Ok

So for vehicle is OK . Doesn't need a performance suspension that eats tires if you don't rotate them . Now that's crazy . Rotate tires every 5000 are buy tires sooner

Almost perfect

This vehicle is fabulous. Great fuel efficiency, agile and easy to park, yet can fit an incredible amount of cargo/passengers. I only have two real complaints. 1) This car is noisy. Too much road noise. Really needs noise insulation work. 2) I wish it had about 2 inches more of head and leg room in all spaces. My family is unfortunately starting to feel crammed, as my boys are on track to be tall. If your family members are of average height or shorter, this can be a family car for life. But if your kids become tall, like 5'10 +, it ends up crammed.

Reliable

All considered an average car. I expected a better mileage, it had mechanical problems but all considered on average for the use. An hybrid or electric would be the best for this kind of car.

Nice little car, runs well, but not a gas saver

I purchased this vehicle in 2013 and it doesn't have high mileage. It's reliable and comfortable, can be quite useful for hauling: e.g. a wheelchair fits in easily. I used to give rides to some young people, I even had a lap belt installed in the center of the back seat so three could sit there with seat belts. I don't believe Mazda makes them anymore.

Great Car for the Price

I really enjoy driving my Mazda 5. Has plenty of room for vacations and drives like a small car.

This is a great car, in my opinion, good for a family or for hauling people short distances.

I have had this car nearly 5 1/2 years and it has given me no problems. My 72 month warranty expired and I did not need to use it. Hope it will continue to give me good service. I note on the Mazda web site that they are no longer making this model, have replaced it with a slightly larger model,, which I will consider if and when I need a new vehicle. I can carry 6 passengers, but I rode in the last seat last month, and it is not that comfortable. It's hard to get in and out of and sitting right on top of the rear wheels is not smooth riding.

Excellent car

We purchase this car in 2011 and have traveled all over southern Canada and across the US without any problems. Good gas mileage. Highly recommend this car!

Mazda 5 Touring

This car is great. Sl;iding side doors. Good to haul things. The only thing I don't like it has a bit too much road noise. I really like the exterior body designs. It's sleek styling. The car is very easy to maintain.

I love my Mazda5

I need a reliable car, one that starts anytime I get in it. I have had my Mazda for 6 1/2 years and like it. It is easy to drive, good visibility and six persons can ride it in, if necessary. I like the sound system with a radio, AM and FM plus a disk drive for CD's and MP3's--it's easy to switch from one to the other, even has switches on steering wheel so one does not have to take the eyes off the road. It has capacity for Sirius radio, which I do not use.

Mazda 5

One of the best cars I’ve owned. Mazda couldn’t give these cars away, because they have the dreaded sliding doors, which makes them “mommy vans”. The sliding doors are incredibly practical, and well engineered. The car was a steal at $20k. Drives superbly, great touring car. This car was huge in Europe, where people are not hung up on trying to look macho, and driving ridiculous monster trucks.

Bring back the Mazda 5

I have loved owning this car. I like the flexibility of the third row of seats and that I can drive 5 passengers. There is a lot of space for hauling things, and the roof rack is also easy to use because the car is not too tall. The only work we have needed to have done other than regular service was to replace the rear brakes (left rear brake caliper was defective and froze up).

2012 Mazda 5 Review

My 2012 Mazda 5 is a practical vehicle that is economical to operate. It carries furniture and other items that my Audi cannot. My wife prefers it to the Audi due to good visibility for a petite woman!

BEST CAR I EVER HAD! I10 WANT A NEWER UPGRADE

I love this car for its compactness. The rear sliding door makes it so easy and handy to get baby in an out, to put groceries in behind driver seat, to keep clean and vaccuum. When will some mfr's design and upgrade a NEW car with similar charateristics. I keep looking for ANY model that is this size and not full pledge mini van (hard to fit in my garage)...Please, somebody think about an upgrade, the miles are building on my 2012 Mazda5..I love the size (fits easily into my garage) I love the 3rd row seating, I love, love, love the sliding passenger doors the BEST...I love it's ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM.

Mazda 5, very practical vehicle!

This car combines more space for large items with better gas mileage than SUVs. It fits into tight spaces and turns on a dime. Has some road noise, but really does the job. Not for large people! Good for us though!

This is a great vehicle, in my opinion.

I purchased this car in October of 2011; it has great features; today it was the low tire pressure indicator. In another older vehicle I would have had to wait until the tire went flat and I discovered it. This tire had a sharp screw in it but the leak was very slow; I discovered it Saturday p.m., had the Auto Club out to put air in Sunday, and didn't drive it until Tuesday. I like the "climate control" system; one sets the temperature desired and the system maintains it. I can carry six passengers when necessary and so it becomes a useful car for when I need it. I had a warranty but did not need to use it: just fill it with gas, do the servicing and everything works. I had an American made car for 14 years--it had lots of problems so I feel safer and more confident that it will get me where I want to go.

Best car I've ever had

This is a very reliable vehicle: I have had it since 2011 and have had no major problems, just maintenance, tires, and servicing. This is in contrast to previous vehicles I have owned. It seats six people comfortable and I feel safe driving it.
