I've done it, not too difficult, when I installed the HD module to the Nav unit.

Re: Recall Code VG - spiders blocking Evap canister vent

I had a spider problem on a Ford a few years back. They clogged the vent tube at the fuel filler. Gassing up, it was difficult because the air pressure in the filling tank would stop the fuel nozzle.

Re: Returning a leased Suzuki in the U.S. – my story

I have leased and rented a few Fords over the past ten years and none gave me a bad impression. The Fusion was my choice to succeed the Kizashi before I tried the Mazda.

Returning a leased Suzuki in the U.S. – my story

My Kizashi lease expired on June 27. I had been receiving the appropriate notifications, and my 'Lease Return Kit' from Suzuki, made sure the car was up to standard, and a couple of weeks before it was due, called them to arrange a pre-inspection.

Re: lease end buy out

I was under the impression that Residual value is a fixed value, and is the same at the beginning and end of a lease, therefore is not negotiable as the car is owned by the bank, not the dealer. Right - keep in mind the bank owns the car, so they can do whatever they want with selling it at the end...

Re: Kizashi v Mazda 6

Mazda isn't selling as well as they should in the United States. The 6 is not selling too well and in fact, neither is the 3. The new Mazda3 is not selling in ways Mazda hoped it would despite being arguably the best car in the segment. Part of this - I feel - is related to the recent economic slum...

Re: Kizashi v Mazda 6

A question for the Aussies: How is the Mazda 6 selling? In the U.S., sales have been far short of what Mazda was hoping.
