Starting in 2008, the a/c system includes two additional high-powered vents for back passengers. The system's worked well for my family in 98F, high-humidity weather.
 
A mile is still a mile, so unless you drive less, you'll get to 36k just as fast.
 
The cabin may be a little more quiet.

I just bought a 2008 mzd 5 gt two weeks ago.(the same as the 09) There is still no towing with a 5. They have added two a/c vents for the back of the car. I would suggest getting the windows tinted to help with that. I'm 6'1" and I have enough room in the drivers seat. I don't know about the noise issue I don't notice anything. The miles issue, I don't think there is an answer to that. Any car you get you will put miles on at the same rate. I really like the car. I told my wife we should buy another one since the deals are so good right now, (she said no)

....HA! I have the same problem, I love my MZ5 so much and its practicality I told my wife we should trade in her 2004 Ford Escape Limited and get her a 2009 Grand Touring, but its a no go for her. She tends to get attached to her vehicles and it is very hard to peel her away from them. I will keep trying......

I bought the 06 for wife and I liked it so much that when it was time to trade-in my old ride, another Mazda5 got in the way. Deals are great now, but I also got a good one for the 08 back in 07, especially because it also came with Manual Tranny, which are even more rare to find...

Considering Mazda5 for next car by simoncar

So the wife and I are considering a new car (maybe two new cars) to replace our high mileage cars (1995 Civic and 2000 Maxima)
 
I've a lot of reviews and many of these Mazda 5 forums - still have a few questions
 
1. This would be our first Mazda - worried a little about reliability. We would be expecting this vehicle to last 8-10 years with normal useage. What are Mazda owners opinions on reliability and build quality.
 
2. I kind of want a manual transmission - tell me your thoughts on whichever you have. Is the manual easy to drive - what about this manumatic or whatever Mazda calls this auto you can shift.
 
3. According to my logic - the manual transmission car should be sportier - that begins with fog lights for me and maybe the spoiler. Since Mazda won't give it to me - has anyone attempted these mods?
 
4. What other autos did you look at before picking the 5? Was the 5 an easy choice.
 
Hoping to test drive one later this week - but having a hard time finding a manual in DFW area

Regarding reliability, I bought another Mazda...
 
My last Mazda was an '87 323 Wagon. I sold it for $650 in 2002 with almost 240k miles on it and the original clutch -- which still did not slip.
 
The car spent all of it's life in the salt belt. Rust starting showing at roughly year 14.
