"Priced like an import with the quality of a domestic"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rear strut leaked early in the life of the car.

Clunking in front end since around 20,000KM, but dealer NOT able to find/correct problem UNTIL the car was out of warranty. Now up to me to pay for the repair! Mazda Canada little help.

Suspension STILL creaks in winter when outside temp around 0 degrees or lower. Dealer claims to have repaired it during the previous winter, but it now creaks again loud enough for people walking on the sidewalk to hear.

General comments?

Handles well.

Not enough power when loaded with 4 people and A/C running.

Front tires wear very quickly, even though my driving is mostly highway.

Noisy inside, especially at highway speeds. Seems to be both road and wind noise.

Stock tires over-priced and under-perform. Had to replace around 70,000KM.

I have had similar complaints about my 2006 Mazda5 GT.

I have compiled them here:

Perhaps if we can get more owners to comment there, it will add pressure on Mazda to help us rectify our suspension issues!
