2006 Mazda MAZDA5 Review:
The only compact car in North America with 6 seats. Best in its class according to Consumer Reports. Amazing value for around $20,000. Actual milage is 20% higher than EPA rating. Everything fits and the kids each have their own space. Rear row is great for kids or adults under 5' 6". Usable but limited cargo room behind 3rd row. With both rear rows down, cargo room is 76 cubic feet -- that rivals many big SUV's. A brilliant car that I just love!

This is a good little vehicle. My daughter says the back (middle) needs air vents. She either too hot or too cold. I agree with her.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mazda MAZDA5?
The dash design, the automatic climate control and I particularly enjoy using the steering wheel.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mazda MAZDA5?
Really, the main problem I'm having is that the keyless entry "trips" sometimes. But this happened with my Honda as well. So, I don't know if it's the general technology or I've just had bad luck. Otherwise, I'm a pretty happy camper.
2006 Mazda MAZDA5 Review:
So far, this car, minus one particular issue I'll get to later, has been just about perfect. I feel proud driving one of these down the streets of San Francisco. This is especially so when i drive by the two other cars I was within moments of purchasing instead of the 5 - the Subaru WRX or Forester. I'm 33, I have a 3 1/2 year old son and I'm recently separated. I agonized over the decision. Do i get the WRX, i.e. single-guy, race-car on a budget. Or the Forester, i.e. time to grow up, go conservative and be "responsible". My answer, why not some "responsible" zoom-zoom, i.e., Mazda5. I've read lots of complaints about the power, but the stick I got makes for some pretty exciting driving!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mazda MAZDA5?
The smooth ride and sporty handling. The interior is very spacious for a minivan. I like the way small children can just walk in rather than having to climb in.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mazda MAZDA5?
Tinted windows.
2006 Mazda MAZDA5 Review:
I am very pleased with the way this car handles. Very sporty. I have an automatic with the 6 cd package. I just went on a 4 hour road trip on a very windy day and it handled exceptionally well. I am very impressed with the amount of interior space. My daughter has 3 year old triplets and an eight year old ... she loves the safety features and borrows it often. She and her husband plan on buying one this summer.

2006 Mazda MAZDA5 Review:
This car suits us nicely. Excellent handling & braking, fun to drive, Sleek design inside out. One of my friends thought this was a hybrid car. Very flexible seating configurations and tons of standard equipments which are found on much more expensive cars.
