It has a lot of room! Vary nice on the inside. Nice features. I have had it for 4 years now and has not had any big problem's yet. But the traction control is not that great.

Smooth driving car with great mileage.
I seem to keep having issues with my tires. I bought new tires and the tire pressure light keeps coming back on. I also had to buy new rotors. Other than that, this car is very compact and comfortable for my 4 children. I love being able to have the 3rd row seat and trunk space. It drives really smooth and quiet. I do hate how loud the rear a/c can be though. This car is great on gas. Right now gas is $1.71 and I can fill up with $20. I work from home so I can drive on a full tank for a couple weeks.

2012 Mazda 5: a grand touring.
The mazda5 grand touring is a compact minivan with many great features. It is quite roomy with a lift up rear panel that carries a lot of cargo room. It also has a sliding door for easy transport of other passengers. The heat and air conditioning can be carried or cut off to different sections of the van.

The Mazda 5 is a reliable family car. We would definitely recommend!
We love the Mazda 5! It has been a great reliable car for our first car as a married couple & new parents. We love how it is both big enough inside but also not so big of a vehicle that would be too hard for me to drive. Overall it has been a great car. Only problems we have had is with the brakes & the axel over time.

Bargain vehicle for a family with children.
It holds the amount of child passengers we need via the 3rd row. Easy to move the seats to accommodate. Has all the basic creature comforts but the compact size feels too small. Adults can fit in the 3rd row but not comfortably. It could benefit from more air vents to the back seat.
Krystal P
on April 4, 2021
It is both manual and automatic.
I have not had any mechanical problems, other than normal wear and tear, in the 5 years I have owned this car. It has been a very reliable vehicle. It is my daily driver, and has wonderful gas mileage. I would definitely recommend this car for anyone looking for a reliable car with great gas mileage.

They don't make them like this anymore.
Wonderful vehicle. Very versatile, seats 6, or 7. Back and rear seats can go completely flat for storage space. Smooth comfortable ride. Just the right size. Handles acceleration and mountains with ease. Sliding door side entry so easy for passengers to get in and out. 2nd row captain seats. Good gas mileage and safety rating.

It is a good vehicle. It gets us where we need to go. It holds 6 people. We can take our grandchildren with us.

Odd shape but it works perfectly fine. Air flow could be better.
Great turning, just old age is just taking its toll on the car, works perfectly fine. It handles great in town and on the highway and gets great mileage. You can also fold down the back seats, one at a time or all together, for plenty of cargo space.

Mazda 5: downfalls and all.
It doesn't speed up quick enough, and the lights give out so quick. I have changed the light bulbs three times now but the lights are still going out. Besides that my car is great. Convenient with gas, and a great first car. The miles are adding up but it runs great overall.
Fatima O

Minivan with awesome space.
Even though, I was not thinking about buy Mazda at first, this car has been the best purchase I ever done. I have 2 kids and the extra space in the back is awesome because it fits their 2 bicycles without problem. It also has enough space for all my purchases from the grocery store.

The maintenance at schedule can be costly when unexpected repairs are needed.
I like that it has good gas mileage. I do not like that fact that the gas indicator and the driving range does not match up.
Jessica R
on December 20, 2020
It's a great balance of size and easiness - you get enough space for a family without a behemoth car that's impossible to park.
The things I don't like about it are probably bonus features - things like the back opening without me having to touch it. I like the size (not too big, but plenty of space for road trips). I like the fuel efficiency.
Donna P

It served its purpose when no other car on the market did
Expensive oil changes stink A bit of a rough ride and def. Not a quiet ride Love the sound system and the sun room along with the great gas mileage

on December 6, 2020
I'd recommend a Mazda to anyone.
It is very roomy for a small car, we have taken it all the way to Denver Colorado from ft worth Texas and didn't have any problems. I have already drove it over one hundred thousand miles and haven't had any major mechanical issues, I would definitely recommend this car to a small family. Great gas mileage and came stock with an amazing sounding sound system.
Ann U
on December 3, 2020
Great car in almost every situation
Good for city driving, but because it is so low it is not good in heavy rain/flooding. Good in the snow though considering it is not 4WD. Flexible and enough room for our family of 4. Good gas mileage.

