I like the Mazda brand. I will consider buying Mazda again.
My vehicle is very reliable and also low on gas. The whole time I have owned the car it is having no problems also I love the safety measures that it has. I thought I would never own a minivan but this fits my personality I would definitely consider owning another Mazda.

Price was good for the space it has.
Gas mileage is great. I like the 3 row seating. The riding is very ruff. Cheap made radio and speaker system.

Untility at a Price
One of the smallest car that come with 3 rows of seats. This comes at a great cost- the car is really heavy. This has caused numerous expensive repairs to the suspension, ball joints and alignment. I've also had to buy new tires due to the uneven tire wear caused by these problems.

It is a good value and is reliable.
It is practical and reliable. But it is not cool. It holds a lot in the back and the seats are comfortable. It isn't fast but it gets good gas mileage.

The backup feature is my favorite.
It is comfortable, easy to drive and park. I like backup feature and side mirrors showing upcoming vehicles. I like my car very much.

It's a great car if you want something to drive around with little kids, not really a good fit for bigger people though - the back seats are tight
Love that it is not too big but can fit 3 car seats with a little storage space. There are few extra features, such as a place to put sunglasses. It's a little bare bones in that respect

It's not for everyone, it is a great and reliable car though.
Like the design of the car, good gas mileage, perhaps could have more sleek interior.
accountCircle Kellie V on November 27, 2020
It looks small but it seats 6! The back two rows of seats flatten to allow for lots of cargo space.
I love that it's not too big but still has room for 6 when I need it. I love the space to transport kids and all of their gear to practices. The sliding side doors are really helpful getting kids in and out of the car. It's safe, reliable and practical.

The mazda5 is a great, dependable car.
I love the way I'drives and feels. I like the color. I love that it is a little bigger than a station wagon, but smaller than a minivan. The double sliding doors are great! The third seat is pretty small and really only works for kids. I wish it got better gas mileage.

It has a third row of seats. It also has a heated drivers seat and climate control.
I like the driver's seat, the high up view of the road, the stable, smooth ride, the great gas mileage, and the storage room.

It is perfect for retired couples to get around town in.
There has been very little problem with my car. Gets good mileage and easy to drive in town. It looks like a van, can be a store and go, but has 3 rows of seats. And it is was good priced. Just perfect for us to get around in. I just love this car and will not get rid of it.

Honest opinion on the Mazda 5 crossover/ van.
Not large enough for tall people, very basic, the backseat can only fit small kids. Good price for a six passenger vehicle, great gas mileage and I like all the cup holders. An ok car for a small family in members and in size. My sons are over 5’9 and they are squished. Thought I was going to take road trips with this vehicle but there is absolutely no storage.
accountCircle James S on September 27, 2020
Don't be fooled this car has a powerful engine.
My only complaint is the braking system warped the rotors. This car is great, good gas mileage, seats 6 comfortably. It is a minivan but does not look like one. Only has four cylinders but has great power.

Mazda 5... Great for musicians.
I love my Mazda 5. It has a great size and with the sliding back doors, it's very easy to pack all kinds of things or people into it. The gas mileage is really good and I have had very few problems with it outside of new tires and a slightly blown speaker, but I like to listen to loud music.
accountCircle Heather M on September 22, 2020
Affordable family vehicle you can customize to meet the needs of your family.
Great vehicle for large family that doesn't break the bank. The last row of seats is split in half so you can collapse the bench on one side or the other or both. Plenty of room for my stroller and groceries still. The car doors do tend to break easily.
accountCircle Danielle H on August 30, 2020
Great car! Comfortable, reliable, good on gas!
We purchased the car new. It drives smoothly. And handles easily. The instrumentation is easy to understand and to use. The interior is comfortable. The backseat has plenty of room, even for adults. The trunk is spacious for a smaller car. It has required only routine maintenance, done annually at inspection. Gas usage is as advertised,
accountCircle Kelly H on August 13, 2020
Smaller minivans with sliding doors are the way to go.
I love the size and the passenger capacity. I live in a dense urban area and fitting into parking spots is an issue. My favorite of all is the sliding passenger doors, which are essential for tight parking lot spaces in target, Costco, and Kaiser parking lots, and for getting the kids in and out of their seats. It drives well and has great pick up when necessary. The only thing I do not love is the gas mileage for the size of the car; it has comparable mileage to the larger minivans, but is a smaller minivan or 'crossover.'. My favorite feature is probably the hands-free phone feature and the back vent for the kids.
accountCircle Dexter R on August 12, 2020
It is one of the best cars I have ever had.
My car is really good. I have had it for about 4 years and still works perfectly fine. The performance is amazing seating inside the car is perfect and really comfortable. There are no problems where my car at the moment which I think is good. The features are cool, I love the inside of the car. I also love how it can be a regular car and a sports car at the same time. The only reason I like this is because I like fast cars so it meets my preference.

