  Choose your niche - 2014 Mazda Mazda5
  By dougiesc - April 24 - 4:18 pm

  Definitely a niche car, best suited for a family of 4 plus groceries or luggage. It works for us, but if you really need the passenger or luggage space, go with a full-sized minivan. This isnt it. It is basically a 4-seat wagon with a couple of child-sized extra seats in the back--which you cant use if you carry much luggage. However, the usual three-passenger sedan bench seat is replaced with two full captains chairs and a table/platform for drinks, books, whatever. The car is solid and quiet. Good adult leg- and head-room (except for those pesky far-back seats). It is cheaper than any full-sized minivan, gets somewhat better fuel economy, and is more maneuverable.

  Watch out for bad paint on Mazda5 and no warranty coverage! - 2014 Mazda Mazda5
  By stowevter - August 7 - 4:06 am

  We have a Mazda5 Sport with only 22,000 miles. The paint around both front wheel wells has flaked off to bare metal. And, the paint along the rocker panels on both sides and up the doors 12-18 inches has also flaked off, ruining the finish. Mazda refuses to cover the repair of this and says that something on the roads "back east" used for snow removal caused the paint to fail. Unbelievable but they wont cover a fix. I have filed an arbitration claim with the Better Business Bureau. Beware of Mazda cars "back east" -- they have a paint adhesion problem! see site: my mazda sucks dot com

  Its not a minivan its a SUPER WAGON - 2014 Mazda Mazda5
  By wnull - November 10 - 8:42 pm

  when our 2007 mazda3 was totaled we knew we wanted another mazda. we had that car since new with 130k on it and no issues. We also wanted something for our growing family but yet something kind of fun to drive. My wife refuses to drive anything but a manual transmission. So the mazda5 has fit the bill for everything. we dont usually have more than 4 people in the car at a time but its nice to know we can fit 6 if needed. If you plan on taking this for long vacations using all six seats..BUY the roof rack! MPG so far has averaged 28/ best 32..mostly hwy and long stretches of 40mph roads during my commute. For a young couple that like smaller maneuverable cars this is the way to go!
