Anyone driving a Mazda 5?

Thinking of getting one. Anyone has first hand experience? How's the FC, handling etc.? Rolling Eyes

Thanks in advance.

Test drive only. Like the look, drive and space. Smooth transmission, decent pickup. Good space for seven despite its relatively small size.

Would have been top of my list but wife wants sedan.

bro.. check out mazda club forums for more reviews...

the bros there are very helpful..

my opinion, mz5 is good.. but there are minor complains about it..

Thanx bro. Very Happy

Took a look at the forum at mazdaclubsg on Mazda 5, most are good comments except for the air-con, or rather the lack of it for the rear seats.

Hmm.... Confused

a friend who has it complains that the pick up not very lively and quite heavy fuel consumption (less than 8-9km/L with normal city/highway with 2 passengers)
I personally find the front is nice but the back quite ugly with too much tailights , not in proportion to the back door.

bro.. its a MPV.. i doubt its built for lively pickups.. but again.. i believe can rectify that by using an aftermarket airfilter..

9km/L for a car that size and capacity is already good liao..

ya.. i also agree with u.. i like the front.. but not the rear...

Hi Bros,

test driven and like the feel. Handles ok, pickup ok (for MPV) and should do the job of ferrying my family of 5 in Singapore and occasional KL trips well.

Hopefully the mazdaclub guy's gauge of FC of 10-10.5 km/l is closer to the truth compared to the 8-9km/l stated here. Wink Not too sure if they're too bias...lol Razz
