  Excellent compact mini-van-wagon-thingy - 2009 Mazda Mazda5
  By 5-banger - January 19 - 10:33 pm

  Weve been looking for a compact, good on gas, more than 5 pax vehicle and the Mazda5 is just that. The only vehicle that would come close to its class is the Kia Rondo and IMO, looks somewhat weird. So far, the 5 has exceeded our expectations. Nice sporty styling, great utility, and standard features in this cute gas-sipper makes this vehicle an excellent value. Some people say that its underpowered, and probably is with a full load, but its more than adequate for my driving habits and the manual sport shift makes up for increased performance when needed. This 5 is fun to drive and you cant say that about a lot of minivans! Were very pleased with our 5!
