2009 Mazda MAZDA5 Expert Reviews from Around the Web

Found 3 expert reviews, showing 1-3:


Other Choices:

With a starting price of just under $18,000 for the base Sport, the 2009 Mazda Mazda5 is quite a deal for a sporty, economical people-mover, provided you watch the options; fully loaded top-line Grand Touring models can top $28,000. Kia has a lineup of vehicles that are especially friendly for urban dwellers who want a lot of people-hauling ability and yet need to fit into a compact-only parking space. The Sedona is one of the few remaining minivans sold in a maneuverable short-wheelbase version. But there's also the Rondo, a vehicle that looks a little odd but does everything right in terms of passenger transport and interior comfort. The Rondo has hinged rear doors, however, and only offers an automatic transmission. The Kia doesn't have the Mazda5's tight handling, though with either of the Rondo's four- or six-cylinder engines, it feels peppier and more refined than the Mazda5. Among other offerings, the RAV4 is one of the few compact SUVs to offer a usable third-row seat, though only for short trips or small kids. The perky Scion xB might suit those who don't really need a third row of seating, as its stylish, boxy body affords a roomy interior.

    DSC--just not for US

    Yup, yup: Mazda offers traction and stability control on this model--ELSEWHERE!
    Seriously, Mazda: not only do safety experts state this as a near-requirement, the US is thinking about *requiring* it! Without AWD, DSC is a MUST, at LEAST as an OPTION!
    I *love* this vehicle, but can not, WILL not purchase it w/o stability & traction; instead, I will pay MORE for the perfectly acceptable and reliable and EXPENSIVE Toyota Sienna--where I will get EITHER awd OR traction/stability.
    It is unconscionable, unimaginable that Mazda offers these options, just not in the U.S.
