2012 MAZDA5 REVIEW


The 2012 Mazda R5 is really more of a mini-van than anything. 6 passenger hatchback with a lot of cargo space. Designed much sleeker than the old box vans. Much beefier front end with a a 157-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder with Variable Valve Timing. Available in three models, the Sport trim features a six-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. Standard equipment included: cloth-trimmed seats; a six-speaker audio system; and steering-wheel mounted controls. With $300 fog lights and a $430 XM radio subscription, total vehicle price came to $19,975.
A bit more than your pa electricity.

HEELS ON WHEELS REVIEW

The Mazda5 now has some honest competition with the new Toyota Pruis v. The two share a like-minded shape and boast extensive cargo configurations for a compact car. But it’s to a point, as only the Mazda5 offers a third-row and room for six. It all depends what – or who – you want to tow.
