BettyH42 Report post Posted August 7, 2012 We were all set to buy a Mazda 5 with a manual 6 speed transmission when my husband looked at the owners manual. They say that the transaxle transmissions can not be towed four wheels down. We can't see any reason why not. Was that a decision by the engineers, the service reps or the lawyers? Do any of you tow a Mazda other then the Miata, which is rear wheel drive? Our toad was totaled last week and we are going to Indianapolis and some pre-rallies next week. Hate to be without a car.
