    I used to think like you do - I used to think "I can modulate my own braking just fine, thanks!" But consider this: When you're in a panic stop, you are by definition panicking. Years ago I lived in San Francisco, where it gets rain during a specific season and almost no other time... the...

    Look at that baby !!!

    Truth be told, I do like the way the white looks... for about 10 seconds. Then it starts to look dirty. I often wonder why nobody ever comes up with paint the color of dirt. :D

    Automatic Transmission - 4 spd vs. 5 spd

    Try looking here: http://www.autotrader.com/ We found ours there. Apparently they're near-impossible to find in our area with a manual transmission.

    M5 roof rails? Why not N. America?

    I'm not sure I believe that. They come from the same factory, and it's be an additional expense to make different ones for different markets. Small expenses add up in manufacturing. Think about it - $10 extra on 500,000 units = $5,000,000.

    What IS the Mazda5, Anyhow?

    I've taken to telling people it's a "Not Exactly". It's not exactly a station wagon, it's not exactly a minivan, it's not exactly a sporty-ish midsize sedan, it's a Not Exactly. What do you call it? (scratch) Heheheh...

    Mazda5 POLL: What gender are you?

    Awww... I had a 1990 Mustang LX 5.0 Coupe that I bought new. Had it until it was stolen in 1995. Best car I ever owned. Sorry, Mazda guys... I like the 5, it's damned cool for a... whatever it is, but I liked the Mustang better.

    Mazda5 POLL: What gender are you?

    Heheh... The Mz5 is actually the OL's car, so I put down woman, but I'm a guy.

    Chevy Orlando based: Buick Business MPV concept

    Man, that's fugly. Also, unless those seats are sized for the average Chinese, that thing's gotta be a heck of a lot bigger than the 5.

    Definitely one of it's strongest selling points for us.

    We Got It

    Heh... like I said, I could be wrong. All the manufacturers are having trouble moving product right now. I'm just weird - weird like all of you... I like the functionality of it over all other considerations. It's nice that it is also good looking, zippy and relatively inexpensive, but if it...

    Automatic Transmission - 4 spd vs. 5 spd

    I know a Mazda parts guy on another forum. This is what he had to say about the Mz5: Good enough for me.

    We Got It

    Delivered to us on Saturday by my friend of 30 years. (shocked) We ended up buying from a dealership that was 600+ miles away to get one with a manual transmission (Gah! California SUCKS!!!) but it was fortunately not far from where my friend lives, and he's just gotten laid off so he offered...

    Mazda5 advertising

    I for one, would like to see a Mazdaspeed version. Not for myself, but I think it'd boost sales if a twin-turbo intercooled version with a stiff suspension could be had. Heck, that'd one hell of a fun grocery getter. :D

    Mazda5 advertising

    Well, perhaps I mis-typed. I don't believe they are a sales failure, I just suspect it. Also, these are trying times for automakers - nothing is selling very well now. Unless one of us is in the boardroom at Mazda, the only real barometer we have for the success or failure of the Mz5 is...
