    Excust my manners.. I think introduction is long over due

    Hi Mazda247 Community: My name is Pete and I recently became a Mazda fanatic. I was always fond of the 90's RX7, Protege, and Miata but in the last decade, have not been interested in the Mazda brand simply because I wasn't a huge fan of Ford not to mention the partnership. In the last 10 years...

    A/C fan suddenly very noisy (buzzing); anyone have the same problem or can identify?

    Hi folks. Looking for a diagnosis or wondering if anyone else has had this problem. This started just yesterday. I turned on the A/C (or heater) and on the higher settings and the fan started making a loud buzzing sound (the higher the setting he louder). It almost sounds as if the fan...

    2010 Mazda5 AT Shifting problems

    Car novice here so pardon the naivet'. I've got a 2010 5 AT with ~26,500 miles on it. A couple months ago, I noticed the transmission seemed to be slow to shift when accelerating between 40-60MPH and then again from 60-80MPH. It also feels like the transmission "stumbles" when downshifting...

    Replaced Brake Pads and Rotors on 2006 Mazda5 Sport...my experience (very long)

    I just spent the better part of a day (start to finish) doing a brake pad and rotor replacement on my 2006 Mazda5 sport. It had 54,252 miles on it. The front rotors were badly warped (another issue that I will not get into here). They had been turned once, and were okay for awhile after that...

    2012 Mazda5 - Roof Cargo Bag suggestions?

    Hi, We have a 2012 Mazda5. We park in a garage in the city which discourages cars from having Roof cargo boxes (i.e, you can have them but then you get charged the "SUV" parking rate instead of the cheaper "sedan" rate!) So we are looking buying at a roof top cargo bag instead (Thule Quest?)...

    Picking up my 2010 Mazda5 on Monday, so a few ?'s

    My wife and I purchased a 2010 Mazda5 yesterday. We got a good deal on their shuttle vehicle, which is a GS with 17k on it. Nice car, and fits two car seats, which we'll need when our next baby is due later this week. There are a lot of options after all the purchase stuff though that I'm...

    Mazda5 Thule Roof Rack - SOLD I have a Thule roof rack setup, only on the car for a couple weeks and in great shape. I haven't used it in over a year. I'm selling the Mazda5 and won't need it any more. I had it for transporting surfboards (if you want the surf attachment, let me know). I...

    Did the Thule fairing reduce wind noise for you?

    I put a Thule roof rack on my '10 Mazda5 this weekend and I'm surprised at how loud it is... As soon as I hit 30mph or so it sounds like I'm sitting in a wind tunnel. I've heard two things... one, wrap a bungee around the front bar which could help. Does this really help? And two, get the...

    Hi! Brand new here, looking to replace my trusty '88 Toyota truck with a Mazda5

    Hey! We outgrew our almost-classic Toyota 4x4 ten years ago when we had our first of three kids. But, we bought it new off the lot, we honeymooned in it, we have a lot of history and fond memories with it, and it's a great truck. I just don't know how anyone can own (and thus maintain) a...

    My 08 Mazda5 is eating headlight bulbs.

    My 08 Mazda5 touring just had its second headlight go out in a month. (Halogens, not HIDs) It is barely 2 years old. I havent seen too many posts here about the 5's having this problem, so I wanted to see how many others have been experiencing this. The first one to go was the drivers side...

    2007 5 vs. 2010 5 acceleration

    I traded my '07 Mazda5 Touring for a 2010 Mazda5 Touring back in April and have noticed in the 2010 a serious lack of cajones when I want it to get up and go compared to the 2007. The engine and dimension specs appear to be exactly the same. Anyone notice acceleration problems in 2010 Mazda5...

    Coolant Odor, 2009 Mazda 5

    My 2009 Mazda 5 has an engine coolant odor while running and for a short time after the engine is shut down. I've had it to two different dealers, three times, and they say they can smell the odor, but cannot find where it is coming from. I am not losing coolant. Any simular problmes or fixes?
