I had it since November last year. It lost traction today and it ended in a ditch in rural Kansas. You'll be missed.🫡

Looking at a 2007 Mazda 5 2.0

Hi all. Looking for a practical car for the holidays and a second car. I kind of like them, test drove one and found it quite nippy.

Anything particular to watch out for with these? It looks good for its age, 203.000km.

I am a woodworker and in 2024, I designed and built a custom-fit setup to convert my 5 to a single-person camper. It has two sliding tables, double butane stoves, two storage drawers, space for hidden storage, a flippable table to retain use of one middle row seat (served as a mini office) and more. It's useful, comfortable and is designed to be easily installed and removed. Family health issues mean I won't be camping any time soon, so I want to offer it to the community. If you already have a 5, I can install it for you and show you how to do it, or I would consider selling it with my 5, which itself has some great features like auxiliary lights and a CB radio. To complete the setup, I also have a tent that attaches to the car via the hatch, turning the car into the bedroom and the tent becomes the living room. Contact me directly if interested.

Hello all,

I need to replace the opening switch of my rear door on my Mazda 5.

Now I already removed all the inside panelling of the rear door.

As far as I can see I need to remove the two inner lights on the rear door first (2)

Then I can remove the plastic strip (1) which contains the switch (3). And then I can replace the switch (3).

But the problem is that I cannot remove the two inner lights. When I remove the one bolt on the inside and pinch the plastic clip there still is absolutely no movement in the inner light unit. How do I remove these? Do I somehow need to remove the black plastic cover on the side?

Anyone got some tips?
