Replying to: nissmazlover (Jan 04, 2008 11:31 am)  , now you just need to get a 2nd one  I'm with you in all the positives, very good info! Just some comments from my side: a) Suspension Squeak If you have driven other cars you will notice it is common. I have driven/ridden/owned several for years and I've found all of them do it. It may be more difficult to catch it if it is not your car though. I owned a Honda Civic, and when it was cold or after raining, the squeak was loud. b) Dashboard tapping I noticed now that I have paid attention to it, possibly after all the posts read here and in other forums (otherwise I would not have realized it). My 06 and 08 do it, but I've heard it in other cars as well (brand new, cheap and expensive), specifically  sub-zero temps (and not just the dashboard, but windshields, windows, doors, suspension, you name it). The material contracts and then moves around, that's it c) More refined ride Yup, I've noted a couple of nice things in the 08, it feels peppier and more precise, especially after I drive my wife's 06. Yet, I'll hold my opinion for a couple of thousand miles, possibly is just the NEW car factor kicking around

Does anyone know if the exhaust system is stainless steel? My 1992 Taurus is and I never replaced any parts of the system in 15 years! I never read any info about this anywhere. Thanks.

Anybody know about possible engine upgrades for the 5? Mazda has several new engines at its disposal now... the 2.5L that will be in the new 6 and refreshed Escape, DISI versions of the 2.0L, 2.3L, and 2.5L? All of these engines are reportedly more fuel efficient than the current 2.3L while having more hp. I think the 5 could really use one of these.

I don't think it was ever answered. Is there a source for the Euro-style roof rails in the US? We have a 2006 Mazda5 and would like to install a roof rack. I'd love to get the side rails my parents in Germany have on theirs. They're more stylish and have less wind resistance than the roof rack they sell here. And it's easy to temporarily install crossbars. So, anybody know if the parallel rails are available? Can they even be installed on the US version? Any alternative suggestions for removable roof racks? Thanks!
