Yes. We owned a 2006 Mazda 5 with a stick and it was a great, dead nuts reliable car. I'd venture to say with the exception of the rear struts there isn't much to worry about.
I went 140k miles on my original tokico blues (Mazdaspeed Protege) but they should have been replaced around 100k. They handle great and you could probably autocross on them without much trouble
Been using OEM filters and Eneos since 30k miles. With the Eneos I've eliminated any oil consumption.
I replaced all four shocks/struts with Bilsteins, reusing the Tein springs. This time the setup is awesome. Much improved handling and ride.
So to play safe with any height of spring setups, you add Koni Yellow shock absorbers.
I recently replaced mine with Rain X wipers and I'm in love with them. It's been raining a lot here in California, but I can see perfectly!
I have the Continental DWS for my 2005 Mazda 6. It has served me well. You can feel the different even going on steep hills.
I had a pair of Rain X blades, and they streaked a lot. Returned them for the Icons, never looked back.
Cabin air filter, first gen Mazda 3. Getting to the filter is a pain.
I will never use castrol again, stupid dark bottle is annoying and makes it hard to tell how much is left
