Welcome from a fellow Virginian (Reston) also named Dave. If you like your 5 half as much as I like mine you will be very happy.

I'm not sure what is best for California, but in N. Dakota in the winter if we were going out in the badlands away from the main roads we always packed emergency gear, water, food, sleeping bags etc. I don't know where you are going in the mountains but if you are getting off the main track you...

Virginia This the farthest South we have ever lived. Moved here from Maine, Chicago, South Dakota etc. Some winters we go the whole season without snow. This was not one of those years. The problem here is most peoples lack of experience driving in snow, ice. The 5 has been excellent, it...

Picture I am finally submitting a picture of my 5. It's actually Dark-grey-blue not white as shown. Click on the photo for a better view. This sunny Virginia, Capitol of the South.

DGF is still here I visit the site a few times a week. My wife and I did take the beautiful drive the full length of Skyline Drive in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. Speed limit 35mph. It was the peak of leaf season and the senery was spectacular. We stayed two nights in Charlottesville...

I am very happy with my 09 5. If I had a complaint I would have to agree that the accelerator is too close to the brake pedal and my size tens occasionally catch on the pedals.

First trip We drove from here in N.Va to about 20 miles north of Pittsburgh for the wedding of a cousins daughter, a trip of about 260 miles one way. I was amazed at how comfortable a trip it was. The 5 tracked like it was on rails. It had plenty of power for merging back onto the highway from...

Looks like mine I was going to post a picture of my 5 but now I don't have to. This looks exactly like mine.

Reply Thank you for your kind reply Sgt. My wife and I have a long history of driving vans starting with a new 1973 VW bus which we drove to Mazatlan Mexico from Chicago on our honeymoon. I loved the VW and honestly if they still offered them I would have bought one. We then bought a new Dodge...

I just bought a Mazda5 Touring, two weeks ago. I traded in a well used 1993 Ford conversion van. (Transmission about to go out) under the clunker program. They gave me $4500 for it. I am very happy with the Mazda. It is just the right size for my wife and me. Still getting used to it. My...
