People really need to think twice before buying a MPV or minivan, cause they useally have a bad ride (like this one) and many issues and very small 3rd row seats. Another thing is that the 3rd row in most of these cars are almost never used, there's just the comfort of knowing they are there... Just like most 4x4's are never used in the terrain, it's just good to know that you can...
I have a blue 2010. Great vehicle. It's the sporty minivan for guys who need to haul the kids around and can't stand boxy big mini's... This would be a fun car for weekend rally's... It's got a tough ride that seems to improve as you warm the tires a bit.
30 months after owning one and there are issues to be aware of. Suspension noise like crazy. The front stabilizer bar has no remedy what so ever, you'll be going to the dealer on a constant basis for noise. Remedy; Go to a junker get a frontal stabilizer bar with the brackets of a 2.3"Mazda3 and have it installed by your mechanic. Springs...? You'll need to have a mechanic insert a (water pressure hose) hose on all springs (6 feet to be exact 1 1/2 per spring) because they hit the metal cabin.
Thanks for sharing... I just bought mines and waiting to get it this coming wed... do you know where i can find the rubber mats for the whole Mazda5 2010? I live in ottawa ontario.
Oh no! You forgot to mention that the second row seats flip up, there's storage room under one and the other has a little tray with a basket and cupholders that pops out. Great for legos! One of my very favorite cars to sell!

Choosing the color was the trickiest part for us. So we took the silver instead(darker than our other silver car..fortunately)
We took it from Mazda w/ only 4 mileage.. & tho it has a full tank..3 days after..it stil only has 10. Guess we are just happy looking at it than drive it around for now..maybe tom.^_^
I have one It's great!! You need to make logical adjustments like; push the telescopic steering wheel fwd move both front seats fwd and middle seats and make room for the back passengers and it works fine. Don't change the Toyo tires for heavier then car like tires 'cause it will really messes up the suspension and the alignment plus it gets really noisy. Other then that you'll fall in love with it. Mileage is great, enough power. It's fair enough and more in every logical sense.
For me it's either a fullsize hybrid minivan, a minivan with a diesel engine (both of which you cannot find here in the U.S. but you can find anywhere else in the world), so I guess I'll have to settle for the 5, not as big as I'd like it to be, but i'll be damned if i'm gonna pay twice for one car, once at the dealer and again at the pump.

Thank you for showing what it looks like with all of the seats folded down. I've been wanting to see exactly how much space it has in the back.
