 We just sold our 2008 Mazda 5 GT that we purchased new in 2009.   Over 8 years, it was a reliable vehicle that served us well. It never left us stranded and rarely went in for service or it was something a do-it-yourself person of average skill (me) can handle.  If you value the driving experience, Mazda is a good one to consider for any of their vehicles. Mazda's drive like Honda's used to,  lots of feedback and engagement for the driver.  If you're looking for refinement and quiet, this is not your vehicle.  Pros:  Fun to drive little box, excellent automatic transmission, unique character and utility.  Cons: Road noise, corrosion protection lacking and "people or stuff" choices.  If you need to carry 3-4 people and stuff, it's fine. More people or more stuff, you should buy something larger.  Gas mileage is so-so, especially compared to many 2015+ vehicles, but it was the most efficient minivan you could buy in 2008.  Our GT(Grand Touring) version lacked nothing in creature comfort and the HID headlights were worth the money.  We enjoyed this vehicle, it worked for us and it was rare to see another one, which is nice.  If you are looking for one, be sure to check underneath the rear wheel arches for rust, as well as underneath the vehicle, especially in salty areas.  Problems were mostly suspension related, which were fixed fairly early on.  Be warned that this vehicle is hard on tires and we never got more than 15000 miles out of a set, although western PA is hard on tires and brakes, the forum's will tell you the same story.
