Rating 4.5

Im late to this but ill chime in anyways.

Mine is a 2008 AWD GT with every option. Mileage is 130k. And I run on Regular gas.

By todays standards its a gas guzzler, and even thirsty in 2008, but CRVs werent hugely better.

Ive done nothing to it. Still on original brake pads. And recently replaced the rear wheel bearings.

I dont know why im so lucky except that i do oil changes frequently.

One thing about driving older cars is they arent narcing your driving habits to Mazda. Good to know about insurance.

Since it is top line, it has the Bose system which is decent, but i replaced the head so i could get Bluetooth.

I sincerely believe this car has at least 5 years life left in it.

Pros: reliable, long lasting
Cons: gas guzzler
Vehicle: Mazda
Mileage: 130000 km

Bosch’s Quietcast brakes have never done me wrong. I’ve used them in three vehicles now and had good pad life and performance on a budget. No squeaks, decent life for ceramics.

Pros: good pad life, no squeaks
Part number: BC1114, BC2045

OEM Mazda Brake pads

My cx9 was at 3mm on the rears at 52k. Get a caliper compression kit and it yourself. It's not very hard. I did my rears a month back in my driveway for $130.

Pros: easy DIY repair
Cons: rear pads worn at 52k
Vehicle: Mazda
Mileage: 52000 km

Bosch Brake pads

I bought me some Bosch ceramic brake pads that are being advertised as low noise and low brake dust. Instead, I'm getting massive amounts of brake dust on my rims.

Pros: low noise
Cons: massive brake dust
