Mazda 5 (2005-) Review

Category: Compact MPV 4 out of 5

Summary of the Mazda 5 (2005-)

Price Range: £16,245 to £20,295

Assets

Stylish shape for a seven-seater, surprisingly fun to drive, roomy and cleverly designed cabin, quiet at speed, sliding rear doors.

Drawbacks

Too many hard plastics in the cabin, centre-row middle seat decidedly occasional, seats not removable.

Verdict

If you want a compact seven-seater with proper rear seats, decent looks and a fair dose of fun-to-drive, the Mazda 5 is that car.
