Replying to: sebring4 (Nov 19, 2005 12:27 pm) 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.

Replying to: noodlesz (Nov 23, 2005 11:24 am) 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 looked for hooks to attached a upright cargo net to, but I couldn't find any top hooks...anyone know? 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.

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.

Replying to: mjvchicago (Mar 17, 2006 6:56 am) 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.

I've owned my 6 for about 3 months now, and I am really liking it. The handling is great, I love the engine (I have the v-6), and the styling is distinctive in a good way. But I did find the shifting (compared to my old accord and friends subaru wrx) a little long between first and second, and that the "feel" was not as "positive" as I'd like. I began reading a lot on the mazda6club site concerning reviews of modifications to the shifter (amongst many other things) and decided to change mine out. Since the warranty symbol for this shifter is "green" according to Mazda, I wasn't too worried about voiding my warranty. Anyway, I am not mechanically inclined at all! I don't even know how to change the oil on my lawnmower! But there was an article on the mazda6club that had pictures of how to do it and it looked pretty simple. so 2 hours later I now have a shifter that i like much better. the throw is about 30% less, there is a much more positive feel to it, and I really like it. It can be bought from several mazda dealerships online for around $170. If you're interested in doing it yourself or want to know if your mechanic is charging too much, here's the link: link title |

Since the cloth seats in the 6 prior to the new 2006 material has been less than stellar, I've been looking to get some covers that still let the side airbags (located on the side of the front seats) deploy and look good. Most seat covers are not made for a specific vehicle so they tend to not fit very well. Since I like to drive this car fairly aggressively (how can I not, this thing handles so well!) having loose seats does not appeal to me at all. So on the mazda6club, we've begun discussing some ways to get good covers to protect our investment. here's the link: link title I'd be interested to hear what options all of you have considered or tried! |
