What is the lowest temperature recorded on your Mazda5?

[antlind]

Hey,
Since we're in the middle of Winter, I thought it would be fun to show the lowest outdoor temperature you've registered from the Mazda5.
I live is Calgary and it's darn cold today. I recorded this temperature a few minutes ago.....Mind you, this is the daytime high. I registered at -32C this morning before the sun popped out.
N.B. This is the temperature in Celcius, I'm not sure what the Farenheit equivalent would be.
Sorry for the poor pic...I took this from my phone....and my whole body was shaking from the cold at the time.....

mine usually approximates the one broadcast on the radio.

I think in Fahrenheit, that's -OMG That's Friggin' COLD!!

I don't know how you Canucks do it...

-28*C = -18*F Damn, that's cold. Now, while you may hold the current record for coldest temp displayed, when's the last time you were able to register a 1xx*F temp

I am from Calgary too. My MZ5 show -27c in the afternoon. COLD!!!!!!!
It was -32c this morning when I start my wife Xterra.

 

[deadstock]

i dunno how you guys can live with that temperature. Here in Vancouver it's -4 and I'm freezing my ass off

There's one time that Weather Canada declared an Extreme Cold Warning in Toronto and the temperature is -18C with windchill at -25C. We don't get any Extreme Cold Warning here in Winnipeg until the temperature drops to -30C below with windchill below -40C!! (shocked)

-7F the other day here in MO. I was outside loading my truck in that. It was pretty cold when you have to compare to today it was 60+ degrees. (which was WONDERFUL) It gets to 110F here sometimes during summer. We have a pretty big swing in temperatures here. Your body has to do a lot of adjusting and your clothes do too.

I just looked at our forcast for tomorrow.....

53F down to 9F in one day.

For you metric people.
12C down to -13C in one day.

-24F here last winter (hasn't been that cold this year; only -20 F so far). Highest it's read for us is 108 F. The 108 is a slight cheater, though, as that was in Phoenix (not a very hot day based on when I lived there). It showed us 102 at home last summer, but I suspect it was really more like 98 and just got hot in the sun.

It's -33 celcius (-27.4 F) here in Regina, Saskatchewan. Counting windchill, they say it's about -50 celcius. I have to watch the MZ5 dealer-installed remote starter. The thing does not have a 'retry' function. It will try only once, and if the car fails to start that's it. My way around it is to remote start, then stop, then remote start again.

The lowest I've registered in the 5 in Kelowna is -20 C (-4 F) and the highest is 41 C (105.8 F) but I suspect that was exaggerated over the "real" ambient temperature.

The coldest I've EVER experienced was when I lived in Edmonton in 1966. The school I went to closed as the furnace oil wouldn't flow. It was the only time I ever heard of an Albertan school closing and the temperature was -45 F (remember this was the 60s, no metrics in Canada then!) or a bone chilling -42.78 C, which is damn cold no matter the measuring method! The wind chill dropped it at least another -10 F. Of course, we all went skating at the ice rink the school system built on the football field.

Cold is relative to humidity, which is why Vancouverites freeze at -4 C and Toronto issues warnings at -18C. Kelowna is pretty arid, and the cold doesn't penetrate as much as it does in the more humid climes. People in the prairie Provinces (and States!) merely button up their shirts at those temps!

I took the attached pic in my Vibe on I-94 in North Dakota last January. I've seen it at -28F but didn't have a camera that time.

 

[coolmazda5]

15F... booohhh!

There has to be a way to harness energy out of this temperature difference between indoor and outdoor.

cold crunch

hello,

this is a bit off topic, but since y'all are talking about the Mazda5 and cold weather, do any of you have the suspension crunch that some owners have complained about. supposedly it happens mainly in colder weather with the 5s.

i'm in Canada and am contemplating buying a 2008 Mazda5. gonna test drive it tomorrow in -20 weather to see for myself.

i'll post my test drive results, but would like to hear if any current owners have the problem.

I suspect all owners have had this problem. I had my bushings replaced a couple months ago (for the 2nd time) and in -30C weather I have not had any problems. I'm hopeful that the new 2008 models don't have this problem.

I have heard it a few times on COLD mornings. I'm not going to do anything about it unless it starts doing it during warmer weather. Seems excessive to try to fix something that only happens 1% of the time for me.

 

[skyhawk]

I have the MZ5 2006.. the crunch comes up beginning of the cold season. This past weeks we have a deep freeze at -27 to -30 celcius. The crunching sound is nowhere to be heard. So I think the crunch happens only at certain range of temperature.

 

[BLACKOUT]

my lowest temp has been last week and that was 20 F and that was going to the coast
