Senior citizen who likes performance and have been more than pleases with my Mazda5. Traded a 2008 Mazdaspeed3 (a great car) due to a requirement for more space. Mazda5 provides adequate (much better than expected after the speed3) acceleration, handles better than many small cars, provides good mileage. MPG has averaged low of 25 and high of 31.6 and provides the extra space that was needed. Will normally only carry four passengers so rear seat not a problem although my teenage grandson has no problem setting there. No problems since purchase.

Just bought this car at the end of June to replace a Honda Civic 4dr because we needed more room. We are a 3 person family and didn't need a larger car. This is a nice alternative because it doesn't look like a mini van, it looks more like a cross-over, but you get sliding rear doors. It has a lot of room inside, but appears kind of small on the outside. It has 44 cu ft of cargo space with the 3rd row folded, which is how we use it 95% of the time. But its nice to have the 3rd row option if needed, but the 3rd row is best suited for kids. The layout inside is good, very functional, with a lot of nooks to store things. Some reviews complain about the car's power, but I find just fine.

great gas saving mini van

I purchased this van due to it came out with 6 seats and great cargo space. Also, it has all safety features I need with very reasonable price. It's fun to drive and gas saving (23-28) , great driver position and great individual seats. It's easy to operate all feature and great rear air con control. Don't expect you could drive like Mazda 3. Instead of, it's great car for family like us ( 2 adult plus 2 teens). Great cargo space if you fold down the 3 row seat. So far, we all like it a lot.

Amazing Vehicle for the Money !

Bought a new 2010 Mazda 5 SPORT Automatic this weekend and I love the car! My wife and I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter and another due in September and we only need 1 car, so I added the "Popular Equipment Package" and "Fog Lights" to give it a "sporty" look and feel and I think the "car" looks and drives that way! The car handles very well in the city and has ample pickup for me. The seating/storage configurations are amazing and I marvel at the interior space that has been designed, it's just "smart". I am not worried about having 2 kids and lots a cargo for long trips in this beauty. If you are considering this car, not concerned about having AWD, it's an amazing vehicle for the price !

Best compromise

2010 Mazda 5 Grand Touring 4dr Minivan (2.3L 4cyl 5A)

We've got the GT for it's leather seats. It is much easier to clean milk spills off of them. We have two kids, 5 and 0.3. A minivan is something way too big for us, but we did want 3 raws seating. This is the best compromise we could find. Besides I've been in love with the looks since I saw it the first time. It's a little cramped. Fitting the rear facing baby seat in the second raw, makes the third raw unusable (almost). Loaded with all of us (plus grandma') there is not much room for stuff. A roof carrier is a must. All in all we feel we struck gold with this one. It fills all our needs and it's easy to park and fun to drive. And it looks cool
