Used Mazda Mazda5 for Sale

I was looking for a functional car that would fit my busy mom of two lifestyle - but I was mortified to buy a van and pass as a 'soccer mom.' The Mazda5 is the perfect car for my needs. It seats six so grandma and grandpa can ride with the rest of us - but it's not as big as minivan, so it's easier to park and maneuver.

I have three kids, twins and a baby, and we just couldn't get the car seats into my sedan any more. A mini-van wasn't in the budget, and in our urban area I was nervous about trying to park a large vehicle. The Mazda5 seats six, so plenty of room for our car seats plus a grandma or two to come along for adventures. Each seat can be adjusted separately though, so when we don't have extra passengers I can keep one of the back seats down to hold plenty of food for groceries, or a wagon, or two kid bikes. This car holds a lot, but it is so zippy! It drives like a car, great pickup when I'm getting on and off the highway, but brakes on a dime if I see a kid coming at me in the parking lot. Basically I get the gas mileage and handling of a compact car with the space of an SUV!

The Mazda5 is great for families that need a third row but aren't quite ready for a minivan. It rides smooth like a sedan with the inside capacity of a much larger vehicle.
