Got my 5!

[Wuster]

Cool, welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the welcome.

This car reminds me a lot of the Dodge Colt in terms of roominess. Of course, it has a lot more style and drives so much better! But, like the Colt, its size is very deceptive.

I only had the Mazda5 on the highway for a brief time during the test drive, so I'm looking forward to taking mine on the highway.

Well a couple of days before the wife's b-day and it's done. We ordered our 5 today. GT 5 spd, in brilliant black. We got $200 off and got the dealer to throw in rear bumper cover, cargo net and the rear cargo cover. Too boot, the dealer only asked for $500 down. We're freak'in pumped. Everyone on this forum has been unbelievably helpful and I would like to say thanks. So...THANK YOU!! Now to make this day complete all that has to happen is that the Shithawks have gotta win the Superbowl. GO HAWKS GO!!!

Congrats on your order - sorry about the Seahawks though.... they got robbed... I'm glad to hear though you got your dealer to through in a few extras. We were not so lucky... but post-recall, I think you can squeeze a bit more out of them. Welcome to the 5 club!! You'll love it. (canada)

I've had my 5 for 5K miles now - still lovin it!! Put the roof racks on this weekend - even though I was hoping for the eurorails - the oem roof rack makes it look pretty sporty. IMHO.

yup the Hawks got screwed. The Ball DID NOT cross the line on the 1st TD, did you see the ump . One arm up and THEN the other. I've never seen a TD called like that!! As well, they got screwed on 2 BAD penalty calls. That said, the Hawks didn't make the key plays that you need to make @ the big dance. It was nice to see "the Bus" retire w/ a ring, although the conspiracy theorists among us are wondering. Glad to hear you're loving your 5. We'll be driving our 5 on to the island when we get it, as the wife is from Port Alberni. I think we'll have to head out to Long Beach just to enjoy the road

did you hear about the recall for the 5 and wont be selling any more until they fix the problem. this is what i read the paper. Mazda is halting sales of the 2006 Mazda5 and recalling 2,700 of them because an exhaust-system problem can cause fires. 10-2-05. it is in the chicago tribune 2-5-06 paper just wanted to let you know. wilson

The cars were all recalled and fixed in December.

 

[theweev]

the recall has already happened and Mazda pulled all it's vehicle for over a month to remedy the problem. the problem was caused by heat build up caused by people driving the manumatic at very high RPM for extended periods in 2nd gear. We bought a 5spd.

I'm not knocking you bud. I'm just saying that the paper is waaaaay behind the curve. This issue has been resolved for a couple months now.

Where's the link for the K&N filter from the 3 that fits the 5?
