So long Mazda5

[was98strat]

Its been a good run, but with all the upcoming repairs it was time to move on. Already spent over $2500 this year in repairs and still have 4 new tires to buy, after market kit to finally fix the reacamber issue, right front wheel bearing to do, Clutch to replace, rear wheel-well rust to fix (and that's all assuming nothing else decides to break!). It was a good hard run. 200,000km of "Toronto and GTA torture road" driving! I really think the city planners around toronto purposely dont do road maintenance and get kickbacks from the repair garages

2006 MAazda5 is leaving the fam and a brand new 2012 Ford Escape -manual transmission is taking it's place! it's adifferent kind of driving, and I'll miss the zoom-zoom of the 5 but I just cant look at the new 2012/2013 mazda5 it's just been ruined!

see you all on the road out there somewhere!!

Nice choice! Same engine anyway and they're clearing those things out for dirt cheap, $18k or something? Enjoy your new ride! Just don't almost roll one over like I did with a rental lol. SUV, not sporty MPV.

Sad to see an original ’06 owner leave but it has served you well and I’m sure someone in need of cheap transport will pick it up. Happy trails.
