    Mazda5 Battery Slow Draw/Not keeping a charge

    This would be worth a look at. My '07 had low battery issues. Had replaced new batt but still would have low cranking power or would need a jump. Pretty much it needed an alternator. Get it tested before you're left w/o power while driving..

    Would you still buy?

    Got an '07 tho, w/ 145k miles. Just as most have mentioned there are/will be parts that most likely will need to be replaced or already wearing down. Besides what's been mentioned, I would add thermostat and alternator as expected to wear out soon. Also check the serpentine belt for wear. I...

    Heater not working suddenly, warms up, not leaking now...

    ^^Like he said. I had that issue when I replaced my thermostat. Try squeezing the upper radiator hose several times till you don't see any bubbles surfacing. Run the engine for a bit, check your guage, and turn the heater on full.

    Odometer

    Yeah I'd like to know if there were any major work done to have it reach 250k miles? Got 140k miles on my '07 and have been contemplating whether to get rid of it for a newer vehicle or save the money and keep the MZ5..

    Blew a rear shock!!!

    I've had good experiences with PB Blasters. But then again I've never tried it on something as extremely corroded by elements that colder regions are exposed to.

I had "JDM Mugen" style before that came off after a year or so as it only was attached by adhesives. This one attaches both with adhesives and clips. A lot more secure plus the...
