2008 Mazda 5 GT
I took possession of my second M5 this week. Got to wondering how many others have liked their cars so much they've become multiple owners? Here are some questions to kick it off:
Years?
New or Used?
- if used, how many miles/km?
MT/AT?
Trim?
Any other details of note?
Plans?

And my story:
1st: 2007 M5, new, GT (Canadian spec), bought with roof rack and tonneau cover. Added winter tires on steelies later.
2nd: 2008 M5, used, GT (Canadian spec), with just 29,000 km. Has aftermarket remote start (ugh!). Plan to add tint, rear bumper step plate, swap my Dunlops from the '07, and maybe a CAI. Otherwise I'll keep pretty stock.
And, sadly, I'll be selling the '07.

We're on our second manual trans. MZ5. Found an '08 Touring with a 5-speed last year and sold our '06 Sport. Both cars had about 37k miles when we made the switch.

Other than replacing the crappy stock Toyos, the car will pretty much remain in stock form.
 
So nice we bought it twice! Traded our 07 GT in at 50k n got a 2010 GT... wow they made a lotta awesome improvements. So far I really enjoy the extra luxuries. We have 8k on it in 3mos.
 
How could you not count?

Dunno, kind of understood that you own one and replace it for another one, which I have not done

When are you going to pick up a '10 to go with the '06 & '08?

Really like the cars but have grown bored of driving exactly the same models, if the opp presents I might actually trade-in one for a non-Mazda5 car (still a Mazda I believe)
