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!

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.
