Though it retains the basic shape of a large minivan, the 2006 Mazda5 looks sporty. In my opinion, Honda’s Odyssey has been the sportiest looking minivan on the market since it was redesigned for 2005, but I think the Mazda5 is sportier yet. It features a raked windshield, an aggressively styled front end, a tapered roofline and standard 17-inch wheels. Have four-cylinder with a standard five-speed manual transmission, the Mazda5 is currently the only minivan that offers a manual or an optional four-speed automatic. The automatic transmission’s shifts are smooth, though its clutchless-manual mode is uninspiring. If you want the control a manual transmission provides, get the real thing.

In the safety system Mazda MAZDA5 have Standard safety features include antilock brakes, side-impact airbags for the front seats and side curtain airbags for all three rows of seats. Second-row seats have LATCH child-safety seat anchors and top tethers, but the third-row seat only has top tethers. This car is equipped with many features such as navigation system, DVD entertainment system and a remote starter. A number of dealer-installed accessories are available, including bike and snowboard carriers. Market positioning aside, the Mazda5 manages to offer surprising utility in a package that’s not as mundane as the traditional SUV or minivan, and that likely will appeal to a number of shoppers.
