2007 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

2008 | 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
One of the smallest vehicles with seating for 6. Going to a full size minivan removes the option for a manual transmission, severely reduces visibility and adds too much weight. SUVs are just way too big see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Space for two kids or adult to sit comfortably - elderly father sits up straight and can access easily with sliding doors. Pop up seats deal with short term travel with friends/teammates. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

3rd row in a "car" is nice - we always have the occasional 3rd or 4th child and like that they are somewhat temporarily available. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Rear seats fit adults or kids in car seats adequately, especially for an economy car. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Tons of rear seat room, and the second row seats can slide back/forth and recline. Third row is reserved for small children, however. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

The rear doors are the sliding type, which is the most practical (and brilliant) type of rear doors for children. I also like the fact that the middle seats recline and slide, they have storage under the cushions, and a third row of usable seating! see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Great, height adjustable driver seat, with good lumbar support. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Second row seats have lots of room, can slide fore and aft, and can recline. The passenger seats up in a chair-like posture, with great support for thighs. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Can easily and comfortably seat six (6!) adults in a small package with storage space remaining. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

With the seat all back, there is not much room for anyone over six feet tall. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Tight fit once the front seats are slid back. Third row is useless if the second row is slid back. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Much too slow, with a full load of 6 Passengers getting onto a freeway is difficult. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Engine does not like cold weather - hard to start when below 15 F. I thought fuel injection and computer control eliminated such balkiness in general. I guess not with Mazdas. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

The 158hp 4-cylinder is adequate, the 4-speed transmission helps make it less so. Also, the response seems rather abrupt for its class. And this response could be to blame for an engine mount failing prematurely. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

performance with automatic is very lackluster. engine is willing only at high RPM but not torquey enough for scooting around town see full Mazda Mazda5 review |
