2014 Mazda5 Minivan Test Drive Video Review

Inside the Mazda5 is old school Mazda for better or for worse. The controls are straightforward and visibility is great. But the interior is not luxurious and the materials are not that high quality. But for the price the Mazda5 gets it done. The Mazda5 seats 6 passengers. With the rear seats folded there is much more cargo room.

If you have a small family then the Mazda5 is a nice alternative. This minivan is cheaper, more fuel efficient, and a lot better to drive.

i like this guy. he is not reading from a script like other reviewers.

One of the best reviews I have seen. He was engaging, seemed to really know the car and had a real interest in reviewing it. I have a 2009 Mazda 5 and love it. Was looking to upgrade to 2015.

As someone else said, this guy is great. I watched a number of Mazda5 reviews of various model years. This one has been the most conversational, entertaining and practical one I've seen. Thanks!

My wife has owned a Mazda5 2004 GS and now the 2009 GT. I traded a RAV4 for a 2012 Mazda5 GT. Best cars we've ever owned, never a problem and we love the space our family of 4 has. Plus the option to take the grandparents out to a restaurant dinner. We find the only thing we give up is a road trip with 5-7 passengers, which doesn't happen often enough to warrant the additional cost, parking size and fuel price of a larger conventional minivan. Hope our experience helps with your decision :)

We got one last year. We really like ours.  It's basically a big station wagon with sliding doors.  Perfect for a small family.  We only use the third row when we have an extra adult in the car (primarily grandparents), so the small storage behind the third row is not an issue.  It's way more menuverable than a full size mini-van.  Parking, in partiuclar, is much easier.  And, frankly, I really like that I could get a manual transmission.

I got the 2015 Mazda5 Sport. Great vehicle for my family...specially on long drives. Very comfortable, good gas millage...and drives like a car. Really cute and reasonable car...I mean minivan.

I have one just like this, in a 6-speed manual. It can be a versatile people carrier, it can haul 8 foot long pieces of lumber with the back hatch closed and four passengers, or it can be thrashed around a twisty country road. It's truly one of a kind in the USA market and that's a sad thing.

A Mazdaspeed 3 rear sway bar and some firmer rear shocks really makes the handling come alive, too - it's more fun than it has any right to be.

I had a 2007 Mazda 5 GT Auto and put 120, 000km on it and now I have a 2012 Mazda 5 GS 6spd. with 93, 000km on it.  They have both been great cars.  Oil changes, brakes, & tires are all I've had to them (new rear struts on the 2007)  I use them for my business.

As a manager of a rental car office, I love the Mazda 5. The main reason is because you get a lot of value out of it. You have a vehicle that is setup like a van, price is not that different from an intermediate car like a Corolla or Sentra.

I wish we saw Aaron Gold doing reviews more often. He's the best.

I wish I could buy one. I drove one from Pittsburg, Kansas to Garland, Texas. It had great gas mileage and was quite drivable.

I swear the caravan once was available with a 4 or 5 speed manual, but that was back in the 80s

[alexmarchica]

great review! funny to! no fluff, all sentences are to the point. well done.

[xiloeteknowledgiesllc]

I actually laughed on this car review. This guy combines a comedy routine with a car review!

[dpajc]

great review~! refreshing to see an actual interesting reviewer

[skipper]

Excellent revue. I have a 2010 5, which is almost identical. He picked up on all the important features and limitations. Too bad you can't get the Mazda5 anymore.

[spyder]

This guy was great. Very nice review.
