am I on the first 10 owner list?

Got my 5!

My wife and I picked up our Mazda 5 last night! The weather wasn't cooperating (very windy with some heavy thunderstorms) but that didn't stop us.

When we picked up the car it had 27 miles on it. We put on an extra 50 bringing it home and showing it off to some friends. Our friends sat in the 2nd row, and they kept commenting on how quiet the car was. I loved driving the car home...but my wife will be the one to do most of the driving in it from now on. Maybe she'll let me drive it sometimes

Also, our A/C worked great last night, but it wasn't very warm (just very humid) at 9pm when we drove the car home.

Dont worry the AC is suprisingly great. I was worried as my 04 Mazda3 has a pretty weak AC, but I drove it home monday in 97 degree weather with it on level 2 (of 4 i think).

Well we finally got our call that the car will be ready today at noon!!! We thought we would have to wait until end of August!! Just in time too as we are leaving from Toronto to Montreal as soon as we get the car. We had a rental booked as our old car was too small to travel with us and the kids.

Pictures to come once I take them!!

Happy driving!

Just to clarify: it's a Mazda Canada promotion, so we won't be getting free Roots bags here in the US.

Isnt Canada a state in the US? I should still get a bag. Then again, ive never heard of roots unless we are talking about a slavery movie.

That means everyone in canada can buy a 5 and get a bag, but what about the 400 bags left?

Be happy with your pink 5, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Go pink!

You leave my country alone and I'll leave your car alone!

BTW Roots is a very popular "brand" up here in Canada. It's like an upmarket Eddie Bauer.

If i had a pink 5 i would i be happy as then you would think it was purple.

Woohoo. Picked up my white touring with NAV tonight! Didn't get out of the dealer til close to ten at night.
Here's the only pic I have right now. I'll take more in a couple of days.
Only 17 miles on the clock when I rolled it off the lot. And that's after I took it on a 15 mile test drive. (nana)

Perfecto, I just picked up my roots bag this morning. I received a phone call from the dealer that the bag arrived. It was wrapped with a sticker with my name. The dealer must either send away for it or Mazda Canada just ships it out.

Hi to everyone from Edmonton. Decided to join up as we have picked our 5-GT auto today. Carbon Grey. Wanted white pearl but, we already have an Arctic Frost 2004 Sienna. And with the tint , this color looks awesome! Miserable and cold here today. 8 degrees celcius. But i'm all warm inside now! Now, I'm on a mission to get this Roots bag!

 

[miatafied]

Congrats! Carbon is an awesome choice. 8 degrees celsius?!!! (boom04) Wow - It's been so hot here, I can't imagine that!
