Full marks to Mazda for trying to make the Mazda5 people carrier look sporty... The effort has certainly made this car stand out from rivals like the Ford C-MAX -- although the results have not been entirely successful. However, if you can look beyond the unusual wavy lines that shoot along the bodywork, you'll find the 5 is a very sensible people carrier, with a clever, flexible seating arrangement, convenient electric sliding doors and a smooth, comfortable ride.

janetsbrick : Lovely review, and it helped me make up my own mind about what to get. I just picked up one like this back in the states - the same 6 speed manual, but we only got it with a relatively torquey 2.5 liter petrol. It's a nice fit for the car and solves the overtaking problem well! Sadly the economy isn't wonderful, but fuel is cheap here so it stings less.
There is literally no other vehicle in this class here, which baffles me. The Mazda 5 left the American market a year ago and the only van-like vehicles are absolutely enormous - close to a meter longer than the 5, and the other choice for a large family car are SUVs with poor space efficiency. This was also the last 3-row vehicle you could get in the states with a standard transmission.
Wonderful review! It really helped me.
Peter Kim : @blueburaq I know, I had a 1990 Honda Civic LX, had real good traction in snow, but the ground clearance was really low so used to hit a lot of stuff underneath the car. The 5 has higher ground clearance and I think if you think about average, it's up there with most sedans. I would not expect it to be a SUV class ground clearance, if it was, it would probably not provide the sharp handling like it does. I find the clearance to be adequate for most situation, and it looks good at the same time.
Peter Kim : @bigvirgotube That's good to know, thanks. I am still breaking it in. I've used to work at a rental car and have noticed that the vehicles are not really broken in until about 7-14K miles. This is only for 4 cylinder gasoline car. Now, there should be some clarification on the break in however. I'm speaking of performance wise. Regular mechanical break in for parts that are new still applied to around 600 miles or so.
Peter Kim : I am in the verge of owning one of these, silver Touring model. However, 157 ponies just doesn't cut it for me coming from decades of VW ownership. I would probably add a beefier suspension and possibly a supercharger with just the right amount of boost to get me around 180-190 ponies.
RZEZZZ : @kc2zxl Traction depends on your tires. You know, the part of the car touching the ground. Put a dedicated winter tire on any car, and you won't have much of an issue on snow covered paved roads.
Mazda5 Car Review - The Mazda People Carrier
Gone are the days when all People Carriers really had to do was to come up with clever ways to carry people. Today, in the face of competition from Crossovers, SUVs and ever more versatile family hatches, MPVs have to be a bit more exciting and aspirational, Especially if they want a slice of the medium-sized volume sector where Zafiras, Scenics, C-MAXs and Picassos hold sway. Back in 2010, this second generation Mazda5 promised to be exactly that. How does it stack up as a used buy?
MPVs are square, boxy things - or at least some of them are. This one's as practically-shaped as any but hides the fact with a curvy design language that Mazda calls 'Nagara Flow'. Inside, the Karakuri seat design is really very clever. The seats in the centre row slide backwards and forwards by up to 270mm, so you can prioritise your legroom or that of those behind - and the chairs recline by up to 50-degrees for greater comfort on longer journeys. The pop-up middle row tables will please the kids too - and you'll need to be a child to properly fit into the centre seat in the second middle row. It's so small as to be hardly a seat at all, though is, to be fair, only really designed for little ones or occasional adult use.
When not in use, it can be very neatly folded out of the way to create a spacious 4-seater cabin using the same kind of seat-eating-seat system that you'll also find in a Ford Grand C-MAX. You simply lift the cushion of the left hand middle row seat then flip the middle seat base into the space beneath. The middle backrest can then be folded down to create a table or an armrest. The floor rises to the rear, theatre-style, to ensure passengers in the second and third rows have an unobstructed view ahead. If you're planning to use the third row of seats, you'll probably want to take advantage of the way that the middle centre seat backrest can hinge out of the way to create an access corridor to the very back of your Mazda5. Here, the two occasional third row seats that fold out of the floor when needed are, as with all 7-seater MPVs in the compact class, really designed either for children or reasonably agile adults on very short journeys.
