Mazda 5 (2005 - 2010) 2.0 Sport (6) 5d Owner Review

Love the electric sliding rear doors that is one of the best ideas as a new family car, built in roof rails. Opted for leather seats was great. Electric pack did not include heated seats which surprised me, upgraded headlights great. On reflection probably not the best idea of buying the Sport edition 7 seater people carrier with revvy 2.0 litre petrol engine (not going to get more than 32mpg) harder suspension and lower profile tyres provides a harsher ride, but it has done everything needed as a family car, handy for picking up extra folks to events when you have 7 seats and love those rear sliding doors again! For 6 months I commuted 340 miles (single trip) mostly on cruise control, easy car to live with, has been great and at 133,000 miles doesn’t look like it’s going to stop soon. Decided to replace clutch at 92000 miles before it gave out, same time EGR valve (fitted a Ford one was much cheaper) and then Aircon stopped functioning other than consumables not replaced anything else on the car. It has been totally reliable.
