not used to how the Japanese build these things, I work on German cars, there is a learning curve! If I figured it out, so can you...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    And today, the pollen filter got swapped. I suspect it was original, as it was that bad. I left that 4th PITA screw out, I figure 3 is good enough. Could not get it to go back in, got ticked off and knew to walk away before damage is done in the name of frustration.

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    mazda 5 Touring or GT are leather, so that is what the replacement must have been? Thought about the mazda speed three wheel, but, wanted fresh goodness. At $240, made sense. Now about those seats, need to find me some GT black leather seats with the lumbar supports. Have considered the...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    I got the stock wheel in leather from mazda, $240 shipped. I have the old one, I was just going to toss it in the trash? There was a plastic piece on both the front and back, and both sides had button assemblies, all carefully removed, some screws holding some pieces, others snapped in place...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Received my leather steering wheel today. A sweet upgrade to the sport trim mazda 5. Just something about a leather wheel makes it feel a lot better driving, but, my wife thinks I am nuts for thinking that way. Annoying taking the wheel apart to get the pieces on the new wheel. Took a...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Was the first and last time I did it. I am sure would be quicker if I had the video and if I had done it before...E46 changed the design, substantially.
