Dude just like me, I do drive an Element and my wife drives a Mazda 5, my advise to you on the Mazda concentrate on the suspension components that’s Mazda’s weak point, also keep an eye on the transmission mount.
very similar to the Honda element, they lack in suspension and mounts/bushing. Thanks! How do you like it so far? and what kind of MPGs are you getting or any repairs?
@@projectkodMPG slightly better than the Element, I usually get 25mpg hwy/ 19 to 20 city, I do have OEM roof rack with a Thule visor, some people say that don’t help mpg, drivability after the suspension and mounts upgrades bruh!!! It feels solid to the ground and grippy on the curves. Repairs after 185k and still going strong, coolant water outlet cracked but $20 later fixed other than that just routine tune up & brakes the usual. I love my 5
@elsoldabatey109 yeah we weren't ready to commit to a bigger v6 van yet. So thought we buy this and try it out. But I have to say I am starting to see why everyone eventually upgrade to v6s or bigger suv/vans. They are just much more comfortable. Yah I read most get around 23mpg average and highway is where u get most.. street always sucks. I also have ti say it's pretty zippy like they say. Not fast but has its pick up speed.

relocate TCM
What's that? Transmission related, and why relocate?