It's family friendly. You can fit 3-4 kids in there although you sacrifice storage space.
I like its size and styling. However we have had lots of small issues with it. The gas door wouldn't shut for awhile. The handle of a sliding door came off, and we have an evap leak we haven't been able to track down.
Rick O

It is efficient in gas and has folding back seats so I can fold down the seats and us the area for storage of equipment to use for our work.

It is good,I am happy with it's service.
This micro van packs Japanese style efficiency into a fun to drive package with seats fos 6 which too bulky and especially appreciative.Under the hood is a 157 hp 2.5 liter four. Sadly this powertrain is outdated and underpowered.It is design preliminary for small family with kids.

Family or outing vehicle with awesome gas mileage.
This car has been the most dependable vehicle have ever owned. So fun to drive. It hugs the curves and gas mileage is out of this world. I get just a little over 600 miles to a tank of gas. I love this crossover. I can fit husband, daughter, 3 grandkids, and myself in this little 4 cylinder.
Amanda E

Mazda 5 with amazing storage.
The edition we have is a half of the year edition, I do not like that it does not have push to start and that it is so basic no heated seats. I do like the 3 rows and the ability to carry a lot with putting the seats down. I also like the seats that have storage and how the fold so close to the floor.

Has Bluetooth connect, one of the best vehicles I have ever owned.
No problems. Extremely reliable. Runs like a Sherman tank. Cannot harm this vehicle with everyday city use. I get regular maintenance and oil changes and tire alignments and what not and have had almost no trouble whatsoever out of the engine or drivetrain.
Katy S

Mazda5 is good for a basic vehicle
This vehicle is pretty bare bones. I realize that it's 7 years old, but even when it was new, it lacked many features standard on other vehicles. Small details like remaining mileage range, bluetooth compatibility, hookups for an iPod, and the like would have been nice to have. However, I did like having sliding doors (although an automatic option for those also would have been nice) when my children were much younger and there is plenty of space for our family.

Pros and Cons of the Mazda 5
The car has been a great car. It sits a little low to the road for my liking. No heat vents for the back passengers. All around great fuel mileage highway and town driving. No major problems with the cars performance. Great for families with small children but not enough leg room in the back for a person of height
Eleanor J
on August 25, 2020
Mazda 5 sport. . A great car for the new family!
I love my Mazda 5 sport vehicle! It performs greatly. It can be transformed into a six seater vehicle. It is a real zippy car and has decent gas mileage. The only complaint that I would have about this vehicle is that when the vehicle is used as a six seater, there is not very much trunk space available. Other than that the pros definitely outweigh the cons. There are barely any blind spots and the steering for the vehicle is quite smooth and easy to control. Definitely worth my money:).
Allison S
on August 25, 2020
2012 Mazda 5 is very reliable.
The only problem I seem to have is with the muffler. Also parts for it are hard to find in the United States. It does run very well but is not so great on gas once it is old. It is a very comfortable car and has four doors as well as seven seats. Four out of six windows open with the back opening three quarters of the way. Very reliable runs great.
Tim C

