I have the same thing on my 08, I smell it outside all the time. I have not noticed a level drop in 4000 miles, though. Dealer also check it and said it was fine.

Got it fixed and cant believe what it was Every time we brought it in they claimed they could not replicate the noise. I had to take time off of work and take the service manager down one real bad road and he heard it on every bump. They took the whole thing apart and greased this and that...

Go to your bank/credit union and have them set you up with a bank note for the total amount you have/or willing to spend. This is basically a like a check, but with a not to exceed amount on it. You can write it out for what ever amount you finally negotiate on. I bought my last truck this way...

Isn't Kia & Mazda linked some how? I had a Sportage back when it first came out and it had many Mazda 626 components as I recall. It was a pretty good little truck too, I put 60K on it over 3 years and it was as tight as the day I bought it and the only vehicle I have owned that the stock...

Getting windows film tinted is a given down here in Flatistan. It has been years since I have seen issues with bubbling or pealing.

Me too!!! Thanks for posting the pics

Lets just say a vehicle without sliding doors was NOT an option.

Yea that area is REAL low. I am not much better at 12' though. When I fish I can stand in the boat in one of those bayous and see across to the other. I meant to take my dirt bike over there on Thursday to check it out as we had about a 4' surge from Ike and I'll bet most of those roads went...

I just seems like I would have to pull the lever the instant I step on the gas or its too late. I am still not used to it to say the least. I have a little un/underdeveloped subdivision that I play in and 2nd feels a bit too tall for a few of the hard corners or turn abouts, but 1st does not...

No good ideas, sorry, but in the same boat. (hear ya)

And there in lies the beauty of the 5, no?

Yup, Light metallic blue is what I was thinking as well. Funny we wanted a silver/gray, but the white has really grown on us. So that's vinyl, I thought it was paint. The grill area must have been a real bear. Looks good to me. So hot days are bad? Since its vinyl, can you remove it? I like...

I have taken the 5 out for a few spirited romps (dont tell Ogrespouse, ok) I have a hell of a time not over revving this thing in 1st. Any decent amount of throttle taking off from a stop and BAM I am at red line before I can pull the lever. I love using the manual mode to hold 2nd or 3rd thru...

2008 Touring AT A/C blasting all the time. We have seen right around 25 mpg on 2 tanks with city, rural driving mix. I was very happy to see 28 mpg on a 600 mile round trip driving 80mph and with 80 miles of 6 passenger city/rural use in that mix as well. I was quite surprised how low the AT...

Good for you GABadger. Our dealer/service center SUCKS. They acknowledged the shake the last time we brought it in and stated that WE had to buy new tires (on a 3000 mile car) to try to fix it. I was not satisfied with that answer, so I had my wife bring it in again. Now they claim they cant...

I love those stripes, I wonder if I could pull that off with the white color?

I wish we could get a hitch like that. BTW who is skinny enough to fit in the 2nd row middle? Do you have a 3rd row as well? If so that is a LOT of people AND you get to tow too.

From what I found when I managed to unstick mine; that is exactly what occurs. There are blocks or tabs in the screw pattern of the cap and it gets cocked & those blocks get jammed in the filler neck pattern. If you don't panic (this is tough BTW) and keep trying to unscrew it you can (at...

I wish I could say our issues are related to the cold, . . . . . . . . but I don't think mid 90's is cold.

Our dealer still does not seem to "know" about this cap problem, Gawd I want to strangle these guys. Our 5 is back in the shop AGAIN for the 50mph shake and rear suspension noises and the dealer is still telling me there is no new gas cap and nothing from Mazda on any problems. Is there a...
