My wife and I loved this car when we bought it and still love to drive it. 3 years old now with 25k mostly around town miles on it and and experiencing some of the same problems that others have posted. OEM tires need replacing. Right rear shock blew just recently. Clutch engages very high on the pedal and will probably need replacing soon. Plus the car has always pulled to the right even after it was aligned and re-aligned. Other than these issues, we still find the car very functional for carting the kids around and taking family trips. My wife still loves it, but I'm starting to think that it may be come a money pit in the next few years.

Perfect Car?

Xenon headlights. Bluetooth. Auto rain sensing wipers. Heated seats. Room for 6. Low 20's sticker. Is there a better vehicle on the market? We purchased our Mazda 5 last month and have not only loved the car but enjoyed tanks averaging above 30 mpg around town. Our growing family fits perfectly, our four dogs love the folded down cargo area, and we just came home from Vegas through snow with the vehicle handling perfectly. Notwithstanding some minor build quality issues, is is the best new vehicle we have owned in the last five years - and we have purchased 6. I recommend this vehicle to anyone. Best of luck trying to find a better overall value.

I am absolutely thrilled with this car! I've only had it a few days but I wish I had gotten it 2 years ago when my baby was an infant. By far, the best thing about this vehicle is the sliding doors and second row bucket seats. Access to the carseat is perfect and it is so easy to get the baby in and out. Having bucket seats (with armrests) gives plenty of elbow room. The center console in the second row is also great for feeding the baby in the car. Love the storage compartment under the seats too. I drove it on a 4 hour trip and loved the armrest and steering wheel controls. The hatchback allows easy access (already changed the baby back there!). Love this car!

Most company reviews say if you're over 6 ft tall you will have no room in the 5. WRONG! I am 6'4" and have plenty of room to spare. With the steering wheel tilted up and the seat back I actually have to much room and still plenty of head room,I just wish the break pedal was slightly to the left more about an inch. I wear 14 wides. It doesn't get in the way it would just give more peace of mind of not getting caught on it. overall I recently just got it and my wife got a kia rondo. My Mazda is a lot more comfortable especially the headrests. being tall the angle of the kia headrests kills my neck
