This is a really weird one. My car has (had) 62k miles, 2006 Touring 5 speed. Very well maintained, regular oil changes with synth or semi-synth. A week ago Monday I sold it to the first person to respond to my ad, and had two others as backup. A week later, got a call and email from him...

My 06 has me close to dumping it for something else, but there is nothing else like the 5 on the market. So far I have: replaced front stabilizer bushings replaced front swaybar links replaced front and rear shocks and struts replaced rear stab bar links and bushings I still have a clunk in...

There are a number of 06 Mazda5s out there, all automatics, that are former rental cars. They may or may not be good cars, but be aware that there is a strong chance that the low mile car you're looking at could be a former rental. Check the owners manual, trunk, and windows for logos or signs...

So, I'm an Audi/VW guy (founder of audifans.com, former owner of TDIParts.com). I just bought an 06 Mazda5 Touring, manual of course. Why? It was the only vehicle on the market that offered enough space for my growing family (3 kids), with good handling, decent performance, and an affordable...
