What are your thoughts on Mazda 5?

[Frost Byte]

commercials are starting to pop up on TVs

Looks nice and all, but same engine as Mazda 3? Talk about sheer engine ownage, good luck lugging 6+ adults on a 2.3 liter, 160hp engine...

I'd hit it. It'd be the only minivan I'd be caught dead driving.

 

[Aquaman]

I like it

Since you seem to know a lot about cars, (at least reporting new ones) do you have a pic of Mazda's brand new RX7 to replace the current RX8?

150 torque... have you driven a mazda 3? It has plenty of engine, the Mazda 5 is SMALL
its not much larger than a mazda 3.... I bet it could handle 6 adults fine, wont be breaking any land speed records but it will still move

 

[Toasthead]

i think it looks cool

 

[Koenigsegg]

The front is nice but the back OMG my eyes.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Sienna, but I couldn't see myself having something that large. If I had a kid or two, the 5 would do just fine.

chrysler t&c my parents had had no problem hauling people around with a 162 hp engine.

of course it was a 3.8 liter with 213 ft lbs of torque

The engine will have plenty of power for normal driving IMO even with 160hp

It's cheap as hell too. Pretty much fully loaded for $20,000 with a 5-speed stick.

 

[MasterAndCommander]

It's one less better than the Mazda6 and two more better than the Mazda3.

 

[randomlinh]

i wouldn't mind... except for the back of it.. aaahhhh

but yeah... even at a little bigger than the 3... 150 ft/lb... hrm.. w/ my 3 sedan, i sorta wish i had a little more torque. throw in a full load of ppl...

I drove a 5 last week it was very nice road smooth and felt tight. I was amazed I might get one but it should get better milage! wtf with 6cyl milage???

the seats were really cool with them all down was very roomy. And you do not have to take them out!!!!

 

[Shlong]

Not Bad for a MiniVan... I really like Mazda's designs the past few years.

 

[clickynext]

Looks like a very cool mini-minivan. I told my parents about it and they would have gone for it had it come out a few months earlier. Unfortunately now we've just got another caravan.

 

[shortylickens]

Is it OK if I talk about my Protege 5 hatchback here?

 

[bootymac]

It's pretty cool, but the engine already makes me want to cry.

I drove my GF's 3 a few times, and it's nothing too special. The steering was smooth as silk though
