#918 of 1355 Colors by odie6l May 24, 2006 (8:15 pm)
How would you list the colors. This can also include why you picked the color you did. (Best - 1 to Ehh - 8) In Alpha order; 1. Brilliant Black Clearcoat 2. Carbon Gray Mica 3. Cardinal Red Mica 4. Phantom Blue Mica 5. Platinum Silver Metallic 6. Stellar Silver Mica 7. Strato Blue Mica 8. Whitewater Pearl (without the Pearlescent Paint Upgrade)   Odie Odie's Garage
#919 of 1355 My choices by odie6l May 24, 2006 (8:21 pm)
These are what I would pick if my wife decides that the 5 is what we will go with for the new vehicle (pending her color choices).   1. Phantom Blue Mica 2. Platinum Silver Metallic 3. Cardinal Red Mica 4. Strato Blue Mica 5. Carbon Gray Mica 6. Brilliant Black Clearcoat 7. Stellar Silver Mica 8. Whitewater Pearl   Now if they has a Hawaiian Blue with Light Gray interior that would be sweet, but alas this Lions fan could only wish...   Odie Odie's Garage
#920 of 1355 Re: Will "the 5" fit two large dogs? [jeffdunham] by frank4cars May 26, 2006 (7:58 pm)
Replying to: jeffdunham (May 19, 2006 4:14 pm) Might be tight in back for two of them. Check the rear opening height and compare that to the dogs' heights to get an idea. This 5 is really an economy car wagon so don't expect it to be even close to the Oddy dimensions. And although the two rear rows fold flat, there is a gap between the second row seats so it's not uniformly flat. And there is a whole subsection here about gas mileage. Figure 20-26 for an A/T and 24-30 for the manual. About a 20% difference.
#921 of 1355 Stability Control by mschmal May 30, 2006 (10:16 am)
You peeps are assuming that all Stability Controls are the same.   Think about it. Would Mercedes really use the same stability control as Hyundai? Would the both perform the same?   That car can say it has stability control but I would be more interested in looking at test results. How well did the car perform in the salom? How well did the car perform in "emergency lane change". What do the reviewers say about the way it drives?   Don't be shallow. Just because its on the window sticker doesn't mean anything.   It is completely probable for a Ford Fusion without stability to perform as well as or better than a Hyundai Sonata with it.   Mark.

#922 of 1355 stab control by andmoon May 30, 2006 (11:31 am)
Is not rocket science. Brakes are applied to individual tires in an attempt to stop the car from spinning. Once the individual braking is set up it is dependant on the software to decide how and when the stability control intervenes. A car w/out stability control will run thru 'tests' at a higher rate than an equivalent car w/out. It is a matter of deciding at what point the stab control kicks in.

Replying to: mschmal (May 30, 2006 10:16 am) In addition to our 5 we also own a 1994 Pontiac Sunbird. Both cars have ABS but that does not mean they both perform the same when braking on ice. I can pump the brakes as fast as the ABS on the Sunbird.   I'm sure the same applies to stability control. There are some systems that will perform better than a human could and there are others that perform as well as you could and are only really necessary if you're a complete spaz that doesn't know how to drive.
#924 of 1355 Anyone want to sell their Mazda 5 by needamazda5 Jun 01, 2006 (4:30 am)
We just test drove a Mazda 5 and really liked it. Unfortunately we did not have a good experience at the Mazda dealership in Marlow Heights, MD. Anyone out there want to sell their used Mazda 5? Email me if your interested in selling. Thanks! Replies to this message: wuster (Jun 02, 2006 1:21 pm) needamazda5 (Jun 04, 2006 5:37 am) wuster (Jun 05, 2006 3:43 am)

Replying to: needamazda5 (Jun 01, 2006 4:30 am) You should try one of the Fitzgerald Mazda dealerships. My brother in law bought from their Frederick, MD store and had a very good experience.   I bought mine from a different dealership in VA, because I got better pricing. Fitzgerald won't deviate from the price on their website. Replies to this message: needamazda5 (Jun 04, 2006 5:37 am) wuster (Jun 05, 2006 3:43 am)
#926 of 1355 I need to ask.... by odie6l Jun 02, 2006 (4:24 pm)
Now that we are into the spring months, how did the Mazda5 handle snowy conditions with more than 3" on the ground. I'm asking ( more so wife is asking) this because we did not get very much snow this past winter in our area, and would like to know, and all the delaers when I asked said "we didn't get much snow to test them out".   Odie Odie's Garage Replies to this message: hifive (Jun 06, 2006 11:14 am)

Replying to: wuster (Jun 02, 2006 1:21 pm) Thanks for the tip about the Frederick, MD dealership. We'll check it out in the next few weeks. Does anyone know what type of taxes we would have to pay if we bought a Mazda 5 in Virginia and then we brought it back to our residence here in Maryland?? Thanks!
