Mazda Mazda5. The minivan came to prominence by offering many of the features of a full size van, but in a smaller, more manageable package. Mazda has taken that logic an additional step with the Mazda 5, a smaller-than-minivan of miniscule proportions.

Welcome to our comprehensive Kelley Blue Book review of the Mazda 5.

Like a creation from the Island of Doctor Moreau, the Mazda 5 possesses the traits of both a minivan and a compact hatchback, becoming something new altogether. Unlike anything else currently sold in America, the Mazda 5 offers six-passenger seating, sliding rear doors and ample cargo room, all in a tidy little package.

I like this car

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

the 3rd row of the outlander is pretty bad!

[OIHACKERXX]

wonder if theres a van with a lot of room like my parents 2000 MPV ES, any suggestions?

[wywywy5]

Theres actually hardly any cargo room at all with the rear seats up. Why not just by a full size van?

[EpicShweetness]

For having to haul 3 kids to school everyday (14 and two 3 year olds) and occasionally my parents and a kid or 2 this car is PERFECT! It does feel bogged down when loaded full of stuff/ppl, but 70% of my commute is by myself, and 80% of the time it's just that a daily commuter. Plus I talked my dealer into $21000 for mine wow!

@CalamityJesus Yeah, in my 34 mpg Camry I get close to 40 on the highway sometimes, but a higher speeds it does go down to the lower thirties ... not to 19 though... omg!

[CalamityJesus]

@rockindoodcm The EPA test cycle is pretty good.. but it isn't perfect. I realize that different people will get different results, but I'm seeing a lot of comments online about the stellar efficiency of the new Odyssey dropping off sharply once you get over 60-65mph on the highway. Not that the Mazda5's efficiency doesn't drop off at higher speeds as well.. all cars will suffer more dramatically beyond a certain threshold. My old STI used to get 19mph on the highway doing 70. :(

[rockindoodcm]

@CalamityJesus wow, that's pretty good. I wonder why the EPA estimates are so low

[CalamityJesus]

@rockindoodcm I've gotten 30mpg doing 60-70mph days on the Interstates and regularly get mid-20s around town. I can't complain with the old-school 4 speed automatic trans.
