Really? Are you sure? I would have dropped odds that it was a late Gen 1 model; more like my 2009. Remove the tinted glass, the powder-coated factory 18" wheels and the faux racing body panels, and put the suspension back up where it was when the car came out of the factory and it would be virtually identical to my car.

Bingo! The taillights on the car in the OP's picure are identical to the ones on my 2009.

 

My '04 too... the factory lights, not the AM LEDs I have in now.
The rear bumper cover is the give-a-way to me, expect for the aftermarket "flares" which are add-ons. The facelift models had a slightly more agressive look to the rear bumper. A slightly different paint scheme too, I believe.
I'm pretty sure its an '04-'06. I believe '06 was the last year for titanium gray as well? I don't recall the name now, but Mazda went to a different, darker gray for '07>.



Oh and BTW folks, those wheels are first gen Mazda5 wheels that had been painted black. They are 17's, not 18's.

 

those are rx8 wheels. 18's that weigh a short ton.

 

same i like the first gen tailights.. but anyways do u have any suggestions of like any cars/any brand that look like the top sedan starting at around 15,000 new???
