ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ม.ค. 2012
- Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! TH-cam's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we will take an up close and personal in depth look at the newly redesigned 2012 Mazda5 Grand Touring. Boasting practicality and fun, this vehicle is a nice choice for those looking for a more practical vehicle without sacrificing on the fun of a sports sedan. During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW:
In this channel you will find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself!

I'm aware this is an old video, but given my family has just bought one of these I really appreciate your thorough and easy to follow review and demonstration on all the cubbies, nooks and how everything folds and stows away - I feel like I know the car before we've picked it up :)
How is the vehicle so far? I am considering on getting either Mazda5 or the Prius v Five.
@Hyperspace Explorer it's very good. For a ten year old car with 90k on it she drives very well, feels solid and is really versatile with seating configuration. Very badly with it so far. I got the smaller diesel manual and have got 52mpg thus far :)
I wish we received the diesel model in the US. It's a good car but 50mpg would have made it a lot more popular I think :p
I have one! They’re so much fun to drive!!
Coolio! You should do a video of it if you want. This Mazda minivan is very cute
You look young to be driving a minivan
@@colinl5985 I’m an adult lol
@@thehollyannrose I know but you look no older than 23/24. It's what I mean 😄
@@colinl5985 Just cuz she looks young doesn’t really mean she is young
Have a 2012.. One of the best vehicle I ever owned. 100k and basically no problems. Fold the seats down and use it like a cargo van. So many trips in this baby. Keep her service up ( by a trusted Mech). I do all my own service. Trans service at about 50k and several drain n refills since. Regular oil changes and let it warm up a bit b4 hard driving. @80k she got new plugs, coolant flush, brake fluid flush, new drive belt. Also, replaced the battery at around the 5 year mark. of course replace your air filter ever 15k or so. Yes the rear shocks make some noise, but it's nothing, they are inexpensive and easy to replace. Don't get the factory ones, get some monotube KYB or even the standard Monroe shocks and it's all good. Got her first brake job(front only) @99k and new tires. Only really concerning issue I had was the brakes, I came in hot at a gas station and hit a hole where they were working on the road and the anti-lock brake system kicked in. Then the brake pedal went almost to the floor right after that. I was a little concerning and I had that issue a couple times. I bled the brakes a time or two, thinking maybe I had gotten air in the system. It always kinda corrected itself. I now know that it is an issue with the brake anti-lock module. I was thinking I needed a new master cylinder, but that wasn't the case. Now that I know what was causing it, I haven't had anymore issues. I just try to avoid any sudden stops that might cause the anti-lock system to be activated in an extreme manner. I keep her squeaky clean and don't abuse her and she is pretty much as good as new. Will most likely keep it for a long time, b/c it will make a great second vehicle also. Should be good for 2-300k miles. Most issues people have are due to negligence, lack of care, ignorance and taking it to bad n rough mechanics.
faulty brakes numb nut
Do you get a rattle during cold start? My Cx-7 started last winter and I believe they have the same engine. I’m considering getting this as a replacement
@@bhadz100 I have a used 2007 and when I start it I get that little engine rattle even in warm weather. But I think you'll like this more than your CX-7, as the 5 has sliding doors, room for 5 more with you and don't believe what you hear about the 3 row. There's enough room when the second row seats are moved just a notch or 2. Another option for the seating is rotating seating. One day someone sits on the back the gets the center the next day or week. If you don't need the seats you can put them all down and have a huge area to put slot of stuff. I can fit my 29" rim bike in here without having to remove the front tire. All in all I think you'll like this more than you Cx,-7.
Thank you for this review
As the owner of a 2007 model, the Mazda5 is one hell of a fun vehicle to drive. It's really peppy and handles very well seeing it is based on the Mazda3 platform. Plus even while travelling at 70MPH, I was still able to get 28MPG on the highway. The engine is very smooth and refined, mind you I own the 2.3L based version.
I just picked up a 2013 model. I actually like it more than my BMW crossover. Plan on changing out the radio for android touchscreen with google maps and it would be perfect.
if i ever had to drive a minivan, this would be it!!! a minivan with a stick shift, would be ideal!
It's really good to see a reviewer that knows what he's doing.....
First crossover SUV's and now this...the crossover minivan. Shouldn't be too long 'till we start seeing crossover pickups as well. Oh that's right, the Subaru Baja!
You forgot the El Camino
You forgot the Ford Ranchero.
@@kylescheffler8483 hahaha that sounds funny
now look, ford ranger hyundai santa cruz
This aged well
Excellent review. Thanks for your hard work. It will make the test drives easier now that I'm familiar with the car.
