2007 Mazda 5 Review
This unusual compact wagon adds a more-luxurious version for 2007. Mazda 5 is based on the front-wheel-drive Mazda 3 compact car, but has a longer, taller body with seating for six, minivan-style sliding rear side doors, and one-piece liftgate. Sport and Touring models are joined for '07 by a Grand Touring version. All have a 153-hp 4-cyl engine. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on Sport and Touring. A 4-speed automatic is optional on those and standard on the Grand Touring. Seating is in three rows of two. The 2nd and 3rd rows fold, and 2nd-row seats recline and slide fore/aft to adjust cargo or passenger space. ABS and 17-inch wheels are standard. So are front side airbags and curtain side airbags covering all seating rows. A sunroof is available for Sport, standard otherwise. Grand Touring adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, and xenon headlamps. A navigation system is optional for Grand Touring and the automatic-transmission Touring. DVD entertainment is available for all.
