Hey folks,
As I've mentioned, I'm considering stepping up (size wise) from the Fit to a used 5 (actually, I'll probably drive the Fit to and from work, and mama will drive the 5.)
Couple questions:
Can you get the 1st gen 5 with bluetooth?
I'm reading a lot about premature tirewear due to suspension component issues, and apparently Mazda is telling them to get bent; that there's no solution for it, just get used to the road noise and buying new tires every 20k miles.
I have no idea on the Bluetooth poop, but the aftermarket should be able to help you out there.
I've already put 20K miles on my 5 and have no tire wear issues. I also don't have road noise. I'll try and shoot a GoPro video for you.

No idea on the Bluetooth, but on our 3 and the in laws 5, the camber on the rear wheels will wear down the inside edges fairly quickly, so rotate tires early and often, or get a camber kit for the rear to dial out some of the camber, which will also make the handling more neutral, yay.
