2012 Mazda 5 Grand Touring in Clear Water Blue Mica

Description:
Picked this up last Friday from Wayne Mazda in New Jersey. So far, I am definitely feeling the 'Zoom Zoom' with this car. I have thus far re-added my Yaesu FT-857D Ham Radio and mutiband antenna, and my trusty V1. Everything is either velcro'ed or double-back taped. Optional accessories includes bumper protector, and soon to be installed mud guards and tailpipe finisher.

UPDATE:
Received my new NJ plates from the dealer two days ago and installed my OEM tailpipe finisher last night. I remember Japanese cars all used to come with tailpipe finisher installed from the factory. It's annoying that I had to cough up over $50 for this part from the dealer.. oh well.

Have installed BumperDefender color matched rear bumper strip which already fooled one of my coworker thinking it was installed from the factory!

This weekend, I will be installing the mudguards and sometime in few weeks, rear windows will be tinted to give me that "minivan" look :) Pictures to come!

Love the front facia of this beautiful car, and have not felt this excited since my first German car in the late 90's - a BMW 318i. I really think Mazda hit this one out of the ballpark with the 5. I currently have 483mi on the odometer. Probably will not be driving like a maniac until my first oil change - at around 2K miles. Will be mounting the ScanGauge E in the little cubby hole left/bottom of the driver's seat to get access to coolant temp.

This is the picture of the rear before the installation of the rear bumper guard. Additional accessories to be installed soon.
