Mazda Mazda5 2010Change

I bought this car to help me out for work but found it to be a great family car. Travel from Elliot Lake to Stoney Creek a couple times a year to visit family. We can fit everything into the car with loads of space left over. One of the best vehicles I have purchased.

The Mazda 5 is a great family car. It can seat 6, but the rear 2 seats are very tight. Lots of space for family trips. A great car at an affordable price.

Only a full size mini-van could be more practical but the handling and control difference from a larger, clumsy van is night and day. This car is probably the best car we have ever owned. It won't impress your friends with it's lack of style or the fact that it is not a popular SUV, but this car will do so many things with ease. It lacks just a bit of power when fully loaded but it handles so well. Driving and parking in the city are a breeze. It hauls items inside and out of the weather that I can't fit in my full sized truck and you can get up to six people inside comfortably, though the last row seats are suitable for kids. We have had no major problems and there are no groans, creeks or rattles from the engine or chassis. Visibility and ergonomics are very good and it is well equipped with safety features. (I am quite sure that the stability control feature saved our lives during one rainy, highway incident.)
This reliable car is and has been a great car for all practical reasons. Its European style handling make it fun to drive and you will out-haul any sedan or small SUV.

This car is a great vehicle for getting around town without the expense (fuel) of a minivan. It has lots of room for groceries or for larger items when you have the back two seats folded down.
Sliding doors make an easy access to the second row seats.
The seating is higher for good visibility.
This is a great vehicle for those want a combination of car like fuel economy and space like a minivan for its size.

If you need a versatile fun to drive car that is good on gas, holds 4 to 6 people in comfort then I recommend the Mazda5 especially with the 5 speed manual transmission. Sliding doors make easy access to the rear bucket seats and you sit nice and high for great visibility.

I love my Mazda 5. I hope it had more space in the front and more space for storage. I found the tires were not reliable, but when I changed them the car performance was great and the ride was way smoother and breaking was also more smooth.

The MAZDA5 looks great and is a great vehicle for an active family. It has low fuel consumption rates and can survive hundreds of long trips across the continent. The car rarely stalls and feels great to drive.

I find the gas miledge changes week to week, But in generaly I get between 450-530 km per tank. Costing me 58-56 to fill.
Seating is comfortable although small in the back. Luggage room is very limited. I also do not car for the fabric of the seats, it catches anything and everything (sticking to it)
The car handles great and accellerates good as well.

Have had the car for two years and really haven't had to put a whole lot of money into it. I'd say about 400 in the past 2 years on shocks, things like that.

Compared to similar vehicles from other manufacturers, this car is a good value for the money. It is light on frills, but is relatively comfortable.

In January of 2011 I got in a pretty bad car accident due to a winter storm and a slippery highway. My Mazda 5 took all the impact in the front leaving my car full of friends safe. Even without winter tires this car was able to stabilize after spinning out of control. Although it was costly to repair the body of my car, it was well worth it because I am alive today!

I rented this vehicle and found that I fell in love with it instantly. My daughter cried when we had to bring it back!
It is comfortable, reliable and very easy to drive. I would recommend this car to anyone.

3 x 2 seating is only the beginning of the features that make the Mazda 5 a great vehicle for families. Excellent fuel economy given the commodious interior space, and sensible features all add up to a very smart car for the budget-conscious parent who still wants a nice car to get from A to B.

Minivan for small families who commute in the city, the Mazda5 strikes a balance that few other vehicles hit. With front-wheel drive and a 153-horsepower, 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, along with a carlike multi-link suspension setup it feels very carlike—and quite peppy .

It is a great spacious vehicle for my 4 member family.

If you are looking for a car and not a minivan that holds a lot of cargo or sits 6? If you have kids that need to go to hockey or football practice. Go and get a mazda5. This thing feels like a car and not a boat. It has power and can get you from a to z safely.

Overall Mazda 5 is a great little car if you have an extended family. I love the sliding rear doors, and the fact that I can fit 3 car seats with no problem. It is easy to park and fuel efficient. The engine is strong but I find the brakes are not smooth enough. This car has seating for 6, but the rearmost two seats can only fit a child or small adult. The rearmost two seats can be folded down for expanded cargo space, but in case you occupy one of the two there is no space for a stroller and groceries. I would recommend installing a top rack for storage in case you take the car for a long trip.
