How is your 05-06 Mazda5 holding up?

BabyKaykes · Feb 27, 2014

Title pretty much says it all. This is going to be the last year we drive the 04 T&C and I have been in love with the Mazda5 since it's release. Also, they changed the interior a bit one year. Anyone know which year? I think it had something to do with the funky seatbelts in the 3rd row?

The interior was changed in 09 and exterior redesigned in 12. I have a '10 and I've been really happy with it. I bought it new. I believe Debbie (Defrost) has an 06.

I have an '07 which is a first generation model. Ours has been good so far, we've replaced the shocks and struts and had to replace the clutch when we bought it. It's been very reliable though, even with temps of -20*f it's started perfectly for me. It's got about 75,000 miles now so Josh is planning on replacing a belt that's getting a little worn and changing the spark plugs before we take Aubrei to the Children's Hospital in a few weeks. I love that little car, it's just fantastic and I have a lot of fun driving it.

I have an 06 and it is awesome - mine only has 61, xx miles and runs great. We are currently looking at upgrading to the 2013.
2008 is when they did some minor changes to the interior (armrests, different dash, nicer fabric on the seats and rear air). 2012 was the complete redesign.

I should add -
If you are looking at an 06-07 be sure to check the shocks and sway bar bushings - there were problems with those. Mine had the sway bar issue, luckily I got it fixed for cheap.
