Just bought one :) Im getting it next week. Beautiful car. A shame You don´t drive diesels in the US. The diesel is awesome compared to the petrol version - so much more power.

Nice car but needs a better 6-speed auto, sport mode tranny program, paddle shifters and a more efficient/powerful engine. This cars drinks too much gas for a 4 banger. Handling is very decent for what it is....A small Minivan.

Owned one since 06, Manual Transmission. Great ride, very versatile and plenty of Zoom-Zoom for a family car (who else offers Manual?). 08 has addressed all the gripes that owners or owners to be have not liked or think was missing (i.e. A/C for the 2nd row)

We've had a Mazda5 for almost 2 years. Ours has a 5-speed manual.

From the perspective of a car nut who also owns a Miata, a Porsche 911 and a 5-series, this car is awesome. It's fun to drive and very pleasant as an everyday vehicle. It's usually our first choice for trips of any length.

We have a 4 year old son. The wide-opening sliding doors make getting him in and out a breeze (especially when he was younger). It's a great size for easy parking and gets decent fuel economy (high-20's).
