Mazda 1973-2018Change

the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned, controls are easily accessible almost like being in a cockpit, seats seem to wrap around me

This car provides security and stability for highway travel, is roomy enough for a family of 5 and offers great fuel economy.

This was our second Mazda 5 first one was a 2007 which my mom still owns, I bought my 2012 in 2015 with 80,000kms on it. I bought it because I loved driving my moms. It gave me the driveline feel of a Mazda 3 (which I owned before this) but the ride height of an SUV.

It also had room in the back for my Golden Retriver which was a huge bonus! It also included the flexibility of being able to have 6 people in the vehicle (yes slightly cramped but Share some room between all three rows and everyone will be content).

Positive:
Lots of room for 4 people +luggage
Fuel economy
Pep when hitting gas pedal
Radio position
Trip computer
Auto Climate Control
4car seat fix points

Negatives:
Noisy on the Hwy
No rear cup holders
Only 6seats (could have and seat in the middle of the second row)
Drivers seats doesn't move back far
Small tires
Fwd only
Fuel economy

You might of noticed I put fuel economy on both.... well it is great most the time, you really have to baby the gas pedal to save fuel. This car loves to "Zoom Zoom" and the gas really shows it. I averaged 9.4l/100kms.

The only reason I decided to get rid of the car was that I wanted something with AWD. This car would of been FANTASTIC with AWD and would of made it through everything. (It is lots of fun the snow).

Over all I love this car and would buy it again in a heart beat (if it came out with AWD; but I have been told it will be discounted as of fall 2017.

I hope this review helps you decide on your next vehicle.

For being 10 years old and 100,000+ kms this car is pretty great. It's easy to drive, safe, and doesn't cost much at the gas station.

sporty ride, but still lets me take my kids to school. I would highly suggest this to anyone one who used to drive sports cars and is looking for a fun fast sedan

I feel very secure with my Mazda, l havé do do 50miles to go work and 50 bacs home ,and i appreccied very much the AWD on winter . Anorther thing thar i like is the détection in mirrors

Beautifull car and cost no alot gaz to travel. I paid it in 1 years and now i have a good confortable car during #0 years like free cuz payment is done. 40$ by week to gaz

fub fir drifting on the dirt but thats about all its good for every one ive seen has been extremeley rotten mine was super rotten i guess if u find a nice 5 speed one they run for ever but other then that would not reccomend

havent had any problems, almost 400k kilometers and still running strong, shifts well and stars in any weather no roblems at all.

I travel alot for work and when bringing my kids around to hockey. I love the car for its great fuel economy, and comfort. My kids love the car too, which is even better for me as I don't need to hear their whining in the back seat of the car whilst out on long trip round' town and around the province. It's interior design isn't too fascinating, but it surely makes up for it for it's great fuel economy and as I said, it's comfort!

If you want a car that is fun to drive, decent on fuel and compact, the Mazda 4 hatchback is for you. We were able to haul a surprisingly amount of stuff with it. It is an overall fun car ro drive and is relatively comfortable.

This car is a great value. It runs very smoothly and is extremely reliable. Comfortable for long drives and absolutely wonderful on gas.

Just got this car as a 2nd vehicle and everything is delivered as expected. Nervous car with confortable seatings . The hatchback version can fit my marshall amp and ther is still room !
Low on gas and fun to drive , I reccomend it to everyone

Despite only having an mediocre engine (especially for a "SPORT" model), this car handles and maneuvers incredibly well compared with its class, and still has enough zip to satisfy most drivers.

The aesthetic design and styling are mostly quite good, and the accouterments are about on par with similar vehicles on the market.

The "guts" of the car have aged well to this point, with no major concerns yet.

I'm somewhat less impressed by certain cosmetic features over time (unusually loud road noise at speed, multiple very noticeable rattles, a significant amount of plastic in the interior), but nothing that's a deal-breaker.

This is a solid, generally well-built car that serves my needs exceptionally well.

I love this car, he handle wheel and look nice. confortable for long ride. I'm tall and it's the only ride that I feel confortable. The stearing isn't to stif and feel like a race car

I have drove the car for over 160,000 km, it is a pretty good car.
We liked the CX-7, though its base four-cylinder engine was lackluster in terms of power and fuel economy. The feisty turbocharged upgrade engine easily cured the performance problem, but its fuel mileage was worse than the fuel economy of some larger, V6-powered crossovers. As more well-rounded and fuel-efficient competition sprang up, sales of Mazda's compact crossover decreased steadily.

I bought mine from a deal 1500$ wich was a decent price a year aga , 243k`km I'm at 248k and spent 2800$ on repairs . including , alternator , barjoints , front left table , rear left shock , everything is falling apart one afther another.....

Now I have the same shock to do..... its about confortable , quite surprising for the horsepowers , great motor , it has received a lot of hard times on the clutch , transmission , nothing has failed me on the mechanical aspect beside the alternator.

two thing to take in consideration 1st , nothing stop it from rusting , 2nd reliable mechanic , for an old model its quite economic and like anything made by Japanese , it is a good car !

easy to find parts , not so expansive compared to other brands....

hard to sell back , since the rust hit the car like sun in summer....

to say short and sweet !

bag of rust with good guts and bad legs !

IT is a nice car, with good performance and power. It handles really well. The interior is very small and cramped, especially the back.

This car is reliable and gets you from point A to point B. It's not going to win a beauty contest. and it has difficulty in winter weather sometimes up hills etc. It's not the most comfortable car. I'd say the seats are average. Somethings are backwards like the gas tank lock because of it being a foreign car. Ours is still going but its starting to rust out. Also, parts can be difficult to find and expensive because of the make.

No major issues with the car yet. I've had some minor ones that have been covered by the warranty though: weak power windows (sticking in both summer and winter), sticking brake calipers, malfunctioning infotainment center. I'm surprised that so many things would come up but I'm hoping that things will go smoother now that they've been identified and replaced.

Good car for the price, seats are nice and comfortable but the car could be a little bit faster as it is pretty slow even tho it is cheap.

I love ride in my mazda its magnific. If i have to buy an other car i ll buy the same because is a super car

i love the ride it gives its comfy and wide interior suites my needs as its large and reliable in 5 years i only changed a bearing and it still runs quite nice as its 100 000 km

Overall love this car! It is reliable, quick, sleek and fun to drive. The only issue we have had with this car in the past is space (my husband is 6 ft6 and therefore doesn't have a tonne of leg room) but for the average person it is perfect!

Nothing like it I've driven many cars but nothing like a Mazda 6 but I'll say that there a smaller car
