2006 4-speed automatic, purchased Dec 06 in California (and remember we have tougher emission standards here). Exactly 3-1/2 years later my totals are: 17833 miles (yup, only that many; I try not to use much gasoline....) 682.119 gals = 26.14 mpg I always fill the tank till the nozzle shuts...

Bulwinkl, you've got a real kindred spirit here! I haven't been here in the forum for quite awhile, or I would've immediately replied, because I had even posted my own complaint about this very same issue earlier on this forum! (and I continue to be surprised that we sufferers apparently are...

1. Which model / color / transmission / options / etc. did you get? '06 Touring / Cardinal Red / Automatic / Options = wheel locks, cargo net, cargo cover, all-weather mats, rear bumper step strip, Mazda seat covers & windshield shade 2. Whereabouts are you located? California's Central Coast...

I guess I'm in the minority here, having actually given my 5 a "real" name. She is Felicity, as it means "bringer of happiness," because this vehicle met so many of the criteria I needed/wanted in a car!

Congrats! Love the photo with your "name" emblazoned on the wall! And love those roof rails, too: why didn't they provide those for the US?????

Glad to see this post, Dan, 'cause I'm seriously thinking about getting the mask too. I've never paid any attention to these things on cars before, so my basic question is: Is it real fast and easy for a mechanical nincompoop such as myself to attach it and take it off? These Mazdas have such...

Re the 605: Nope. I didn't dawdle in my new 5 down in SoCal (I was born & raised in LA area and got out of there decades ago, as soon as I hit college age!). I kinda thought the background in the one pic with the open slider would be a giveaway (assuming the photos are enlarging OK). For...

If you are interested in a new 2006 Cardinal Red Automatic with a moonroof in California, as of Dec 7 per phone call with MazdaUSA (they are at 1-800-639-1000), there appear to be less than half a dozen left. So now I feel even MORE JAZZED about getting mine this week~~~ (alright) (breakn)...

Yes, MORE INFO PLEASE! Could we hear from more of you fellow owners if you have had any of this problem? And do keep us posted too. Jandree22, no update since the 20th...you've gassed up, yes? And??? I'll soon be putting in my first tankful, and from this thread I'm already wondering what...

Wellll, I'm not married so I'm nobody's wife; and I'm not currently any guy's girlfriend...tho my new 5 (see my other post with first pics) may attract the guys even more, even as an automatic, ha ha! Cheers!

(thumb)(cool) OK, guys & gals, you can now formally and fully welcome me into this club: I bought my new Mazda 5 yesterday and drove it home this afternoon! All in all, this is just the type of vehicle that I have been looking for (2-3 years), and this 5 is just the one I wanted! After...

Re: Re: Flying from SFO to Long Beach... So I'm finding 2 cars that meet my criteria at a dealership down in LA. I'm on the phone with the internet rep, talking about how if I buy one there I'd probably be going down on the train, and would they give me a lift from the train station. Oh sure...

Thanks Robin! Yes, I do hope/plan to post a pic or 2 when I get it. After benefitting from the contributions of others here, I do feel obliged (well ok, eager too!) to reciprocate, assuming i successfully upload.... At least I'm getting closer to a purchase. I've decided on my...

I was just now on the phone with Mazda headquarters down in Irvine (puttin' them on the hunt for an '06 Touring AT for me, tee hee!), and the guy I talked to says they are extending the $1000 MAC financing incentive that, apparently, didn't actually end yesterday after all. This appears to be...

After lurking here for a few weeks I am now a new member. Thanks for all the info you folks have given me here! I test drove a 5 for the second time yesterday. This test was primarily to drive it home so I could: --See how it fits in my garage, and --Load it with the materials I need for...
