New Mazda 5 owner

[Mr2nice]

Just want to say that I am proud to be a new mazda5 owner and hopefully nothing bad will come out of this car. My car is a 2008 sport I believe cause there's no fog lights nor sunroof or any other fancy stuff. I have only owned the car less than a month and already did previous upgrades or so you call it Modifying.

-fog light switch
- oem fog lights
- 6000k led headlight bulbs
- 3000k led fight light bulbs
- double din Kenwood and dash kit
- 6 inch antenna
- window visor
- weather tech front, middle and rear matts
- asahi tec 17x8.25 wheels offset -14

Looking to do other stuff to it as a daily for me and my wife. Looking to get fender flares,lip kit etc.

I already have modified few of my cars and it's time to make this so called van fun for me and my family.

Anything I should know that goes bad on these cars?

Welcome!

Various suspension problems are common, especially the rear struts. Have a look round at the older repair threads.

Transmissions, sway bar bushings are known issues. You may want to change your ATF if it hasn't been done recently. How are the LED headlights? - from what I read, they don't work very well - as in not much light down the road and/or blinding people.

Previous owner have done a lot of work on the vehicle.

- new muffler
- front pads and rotors
- front end links
- front lower control arm
- trans flush


Whoever owned it has well maintained the vehicle

As for the led headlights it's surprisingly bright as for 6k. And the dogs are nice to

Don't know how to post pictures up???
