 2006 Mazda MAZDA5 Reviews, Road Tests, & 2006 Mazda MAZDA5 Test Drives
The Mazda5 looks very much like a shrink-to-fit version of the Mazda MPV, one that has had six grown people belted inside then run through a scalding hot car wash to snuggle up to its occupants' spatial zones.
Speaking of engine response, while the Mazda5 is reasonably peppy with a couple people belted in, load it up with a weekend's worth of yard stuff or with another couple for a night on the town, and movement gets a little sluggish.
Mazda5 Touring ($18,950) upgrades include automatic air conditioning; two more speakers and an in-dash, six-disc CD changer; power sliding moonroof; leather cover for the steering wheel; and a combination fold-out table and cargo net bin for the center row of seats.

 Mazda5 - An Insightful New Dimension of Zoom-Zoom Pleasure
Particular attention was given to the flowing wedge shape, lean and sinewy solidness, and compact appearance that embody the "stylish and clean" concept.
For example, the simple and clean three-meter instrument cluster places a large speedometer with white back-plate in the center, and is designed for maximum visibility right down to details in relationship to the steering wheel's position.
While the achievement of interior comfort and versatility were priorities in Mazda5 development, even the space wagon that is ready to redefine the segment must deliver the signature Mazda driving dynamics of responsiveness, neutral handling and linear, controllable braking if it is to embody the full spirit of Zoom-Zoom.

 Mazda5, the Test Drive
Equipped with a 2.3-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder that produces 157 horsepower, we took the Mazda5 on a grueling journey up and down the "hills" of West Virginia, fully loaded with cargo, and the "car" performed admirably, never leaving us feeling like we were crawling uphill or in danger of losing maneuverability.
One of the many cool features of the Mazda5 is the way the second row seats slide forward to allow access to the third row, which you might not think would be convenient given the vehicle's relatively smaller than full-size minivan architecture.
We think the Mazda5 is well-suited for urban types who want the function of a minivan without the stigma or the footprint, for sporty and outdoorsy types who want to haul gear and comrades, for young marrieds with their first kid or even retirees with an active lifestyle that includes grandkiddies.

 2006 Mazda Mazda5 Expert Reviews
The answer's beneath the sheet metal, as the six-person Mazda5 rides on a compact car platform, specifically the one used by the nimble Mazda3, and it's smaller than traditional minivans.
Mazda says sliding rear doors offer easier access to the second- and third-row seats, and are easy to open in tight parking spaces (not to mention less likely to ding other cars when they're thrown open by exuberant kids on a trip to the mall).
Market positioning aside, the Mazda5 manages to offer surprising utility in a package that's not as mundane as the traditional SUV or minivan, and that likely will appeal to a number of shoppers.
