What owners say
"Owners of the 2008 Mazda MAZDA5 generally appreciate its comfort, spaciousness, and fuel efficiency. Many drivers enjoy the fun driving experience and good build quality. However, some dislike the noisy engine and road noise, and a few have noted that the plastic body parts could be a concern. Overall, it’s seen as a practical family vehicle with commendable performance."
The vehicles performance is quite peppy for a 2.3L engine. It's the heart of Mazda's Zoom Zoom! Quality has been good...the only problems have been a piece of moulding coming loose on the left passenger window, and the back window shattered. The styling of the vehicle is very smart and sporty for a Multi Use Vehicle. Gas mileage is great...at about 625km a tank. It's a Mazda...of course it's fun to drive!!!
January 11, 2010Handles very well. Excellent quality - solid and beautifully finished. Perforrmance is fantastic - Lots of extras for your money - good MPG and parts Incredibly fun to drive - kids love it and so do I! Would recommend this to anyone who needs the flexibility of carrying more passengers than you have seats!
July 7, 2008Pretty quick, fairly comfortable for the 'above average' sized driver, but loads of cupholders...11 of em! Seats 7 when we need to, and has a good sized boot when we don't. Good fuel economy at around 30mpg ( good considering the way I drive! ) and it looks a bit different. Much more comfortable than the Zafira I tried, and better equipped.

August 26, 2008The 2008 Mazda Mazda5 has turned out to be a great family vehicle for us. It has flexibility with its cargo space. It seats four comfortably and six when it's pressed into duty for people transport. Add to it a 5-speed manual transmission, low maintenance costs and good fuel economy, and we've been quite pleased with it.
May 5, 2015It does everything I want and gets better mileage than poor old Moby Van got. It also is brand new and has 21st century technology in it so I feel like I am caught up with the time in which I live. It does onyl have a 4cylinder engine, but it does the job and I am happy with that. When I get older and the girls are all grown up it will be time to win the lottery and get me the Aston-Martin I really want!
June 20, 2008good preformance. excellent build quality. very nice interior and extirior. good cost. fun 2 drive. great car made in japan ..cool to drive and strong on the roads . good shape and colors good for families.i just love it . see u .
September 16, 2010Interior room is pretty good. Its a minivan that drives like a car. Easy to park. Fuel mileage is good, wish it could hold more fuel. Wife loves the car. The cargo room is not so good, but can seat six comfortably.
December 16, 2012I have only had my Mazda 5 for 6 days. I am not sure about the gas mileage because I have not taken it on a long trip. The one irritating thing I have noticed is some degree of road noise. I cannot figure out where it is coming from. I suspect it is coming from the rear tires. Maybe they need balancing or maybe it is the type of tire. Not sure. But will take it in to the dealer and have it checked out. Other than that I like the car a lot and will be curious to see the actual gas mileage in city and highway. Thank you, DJ
June 7, 2009The car gets great mileage for one with a third row. It accelerates and brakes well, but the engine is noisy. Too much of the body is made of plastic. But I think it is a good car for a family that is interested in low cost and good gas mileage.
May 24, 2009nice comfy good gas cunsumpt. cheap lots of space , fun to drive , auto a/c is cool , auto wipers is cool , radio sounds good , but tires are wearing very fast ( toyo proxes) recommend to buy with other kind of tires maybe like bridgestone potenza or something similar. but the car is very amazing
