The 2008 Mazda Mazda5 for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2008 Mazda Mazda5 for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2008 Mazda Mazda5, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the Mazda5
Owners filed 67 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, suspension and tires; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Engine and fuel
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
What the Mazda5 is like
As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Try before you buy
A week with the Mazda5 answers more than any brochure. A test week in the Mazda5 tells you more than any review. Rent the Mazda5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Let us know
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2008 Mazda Mazda5 from us first.