Great car, just missing the rear tinted windows. It feels like your in the open with no privacy at all. Man having this job is AWSOME, driving a new car every week is my dream!
Have this as a rental and this is perfect for a road trip if you have a small family (ig wife and husband and 2 kids) the second row recline to the point you feel like you are in a first class airplane seat
Kyle, you have really stepped up your review. Really great job.
This car would be great for the older folks too.
The practicality is endless!
Thats one happy Car
I tuned in to watch COPS, and the "bad boys" song on TV was playing in sync with the video here. xD Aside from that oddity, the video was very well presented, Kyle. Keep up the great work. B-)
all Mazda's now say hello and goodbye, it's pretty cool
"Bad boys, bad boys, what u gonna do, what u gonna do when they come for you"
the 2010-present Mazda5 is assembled in
Hiroshima, Japan
Taiwan (Ford Lio Ho)
High quality review. Respect
It's a practical and peppy car! My dad had one for a couple of months but he really enjoyed it.

As usual another exceptional presentation . The Asian car manufactures I noticed are very clever in the installation of creature comforts and compartments and the layouts of these cars . I like how the head rests move down and additional ideas as the small tray moves like your in first class on your flight on an aircraft and about a half dozen other great things that were shown in this clip ...
Holy shit, my Mazda Protege that's 10 years older than this van uses the same style switches for the headlight adjustment.
that's standard even Korean Cars.
Great video, totally complete and I think better made than any from the dealer. The unique "fail" I've seen on this model is the lack of the third passenger's seat in the second row seat. I can't understand why for the US market this model comes with only capability for two passengers when in other countries there comes with the entire three seats, the mediun space is a kind of three-quarter seat but easily can be seated three people in the second row, Mazda 5 is an excellent minivan after all.
They're really cool vehicles. A friend has one and it's perfect for her kids. Great vid as always Kyle!
The handling of the 5 far exceeds that of a large minivan. It might not be straight line fast as a V6 minivan but it is miles ahead in the handling department. 10 times more fun to drive. You also have to take it for what it is, a Mazda3 hatch with a minivan body.
IDK why but I like this, and I'm 22.
Midnight Mystery I have one and I’m 19. It’s just a Mazda 3 that got stung by a bee. 10/10 would recommend.
Best. Auto. Reviews. Ever...
Love the COPS theme at 15:48...
That is one nice Van, I am very impressed with all the features for the money.
It would make a perfect hauler for myself. Even though I live alone I do radio tv and computer
repair.
No lie dude you should be on Top Gear America, or do a guest appearance on Top Gear UK. You have the potential and the recognition from mostly anyone who saw your channel. If you would do more test drive with an in depth review just like this one then you are set. It doesn't have to be expensive cars, just cars that normal people would buy for every day usage. Set up more cameras for the twist n turns etc. Show people the cars' pros n cons. All n all keep on doing what you are doing man.
how did i miss these past three vids?! especially a ferrari and MKS..
1:29 sounds like Hondas old starter
Nice review of the van/car. Thanks. It has helped with my used car purchase. You showed me all I needed and wanted to see in the review. Really nice job.
What did you end up buying?
@@ruolov1 I bought a 2012 Mazda 5 just like the one in your video same color even. Been a good little scoot about town car. Just hit the 90,000 mile mark. Yep low miles also.
1:10 "Hello" haha, I'd buy one just for that.
Mazda 5 also known as Mazda Premacy & Nissan Lafesta
I was surprised they offer a manual for this car. Wasn't expecting that for this sort of car. Great video as always
Thank you for this review, Im planning to get the 2013 Mazda 5, it will be great for putting a chair topper on it for me, as I am handicapped, this little teenyvan is perfect for me to adopt, I have a tradition of naming all my cars...and I plan to cll my little mazda 5 Timmy the Teenyvan..HEEHEE..:)..Love the review.:)

my parents would love this 2012 Mazda5 Grand Touring
Parents and I just test drove one of these today, loved it. Dunno if we're gonna buy one or not but definitely very tempting :D
Just as an FYI, the center row head rests fold down so you can fold the seats flat without having to take the head rests off like in most hatch backs and SUVs
can't wait for this new Mazda5 to be released in my country..
i would classify this van as a microvan just cause its small and cute
10:54 - a walking Christmas tree!!!
the front bumper is like smiley :D
It's wery good when you take in depth tour with test drive.
A very well done review answering about all one could hope for!
very nice,great presentation i like how u sat in the back seats to get a real feel of the car.
we don't see people carriers here in the us so i liked this car for the concept
hi,kyle nice work,your videos make evrey car to look special
19:50 why don’t all SUV’s and minivan’s have that feature?
the neighborhood you were driving around looks nice to live in..
