Amazing Vehicle for the Money ! - 2010 Mazda Mazda5
By Sammy - August 16 - 10:26 pmBought 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, its 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, its an amazing vehicle for the price !

Mazda5: Nimble and a great value! - 2010 Mazda Mazda5
By ljmattox - September 12 - 3:10 amOur new Mazda5 is filling our need for a versatile, fun-to-drive, and economical vehicle. We chose the Sport model as its the only version with a stick shift, yet even this most basic version includes automatic climate control, four-wheel disc brakes, alloy wheels, traction control plus stability control, and a plush-enough interior for long trips or evenings out with friends. Well likely use the 6-person capacity only rarely, but still nice to have, while more frequently 4 people travel with plenty of room in very-adjustable captains chair seating. At its price point, no other competitor includes as much content or room. Or seems as nimble-handling and fun to drive on a daily basis.

Love it! - 2010 Mazda Mazda5
By Alex - July 18 - 10:00 amI did so much research before finally deciding on the Mazda 5. Economical, trendy, plenty of interior room, and a fun drive. I love the fact that it has the functionality of a minivan but its easier on the packets (both price and gas mileage). I feel it has great pickup on the highway (as long as you plan on staying within 5 - 10 miles above the legal speed limit the car is great, why would you need more pickup in a family car?). The basic model comes with great features and it so fun to drive! I love it and nothing else on the market would have fit my family so well. Weve put 6 in the car with no complaints but I would put kids or shorter/thinner adults in the back row.

Best Car Ever! - 2010 Mazda Mazda5
By mandydj - September 13 - 10:35 pmLove this car! Comfortable to drive, and ride. Great acceloration, great room, I have three kids and I use this car for work, I drive my clients to their apointments, grocery shopping, etc. Love the sliding doors. Very easy, dont have to worry about tight parking spots. I love the back seats, you can put them down for cargo or use them. The only complaint I would say it is a little bumpy, and a lot of road noise on the freeway. Other than that, Its the perfect car.

I have two of these: Used as Taxicabs. - 2010 Mazda Mazda5
By GT - December 29 - 10:43 pmI have two of these and I use them as taxicabs. I have a fleet of 14 cabs and have used Subaru Outbacks, and Volkswagen Passatts. We put about 50-60,0000 miles a year on each of our cars. The VWs cost me about $4,500 a year to maintain and the Mazdas cost me about $1400 a year. The car is solid and well built in my opinion. Im gonna buy ten more once the VWs all blow up their engines, which I know will happen since almost every VW Ive had blew up after around 150,000 miles. Highly recommended.

The Mazda5 = Fun to Drive! - 2010 Mazda Mazda5
By eml5150 - July 27 - 2:16 pmBought for a family of four replacing an 02 Ford Explorer. We leave the third row seats down 95% of the time and there is plenty of room. The 2.3 is powerful enough to zoom-zoom and acceleration is not as bad as some automotive reviews state; unless you pack it with 6 adults regularly or youre addicted to the throttle it will do just fine. Driving the automatic in sport mode provides better throttle response. Its fun to drive and its handling is impressive. The dynamic stability control and traction control are a safety feature finally available this year. Braking is very good. It stops quick. Dont spend more and settle for less. Mazda5 quality and features are a great buy for the money.

Just Bought My New 2010 Mazda5 7/10 - 2010 Mazda Mazda5
By luv2drive - February 15 - 1:50 pmOk so I just bought this, honeymoon isnt over only 1k miles on it. Went on a trip w/family little cramped on room but they have racks & a basket or container for purchase will def.invest in one of those.Overall zipping around town love it,look love it,performance loaded,ran great not a slug. Used to drive a loaded suburban this forces me to not keep as much junk in the back as I usually do. It is easy to clean truly a fun car to drive. I dont feel Im in a mom car whatsoever, feels like Im in a little sporty vehicle. Cant say much more than I LOVE IT! You will too but it will force you to keep it clean =@). I have 3 kids one is 16 & tall,very comfy in it and in back row.