Gotta love my Mazda 5 it takes you places.
I have a 2015 Mazda 5 minivan. I drove it off the car lot with 25 miles on it. I have had it 5 years and not had any trouble. I love my vehicle. It seats 7 which is perfect for my family of 6. Its efficient on gas and a nice smooth drive. It has enough room for groceries and gym bags but is still compact.

Mazda 5 Great Family car.
My Mazda 5 is very easy to drive, it's great on gas mileage, guests ride comfortably and is great value for my money. My only issue with this vehicle is that the steering wheel blocks the view of part of the dashboard (I.e. Gas meter) and the windshield wiper lever. So I have to lean forward to find them, which temporarily takes my eyes off the road.
accountCircle Alexus M on July 18, 2020
Fast. Fun. Small. Does not disappoint.
Shockingly no issues at all! Carries a family of 6 around with no complaints on space. Gas mileage is great, upkeep is great. This little thing really powers through like a champ. We bought it as an impulse buy before our newest baby came and we do not regret it.
accountCircle Tim V on July 14, 2020
Affordable and practical vehicle.
No issues outside of normal maintenance, oil changes, tire rotations, etc. I purchased this vehicle because of its affordability and third row. Third row is very tight but good for younger/smaller kids and folds down to provide additional trunk space. Sliding doors like a minivan make it easy to get in and out.
accountCircle Barbara J on July 11, 2020
The 2015 Mazda5 is spacious without giving up the compact or subcompact feel!
I love my mazda5 primarily for the space it provides. When you fold down the back row and the middle seats the cargo space seems endless! I've done two household moves with my mazda5 and feel like it compares to a pickup truck when moving furniture :) The only thing I wish was different is the height of the vehicle, my knees are getting bad and it's hard to push myself out of this car.

A minivan that drives like a sports car.
I have had my mazda5 for 5 years now. I haven't had any issues with it and have needed no repairs. It drives great. I love the way it handles, because it does not feel like a big car. I like that it seats 6, however the back row seat is only suitable for small children. Adults would not be comfortable back there. I wish it got better gas mileage.
accountCircle Catherine S on July 1, 2020
Best car for a family of four or five!
We have loved our Mazda 5! Haven't had any problems with it at all. The only complaint we have is that my husband is 6'4' and has a hard time sitting comfortably in any of the seats. He could use a little more leg room up front, especially while driving. It drives very smooth and the seats are really easy to fold down and put back up. Plenty of room in the back when the back row of seats is folded down.
accountCircle Rita C on June 25, 2020
Summarize of a great family car. A car for families and a compact car.
I love the fact that the seats have warmers so when the weather gets cold you can get warmed up quicker. Con is that the seat are leather so the summer days the seats get really hot when the sun hits it. Love the sunroom so on a nice warm day you can have more sun but con is the sunroof does not have open all the way. Big spacious back seat and trunk to haul a lot of things.

The 2015 Mazda 5 4x4 review.
Very comfortable and easy to drive. Has a exceptional and outstanding sound system. Easy to use controls within car and air con is very functional and nice. Car is great for off road situations. The car is very sleek and clean, especially in the color white. It runs very well and have had no problems with the vehicle since purchase.

No problems with the vehicle and we have had it for 3 years. The only upgrade we have done is a new radio and new tires. It has been a great vehicle
accountCircle Beth M on March 13, 2020
Lots of space, yet not a lot of legroom.
The Mazda5 includes four backseats and can be put down for a flat back providing lots of space! It drives smoothly, like a car, yet has enough space like a minivan, for my harp. It is not made for tall drivers/passengers. Lots of space for carrying things but little legroom. It requires a different than normal oil, which I am thankful my mechanic caught before changing my oil. Sometimes the gas tank overflows and the pump does not catch it in time to click off. Not sure why this happens, as it is not consistent to the pump. I love the vehicle and would highly recommend it.
accountCircle Anthony C on February 27, 2020
Spacious vehicle with minor issues.
We have had some recurring problems with the brakes of the car, but other than that it has been fairly reliable. There is plenty of room in the car for road trips as we have taken the car to Florida plenty of times from Maryland. The one feature I wish it had is Bluetooth capability, as the radio on the car is not the best, but if you have a cable to hook up your phone, it is fine.

Mazda 5, 2014. Reliable family vehicle.
So far the car has been very reliable and nice. It can transform between a 'minivan' or a larger trunk by folding down the 3rd row seating. Sliding outdoors make it easy for parking and getting children in an out of the vehicle. This is a solid family car. Not a whole lot of fancy features, for example, my car is not Bluetooth enabled (though I believe it can be an added feature for more money). I would prefer if the car had a bit more horsepower. It can be hard to accelerate at a reasonable pace on the freeway if you need to merge.
accountCircle Tyrone H on December 12, 2019
Good speed and good miles.
It had good miles run good refill gas very good also. It had two seats in the back and also two seats in the very back. But also we can make it into a trunk also well if you have a lot after a shopping spree. But you have to fold the back seat down to put all your stuff in the car.

