Replying to: nissmazlover (Dec 17, 2007 1:23 pm) Is anyone else doing that? It would be nice to have the extra gear, rear vents etc, but you loose a better warranty and a lot of cash. Not sure its worth it.

Replying to: nissmazlover (Dec 17, 2007 1:23 pm) In summary to me the 08 is a really nice 06+ (thanks to the auto air, electroluminescent gauges, more armrests, black cd console plate, aux input, body colored mirrors, etc.) As per the central console lack of covers, no big thing for me, I prefer the extra a/c vents and, with the 6CD Player, I don't need to carry extra CD cases around. 2nd row seats recline as far as the 06s-07s, what stops them is not the extra outer armrests but the 3rd row fixed cupholders/armrests, nothing else. Anyway, what I would suggest if you want to trade-in is to periodically check the inventory at the dealer locations near you and once they have the one you like test drive it. Check the list of things you prefer and try them out (i.e. recline seats, play with the Nav, 5th gear, etc.). If it convinces you, I would go for it. Oh, and is cold in here (below 32) and I have no heard crunch on none (and the 06 has not gone through the TSB) so I'm not able to answer to that either

Replying to: idavidson (Dec 17, 2007 1:41 pm) Warranty: Although I originally had a four year warranty on my 06, I've already had it since July 2005. Therefore, I only have, roughly, a year and a half to go on it. So, theoretically, if I get the new one I will be extending the warranty even further since I wouldn't have to worry about warranty covered repairs for that much more. Cash: At this point, I, basically, owe the same on my loan as what the car is worth - if not lower! Therefore, I won't be upside down on my trade-in, so there won't be any cash thrown away. It would be a simple switch. |

Replying to: nissmazlover (Dec 17, 2007 1:23 pm) I haven't seen this one yet but typically the default screen for a nav system is the current position/map screen. From the vehicle's standpoint, the nav is always in use. Usually there is also an option to turn off the display so you can have it blank/dark if you want. |

I'm interested in getting a mazda5 this spring and I was wondering - if your dealer does not have what you want, does anyone know how long it might take to get it? I would like the car in April - do I have to order now? Thanks.

Replying to: nissmazlover (Dec 18, 2007 10:54 am) On another note, any comments on the new sand cloth interior? I rented a 5 w/black cloth and was surprised at how dirty it looked. I am thinking I'd prefer the sand (maybe make the inside look roomier and hide stains better?)but am wondering what the material is like IRL. I also noticed in the brochure that the Black Clearcoat comes with black cloth interior, but online you can build it with black OR sand interior. Hmmmm... |
