Mazda 5 review - CarBuyer

Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/mazda/mazda5/mpv/review

Full marks to Mazda for trying to make the Mazda5 people carrier look sporty... The effort has certainly made this car stand out from rivals like the Ford C-MAX -- although the results have not been entirely successful. However, if you can look beyond the unusual wavy lines that shoot along the bodywork, you'll find the 5 is a very sensible people carrier, with a clever, flexible seating arrangement, convenient electric sliding doors and a smooth, comfortable ride.

As an owner of a 2012 Mazda, I can tell you, I have no cold-weather suspension woes. I DO wish we had the third middle seat, though.

Could you please do a review of the new Chrysler Grand Voyager?

Reviewer kind of resembles Jim Carey. Jokes aside, it's an amazing car in such a compact package. Well done Mazda.

@blueburaq Oh yeah, BTW, go test drive one, seriously. Handling is phenomenal to say the least. I keep thinking it's a Bimmer, it almost feel too good to be true like handling.

@blueburaq I know, I had a 1990 Honda Civic LX, had real good traction in snow, but the ground clearance was really low so used to hit a lot of stuff underneath the car. The 5 has higher ground clearance and I think if you think about average, it's up there with most sedans. I would not expect it to be a SUV class ground clearance, if it was, it would probably not provide the sharp handling like it does. I find the clearance to be adequate for most situation, and it looks good at the same time.
