    the 500 mile test drive; impressions

    Go ahead, you won't regret it. We're on our second Mazda5 now, gave up a leased 2007 for a 2010 because they were getting rid of the 2010's to make way for the 2012's. The disadvantage was that not much choice anymore on the 5's remaining, I would love to have one with the Comfort package but...

    2012 Mazda5

    We just bought a 2010 Mazda 5 GS (Sport to you in the U.S.), I hope that by the time we're ready to change cars in a couple years time the smiley face will be updated to whatever design language Mazda would have by then. Hopefully for the better!! :)

    A better way to keep the rear window clear?

    Speaking of wipers for the rear hatch, I found the OEM Mazda wipers to be the best of the ones I tried so far. I bought a replacement one from Canadian Tire, looked liked a perfect fit but couldn't wipe either the top or the bottom part of the window. The OEM is cheaper too!!! Unfortunately I...

    Convincing My Wife

    Fortunately my wife was not injured in any way, the truck tore out the bumper and headlight. They were turning left at the same time and the truck turned into my wife's lane, she stopped when she saw the truck's too close but still got hit. The body shop said it may be done in two to three weeks...

    Convincing My Wife

    My wife and I are now driving a Honda Civic because my wife got into a crash and the Mazda5 is in the Body Shop. I can't believe how pampered we were by the Mazda5, especially that the Civic we are driving now is the base model. No auto climate control, no auto headlights, no auto wipers and no...

Mine was included and was promptly replaced by Destination Mazda when I called the service adviser about it. It took a couple...

    Block Heater Plug Location

    I was wondering if my battery needs replacement last winter because the car was hard to start on really cold days. It turns out I didn't have any engine block heater most of the time because it was defective and was replaced under warranty.

    Rain-X Question

    I use the windshield washer fluids too, summer and winter ones. I noticed they changed the winter ones to clear not the yellow color it used to be. I hate the yellow especially when it freezes on the back bumper, looks like somebody peed on the bumper!!! hehe (canada)

    Rain-X Question

    I put it on the inside windshield so it wouldn't frost during winter. It also makes scraping ice on the outside much easier.
