Seeking good fuel economy, passenger space for six and a serious amount of versatility? If you answered yes to those queries then the 2009 Mazda MAZDA5, which also boasts a very palatable price, could well appeal to you. - Kelley Blue Book Under the Mazda 5's skin lies a lot of DNA from the Mazda 3, a class-leading compact sedan that sets itself apart with razor-sharp handling and a solid European-like ride. The sporting heritage gives the otherwise utilitarian 5 a more athletic, nimble handling nature than anything else that bears the descriptor of van. The Mazda 5's compact dimensions also make maneuvering through traffic and squeezing into tight parking spots a breeze. And once you're in one of those tight parking spots, the 5's sliding side doors will make loading the little ones into the back easy. - Edmunds The Mazda5 has the utility of a minivan yet is as agile, maneuverable and economical as a small car. Based on the Mazda3, it delivers responsive handling, a comfortable ride, and a relatively quiet interior. Braking was very good overall. Stops were short and well controlled in both wet and dry conditions. The seating position is upright and high, giving shorter drivers a commanding view to the front. The two second-row bucket seats are comfortable and roomy. The third-row seat is only suited for children. Access is very easy, with large door openings and a low floor. - Consumer Reports This '09 Mazda5 Sport Minivan is a six-passenger minivan that features: 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic climate control, rear-seat air-conditioning vents and controls, full power accessories, cruise control, fold-flat second- and third-row seats, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, a trip computer, electroluminescent gauges, and a six-speaker stereo with a CD player and an auxiliary audio jack. In performance testing, a Mazda 5 Grand Touring went from zero to 60 mph in 10 seconds. Fuel economy for automatic-equipped 5s is 21 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined. Standard safety equipment on the 2009 Mazda 5 includes four-wheel antilock disc brakes, front side airbags and three-row side curtain airbags. Stability control is not available.
