#1192 of 1346 Re: 2008 Mazda5 [bobw3] by coolmazda5 Sep 20, 2007 (7:08 am)
Replying to: bobw3 (Sep 18, 2007 8:24 am) Yeah, whatever they do with the 2nd row vents should be very creative. I like your ceiling vents idea. For the Japanese market they managed to get the front passenger armrest, but it seems that they sacrificed the center console somehow, so it will be interesting to see how it will be offered by the other markets   Check the image, first picture. This is the 2008 JDM Mazda Premacy configuration:     Source is the www.premacy.mazda.co.jp site...

Replying to: yysyys (Sep 24, 2007 10:53 am) Not sure if that information is correct as it does not specify AT or MT. If there are improvements on the MZR engine plus the 5AT for 2008, I would expect better numbers.   Check 2007 values from the Mazda USA Web Site:   EPA Mileage, City/Highway (mpg) - M/T 22/27 EPA Mileage, City/Highway (mpg) - A/T 21/26   The values map the M/T EPA mileage...

Any one know when the dealers will have the 2008 Mazda5 brochures in? Replies to this message: luvmazda (Oct 01, 2007 2:49 am)

Replying to: kivo (Sep 30, 2007 7:15 am) Hi Kivo! I think it's going to be in November, 2007. That's when the dealerships usually start bringing in the 2008 makes. I'll ask my Mazda dealer and get back to you.

Stumbled upon this yesterday - click the link, then on the Copper Red Mazda5.   http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-carCompare0710.html   First time I've seen a LHD interior shot of the 2008, with in-dash navigation and in beige. There's this odd horizontal slot located below the shifter, might this be the rear seat AC duct? It's not present on any of the 2008 JDM Premacy pics.   According to the link: EPA 22/28, just below 2008 Mazda3's 22/29 rating. Replies to this message: mdchachi (Oct 09, 2007 3:06 pm)
#1199 of 1346 When is stability control coming? by jaxs1 Oct 03, 2007 (3:58 pm)
The lack of it on the 2008 Mazda5 is shocking especially on a minivan/crossover type vehicle. In this class, it is usually usually standard equipment rather than an option. On the Mazda5 it still isn't available even as an option.   Which other 2008 minivans or crossovers besides the Mazda5 do not have stability control at least optionally?   The Mazda5 may be the only 2008 minivan-type vehicle sold in the United States without availability of stability control. Pretty bad to be in that position. Replies to this message: coolmazda5 (Oct 03, 2007 6:59 pm) castg1 (Oct 04, 2007 8:56 pm)

Replying to: jaxs1 (Oct 03, 2007 3:58 pm) Yes, I agree, but for the time I have driven mine I don't see it as a real critical need.   Most of the cars where I've seen ESC as a standard or as an option is because without it they are really dangerous.   After all, wasn't ESC was developed after so many SUVs and Minivans were really bad to maneuver on difficult situations even if the driver was a good one? The Mazda5 is not one of those.   Of course I would love to have ESC on mine. I know it is much safer for my family and me, don't take me wrong. Replies to this message: castg1 (Oct 04, 2007 8:56 pm)

Replying to: coolmazda5 (Oct 03, 2007 6:59 pm) I'm in saskatchewan and in winter time city roads are usually frozen snow. I drive the MZ5 using ESC (easy, slow, careful) driving. . yes. with winter tires.
