I put 220,000 miles on a Mazda six sport automatic transmission 2015 before my son wrecked it without doing anything except changing in the brakes and some steering parts and of course oil changes synthetic it had started to use a little oil between changes maybe a quart.
I bought the Mazda a while ago and hated it. I improved my skills and bought it again last night. It was a fucking blast. Have to be careful with the brakes and backend sliding but it is a straights rocket and has decent cornering without any assists.
My 2011 2.5 has 220,000 miles on it and it is the most reliable car I’ve owned yet. I bought it used with 45k miles and I have only replaced the tires once, the brake pads once, one engine mount, all belts including timing, and that’s pretty much it. The transmission still shifts pretty smoothly.
I took apart my fronts on my 2016 Mazda at 50k and was surprised that they were still at 50%.
I got Mazda 2 2013 and just had a replacement for both front brake pads and discs - $330 for the parts. $120 for labour.
Im late to this but ill chime in anyways.
Mine is a 2008 AWD GT with every option. Mileage is 130k. And I run on Regular gas.
By todays standards its a gas guzzler, and even thirsty in 2008, but CRVs werent hugely better.
Ive done nothing to it. Still on original brake pads. And recently replaced the rear wheel bearings.
I dont know why im so lucky except that i do oil changes frequently.
One thing about driving older cars is they arent narcing your driving habits to Mazda. Good to know about insurance.
Since it is top line, it has the Bose system which is decent, but i replaced the head so i could get Bluetooth.
I sincerely believe this car has at least 5 years life left in it.
i remember hearing a guy complain about his cx5 eating through brakes, but the cx5 is the same car as my mazda3, and my mazda3 has seen 70,000km for its rear brake pad/ 90,000km for the fronts, and I drive a mix of city/highway.
My cx9 was at 3mm on the rears at 52k. Get a caliper compression kit and it yourself. It's not very hard. I did my rears a month back in my driveway for $130.
brake screech that's omni present
I put OEM Brakes on my ‘19 3 GT AWD. I’m 20K KM into them, and they pulse like mad when I brake above 90KM/h. Absolute fucking trash. The factory brakes also did this, above 90KM, but started around 50K into their life.
