Mazda 5 (2005-)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

A good reliable comfortable family Car, Very Practical, a spacious Load Lugger,Ideal for a Family occasional 7 seater vehicle good for taking the Children around in, but more a spacious 5 seat car. Can be used as a business workhorse/Van, very useful. Generally very reliable if looked after, Only downside is it must be serviced by Mazda as other garages/dealerships do not reset computer correctly and you get errors as if car was not serviced! This costs almost as much as a service to get rectified.

How reliable do you find the car?

When new Tyres were wearing outside edge, have to have steering box replaced at 3 years old, Changed Tyre sizes to 225/45 x 17 and had all 4 wheels aligned and car has been ok since on tyres, Rear Brake caliper siezed, but was replaced at about 7 years old Had to replace rear suspension links and bushes at 11 years old, Front Suspension links and Bushes at 12 years old

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

A good versatile and useful car, can be used as a van/workhorse as well, Performed well and reliable.
