Good car for price
This is a good car for the sticker price. I found that the handling was good and the "power power" rating is incorrect. The AC could be more powerful. This is my second minivan & I am not complaining.
Minivan Meets Sports Car
If you have a young family, you're hip, you want economy, reliability, something with soul, and don't want to look "tied down", then this is the car for you. My wife drives this thing, and I can't wait to drive around the corners on the weekend. Although this car has a ton of utility, I drive for sport, which speaks tons if you want to avoid the mediocrity out there. With respect to the recall, don't let that scare you. Everything is being recalled nowadays. I have a current generation Honda CRV that was also recalled with a similar fire hazard. It was recalled and fixed. No Big Deal. In fact Mazda's service topped Honda, because, not only did the give us a rental, but $500 on top! WOW!

Love it
I have a 5 speed and love driving my Mazda 5. It has a nice tight sporty feel and revs quickly when prodded. I occasionally need the cargo space and the Mazda swallows up everything I need it for. It's a joy to own.
A Revolutionary Vehicle
This is an amazing vehicle that hopefully represents the future of car design! Fuel efficiency, sportiness, family friendliness, wise use of space all converge in the Mazda5. As a small family with one child that loves to take road trips, this is our dream car. If you're committed to being a responsible driver (using less gas), but want comfort, performance, and room; rush to your Mazda dealer now!
Great, but not a Road Car
I have a base model manual with no options. Ive had it for 2 weeks & 2675 mostly road trip miles. Great value, but one major negative: unsupportive drivers seat caused back pain after a few hours, despite adjustable lumbar support. Never had the problem in my recent road cars (Civics & a VW Golf).