Mini mini-van' meets all our needs.
I like the fact that it has room for a family with children without feeling big. I do not enjoy driving or parking an oversized vehicle, so what I call our 'mini mini-van' has worked out perfectly for the 4 of us. Nothing flashy, but it gets the job done.
Emily C
on August 19, 2020
Little mom mobile in disguise.
Love my Mazda 5. I call it my mom mobile in disguise. Lots of cargo space and comfortable caption seats in the second row. Sliding side rear doors help to cut down on the parking lot dings. Cargo space is good but third row seating is tight. Only good for the smallest in your crew. Even with the minivan esq design it still has good zip and handles like a sportier vehicle. Mileage has been decent and even at 107k miles the ride is still fairly smooth.
Nyah D
on August 14, 2020
My Mazda 5 is by far the best out all my cars I have purchased.
It is a great sports wagon comfortable for a family of four to five. The unique model is remarkable beneficial on the road. I haven't really had problems with this vehicle. It is a great drive and the seats are very comfortable and relaxing. I love the space and storage in the vehicle.
Deborah F
on August 13, 2020
Two back seats are not what they seem.
I really like the look and feel of my mazda5. It has great pick up and go and is very reliable. I have mainly just needed to perform regular maintenance on it and as long as you do that it runs great with no problems. The reason I did not give my Mazda 5 a 5 star rating is because of the 2 back seats size. I had bought this car with the intention of being able to drive 6 people in it comfortably but that is not the case. If you are even a small size adult it is difficult to fit in that space. Your legs are so scrunched and you cannot stretch or move them at all. You could only really fit two small children in those seats. I was very disappointed with the car when I realized that 6 adults would not fit in it but I had already purchased it.

The microvan: Mazda5 for a small family
Perfect size for small family with the third row down. Cargo area holds so much but still so maneuverable and fun to drive/easy to park.
Jeanette S
on August 3, 2020
People are always surprised that it seats 6 people.
I like how it's a minivan but small like a car. It has lots of room in the back when the seats are down. I wish there was more room in the 3rd row for adults to sit, but it's been a great car.
Candace L

Tires wear in odd way causing unplanned added expense.
My tires wear crooked making me have to buy new tires more often than is normal. I have had multiple mechanics look at this and recognize that while it is happening they do now know why or how to fix it. This is way more costly than I had planned on this vehicle being. It is also way low to the ground.

A versatile family vehicle.
I cannot say anything bad about this car. I love the sliding doors, the third row seating, the captains chairs. It fits everything I want to put in it and is flexible to my needs. Decent gas mileage and no repairs needed beyond general maintenance. I wish it had a Bluetooth option, but it is 2012 so a little old for that.

My vehicle is what I call a wannabe minivan. Great price point for the size.
I have not had any problems with this car I have just had to perform regular required maintenance. I like the way the car handles it is a smooth drive and easy to maneuver. The only issues I have now is that my kids are getting taller and they do not have the leg space they use to have in the back.
John S

The mini mini van that has seating for six and that's about it.
Drives fine, plenty of space for six people, only small problems here and there but overall for a micro van it's not bad.
Ronald S
on June 6, 2020
Seating for 6 with 3 rows of seats and sliding doors on both sides.
Doesn't get very good gas mileage, in my opinion. It has lots of flexible seating. It has lots of cargo volume with all the seats down.
The vehicle is smooth riding, comfortable and easy to drive. My only complaint it needs more storage space.
Dana P

Mazda 5 is a practical and fun to drive vehicle.
The car is very dependable, comfortable, roomy, practical and fun to drive. Lots of windows that provides a good view out. However, you cannot fit six adults and luggage in the Mazda5. If you want cargo space, you are limited to carrying four people. Car has.
Adam

A bit too low to the ground, but great if you need some space!
Had my "mini" minivan for around a year and a half before giving it to my parents. Being a college student who had to drive 1400 miles to school, it was great in terms of space; it fit both mine and my roommate's stuff! We can also fit two wheelchairs and groceries with 2 of the rear seats being used! However, the car is a bit too low. I ended up knocking a plastic guard for the motor loose while having to drive over a lump of ice (something I thought I could manage). Being a 4cyl van, it lacks a bit in power for getting up steep hills, so I would avoid this car if you do live in a very hilly/mountainous area. If these aren't huge issues for you, and you want to have some extra space without going full-on soccer mom with a true minivan, then this would be a good fit!
Joe S
on April 22, 2020
Great small family car that fits anyone's budget.
Car runs great and I'm Decently comfortable. Love having the sliding doors and third row seating. What's really helpful is having the availability to lower the third row and have a ton of space available for road trips or big groceries. The car drives great and does not hurt my wallet when filling up the gas tank. Would definitely recommend this car to other small families.
Kelly W
on April 18, 2020
Reviews say that it is not a quiet ride and I agree. You do hear a lot of road noise.
My Mazda5 is the perfect vehicle for my family! It is small enough to drive comfortably but also large enough to transport my daughter and her friends with all their stuff.
Damishi E
on April 4, 2020
I HATE the lack of trunk space. I like that there's 6 seats it is compact. It get great gas mileage on the freeway. City gas mileage could be better.
The trunk is a big issue if you have a large family. You will almost have to always use other areas of the car for storage.
Rita A
on March 21, 2020
I wish they still made the Mazda 5.
No real problems with the car. I take it in for inspections and it always passes. I regularly change the oil and the cabin filter. Tire monitors had to be replaced but that is it. I would happily purchase another of the same model but they have been discontinued. They are great because they seat 6, and the middle row is 2 separate seats.
Elizabetth W

