2009 Mazda Mazda5 Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Sliding doors and still drives live a car. Has enough power to drive uphill 5 miles with 4 people and lots of groceries. It is very easy for kids to get in by themselves in the bucket seats. I back seats fold down easily for more storage.

Very spacious, dual sliding back doors. Collapsible 2nd row captains seats with console, 3rd row seating. Excellent fuel mileage and easily serviceable. Includes. Cruise and on-steering wheel audio controls.

Fair gas mileage for how much you can fit in the car. Fairly comfortable seats. It has a great ac and heating system. It has held up fairly well since 2009 and has over 100,000 miles on it and is still running fairly well. It is a good starter car, especially for a college student who needs to haul their stuff back and forth.

Where I live it is more prone to rust. Problems always arise after the warranty is up. No USB ports. There are many parts that cannot be replaced because of rust and corrosion such as the air conditioning. Other things that fail later on are doors and windows.

The wheelbase is short. Spare tire is basically a one-time use spare with basic scissor jack and tire tools. Interior is plastic and vinyl which is easy to clean but can be very hot during summer months.

Goes through tires like nobody's business. I have never had to replace so many tires on a vehicle. We've had various problems with the engine and the suspension is terrible, which is part of the reason for the continually ruined tires.
