@ciaramarie2 I do try, where ever possible, to make people love me. It's no always possible but when it happens it's much appreciated, thank you

What camera do you you use for filming?

[Smokerspack]

@benny5825 Almost all Canon SLR but there's some Kodak stuff for exterior shots.

Okay...now I really wish the US version had electric doors! Otherwise, how'd he get my 5 over there?

[Smokerspack]

@bigvirgotube Thanks for watching, we like the 5 too. Are electric doors not standard where you are?

i m not crashing!! well thats good! lol

Electric doors! Not even an option on the US Mazda5. We brought the top of the line Grand Touring version, and would pay extra for Electric doors.

i liked the 2010 look better....horizontal taillights just make it look like a conventional minivan

@kc2zxl I agree. If you buy a GT, like you and I both did, electric doors should be standard, plus a button on the fob to open the hatch. I'd also like Mazda to change the software so that the 5 either gets the same hp/torque as the Mazda 3--or more like the Ford Fusion(it is the same engine, after all).

Mazda really should have added the power door option for the U.S. model. This is one of the deal breaker option that could sell more 5's here in the states.. just my two cents. Other than that, I love my Mazda5 in GT trim. One of the more practical car that's also fun to drive as well.

I got mine this Wednesday, 1.6L 115HP Diesel, and i dare say, that car shifts and it sure doesn't take ages to overtake!! Gave it a proper try this morning on a 2 lane country road and on the motorway after seeing this vid. I had a Renault Laguna break 2L petrol before this one, and i dare say, my Mazda5 1.6Ldiesel is easily as fast in overtaking. And It's one of those cars you get in to, start driving, and you just feel the urge to keep going, and going, and going, and........ LOVE IT!!!
