CONS: could use rear HVAC vents, other very minor issues

REVIEW: The mini-minivan! I love this thing-especially compared to our old minivan. This is perfect for people with 3-4 younger kids who want a smaller, more economical vehicle with better performance than a standard minivan/SUV. This is the smallest thing I've seen with sliding doors and a 3rd row ...

CONS: glare of center console, sun visor are too small, air conditioner slow to cool

REVIEW: I love my Mazda 5. Unlike other's have reported, I have great pick up even with all 6 seats filled. Perhaps, that is because I have the manual shift, not the automatic. The ride is quiet, and the steering response is excellent. It hugs the road beautifully, even on the very winding Ortega ...

CONS: No passenger arm rest. Front seat doesn't fold flat (to allow for long items)

REVIEW: This car is great! I did the research and was blown away by the cost/value. My wife and I looked at the CR-V, Rav4, and Vue - but kept coming back to this one. This car is not a sports car, so it won't go 0-60 in 2 seconds. Gas milage is okay, I would expect 2-3 more miles per gallon, but ...

CONS: No Traction Control, Paint Prompt to Scratches Easily.

REVIEW: We're a family of four + Dog and reviewed other vehicles prior including SUV's and quickly realized that from this price point nothing comes close. Interior designed w/driver in mind (cheap plastics though, maybe Hyundai could consult Mazda on suppliers), controls are logical including ...

CONS: No front passenger arm rest, Squeeky suspension and brakes, black interior hard to keep clean.

REVIEW: Excellent vehicle. This car was everything I was looking for. out of all the crossover sports utility vehicles, I found the Mazda 5 the easiest to get in an out of (even for big people). Lots of head room. It is easy to fold down the seats if you want to carry cargo. Handling is good, Fuel ...

CONS: "Two handed" driving on windy days

REVIEW: Overall, I love my 5. However, it seems to "tell" me it hates Nebraska winters. The suspension makes horrific squeeks (more like clunks !) when it is cold. Also, when accelerating from 2nd to 3rd, the engine looses power and the entire vehicle lurches forward. Could this be caused by a ...

CONS: not enough storage spaces, noisy seat belt reminder, bad blind spot in rear

REVIEW: Great for carrying kids. For better excelleration when needed, there is a downshift, on the gear shift. Great tuning radius. Handles like a sports car. Good in water. Louisiana. I love the sliding rear doors. Fits great in any size parking space. The air conditioner takes a while to cool ...

CONS: A bit under powered, but fine. A/C needs time to cool

REVIEW: Japanese made, high build quality, suprising number of standard equipment, great functionality, roomy, solid, beautifully crafted. Love te way it looks and handles, still gets people looking and asking questions. Best made car I've ever owned. ! ...

CONS: Glare from middle consol, needs a/c vents in back' Noisy Seatbelt alarm

REVIEW: It is not a grandpa car - Have 15000, runs perfect. Tough on dirt roads though. Finally have dash mat. 5 yr old can open/close sliding door. Tires are adequate, but Michlins will make it great. Does good in snow (Cedar City, UT) up to 4 inches. Smooth acceleration. Keeping it at 85, 5th gear, ...
