Replying to: jaxs1 (Oct 17, 2007 11:48 am) I did some quick checking and found that DSC is part of the standard equipment of the Mazda5 in Germany, but is not available either in the US or Canada. So this isn't an engineering question, but merely a content / price question. I don't consider safety to be optional, but it should at least be available. It's disappointing to see an auto-maker take this approach, particularly on a model update, given that the feature has already been engineered.

Replying to: coolmazda5 (Oct 17, 2007 6:01 am) Forgive me if a similar question has been asked here or in other fora... my wife likes the Mazda5, but I would like to know how difficult it will be to access the 3rd row in order to strap 2 toddlers onto forward facing car seats WHILE there is a booster seat on one 2nd row seat AND a base for a rear-facing car seat on the other 2nd row seat. Thanks guys. Replies to this message: mdchachi (Oct 30, 2007 9:11 am) pinoydoc (Nov 03, 2007 7:30 am) coolmazda5 (Nov 03, 2007 11:56 am)

Hi pinoydoc, I'm from Cebu but living in Winnipeg. I had my Mazda5 for about 2 months now. What you're planning is doable but extremely tight, you'll have to be quite nimble to do it. I think you'd be better off with a larger Mini-van. You wouldn't have any space left for baggage more so for strollers.

Replying to: pinoydoc (Oct 29, 2007 3:11 pm) I suggest taking the car seats to a dealer and trying it. That sounds like a very tight fit to me. If you need to use the third row regularly, I'd lean towards a full size mini-van. Replies to this message: pinoydoc (Nov 03, 2007 7:30 am) coolmazda5 (Nov 03, 2007 11:56 am)

Replying to: mdchachi (Oct 30, 2007 9:11 am) Thanks Andy and chachi. We already have a minivan, so this will be a second car to replace our wagon. Maybe we will use all seats only in a pinch. Or we'll end up just getting another minivan. p.s. mdchachi, by any chance were you ever a resident in Jax? Replies to this message: coolmazda5 (Nov 03, 2007 11:56 am)

Replying to: pinoydoc (Nov 03, 2007 7:30 am) It should be OK. I've seen some Mazda5 pics with 3 baby seats. It is good for short errands, day trips and even grocery store trips (if you fold half of the 3rd row seat, you could fit 1 or 2 portable strollers).   And yes, use the minivan for long trips or when traveling with full size strollers, no way around

Does anyone have an accurate date when the new Mazda5s hit the dealers? I just found out I need a new catalytic converter which cost more than my car is worth! Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Nov 27, 2007 8:18 am) day2 (Dec 01, 2007 12:00 pm)

The last time I went to the dealer for a tune-up, I asked them when they're getting any 2008 Mazda5 and they said they might have some before the year ends.

Replying to: kivo (Nov 17, 2007 8:25 am) I just received my first shipment of Mazda5 brochures today. We expect the actual vehicles to be here before years end.   I must say, the improvements they made are just sensational. The car looks great, and the added features really show what a value the Mazda5 is.