Of course, if you are using this third row, then there won't be much luggage space on offer behind it - just 112-litres in fact, though there is a very shallow concealed underfloor compartment to keep valuables away from prying eyes. If you're only carrying four or five people, that'll allow you to fold the extra boot-mounted seats down and free up the 426-litres on offer. A total which of course can be extended further if you're able to further fold down the middle seating row - to free up 857-litres (floor to belt-height) or 1,566-litres (floor to ceiling).
On to engines. You'll struggle to find an example fitted with the entry-level 115PS 1.8-litre petrol unit. More frequently sighted is the 150PS 2.0-litre variant that's rather confusingly badged 'DISI' - short for 'Direct Injection Spark Ignition': diesel drivers need not apply. For them, there's a 115PS 1.6-litre diesel that though frugal and flexible, isn't especially fast. The 2.0-litre petrol version is of course plenty more rapid, covering the same increment in 11s on the way to 120mph.
Styling and driving dynamics should never dominate the people carrying remit, but in recent times, it's been good to see both these things assume greater prominence in cars like this one. Add in the versatility of the neat sliding side doors, plus build quality and practical seat design that few rivals can better and you've an often-ignored but very informed choice in the compact Zafira, Scenic and C-MAX-class 7-seat MPV sector from the 2010 to 2015 era. Most Mazda5 owners we know swear by them. And we can see why. Most Mazda5 buyers were came across in our ownership survey were enthusiastic about this car. Really high-mileage cars may have tired suspension components so have this checked. A full service history with evidence of regular oil changes is particularly important for the diesel engine. Otherwise, the issues we came across were relatively minor ones. Check out the infotainment system; there were reports of faulty Bluetooth connections and faulty sat nav set-ups. A lot of these issues can be solved by software updates and a larger SD card. As usual with MPVs, check the interior carefully for signs of child damage. And check the alloy wheels for signs of undue scuffing.

Leonard Yeo : To me, Mazda 5 is a more practical choice than Mazda 6, if you want more versatility to carry bulky cargo like washing machines and furniture. It's good to snooze in too with those reclining middle seats
Eduard Dajčman : Thank you for a great review!
19JUN67 19JUN67 : Excellent review I like this vehicle
teetee tee : Too bad for the poor fuel economy from today's standard and the fact that the sale stopped. My 2015 has been treating me well.
Saif Rahman : fanstastic review!
2006-2010 Mazda5 Review | Consumer Reports
This micro-minivan is Consumer Reports 2010 Top Pick Family Hauler. It delivers lots of function without costing lots of money. Plus it's fun to drive. Learn more about the Mazda5 and other vehicles on our web site http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/index.htm?EXTKEY=I93YT01\u0026CMP=OTC-YUTBE
Fifthcell : This is a seriously underrated vehicle... good thing, because you can get used 2010 grand touring examples for under $5k
andmandy1998 : I own one and Never really notice the engine noise (maybe because my other car is so much louder) I fill all 6 seats A LOT over the year Especially in the Summer, and the engine always as enough power, (I kinda like it, it is easier to control with every seat full.)
THIS CAR IS THE BEST!! (But does not fill the space of a full sized Van in all situations, I.E. No real room behind the Rear seat while being used.)
Greg C. Rose : I've driven my 2006 Mazda5 since I bought it as the second owner in 2009 with 45K on it. It's up to 175K now and still rolling. I love the 4cyl stick shift - it's a hard to find option but so worth it. I pull well above the stated MPG on this, more like 28-30 highway. The car is great with my wife and four kids. It's expandable too - the roof rack has held kayaks, and luggage carriers, while the trailer hitch has held cargo carriers and pulled trailers. I love my 5 and will drive it until it drives no more. Cons - the suspension has been completely overhauled through the years, the headlights aren't bright enough for my taste, and it handles only so-so in snow, even with snow tires.
Behold the Man : This guy is one of the best reviewers out there!
Thanx for the good work you're doing.
JediGTI : I just went from a Jeep Grand Cherokee to a Mazda 5. It was the best car move I've done in a while.
