Reviewing the Carfax, it was a rental car for about 50k and then it was a personal car for the next 53k. Both seem to have kept up with maintenance decently as far as oil and filter changes go, but not much else. I didn't see any rust on the bottom, it drives smooth, suspension still seems good, and the dealership replaced the brakes (and put nitrogen in tires so the car goes 1000000x faster).

Pros: drives smooth, suspension good

Vehicle: Mazda

Mileage: 165752 km

Pros: less than $200 parts

Cons: three hours of work

OEM ceramic brake pads can last 60k to 90k miles.. But they're not that expensive if you change them yourself. Very easy on Mazda, best changed at about 50k miles of normal driving, before they wear too much more, to keep quality OEM rotors for longer.

Pros: easy to change

Cons: cheap replacements won't last

Mileage: 80467 km

I have the 2023 Rockcreek edition, and at 60,500 KM and regular maintenance, no problems to report. Had to do one wheel alignment so far, and change the brakes both front and back at around 48,000 KM which was the only problem. They need bigger brakes. But I also pull twice a year a trailer for vacations which is almost 4000 lbs. so i guess it might be normal.

But overall I’m happy with it.

Cons: brakes need replacement early

Vehicle: Nissan Pathfinder

Mileage: 48000 km

Cx5 2024, one year old and the brakes are completely shot and need to be replaced. I was quoted like 1.5k and the manufacturer only offered $500 discount on the new brakes. I’m honestly appalled.

Cons: brakes completely shot
