2008 Mazda 5 Sport review from North America

So far its great. No complaints.

For a 3400 lb vehicle it defies all rules for a micro van or wagon. It handles great, has excellent visibility, has an interior like a Swiss army knife... seats 6 or hauls bicycles or large dogs, or anything the size of a washing machine that you might want to throw in it.

To top this performance and versatility, I have been getting 30-32 m.p.g. in mixed driving. This is a blast to drive and I'm very satisfied with it performance.

In an age where vehicles in this category have grown in mass and thirst, the Mazda 5 is a refreshing change. My last car was a Scion xB, and while it too was a great little car, it did have limitations for passengers and stuff etc.