I don't like vans but this is nice! I love the option of a 6 speed manual!
1:31 never thought a minivan would sound like that.
i still love my routan it is a joy to drive every time
thats the most fucken happiest minivan ive ever seen
btw there is an "MPV" that also feels sporty and should be a direct competitor. It's the Ford S-max with the Volvo 2.5T.
bad boy! yeahhh!!
Cool car I love it
I'm buying one
That is some exceptional Sasquatch footage.
Liking the sound of the engine
I guess these really are "mini" vans
perfection
yes you can say they are. my girlfriend and me call ours The Micro Machine because of its size. but heck I love it fun to drive and can carry all sorts of stuff.
I love how these can come in manual
Thomas Folse there are barely any automatics
Basically a Mazda3 wagon in the form of a minivan. I love mine :-)
Is it ok in the snow?
in my last job they have one of these, it a fun car, i really like it a lot good drive and nice interior, the gas in the 2.5 is not that good but is a nice car
Great vídeo, thanks
I hate minivans...but I would buy this in an instant..
oh!..I forgot...The main feature i love about little Timmy is His Big smile!..:) HEEHEE..I Love happy cars!!.:D
i'm not sure why they didn't just put a center seat for the 2nd row...
In other markets they have a seat that folds out from the storage compartment in the driver's side second row seat, but I don't think it would have complied with US safety standards
Galvin Davis im not surewhy. they bothered addidng power outlets in the rear
Minivans don't have a center console because of convenience
In South Africa it does
Why? I would much rather a captains chair vs a bench
i hope the current generation of Mazda 6 is coming soon.
WoW ! I love seeing people hate on car companies like MAZDA, These drive fantastic, they're also fun to drive, versitile and much more. I always see people complain about there audis mercedes and bmws saying things like there cars eat to much gas, the tire wear to fast, the engine makes to much noise, the technology is frustrating, but people who own there mazdas say it's fun to drive, easy to maintain and the grille is unique. In my Opinion STOP comparing $55,000 cars to $25,000 it's POINTLESS!
Its way better than the Mazda MPV in terms of fuel economy. But I would have expected more hp from a 2.5L
Very in depth. Just what I needed prior going to the dealer test driving. Thanks
i love the way he drives.... (quietness) vvvvvvvrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooom
In Belgium (Europe) there is a diesel engine 1.6 liter 115 Hp 199 lb-ft. to this car I just order this car and waiting until end June to get it.
this video is nearly 10 years old. Still relevant
your videos rock saabkyle04
I prefer the look of the Older 5. Also I wish you could still get it with a built-in nav
@myskman1 Its a really peppy engine for a minivan,I should know, I own one.
I'm looking for one, they're rare to find
Yes they are. I was lucky my brother found one 2007 model. I was hesitant at first but after a second drive bought it from a second owner and mine till the end of time. There fun to drive but parts are very hard to find. Not found often in Upull It as most owners must love them. Only seen three do far in 2 years. Keep looking your bound to find one.
I think thats a really nice minivan ive always loved the mazda 5 van but somewhat expensive and gas guzzling
Tyler DiCicco
yes it is somewhat of s gas guzzler. of course I tend to gun mine when leaving the line at the light. that might be why I go through a few gallons in a week and half instead of 2 and half. either way fun to drive.😀
you could be right. thanks.
wow. nice review. good car.
I want to buy this mazda 5 car, but, i don't know, where is it to buy. Please help me. i am from vietnam.
dude the mazda just said hello to you
@stefann1989v2 Yes and it is true that you like the exterior of a car and that you don't like how a car looks.
@SanderOfficial I agree, plus I'd rather have less power and better fuel economy since that's what really matters. Seems like everyone wants 500 HP and 30 MPG, but let's face it, that's not happening
@ilovecarsalot11 if it was bad you could always get new tires. On the highway it's about vibration and wind/engine noise
its the only van i would put my self in,
love that horn
kyle is me my name is alireza im liked your video
@gvsmc93 they don't sell the Audi A1 in the US...
i love ur channel
@mytylerify Needs some MazdaSpeed DNA to finish it up!
We had the same one but with display in the interior
the 2012-present Mazda 5 is assembled in
Hiroshima, Japan
could you please do the in depth tour of the Ferrari california,
thanks.
It's a very nice car for the price.
Hey Kyle when your doing night driving clips I think you show us with the Highbeams own and lowbeams for comparisons, it will only take like 4 seconds really. And I think it would be 4 seconds worth it.
