First Time Mazda Guy

Just swapped my Saab wagon for a Mazda 5. My Saab was loaded... with a bunch of Bosch electronics that were causing me grief. I loved the car, but don't have that kind of time to spend in my garage, nor the money just to keep the car to spec.

I just got the Mazda 5 on Feb 9th. Mine is the 5-speed Sport in Stellar Green-Silver. I have the POPULAR EQUIPMENT PACKAGE with IN-DASH 6-DISC CD CHANGER, SIDE SILL EXTENSIONS and REAR LIFTGATE SPOILER.

I've already traded in my second set of Saab wheels for a nice set of used American Race wheels at the local Wheel and Tire shop. They put my brand new 225/45-17 Yokohama tires on the wheels. It looks sharp and rides like it's on rails. The speedo is more accurate than with the stock 205/50-17's that I will use for fair-weather driving. I checked it out with my after-market GPS AutoPilot 330 that I have also added.

I've taken the liberty of removing any hint of the dealership advert crap (incl. those sticky plates on the rear door), and added some Mazda license plate frames. I'll add a tape player when I get it in. I need it for my audio books that just happen to be on tape.