It' a mini minivan and it gets decent gas mileage for a car that holds six people
I like that it can fit 6 people. I do with it had more room for cargo with all the seats filled. I prefer smaller vehicles and I enjoy driving this.
Sarah P
on March 15, 2020
This is a great first family car!
This is a great first family car for when you are just starting to grow your family. It has the features of a minivan within the size of a sedan. Not only does the car come standard with all of the expected features, (automatic windows, anti-lock brakes, up-to-date audio system) there are many luxuries found in this car, including heated seats, front-controlled air for the back, a third row, and sliding doors. The use of space is genius, with bucket seats in the front and middle, and a bench that seats two in the back row. The car gets good gas mileage as it is low to the ground and small. The caveats: it is low to the ground, bringing with it those problems of curbs and parking blocks. It is also not the best car for winter driving, due to the car being low, and also not having four wheel drive. I really like all of the controls on the steering wheel, features such as cruise control, volume, and Bluetooth connection to your phone. I can easily fit two large car seats in the middle row with room to spare. A great family car or smaller car for when you need to move large things. I have fit a loveseat and a midsize plastic outdoor slide in the back of the Mazda. What a great car!
Nancy L

My vehicle is a metallic grey and has nice economical costing tires.
My car is reliable, economical. I like the style and the fact that I can transport my grandkids, all four of them car seats and all with no problem. The tailgate was a recall but was no problem to be replaced. I get good mileage out of it. If I need to replace it within the next two years I would surely get the same vehicle just newer model.
Nicola D
on February 21, 2020
It very good on gas. The last seat fold down quickly for times that you need extra cargo space. More stylish than your typical minivan.
Mazda5 is really reliable and won't waste gas like your conventional minivan. It is sleek and stylish and does not appear like a minivan. It has enough room to seat 7 but from the outside it appears like a regular car. I love it.

I love the sliding side doors like a minivan, but it's not as big as a traditional minivan. We call it the mini-wagon as it's actually classified as a station wagon. I don't have any dislikes actually.
It has sliding doors on both sides like a minivan but it's not as a big as a minivan.
Ronita S
on February 3, 2020
It's reliable and convenient. And the best thing about it just might be the three row seating.
I like the size and the way the vehicle drives. It's a minivan that is the size and drives like a small car. The three row seats are also very convenient. I don't like how the car is very noisy, even with all the windows & doors closed a lot of "air noise" passes through, especially on the freeway. Finally, the steering wheel is pretty sensitive, as well as the gas pedal, while the brakes feel looser than most cars. This makes it a bit twitchy to drive, especially in traffic.
Amber S

Just like new Mazda 5 touring.

Great small, sporty alternative to a minivan!
I especially love the size of my Mazda 5. It is small and sporty, which allows for easy driving and maneuverability, but it is roomy inside. I love the fact that it has a 3rd row option and a large trunk area when the 3rd row is stowed. Also, moving things in this car is a breeze since the middle and front passenger seats all fold down. It is just a fun car overall!

