2012 Mazda5 Review - Kelley Blue Book

FOR PRICING & SPECS ON THIS CAR VISIT:
www.kbb.com/maz...
Not quite a van, not quite a wagon the Mazda 5 is a three-row passenger vehicle that defies conventional automotive categories. Supplementing its practical attributes are a distinct exterior and surprisingly engaging driving dynamics. In short, the Mazda 5 is a low cost and surprisingly fun alternative to traditional people-haulers.

This is the only minivan I would like to own. I love the quirky styling and Mazda's trademark driving feel. If only Mazda's interior quality was up to par.

[@discordwhen2472]

Gosh. Micah sounds a lot different now than back in 2012

[@videonaj]

I'd choose this one if I needed a people mover. I love mazda's. So much more fun to drive than Toyotas.

[@sigor2011]

Good review.
Picked mine up last week, thanks!

[@pranavm8233]

sigor2011 do you still have it

[@sigor2011]

@@pranavm8233 no.

[@georgehernandez1502]

@@sigor2011 did you have any issues with it?

[@sigor2011]

@@georgehernandez1502 nothing major. I got mine rebuilt after a good front end collision. Had it for 130k km or so and sold after. No major repair but I did play with it a little and posted some videos about some work I've done on my channel.

The best of the minivans. Available with a manual!

[@TomDeVito]

I think it's time for Mazda to give the 5 a total re haul again start with the grill get rid of that smiley face and put the kodo design on it. I like those sculpted lines in the sides so those can stay the interior eh maybe redesign that to

[@manuelrodriguez7051]

I really like it, very sporty and fun to drive. Not perfect but what is?

[@ShiftedPerspective]

Its alright if thats what you need it for, this is more of a functional/practical car, not for style people!

[@datboiwes333]

I don't see how somebody would cross shop a Transit Connect w/ this car. Isn't the Transit Connect more like a commercial vehicle? I only see businesses with those things not people using them as regular driving vehicles.

[@playitydown7588]

A Manual Minivan is pretty cool!

[@2Kriss2Kross]

That "Hello!" in the beginning always creeps me out for some reason.

[@reevsaj]

@austinman1995 Don't think an F-150 is going to cut if if you have more than 2 kids.
And the F-150 is kind of a midlife crisis car, for "real men" who drive it back and forth from the office parking structure.

[@MyRandomLife247]

Hey KBB, I want you to do more "cool" reviews, liven things up a bit!

[@kc2zxl]

Well if you add Premium, it should give you a bit more power. Plus change out the header, plus free flowing exhaust, and K&N intake, and you should get around 190-200 ft/lb of torque.

[@jwatwater]

I mean... it's pretty dope... espically considering it's a van

[@ormand3000]

THUMBS UP if you like the music when it goes, DU DUN DUNN followed by a whistle.

[@Nywindshieldcrackrepair]

Great minivan

[@z28kindaguy]

I wouldn't getting this car. Mazda is making some great cars.

[@lego4virgo]

Now, Mazda no longer makes this van or any of their other minivans--anywhere. They've gone full SUV/CUV now.

[@Fenncer24]

bigvirgotube
yep you're right about that. SUV's are the cult culture at this time. but in about 3 years this fade will fad again the vans and wagons will rise again like the Phoenix. just give it time.

[@iTziLLUMY]

More motorcycle reviews please.

[@TheSuperMotoHooligan]

I don't like the new styling. the previous gt model actually looked pretty cool. the kbb girls always look good. yummy.

[@csc-photo]

I really like this vehicle, but I just don't think I can get over that smiley-face grill... what was Mazda thinking there?

[@blusnuby2]

Dilemma: Gen 1 Mazda5 had a nice front end---but UGLY brake lights. Gen 2 had that GOOFY smiley face---but GREAT looking brake lights !

[@melaniearculus3380]

my aunt crisi has this van

[@lbryan250]

3:29 thats the only way mazda knows to do a sunroof

[@pranavm8233]

[@republicfalcon]

pretty lame for a 700th video =P

[@jumper1294]

hellO

[@IanBrewster]

Don't like it, ugly front to basic inside, ford galaxy or s,max would be my choice if i was going for a motor like this.

[@drury2d8]

bad safety rating

[@MyRandomLife247]

First HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ShermanMR2]

You CAN'T fit 6 adults in this van!!! If you are looking into buying this drive a used Toyota or Honda van before you make your purchase. It also feels like an economy car when you are in it. Have you seen the back of it, fugly to say the least.

[@worlddxb]

4th bitches

[@luvculturegurl26]

ugly car.

[@twisted5abi]

just go buy a mini van than this. this is like a bastard child of a mini van and station wagon

[@Emmanuelbrooks03]

Just buy a minivan, way more space! More features! And looks 10 times better!

[@gentle285]

this car is ugly
