This is an amazing vehicle that fits the needs of my 5 person family (2 parent, 3 children) perfectly. The trunk is a little small, but the seat in the back splits down the middle, so we can lay one seat down for extra room and still have room for all 3 kids. Gas mileage is >30mpg. One minor complaint would be engine size. It is only a 4 cylinder and does not accelerate quickly. But this is a minor concern compared to all the advantages of the vehicle. I also am not a fan of the climate control system. Even when you set a specific temperature to shut off at, it doesn't shut off. Also, there is only one climate control system for the whole car, and the rear climate control only has one blower and that blower only has one speed. Again, this is not a major inconvenience. The issue can be easily managed by closing the individual vents when necessary. Overall, not enough to prevent me from purchasing another if I can find one.

Decent vehicle

I purchased the Mazda5 several years ago, and it's been a good, running-around-town car. Plenty of space for hauling small furniture items, more groceries than you can buy in a single trip and even lumber for projects. Sadly, it's not quite big enough to haul 4x8 sheets though. Lots of leg room in the second row of seats, but the third row is a little cramped. Overall, I like it, and it gets me around comfortably for a job that I log 250+ miles every week.
