I just added a new Mazda to my lineup. I traded in the 2004 6i for a 2008 Mazda 5 GT with everything execpt navigation. I bought a Garmin 260W instead which gets me where I want to go for $1300 cheaper, lol.

Fine, if you don't like gray Mazdas, just tell us now ;)

Great purchase, your other rides look really kewl as well. I'm a big fan of MAZDASPEEDs

That little people mover won't let the "fun-to-drive" factor down, guaranteed :D

Thanks. After buying the 6, silver obviously became our color of choice. It hasn't disappointed me as far as handling, but I think it could use a bit more power.

I know Mazda's intent wasn't performance, but I can tell the zoom-zoom feel is still there. One thing that really surprised me was it has a really smooth shifting auto. I haven't driven one of those in a while.

I think my biggest gripe about it is there's no Bose stereo. I got the MS3 GT and it has it, so I thought the 5 GT would too. I didn't look at the brochure until after I bought it and realized it only comes with the premium stereo.

Sucks for me, but I'm still happy with it none the less. I'll just upgrade the speakers and add a small amp.
 
Yeah... that is surprising indeed. Never realized that until you mentioned it just now. Oh well, I guess on the upside, seems like the Bose system always adds complications for aftermarket upgrades anyway.
 
i had Bose system on my old 93 Honda accord SE.. and i did *enjoy* the system very much... (i never knew about Bose until then..)..
That was *best* stereo set up that i ever had.. (i never bothered to upgarde to aftermarket).. i guess it will be nice to have Bose on Mz5.. but oh well..(stash)
