Pros: versatile interior-you can pack a lot into this little car, and it is very nifty if you need room for 5 people including two car seats. When we first got it, the car was peppy and fun to drive. Cons-reliability, specifically in regards to suspension. Bought a 4 year old model with only about 50k miles on it. We have had to replace a lot compared with our Camry hybrid with almost 150k miles. Plagued with suspension problems the past couple of years. Spent almost 1k to fix the rear suspension, only to have to replace the entire front suspension, shocks, and struts a couple of months later. I wish I had known Mazda was notorious for suspension problems before buying. I feel like the suspension has improved but it still doesn't ride like it did. Only about 85k miles currently.

We are a family of 5 and have enjoyed many trips with our Mazda 5. It's also the daily duty car. It would be great if it had towing capacity for bikes or a small trailer for camping gear. Our next vehicle will have towing capacity.

Horrible Drivetrain

We have owned the vehicle for 18 months now and have accumulated 25,000 miles. We have already had to replace the stock tires due to the originals wearing out. We took the vehicle to the dealer for all maintainence and we had a passenger side axle have to be replaced due to defect at 16,000 miles. At 25,000 miles the transmission decided to blow up. When in the dealership getting the trans replaced, they also found the drivers side axle was defective and also had to be replaced. The car gets around 32 mpg as we drove it from Iowa to NJ 10 times over the past 18 months. It is great with the entertainment package, as the kids love it. It is a little underpowered when going over steep hills.
So close to fantastic...

Bought the vehicle just over a month ago to replace a 2005 Elantra (great car btw). Was immediately struck by how great it is to drive; from the driver's seat, you really feel like you're driving a Mazda3, NOT a minivan! Kids loved the mid seats (captains), and considered it a 'cool' looking car. Fantastic view all around, and handles amazingly. After a bit of time, though, some things have started to gnaw: no 'hidden' cubbies to hide GPS's, spare change, etc.; turning on the auto climate control automatically kicks in the a/c (it's January... in Canada... c'mon!). Overall, though, no regrets in getting this vehicle; if you can overlook the lack of cubbies, it'll serve the avg. family well!
Got rid of it after 4 1/2 years.

I have had the car for almost 3 years now. Only had to replace rear shocks under warranty. Doing oil changes and tire rotations every 5 k. Everything runs like new. Still on the original brakes. There is some slight vibration but not noticeable at lower speeds when braking. Also, the tires last only about 25 k. The new tires are wearing slightly already due to aggressive rear camber, which gives the car a sporty ride. This in turn causes a slight steering wheel shake at times. All in all, this is the best and cheapest to maintain car I ever owned. The sliding doors are awesome. Edit: got rid of the car because I he to replace A lot of suspension parts and the sliding doors kept freezing in winter. Car sucks in snow. Mazda is cheap quality. Got a Subaru and love it. No issues for almost 2 years now.
