Mazda 5 is a subcompact minivan manufactured by Mazda, introduced in 2005. The car is known for its unique size, being bigger than a station wagon but smaller than the average minivan. It features five doors and can seat up to seven passengers, making it ideal for small families. The car has gained popularity thanks to its excellent performance characteristics. It has a 2.3L MZR engine with 148 horsepower, allowing it to reach 0-60 mph in 9.9 seconds and yield 25 mpg on the highway and 18 mpg in the city. In terms of features, the Mazda 5 includes traction control, antilock brakes, electronic stability control, airbags, power windows and locks, cruise control, an MP3-compatible audio system, Bluetooth connectivity, sunroofs and more.
