Actually, notsomuch. The money takes the sting away from paying payments when I did not have it... but I think HAVING the car back has helped heal the wound. It really is a nice car.

Deposited mine today...

I know there are a dozen or so in Atlanta, but I have never seen another on the road.

Red-5 is back in the garage! Braved Atlanta Halloween traffic to go get it, now that's scary. Hope everyone gets theirs back soon!

Spoke to my dealer. He said that the software fix should be to them by the end of the week and the heat sheild in next week. So a little more wait, but the light is at the end of this long tunnel. BTW, unrelated question. Before losing their 5, did anyone else see this problem? Under the gas...

I got my letter confirming $500 and warrentee reset. I'm really glad Mazda did this as an olive branch to us jilted 5 owners. Thanks to the community for all the support. I'm just looking forward to getting the 5 back.... I'm sick of this outback. (thumb)

Figure of speech man, but thanks. I hope it does as well.

(bang) Just the thought of mid-November gets my blood boiling. I'd really like some more news from Mazda USA at this point. The 24th is 4 business days away, I have hard time believing that the fix will be shipped within that time if it is not already on the boat.

That would be good. Can anyone else confirm?

No more news or complants huh? I just made my SECOND car payment on the 5 that is not in my possession. Just thought I'd throw that out there. (deadhorse

I'd demand an undamaged one, flood damage will show up on carfax and you will not be able to get squat for that trade in when you are done with it... if anything at all!

Extra Keys for the 5 are a nightmare. The dealer lost our second key, so they had to get us a replacement, was part of the "we owe". Took 3 trips over 2 weeks to get the damn thing programmed right, the chip code was not in their computers yet. And that was after I found one at another dealer...

I brought it up earlier, and it has come up here and there... but at what point with this would you all consider the Lemon Law? I wonder how much it would cost to get a lawyer to do the paperwork vs how much we are losing in monthly payments.... and add in the fact that now we'd need to buy...

I expected some sort of issue with a first model year car... just got more than I bargained for. Defects are to be expected .... defects that take a car out of service for a month I think are a different matter entirely. It's a long time no matter how you slice it. It remains to be seen how they...

Seems like most of the dealers are going the rental route.... and I honestly don't blame them. You can't sell a car that is out on loan. I'm more upset with Mazda for selling me a defective and potentailly dangerous product that is now out of my possession. Yes they moved fast on...

Fully loaded on a road trip within the first 500 miles of getting it. Got 32 mpg Hwy. Was shocked (boom01) -Johaan

Hi, first time Mazda owner here. Found your site on Yahoo. I'm more than a little miffed about this. I broke my rule about first model year cars on this because my wife fell in love with the little Red5. We bought ours in the first week of August, so I'm sure I was one of the first ones sold in...
