    US Mazda5 Changes for 2010

    Ford is supposedly considering bringing their popular S-Max to the US as part of their new "one ford" initiative. it will still probably have hinged rear doors so it won't be as useful as the 5 and its sliders. Doesn't look as sporty either. There's also the new Ford Transit Connect if...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    i used my 5 to promote my products in front of one of my retailers. we installed a sony snaplap photo kiosk that slides out of the side door where customers can print out their photos off their digital camera memory cards. can't do this with a scion xB or a ford transit connect and a regular...

    Promotional Full Vehicle Wrapped 5's

    this full vehicle wrap, including side windows and rear window with the perforated wrap, costs $2,500 per car, which in my mind is half the price of a full color one page ad in the industry trade magazine. i've heard of people wrapping their car just to change colors, then peeling it off after...

    Promotional Full Vehicle Wrapped 5's

    it's a 3M vinyl that is printed on with a big plotter type printer. that is then affixed to the car like a big sticker. it goes over the paint and actually protects the paint underneath. pretty durable too; we run it through automatic car washes. should last about two years. we had it...

    Promotional Full Vehicle Wrapped 5's

    I wanted to share our 5 that we're using for company promotional purposes. It's a 08 Touring that I bought originally as a warehouse hauler for my company, because it was so versatile with the large flat cargo area that could be quickly flipped back to passenger hauling duty. and the fuel...

    5-speed versus automatic

    thanks for the quick feedback. yeah i guess i'd be best served to actually go drive a manual. before i bought my auto 5, i rented one for a week to make sure i liked it (hertz). because no one rents a 5-speed, i'll have to try and get the most out of the 5 minute dealer test drive. the...

    5-speed versus automatic

    i wanted to know from people who have driven both the manual and automatic 5's. aside from the few oddball touring models out there, i realize all manual 5's can only be had in the sport models. i currently have a 08 touring with an automatic and debated whether to get a sport with manual...

    US Mazda5 Changes for 2010

    i asked this same question to an insider who said the new redesign proposal of the 5 was deemed so "silly" by focus groups that they had to go back to the drawing board. so we won't see the new one till at least 2011. he's seen it and said it was pretty bad. hopefully they'll get it right, or...
