Looks good, almost makes me want to trade in the P5 and get one of these now. Stupid question for you, is there a factory or other roof rack available for these yet??
Also, do these have the same bolt pattern as the rest of the mazda's, 5 x 114.3??

That looks sweet.....best looking rims I have seen!! Must have cost some big bucks! She's a looker!
A friendly correction...
Yes, on both counts. First, there is a new MPV, but only currently available in Japan. Go to the Mazda Japan web sight and have a look... best looking minivan I've ever seen, but we likely will never see it in this country, which would be too bad. Second, Mazda doesn't call the 5 a minivan, and I think most folks here agree... It's not a minivan. Call it a Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV), call it a "space wagon", or if you're desparate to use the word "van", call it a "microvan".
Yes, I'll admit it the 5 has a lot of minivan qualities, and with the sliding doors it's hard to break the American mindset of what constitutes a "van" versus a car. The best qualifier, however, are M5 owners themselves, and I think most of us got our 5's specifically because we DIDN'T want a minivan. I think that says it all.

Wow I hadn't seen this thread until today. That 5 looks great! Every time I see one I'm tempted to trade my Protege5 for one, but I most definitely don't need the added functionality.
And to those who are having a hard time not seeing the 5 as a minivan, think of it more like a Honda Element. I see it in direct competition with that and the Scion Xb (though the Xb is really small).

I've gotta feeling fucy hasn't been around in a while, but I'll ask anyways...
Fucy, any chance you could post a video somewhere of your car? I'd LOVE to see the wheels spinning and/or hear the exhaust note. Thanks
yeah I barely go on this forum. the Mazda 5 lease has been end, so I returned the car.
PS I have got brand new set of carpet for sale. PM if you are interested