The back has a lot of space if the back seats are down.
Too much plastic on the undercarriage and gets bent and destroyed if it even bumps a thing like the curb. It is sliding passenger doors are hard to open if they get overused or USF with regular use. The alarm is overly sensitive. But these are just minor complaints in the larger picture. Overall it is a great vehicle.
Nicole B

We have had 0 mechanical problems and have made several 5000 mile trips. Maintenance is a breeze and she still runs as good as the day we bought her.
It handles well with tight and responsive steering and gets excellent gas mileage. Transmission is amazing with lots of power to climb hills. I wish it was a flex fuel and was raised higher off the ground. The third row would be better as a bench seat with storage underneath and a split 60/40 back. Removable and washable seat covers

I like the mazda because the back doors slide open making easier to get the grandchild easier to get them in and out. . Good on gas also. The seat does not raise up or down for me [, I would purchase a new one when I need a new car.. I have not had any real problem with it.

Mazda 5 sport most reliable versatile vehicle.
The only vehicle I have kept this long. It is my daily auto. I can park easily anywhere. It seats six comfortably. Both back rows fold flat and allow for total 6 foot length of cargo carry space. The van doors are perfect for entry to second row. For children,, car seats, and I am able to carry a disabled child car seat with child in it. I fold down third row and passenger side second row and can place tilt in space wheelchair in auto for safe. Transport. I have spent only routine maintenance and tires on this vehicle. I have 120 000 plus miles and still love this car.
Joy S

Pros and cons of the Mazda 5.
I feel like the materials on the interior of the car are cheaply made. There have been issues with the air conditioning and with the window motors being unreliable. The paint job quickly oxidized. The bumper in the front catches on everything. The seats are too firm and uncomfortable. On the plus side, it is awesome to have the ability to have 6 people in the car and still have good gas mileage.
Michelle C
on September 9, 2019
It is gas efficient as well as being comfortable to drive.
I haven't had any problems with this car. It is easy to drive as well as being comfortable. I love the extra seats in the back that can be laid down so I have extra storage in the back for groceries and pets. I get the oil changed every 3, 000 miles and haven't had any issues with the car. The driving is smooth, and the cruise control is wonderful. I enjoy driving my car as well as feeling safe while I am in it.
John D

It serves us very well for the price point we paid for it. Very reliable runner.
I like that there are 3 rows of seating with standalone captain's chairs in the middle row. I like the spacious interior, sunroof, and the ability to fold down the back seat. I dislike its exterior design, though. Looks too much like a minivan.

Runs great really good on gas great ac.
My Mazda is a good car reliable and gets me to where I need to go it is great on gas.

2012 Mazda 5 sport- good gas mileage, not very roomy.
The car is a great car. It gets pretty good gas mileage. The only drawback is there is not a lot of space. It does fit 6 people. The back seats do fold down giving more room for storage. If the car has all 6 passengers there is a very small storage space for groceries etc. If the seats are all folded down there is room for lots of things.
Brian M
on August 5, 2019
I don't like the Mazda 5 at all. It is too small for me and my family and the dealership is terrible.
The dealer of the company told me I had free oil changes for life of the car and I did not have to buy any of my services there but they insist on trying to make me every time I get my oil change there. And my horn had lots of trouble going in and out. Not working. Every time I took it to the dealer it worked. Until it was past its warranty. They said they would not cover it. They wanted to charge me over $100 to fix it. My friend and I found out it was a bad horn. We replaced it for about $20. It is continuous pain to deal with this company and I will NEVER buy another Mazda in my life.
Taylor W

Mazda 5: not a minivan, a micro-van.
The Mazda 5 is basically a micro-van. It is not quite as big as a minivan but still bigger than some SUVs. It is great for someone who needs something that seats more people but is still easy to drive and especially park. The bucket seats as the back seat is very convenient for car seats and with the third row being one that folds down there is still enough room for larger strollers. And even with the third row up there is plenty of room in the back for all groceries.
Nina M
on July 16, 2019
Would buy a Mazda 5 again!
It is been a great car. When we were expecting our second child we purchased this vehicle because we were not ready to go full minivan yet. I loved because of the sliding doors!! So much easier for getting an infant car seat in and out! The air conditioning is great in the front but I always feel like my babies are sweaty on hot days. It has third row seats which I love!! But you give up the majority of your trunk space when they are up. Overall, I would definitely buy this car again. It is not perfect but I feel like you cannot beat the quality for the price!
Sonja M
on July 8, 2019
Great, dependable, easy to care for car.
Since I am not a car buff, I am pretty sure we have a Mazda 5. We bought it new and own it out right. It is a great car. Easy to drive, does not have many bells and whistles but is extremely dependable. We do routine maintenance as per the owner's manual and have not had any problems. Because it is so old, the paint is starting to peel, but that is negligence on our part. We do not wash it as often as we should and bird droppings have been seared into the hood via the hot summer sun.

