2007 Mazda 5?
- Thread starter Matt5
- Start date
Since the MZ5 platform is still pretty new (1 or 2 years old if I recall) I don't really see Mazda doing any major reworking for another year or two. Maybe some fascia or interior updates, but that's probably about it. It'd be cool to see a MazdaSpeed version next year, though. (rockon)

I'd like to see the 5 or even the new 6 speed auto (as in the CX-7) offered for the next round also.
It would be nice to see 2007 MY in the fall even without changes. The main reason that most known bugs would be corrected with permanent fix. Also Mazda is known for adding/changing colors quite often. Other reason that production numbers will go up comparable with 2006 MY and dealers won't be able to charge full MSRP or very close anymore.

Usually the upcoming model year comes out from some manufacturers as early as mid summer, but usually more towards very late summer or fall.
No need to wait until '07MY unless you're looking for a possibility of new colors or any first year bugs being stamped out. But no, I can't fathom they'd make any changes to the '07 over some VERY minor aesthetic details.
That being said... I'm only planning to buy in September anyways for my own financial reasons, so I'm counting on getting an '07MY for myself

I can. Mazda seems to have a pattern of making changes after the first year on a lot of their cars lately. Off the top of my head I can remember the Protege5 getting new wheels, audio changes, manu-matic automatic transmission and side markers after the first year. The 3 also received new audio options, trim options and now the new five speed automatic after its first year. I haven't paid attention to the 6 or other lines but the same probably holds true for them.
Lots of good info here, thanks. I finally pulled the trigger and we bought a 5 spd Carbon Grey GS with a/c this week. They're hard to come by, so I'll only have it in April. Fine with me, winter should be over by then.
BTW, the 2007 won't be out until October/November according to the dealer.

Hello All,
Well I got a Platinum Silver Mazda5 Touring AT with everything except Nav on Tuesday. All I can say is whoa. Then again I can say this:
1) It really does start off of the line like a demon (something that really can't be described until you're in one). The psuedo manual shift feature on the AT is surprisingly nice and effective. I've gotta search the threads on this.
2) My 5 year old said this car Rocks...so it has built in kid approval. My three girls have been warring over who gets the back seats so I had to assign permanent seats to everyone so that that dissertation would end. Harpies ( : - ) (boom07)
3) I have had several coworkers say that it is a rocketship. (The looks are killer and of course silver is my favorite color).
4) I'm about 6'3" 1/2 and I find the front seat to be very comfortable. I'm not sure how that would translate if I had another adult my size directly behind me. I'll be taking it on a long trip (900+ miles one way in mid march so we'll see).
5) Gas mileage appears to be working out pretty well for 98% city driving. My last vehicle was a Toyota Camry Wagon and the V6 in that thing was like riding a Triton Rocket. However, I don't have V6 gas money so i'll stick with my 4sili quickstart.
6) The only cons to it are: A) There's not justification for the Karakuri seat not coming on this vehicle. B) Why there's no direct iPod connection that comes standard just boggles the mind. I know there's the aftermarket unit but...Geez.

Bought it at Performance Mazda in Orleans. Chose convenience over shopping. Did not really get a deal, but hey, it's car salesman. Giving the choice between buying a car and having root canal, I would hesitate.
Anyway, got what I wanted, should fit the bill to carry the family around. I traded a Subaru WRX for it, boy...
Zoom5Zoom where did you get your? Any options/accessories you;d recommend?
Thanks,
Matt

Great Accessories for the Mazda 5 include:
1) Rear Bumper Step Plate
2) Cargo Mat (separates with split folding rear seats so if one is up other is covered)
3) Soon to come (but availible in the USA) Cargo security cover
4) Roof Rack
5) Trailer Hitch (I didn't tell ya that)
PS say hi next time I am one of those salesmen....

2007 Mazda 5 (Premacy)
I am interested in an Mazda5, but I want more before I take the plunge. I am looking for leather interior, and I would like a turbo on it just like they are planning for the Mazda3Speed model next year. The 4-banger with a turbo will 274hp. That is what I'm talking about. Also, there is talk of a special edition model in Japan this year. So, I am holding out for the 2007 model.

What Edmunds.com Says:The 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 won't be the most powerful car in its class, but it could be the most fun to drive.
What We Know: The 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 or Mazda 3 MPS, as it's called in Europe shares one key ingredient with its larger performance-oriented sibling, the Mazdaspeed 6. That's the turbocharged direct-injection, 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engine that delivers a whopping 274 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Insiders say that from its position shoehorned into the engine compartment of the smaller, lighter Mazda 3, the power plant should propel the Mazdaspeed 3 in true pocket-rocket fashion, with projected 0-to-60-mph acceleration in the low sixes. Unlike the all-wheel-drive Mazdaspeed 6, the smaller car will retain its front-drive layout. The Mazdaspeed 3 also should get the same sheet metal and interior updates as the rest of the Mazda 3 line when it arrives at U.S. dealers later this year as an '07 model. Anticipated price tag: Well under $25,000

I like the 4WD and the Karakuri 7th seat (fold away), but I prefer the steering wheel on the other side
