lol... yeah me too. The nav system has turned out to be much harder to use than I expected.
I swear the voice recognition system doesn't like my voice. I can only get it to recognize home as the designation point one out of every four tries... (dunno)
Really? I haven't had any problems with mine yet. The only annoyance is after I let friends d!ck with it...I end up with 50 gazillion POIs on the screen. (chair)
Wuster, I see you're from Virginia...do you have an accent? Maybe that's why you're having problems with the voice recognition. (dunno)

Looks very nice. Just looks like a little bit larger version of the P5. That would be my "family car" if I had a family. (thumb)
Then you DO have an accent, the American accent. You need learn proper 'engrish'...turn your "L"s into "R"s like so; 'you make me laugh, laugh real hard' = 'you make me raugh, raugh rear hard'Wuster said:Nope, no accent that I can detect.I'm in Northern VA, so no southern draw like the folks further south in the state.
ROFL

Oh, it's way worse than you think.
I'm originally from Taiwan, so english is my second language. Then I went to college in West Virginia followed by years of working in the SW PA area.
You're lucky, I can even speak the language...
Ahh, the kids like to take turns shouting "I'm hungry" from the back. To turn it all off the voice command is "POI Off" When using voice commands, I have to use that on alot!
I've used the "gas" one pretty often when I'm not in an area that I'm familiar with.
I find that they have some strange POI's as automatic - ski resort? library? I guess maybe there are people that would need those as settings? I wish it had something like "mall" or "shopping"....but that's just me.

Thanks!
I'll post some pics of mine when it gets done - not likely til spring though. (sun)
Yahoo! Finally got our MAV
More than five months after ordering, we got our '5 last week! First stop was the tire shop where my steel wheels and Bridgestone Revo 1's were waiting (Awesome snow tires by the way - best I've ever owned).
Indigo Blue Mica
GT
5 speed manual
A/C climate control
+
205/55 R16 Bridgestone Blizzak Revo 1 snow tires on 16" steel wheels
Our kids love this car (though my daughter insists it's a VAN -- but we'll convert her yet). No mechanical problems or noises in its first week, but the doors have frozen shut twice now in relatively mild temperatures. We'll be going back to the dealer for that ASAP.
Next mods will be parafin undercoating, proper two-tone horns, and a light tint on windows. May later convert single CD to 6-CD/MP3.
Meanwhile, I have to armwrestle my wife daily for the keys, so I'd say it's equally loved by her, too.
Cheers! (cheers)

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum. I just got my Mazda 5 Touring in Greensilver. My husband and son love this car as much as I do. It is a pleasure to drive! All my friends can't believe how much room there is in this car. (We also have a Mazda 626.)
