2012 Mazda Mazda5 consumer reviews

This car is great for a small family. It seats 6, but the 2nd and third row are tight when am seats are used. The third row is best for children. While the front seats are comfy for long trips, the 2nd row is a little stiffer and the third row leaves a lot to be desired. Overall his is a great car,and going on 125000 miles with no major repairs needed, it has withstood the test of time!

I got this car because it had the optional 3rd row. I like smaller cars and I had two kids, with one on the way. I should have realized this but it has proven to be WAY too small. It's not been a bad car but I can't wait to get rid of it. Not much pep and no room for my purse. Kids always stepping on seats to get to the back. Boo.

My parents used this car while I was learning how to drive. Its very comfortable. Lots of room for a family of 5. I would recommend this car to small family's.

Love the car. Small enough to "zoom zoom." But large enough for our family of 4. Plenty of leg room and packing space. Love the 3rd row seating.

Gas mileage is not good Road noise dampening would help Nav should be offered in all classes Car is designed efficiently Handles well and is quick

Excellent choice to transport a couple of adults and a couple of dogs near and far now and in the future.

Nice size car and getting it Certified Pre-owned means it's in great shape. There are some things on the inside that could be better and it may be that later models dealt with this. We got a 2012. The hands-free set up needs work. Microphone is in a bad place. The console between the front seats is very minimal.

Good gas mileage and plenty of space. Third row back seat can come in handy. Sliding doors are easy to operate. LOTS of road noise, which is better than listening to the horribly cheap "sound system". Seats are uncomfortable and ride is rough. Should have bought an American car.

Really enjoy the car. It came with great features, leather seats, and a sun roof. For our little family of four it works great, and given we give our nieces a ride to school every morning we needed a six seater. Though even with six seats drives like a car and isn't your typical minivan. Zoom zoom!

I am the ower of a Mazda5 GT 2009 since Oct 2012. This is my 2nd Canadian winter with the Mazda5 and there may not be a third winter with this car. The sliding doors will not close properly if there is a hint of moisture in the track or latch. Try driving with the doors wide open in -20 degree! I had to tie the door to the pillar to keep it close till I get to the shop at Mazda. They cleaned and lubed it but a week later it happened again. Summer came along and no problems. Now the temp is dropping again, I am having the same problem again on both doors. Another problem is it cannot hold much weight with more than 4 person in it. Had to replace struts when driving around with 4 adults and 2 infants! Probably will not wash the car till spring then sell it!
