Mazda 5 test drive since 2010 minivan
On a long zoom-zum
An ideal seven -seater traveler What is the first to catch the eye when looking at Mazda5? A long base and the nose far extended forward. Licking rear doors saving a place in the parking lot. Close to the ideal profile, contributing to a low fuel consumption and silence in the cabin at high speeds. All this is united in a very well -tailored and even elegant minivan, which outside does not look either over -over or too long.
Meanwhile, three rows of seats are hidden behind tinted glasses. Let only two of them be called full -fledged, but still seven brave in the Mazda5 minivan can be transported.
The key in the usual sense of the pretty grenade casket does not have a grenade -colored casket. Instead, a keychain. We touch the rubber button on the door handle and get to the driver's seat. The seat is regulated in very wide
limits from passenger to almost cargo position. The KP lever on the beard has become an almost unchanged minivan attribute. The only clue is a slightly hooked movement towards the fifth gear. From the very first meters, the main and very fat plus of Mazda5 is revealed. This car rides perfectly and steer. Easy and without unnecessary violence over technology. Ford platform recognized leader in consumer properties. Mazda copes with potholes perfectly. Moreover, it is almost not important at what speed to overcome them (within reasonable limits, of course). One way or another, but even 150 kilometers per hour, road irregularities do not affect the trajectory, and almost in no way on passengers.
Also reliably this machine prescribes quick turns. Maybe a little more expected is heated, well, it’s almost a bus. And this is not felt at all at the wheel.
The dynamics of a two -liter machine with a mechanical box is also impressive. Leaving half of completely prestigious foreign cars behind, our family transport does not annoy the noise at all. Unless going up to the maximum line of the tachometer, the motor will notify the driver with a sobering hum. But, a little release of the gas only rustle tires. Not bad. Pressing on the brake pedal responds with adequate slowdown.
What else did Mazda5 remember? The quality of the interior decoration, good sound and large mirrors worthy of the entire car. Convenient and multifunctional car. Worthy of respect and attention.
The functional salon does not require time to get used. The best compliment to interior designers went
The transformation is simple, but there is not too much space. But getting on the third row is not at all difficult
A tightly packed two -liter engine is the best suited for this machine. With him the car is fast, economy-michen and moderately Shumen
Long low thresholds should not mislead the owners of the five. It’s pretty hard to get them to the curb

DESIGN
The first screening of 2004, the design under the leadership of the Sea Callum (Moray Callum).
Outside, the sports orientation of the style also affects the appearance of Van. Muscular plastic and subordinated to aerodynamic tuning the shape and surface. The face is formed by two floors of air intakes. The upper bores the signs of the brand, the lower, thanks to a large -earned grid, works on a function. The silhouette of a classic station wagon is supplemented by a belt of an aerodynamic body kit and a horizontal gap on the rear wing, indicating sliding doors. Everything is stylish and bright behind: the spoiler above the glass, the lanterns with six rounds of the lenses and the V-shaped glass line of the fifth door located at the top. Inside, everything is very whole. The high Vanovsky landing of the driver is emphasized by the appliance panel with the corresponding architecture: the high location of the gearbox lever and the climate control unit. Silver overlays of the central console make these features more noticeable.
