    2nd to 3rd gear shifting problems. gear synchronizer maybe?

    I've got 89k and change miles. . .as for gear oil, there's Mazda OE fluid in there, not sure if/when it's been changed.

    What don't you like about your 5, and what fixes have you used?

    Hey - I just looked for the install sheet, and it looks like I tossed it. Ask your dealer parts guy for a peek. Just to clarify I have a Sport model, and no side sill extensions. See the pics I just snapped - sorry for the leafy mess on the rocker panel. on one of the shots I inserted a...

    What Do You Call The Mazda5?

    Mazda classifies the 5 a "minivan" in the States, but how do you describe it?

There's even a plastic clip on the base of the mud guard to secure the cut-end when you mount the flap in place. If I can find the instruction sheet from the...

    Honda Stream

    Thanks Sarge for the heart attack. . .as a former multi-Honda/Acura owner this would have been a really hard question to answer, if it were coming Stateside. What's the BHP option(s)? Given the target US market for this, we'd probably see an anemic Civic motor if it ever puddle-jumped...

    mudflaps for GT

    I just installed OEM front mud guards on our new M5 Sport - no side sill extensions though the installation sheet seemed easy enough to follow if you had to cut the trim. An easy 3-screw affair (that doesn't sound right. . .) and they were ready to go in :15min. You might want to check that...

    Danke, Todah, She-She, Arigato, Merci, y Muchas Gracias! We all seem so scattered about - I love that fact that I don't see MZ5's everywhere (yet), though it would be nice to meet up with some enthusiasts at , say, Lime Rock or Pocono for some track time. . .(drive2)

    Mazda5s on the track (videos and pics)

    Thanks for the list, and the track info. Not a member of that organisation, and almost a 5 owner! Back in '06 I chose an Odyssey over the 5 and have been on/off the fence ever since. Seeing your track-day in the family hauler has me pricing out a '09 5-spd Sport - last quote was $16,090 USD +...
