Cargo Net for 5-Door Hatchback and Auto Dim Mirror by noodlesz

Hi,
 
I have a 5-door but it didn't come w/ a cargo net...I see some online for the 5-door, but it's a weird flat one that's stretched out and smushes everything towards the floor of the trunk area.
 
Is there a regular upright one that I can put in the hatchback for groceries or stuff that need to be upright? I looked for hooks to attached a upright cargo net to, but I couldn't find any top hooks...anyone know?
 
I like to store antifreeze in my car too, so I definately can't have that turned on the side, it might leak.
 
Also, anyone get a autodimming mirror w/ compass installed? Just wondering how much that costs for the labor...I heard it's somewhat a pain.

rather than the cargo net, you may want to consider the cargo organizer. i saw it at the auto show last year and i think i'm going to get it for my car (just got an 05 hatch manual). just so you know, it does require the cargo tray. anyway the organizer folds up when not in use, and looks to be the right size for those plastic grocery bags. someone from another forum told me that the organizer is also easily removable so if you need to move it to make room for something big, you can.
 
to me the cargo net seems to be badly designed for the hatch. i like how it works on the wagon, but having the net lay flat as it would in the hatch seems like it may squish soft items like bread or chips if i put them under the net.

I opted for both the cargo tray & net a year ago when I bought an '04 M6 S 5-door. The net can be used flat with all four corners tethered separately. Or, fold the net in half and attach the net corners in pairs to the cargo hooks on one side of the cargo area. In this way you can confine grocery bags and other bulky items to the side of the trunk (inside of the fender), rather than simply to the floor.

Hey, I just bought a 2005 Mazda 6i and I'm looking for a place to get some different things for my car. I'm looking for some Altezza lights, Air Intake, and the superchip. If anyone could let me know where I can find any of these parts I would greatly appreciate it.

Avon Tires... What's the appropriate pressure? by mjvchicago

hey all. Just put some awesome new Avon Tech M550 all seasons on my Mazda6s and they've been great. However I have noticed just a little more "looseness" in the steering feel. Could this be the tire pressure? I'm at 32-33 PSI right now and was wondering if I should change that. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

From what I've read about the Avons, I doubt the tire pressure would help the steering in this case. The OEM 17" Michelins (which I assume you had on your 6 previously) has a much harder tread compound, meaning longer mileage life, as well as not-so-good wet weather and snow traction (something these Michelins are infamous for. In other words, they're touring tires.
 
The Avons are more of a high-performance tire, with a softer compound. This usually results in better traction, but lower mileage life. I've also heard that they tend to slightly "give" when you initially go into a corner, but they catch quickly, and offer excellent traction through tight turns.
 
Knowing this, I'm not too sure that tire pressure would improve (or worsen) your handling. I'd try taking a few backroads with different tire pressures, and see which one better suits your tastes, both in ride quality, and handling.

Ah... makes sense. You've described exactly what I'm feeling - takes a second to "stick" but when they do it's solid and squeel-less, something the Michelins had a surplus of. I might increase the pressure a touch... what I'm experiencing is an ever so slight understeer so maybe that will ehlp a litte. thanks much for the input ghost.
