Change oil and other fluids on a regular basis. I was also fortunate that most of my commuting to work was on the freeway.

My Mazda 5 GT turned 200,000 miles today, bought new in December 2008. Still running good.😉

This is really strange. A few weeks ago I replaced a license plate bulb and to check it, I turned on my parking lights (from the auto setting). Then I forgot to turn them off (car's in the garage) and the next morning the battery was too weak to start the car. I then hooked up my battery...

Also on my third set of tires. Approaching 192,000 miles now. I figure Ill reach 200,000 sometime this fall, unless I do a summer road trip.😉

Thanks, probably won't put that much money into the car. It has ~189,000 miles, not sure how much longer it will last.

Just last month, my Mazda 5 radio's bluetooth completely stopped saving my iPhone 6s+. So it's not recognized when I start the radio. The issue first started several months ago when it would only save my iPhone for a few weeks, then "forget" it. Tried disconnecting the battery to reset the...

Forgot to post, but December 28 marked the 10 year anniversary of my Mazda 5 Grand Touring since I bought it in 2008. It now has 188,302 miles on the odometer, most of it freeway miles since I live 31 miles from the office. So far it's been great, no major mechanical problems, just maintenance...

I have 185,000 miles on my 2009 Grand Touring model. Havent had any problems. Mostly freeway driving.

I have a 2009 GT. It has leather seats and rear led lights. I believe the touring model only has cloth seats. The base sport model doesnt have a sunroof nor fog lights.

I have a 2009 5 Grand touring which I bought new 12/2008. I now have 171,576 miles. Usually average 25-28 mpg, mostly freeway driving to work. Been a very reliable car. Kept up on all the maintenance. Have only replaced the usual: battery, rear shocks, filters, fluids, and just got my third set...

Hi, hoping someone will have an idea what I should check? I have a 2009 Grand Touring that has no air flow from the front side vents on the instrument panel. The two inside ones adjacent to the radio/CD player work fine. Does anyone have suggestions to what may be restricting the air flow? Thanks!

Rearview mirror I got one with the compass for my 2009 Mazda 5 a few years ago. Works really well, can be programmed for 3 garage door openers. I installed it myself, came with good instructions. Hardest part was getting the interior trim off on the passenger side pillar to put the wire behind...

Does anyone know what type of bulb this is? Mine burnt out and I can't find the bulb type anywhere.

Experience with Yakima Control Towers on road trip A couple of weeks ago I went on 1,400 mile trip with the Yakima rack and #11 control towers as discussed on this thread. After reading other users experience with the control towers, I decided to go that route. I already had the Yakima 54"...

I have one If anyone else needs one.