The Mazda 5 seems like a practical car for a family. Unfortunately, there is no storage or trunk space when you need all the seats! The under-seat storage in the middle row is great! Unless you have kids in car seats, then you can't use the storage! Other than that, the car runs smoothly, I've yet to have a major problem with it. IT's good on gas most of the time
The storage is a joke if you're a family. You need more space

Zoom zoom is the motto and it's true for this car.
I love the way it drives. It has plenty of passenger space but lacks luggage space. It is good on gas.

Haul people or stuff, not both.
The car drives great. Takes turns very nicely. The third row seat is easily lowered and brought back up. The space in the front row is a little cramped. Fine for me (5'7 female) but possibly not for a larger person. If the third row is up 7 people can be carried but there is virtually no storage space in the hatch for hauling. Because all the other seats are bucket seats, when you have the third row down only 4 people can ride but there is a large amount of space for hauling.

The rear doors are sliding doors which are convenient in tighter spaces.
Easy to get in and out of the vehicle. Easy to park in spaces. Does not have backup alarm.

The perfect non mom mom car
It's a mini mini van. I love the sliding doors which make it easy to get kids in and out. The flexibility of fold down back row is us s huge plus.

That is looks like a minivan but maneuvers like a much smaller car
I love it. It's a great family car. It maneuvers like a much smaller car.

It has good gas mileage. It is reasonably priced. It is comfortable.
The size is perfect. It is a standard transmission. It gets good gas mileage. It is comfortable to sit in.

N/a... Did that in the last question.
It seats a total of (including driver) 7, automatic/manual, automatic mirrors. Unfortunately Does not tell me how many miles I have left when gas gets low. There is a blind spot between the windshield and my window where it connects. Cloth seats that I am having a hard time keeping clean or being able to clean. Regret getting it, because not enough room in the back for bags and luggage, when all the seats are being used.

Very few mechanical problems.
Good gas mileage lots pep and roomy inside. It is a very dependable vehicle. Very few mechanical problems and it rides and handles good. It is a very sporty looking vehicle. The ac could be a little cooler.

Two rows of seats fold down to fit a lot of stuff
It's versatile, seats 6 but is not a minivan. Small enough to be easy to drive.

The sliding doors are the best.
I like everything. I like the sliding doors. I like the maneuvering. I like the width. I have no complaints.

It is a very dependable vehicle.
Love comfy front seat for long drives it is important. Also all the space in back for lots of stuff or for sleeping.. What I do not like is how small back seat is very little leg room and if you use the seats you a lot luggage space.

Just keep up on maintenance and the car will have less issues.
While i have had the vehicle the only issue i have had is have to change the battery once. Otherwise no issues.

This vehicle is fuel efficient and gets the job done as a family car!
It has third row seating but there’s no leg room really for an adult to sit back there. The trunk space is very tiny as well when you have both of the third row seats up. It is amazing on gas for being a minivan through! If you have tiny kids this car would be perfect for your family!

Great car for a (not too tall) family of 4 that sometimes carpools.
It is a pretty reliable car though I will say we're also serious about regular maintenance, including going to the dealer for all the recommended mileage milestones. Haven't really had any serious issues yet, though we're expecting the transmission to go out around the 8-10 year mark because that is what happened with our other Mazda 5.

Reliable transportation that not only looks like a nice car but feels like one when driving or riding as a passenger.
This is my second Mazda car and it is well made, easy to do updated maintenance at home, and reliable.
