Just Perfect!!!
This car suits us nicely. Excellent handling & braking, fun to drive, Sleek design inside out. One of my friends thought this was a hybrid car. Very flexible seating configurations and tons of standard equipments which are found on much more expensive cars.
Nice car
The Mazda 5 has been a great car that I can still fit my family of four in and all of the gear that you need for small children. The only negative that I have had was that the front passenger's seat does not have an armrest.

The total package in one vehicle!
All right, it's a minivan that's a 'hoot" to drive. I bought my "5" based on looks, features, color (whitewaterpearl), price and the most important item of all, it's a 5-speed. As I have owned it now for 6 months I am thoroughly pleased with what this vehicle gives me... dirving enjoyment! Mazda really did a great job in the overall design and build of this MAV. I have had no issues as of yet and find the fit and finish is excellent. My only complaint is that mazda didn't make a "speed5" version.
Great Little Van
I was amazed how much interior room this little van offers to its occupants. The expansive glass and high seating make for a very good driving position with great visibility. Seats are comfortable and supportive and they feature adjustment for lumbar support. Steering feel and feedback are excellent. Interior material is high grade and everything fits together nicely. Fuel economy is acceptable for a 4 speed automatic and with careful driving you may get 24/30 mpg for city and highway driving. A/C can be improved for the back seat passengers. For those who want to improve and beautify this nice little van there is a bunch of accessories available from your Mazda dealer.
Family zoom-zoom
We have the Sport model with auto transmission. This is the best family mover we have ever owned. We're two adults and two kids and it is just amazing how much room Mazda fit onto such a small footprint! The design is very versatile and convenient and I have no problem adjusting seating to my 6'4" body. Gas mileage has been around 25mpg so far. Getting kids and gear in and out is a breeze with the large sliders and hatch. Have not yet tried to fit another person in the third row but it's nice to have the option. I cannot confirm any of the previous posts about insufficient power or too much noise. The ride is amazingly quiet and we have not yet found a hill we could not easily climb.
