2012 Mazda MAZDA5 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The Mazda5 is fun to drive, responsive and looks good. It hauls the five of us with comfort. It's is perfect for everyday running. Sport model comes with decent options. Sound system is good. I average 20-22 mpg with my stop and go city driving only commute. Climate control works well. Had windows tinted (after market) like a real minivan and that made a big difference inside and out. Love the sliding doors. Fits in the garage with room to spare. The only bad thing is that all 5 of us can not go shopping for groceries or go on a road trip requiring luggage. There simply is no cargo space when all the seats are up. That is why there is still a gas guzzling traditional minivan sitting in my drive way. I wish I could have two of these Mazda5's. My wife loves it and she typically doesn't "love" cars. So we have to share this fun to drive family hauler. If I could I would get another one but with manual transmission for me.

A very nimble vehicle with lots of space and utility

Nothing is like a Mazda 5 mini van , A well designed and engineered , quality vehicle that I wish Mazda had continued building. Hard to find them , and this is my 3rd one. Excellent value with so many features I find user friendly making my driving experience outstanding.

love the sliding doors on both sides...makes for very easy access to the rear seats when buckling the little ones in. There is not much room in the third row, it really doesn't work well if you're using it for adults.

Nice little minivan with a strong suspension and handles like a car. Around 100 square feet of interior space from the front to the back of the vehicle. Good creature comforts with SiriusXM also available. Above average mpg.

A peppy sports sedan with the added benefit of sliding rear doors for especially access to the middle seats.

More interior room than a car, but still performed well.
