Recently purchased. So far, so good.
This vehicle is comfortable and a smooth drive. Size is good for extra passengers and/or hauling equipment. I am looking forward to talking a road trip.

The "Mini" Minivan!
Bought new in 2010, served many trips. Florida to and from, Washington D.C. hauling around a family of 4. Love this minivan, however, we only got 9 or so years out of it when things started going wrong. First, a check engine light with no real reason, technicians turned it off, came back on. Not a big deal, until the A/C went out in the car in the summer. With a teenager driving, I had to fix it, which was COSTLY. Now, the rear suspension is going out and you can hear creaking sounds when driving. Also, the anemic 4 cylinder can barely get up hills with cargo or people, but it is fine around town. The plastic interior isn't anything to admire, however, it does have heated seats and a sunroof, which is nice. The wind noise is also intrusive, but you can block that out with the radio, right? Besides that, the car has been really good. Despite all those negatives, I've been surprised by how much we fell in love with this minivan. The visibility is insane and my wife absolutely loves it every time she drives it when my daughter comes back from college, the exterior design is pretty sharp looking and has aged well, and the seat storage in the second row comes in handy. All in all, this car is fine. It's super easy to drive around town, with huge glass, just don't expect it to outlast you or be very fast.

The best possible car.
The best car I've ever owned or driven (I've driven large variety of vehicles, including trucks, SUVS, compacts, vans and midsize.) Roomy first two rows, 3 row a bit tight for anyone tall (excellent for German shepherds, or kids.) I've got the Grand Touring edition so it's got quite a few fancies. That's makes it better (sun roof, leather, seat warmers). It has the little outside extras too (spoiler, fog lights, and such.) It has over 100k and runs like a dream. No major issues, only routine maintenance needed. Has a nice kick when you hit the gas (typical Mazda zoom zoom). I drive a ton (can vary from 40 miles/day to 100+/day) for work and it's great on gas. I can fit the whole family inside (2 kids, 100lb shep, husband.) It's a 6 seater. Second and third row seats drop. I hauled wood, everything from Costco, and even a couch. The one down side is when I hauled lots of adults (full grown) the car weighed down so the kick was gone and was much slower to build speed. You could feel the difference. I LOVE this car.

Best driving family car out there!
An awesome sporty family car that can't be beat in the balance of practicality and fun. We have taken many longer trips and it's excellent on fuel ( 30+ MPG highway) and the Thule style roof racks are nice to put the bikes on the roof. I've owned this car for 4 years and put 50,000 miles on it with nothing done besides routine maintenance. It's peppy, fun to drive, sporty feel, has the sliding doors to get the kids in and out but doesn't lose the mazda zoom zoom fun!

Fits My Family
I love having 6 seats, but the size of a car. The 2 back seats are so easy to use or store. It is perfect for when family visits or my kids have friends with us. I don't have to maneuver it like a bigger car, it's more the size of a sedan. Exactly what I wanted and didn't even know it existed.

Best Small Family Car that was in the Market
We loved this vehicle, both my daughters grew up riding in this car. It was small like a sedan, but big enough for 6 people like a mini van. It had the rear sliding doors like a mini van that help the little ones as the grew. Very low to the ground for you short moms. We owned the Grand Touring with all the features, my wives favorite were the seat warmers. Recommend a used one for your family.

Most reliable car I've owned.
This car met all my needs. It has plenty of legroom in the front and back. Plenty of storage in the back when the fifth and sixth seats are folded down.

Runs great and very sporty
My Mazda 5 is one of the best cars I have ever had. It is very peppy with excellent gas mileage. I wish I could keep it. However we have two other cars and can not afford the extra insurance.