Mazda 5 - decent and reliable.
As much as the vehicle is great for highway miles and a decent size for general transportation, it is no bigger than the bed of a mini truck or larger 4 door vehicle, due to the low roof. Sure the seats go down to open up the back of the vehicle and the hatchback is very handy. But I have found it difficult to fit larger items in the car like general pieces of furniture. My loveseat would fit the length of the car for sure with all the seats down, but when it was time to move, the roof was too low, no matter which way we turned the furniture piece, and we ended up having to get a uhaul anyway. It is had a recall on it already which was mandatory for safety. The hatchback was prone to having a breakage on the liftgate and if it broke it could slam shut and injure someone, so we had to have that fixed for safety. Overall it is comfortable and reliable.

It has a lot of space for my family while also not being too big of a car
There is a blind spot on the sides of the front windows. You can't see well if you are driving on the highway for cars directly in front of you on either side. On the local streets sometimes you can't see people crossing if they are behind the blind spot, which can be dangerous if you don't realize you need to look.

Pretty nice car with lots of seating
The car is pretty nice. It has two rows of seats in the back, both can fold down for a larger trunk area, which is nice. There is really no trunk space when all seats are up. Sliding side doors. Wish there was better air conditioning in the back, and wish ours had automatic door locking

The flaws of the Mazda 5 and what make me rethink my purchase
There is a Severe lack of trunk space and leg space in the back seat. Also it doesn't fit a rear facing car seat well. Also every time I have any work done on it the temp changes to Celsius so I never know what the temperature is outside. There are a lot of buttons on the dashboard that do absolutely nothing and are simply in the way.

It is a good car that handles well, but it is a little cramped for five people.
It handles well, but it is pretty cramped even when only two of us are in it. With three kids, grocery trips can be quite crowded. A little more interior room would be welcome. I would also love it if it sat a little higher off the road, for when we have to drive before roads/parking lots have been plowed. I guess I really just want either a full minivan or an SUV, or something in between.

Great smaller family minivan.
Overall the car has been a wonderful addition to our family. It is smaller than the minivan I have had in the past so that takes a little getting used to, but it is been a blessing. Even heading out on vacation we can fit everything we need, even the dog. The gas mileage is pretty decent for a minivan. I have had a few issues with batteries, it is been replaced once and there were a few times with the new one it was hard for it to start, but we live in a cold climate so that might be why. As far as the cold climate, it does not handle like my old minivan which was heavy and had 4 wheel drive, but if you know how to drive in the snow it works fine. If you are taller or larger, I probably wouldn't recommend it as it is more compact, but it works great for my 5'3' stature and my children.

The option to easily seat 2 additional passengers is a feature I appreciate.
The Mazda 5 is a great car as far as having a great amount of interior space for passengers and cargo. The driver has great visibility with very little blind spot. With bucket seats in the second row, passengers have a good amount of legroom. The third row for passengers is convenient and very easy to assemble. Having the option of a third row of seats or a large cargo area is a feature that appeals to me the most. I have had no engine problems with regular oil changes with the synthetic oil that is recommended.

Small but comfortable vehicle.
It is a little small but very nice to use and is compact and comfortable. I am of average size so I fit nicely into the car but my brother who is much taller has a harder time and his head almost hits the roof. This car would definitely not be ideal for long road trips with a family of 4 but for a single person just driving to and from work it works amazing!

Transmission is no good. It's a car that will last a good 5 to 7 years if bought brand new and taken care of. The car is spacious, it doesn't feel like you're driving a van. Drives smoothly. A/C is good. The engine had to be changed just after 3 years.

Sliding doors, 6 seats, but does not really look like a minivan.
Great vehicle for urban living, less desirable with large families and further out (holds 6 people). Small size makes for easy parking and able to use tight spaces. Hold a fair amount of cargo and easy to load/unload. Front seats get a bit tight for people over 6'. Road noise/tire roar is prevalent. Fuel economy falls to low 20's when driving at western state highway speeds (I. E. 70 mph cruising). Great handling, just adequate power. Good alternative to family vehicle and touring groups.

The vehicle is a good buy for simple family vacation.
There is no problems with the car. Had driven the car up to 200k miles. There is no sound from the engine when driving. And the maintenance is very easy. The chairs are all plastic and rubber feel. It is very easy to setup more passenger chairs. When carrying heavy load, there seems to be no problem.

Smoothly reliable and family friendly.
The Mazda5 is pretty reliable. It is a smooth riding car and I haven't had any performance issues with it so far. The comfort could be a little better in terms of the seating. It is a bit cramped in the third row without allowing that much foot room. And if the third row is up then there is also not much room for groceries or anything in the very back. I think it'll be more difficult as my children get older. Right now, they fit pretty well because they are small but I think it'll be really cramped in a few years.
