New 2010 owner

Greetings! I joined back in 2012 and finally purchased a silver 2010! Just got back from the dealership.

Cool. I've had my 2010 since August, and like it a lot. Be sure to take advantage of all the info here regarding potential problems common to the vehicle: oil cooler gasket, suspension noise, rear tire wear, etc. Not huge problems once you read the repair experience of other owners here!

Great year. Congrats.

Hi, we also just got a 2010 Mazda5, with the stick/manual 5spd. We love the sporty ride! So far, so good! presently researching cabin filter replacement...

Just find an online dealer of OEM parts. I don't think there's such a thing as a Napa or Autozone replacement.

+1 Shop around but note that you "get what you pay for". Dealer is a safe but pricy bet. Been through the cheapest and most expensive aftermarket option.

Mine is a CPO from a Mazda dealership. Some people automatically change all the fluids plus other maintenance once they buy a used car. Can I just start my counter the day I got the car and assume the dealership did their due diligence on the maintenance? I'm probably OK with a CPO but what would you do?
