When Mazda introduced the Mazda5 in 2006, it was introduced as a 'multi-activity' vehicle. Appearing to be a micro version of the traditional 7 passenger minivan, this vehicle's combination of minivan versatility, sport style, sedan ride, and affordable price have resulted in a sensibly sized, fuel efficient vehicle that offers plenty of room for 4 adults, 2 small children and an ample amount of their stuff. The 2008 Mazda Mazda5 lineup receives its first refresh with new front and rear fascias and an improved center control panel with a more user friendly design. In addition, replacing last years 4 speed automatic transmission is a 5 speed automatic that is now part of the standard equipment for both the Touring and Grand Touring trims.

The Mazda 5 is available in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trim levels. The Sport comes standard with 17 inch alloy wheels and power assisted features. Look for a sunroof and 6-CD chnager on the Mazda5 Touring. The upscale Grand Touring offers accoutrements such as touch screen navigation..

All Mazda5's receive power to the front wheels via its 153 horsepower, 2.3 liter 4 cylinder engine. The Sport comes with a 5 speed manual transmission, while its optional 5 speed automatic comes standard on the Touring and Grand Touring trims. Although its power to weight ratio is less than favorable, fuel economy is impressive with EPA ratings of 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway for Mazda5's equipped with the manual gearbox and achieving 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway with the automatic transmission.

The European admiration for vehicles with both sporty handling and compact dimensions is apparent in the Mazda5, which suits the needs of most families very well without compromising fuel efficiency while offering a thoroughly enjoyable drive. Although the 3rd row seats are designed for small children only, both the 2nd and 3rd row seats conveniently fold flat, opening up 44 cubic feet of cargo space. It's dual sliding rear doors effortlessly open wide and the 2nd row seats slide forward and aft for easier entry and exit. The 2008 Mazda Mazda5 is an excellent choice for those who need the versatility of a traditional mini van in a compact, easy to maneuver size that boasts just enough 'zoom-zoom'.
