It’s been all change on the Mazda5 – since it was first built in 1999 it has undergone an extensive remodelling, including a name change. Originally, the Mazda5 was known as the Mazda Premacy and indeed it has continued to be sold under that name in Japan. When it was first introduced, it was one of the cheapest seven-seaters on the market. Its remodelling took place in 2005, when the Mazda5 name was brought to the forefront. Generally, the Mazda5 is considered a superior car to its predecessor and has scooped numerous awards – the 2005 model also earned a five-star Euro-NCAP rating.

Mazda 5 2ltr diesel sport 2006

Thought i was buying a car for cheap running costs. Not to be diesel particle filter light a problem and had to have it’s first service 10 months old and 7000 miles as the sump levels rise the service cost £259 is this right? Tyre wear horrific 7000 miles and tyres are ready to be replaced. They are like slicks on the edges.

Indeed. A very appealing package. The sliding doors and fold away seats are a class apart from the alternatives. However, the tyre wear issue is a real one. Mazda are more than aware of it, but to date are unwilling to treat all customers equally when it comes to replacements. A lot goes down to how good your dealer is as to how much compensation you get on a new set of tyres. Mazda keep claiming to have fixed the problem.... If they have the need to issue a recall to ensure that ALL the cars are reset and there are no potentially lethal cars left on the road. My advice is, if you have one keep a constant check on the inner edges of all the tyres and get to the dealer as soon as you notice uneven wear.... As for buying new... I am not sure I would replace mine....

An appealing package, very badly let down by appalling tyre wear issues under normal driving conditions. Expect to replace all four corners before 10,000 miles are up.
