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).
Good Value for Money

Overall good value for money. It cost less than what I paid for a new Camry 6 years ago! It has all the features that a family with 1 or 2 kids needs. Would not really recommend if you are traveling with 6 passengers on a regular basis. Sliding doors is definitely a plus point and makes taking the baby in/out quite a breeze. Interior, controls layout is quite nice. Seats are easy to fold and good use of space under the seats.

I've had my Mazda 5 for 2 weeks. Gas mileage is awesome compared to my gas guzzling SUV. I'm averaging 24 in the city and a recent drive to Los Angeles from San Diego was about 30mpg's. I couldn't be happier. This is not a luxury vehicle by any means, but if you like practical, this is the car. If you're tall or bigger you might feel it's too small. Getting my kids in and out is easy with the sliding doors on each side. I haven't had any issues with power. It gets up hills without any problems and merges on to freeways fine. So far this car is great for the price! I hope to get reliability over the years as it's too early to tell. Also would like to know how it does in crash tests.
FInally got our Mazda5!

After waiting 2 months we finally got our car. We had purchased it right before the recall so we didn't even see it until a week ago. This car drives smoother than any other vehicle I've driven. It has tons of zip yet lots of space in the interior. What a difference compared to our 1999 Ford Windstar that just died on us. The Mazda5 is also very quiet in the interior. I've almost turned the key not realizing it was on. And on the highway it performs well and is a quiet ride. I'm also impressed with how little gas this vehicle uses. After having a Windstar (glug, glug) I don't have to gas up as often. In the week I've driven I've only had to fill up once and I drive a lot.
Fits the bill!

We have 2 kids (7 and 5) and a dog. As the name says, no minivans allowed (been there, done that). Wife was leasing an '02 CR-V which was a great vehicle in itself, but with price for the CR-V getting up there, the Mazda5 caught my eye. I had the wife, go test drive one expecting her to not like it (she is a staunch Honda person). Turns out she loved it, so we decided to lease one. Of course this was 1 week before the recall so we don't get it until October. So far we are loving it. Fun to drive, just took 6 to breakfast (4 + 2 grandparents), and the sliding doors are keeping the carnage down in the parking lots. Overall a tremendous value for hauling the family around!
