  Car of my dreams - 2009 Mazda Mazda5
  By Ampster - September 21 - 4:46 am

  Finally got the car Ive had my eye on since the summer of 2005 when they first came out. Had been driving a 2007 CX-7 but just wasnt happy--had those famous fuel system issues/CEL 4 times. My 2009 GT was fresh off the truck. Ive never had so much fun driving in my life. Took a hit when I traded in a car soon after buying...and I couldnt care less. Our two kids love it, my husband loves it and I plan on holding on to this as long as it still rolls.

  Exactly What I wanted - 2009 Mazda Mazda5
  By spewgilist - September 9 - 4:05 pm

  I bought my 2009 Mazda 5 GT new after stumbling on the model while looking for a car that would provide a comfortable ride for 4 adults and let me carry all the things for which I normally have to have a mini-van. I wanted sliding rear doors, I wanted captains chairs, I wanted a leather interior and heated seats and a few other amenities to which I have become accustomed and I was able to get them all in the GT for around $10-$15K less than a regular minivan. Ive had the car for 4 years now and I have put over 76K miles on it and I still love it and find it an incredibly versatile and reliable car.

  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!
