Too many factory defects!

Gear box and clutch are inadequate. Break calipers are subpar. Timing sensors are not robust. Undercarriage significantly underperforms Toyota and Honda in terms of rust. Engine too powerful for gear box, clutch and cv joints. Requires recalculation of all forces and subsequently parts adequacy, Some parts are extremely difficult to repair (sway bar bushings, lower control arms) as access is restricted by engine. Air cabin filter is super difficult to replace. Air filter cap does not seal off air ducts appropriately. Light bulb replacement is inordinately difficult. Maintenance is expensive. Great engine nonetheless. Very practical and versatile vehicle.

Great functionality / Major issues with reliability

In terms of functionality car is unmatched as all other options are either too big or lack versatility. In terms of reliability, already on 3rd clutch for this car, as it uses Mazda 2 and 3 clutch platform. In addition, the gear box was replaced under warranty. I have never had clutch problems with our manual VW or Honda. Rear suspension, struts and mounts, was replaced 3 times as it is not robust to handle the weight of Mazda 5. Air-conditioning compressor locked, blew the AC clutch, and subsequently the condenser and some of the piping. Break pads, regardless of brand or type ceramic or organic compound last no longer than 2 years. Already replaced the crankshaft sensor (around 89k) and the air intake sensor (105k). Fully replaced the exhaust pipes as the original fell off while driving on the highway.

It has great features, but also issues.

This vehicle is probably well suited to a specific kind of driver, but only that kind. Reliability: I bought it used, shortly thereafter had problems requiring repair. But within my short ownership time, it has otherwise run well.

good car

I've had this car for 6 years now...only complaint is that the car rides low so when there are potholes or issues with the road it does affect the car more often...other than normal wear and tear, car is reliable...fits 6 comfortably...does not waste gas

Amazing family car

I love the convenience of a 3rd row without the big size of a mini van/SUV. It is so easy to park and the gas mileage is amazing for a family car.

Mazda 5 2009 Touring

I love my car. I looked at many before purchase. I have owned a Mazda since 1984, they are fun cars to drive and own. Comfortable on trips. Important to me as an avid cyclist is that I can fit my bike or bikes inside. It is a fun car to drive. I pick my car over the wife's Honda Accord. I had a broken back and still have issues bending, the seat is easy in and out and just the right height . And comfortable . I will own it as long as I drive most likely. i don't care for the screens and other distractions on newer cars. I cycle more than I drive.
