2007 Mazda Mazda5 consumer reviews

Mazda is the only car I have ever owned that just doesn't break down. My first one was a 626 purchased in 1986 and owned for 13 years and it broke down 1 time after 10 years, unlike most US manufactured cars at the time that broke down even before I would finish paying for it, but after warranty expired. I now own a 2007 Mazda 5 and it's now 2023 so it's nearly 16 years old and it's never broken down. Very reliable car and I love the room in it. Its the only car brand I haven't wanted to get rid of after a few years.

This is the probably the best vehicle I've ever owned and the most reliable. Very happy with the vehicle. Courtenay Mazda is the place to go for the best dealership experience.

I purchased this car used with around 70k miles, and it was SUCH a joy to drive for nearly 100k miles! Very few times in the shop, decent gas mileage, and enough style to make people ask "what IS that"? Love the sliding passenger doors, but doesn't look quite as "soccer-mom" like as many mini vans. Sadly, they changed the body style a couple of years later, so I couldn't replace her with another Mazda5.

This car is amazing, we have safety for our grandbaby and plenty of room for everything else. This car is a must in if you have a busy life

this car met all of my needs. it has plenty of legroom in the front and back, the ride is great compared to other cars i tested

Great gas mileage. Plenty of room for everything. Great on long trips. Flexible and flashy. Passes like a dream.

When we first got this car really liked it. It seemed to be the perfect blend of small exterior and roomy interior. But after about 45,000 - 50,000 miles, we begin noticing some clunking noises underneath. It just seems very flimsy and not very able to handle road bumps, potholes, etc. We finally traded it in at 59,000 miles which is much sooner than I would expect the car to have these kind of issues. It had blown struts, a control arm issue and a bad motor mount - among other small items. Rather than get into the money pit game I decided to get rid of it and trade it for a Subaru Outback. The roads in our area have a lot of potholes, so I decided to get something a little bit more rugged.

We recently purchased a used Mazda 5 with 59 K primarily because of the third row seat option when we have our 3 grandchildren with us. We took it on a long road trip and are pleased with the performance. The gas mileage is a little less on the highway than hoped (26 MPG). We have had a slight problem which we will need to get checked again. The engine light came on right after we bought it and we were told twice that it was because the gas cap not tightened enough. We have made sure that we tighten the gas cap after refueling, but the light stays on. Other than this, we are pleased with our new ride.

My 2006 was bought used with 75,000 miles on it and now has 240,000 miles. Still going strong. Just passed another state inspection, so I'll have it at least another year. Reliable, efficient, comfortable but definitely NOT luxurious. Noisy at highway speeds. A/C is weak, but reliable. Cargo room is awesome for such an efficient and easy-to-park car. Gas mileage is 34 mpg highway. It needed no repairs until 230,000 miles: brake master cylinder and booster? had to be replaced - less than a thousand bucks. I load it with camp gear and tow a sailboat to the ocean, use it for hauling all kinds of stuff, including my 3 kids and their gear. Size and turning radius make it very maneuverable in cities and tight parking spaces. Outstanding car.

We purchased with 20k miles on it, and it was a decent vehicle during the non summer months. There is no rear AC and the AC it does have is awful. Once we hit 90k miles, we've had nothing but expensive repairs done to the front end suspension. The Dealership, ie the EXPERTS, can't seem to fix it. Getting rid of it.
