Best Buy All Purpose Vehicle

One week after the purchase we had to turn our Mazda5 back to the dealer for the exhaust system recall. We have to say that Mazda handled it all very well. The vehicle is so correct in concept, design and timing that we could not resist it once we had driven it. We are car people and have owned many, many cars through the years. This one is the most versatile, useful, fun to drive package available. We have not experienced any power problems even loaded with 6 adults plus luggage. Family or not, this is one of the best buys out there.

The Mazda5 is the modern family vehicle for today's small families. Very stylish on the outside yet you get the feeling this vehicle was designed from the inside out with the driver in mind. I own a platinum silver Touring (GT in Canada) automatic. I've had the vehicle for a month. Would of never considered purchasing a Mazda till I saw the 5. Researched the vehicle & was very impressed, test drove it & fell in love with it. The only thing that held us back from buying was the longterm reliability of Mazda. Although improving dramatically the past few years it doesn't have the track record of Toyota; then again nobody does. In the end the quality and value of the package was too good to pass up.

Mine is a Sport with a five speed, phantom blue mica, with added on cassette player. I couldn't want any other vehicle.

Mazda5 Complaint

I never thought I’d be filing a Mazda5 complaint, but here it is. Consumer Reports raved about it, so I bought one. What a mistake. If service is even remotely important to you, you will have a Mazda complaint too. My Mazda5 has a bad burning smell coming from the engine into the cabin. It stinks and gives me a headache. I’ve taken it to two different dealerships for service; both simply disagreed with me and refused to do anything. It’s hard to consider any of the pros of this vehicle with this problem present. I was looking forward to a happy experience with this vehicle. The Mazda5 has been a huge disappointment.

Awesome car, great price, seats six, hauls like nothing else. Minivan like use, non-minivan look. Must see, must sit, MUST DRIVE! ZOOM-ZOOM!
