    CNET Review

    September 29, 2008

    The Good: The 2009 Mazda Mazda5 Grand Touring offers fantastic handling for what is essentially a small minivan. The third-row seats are easily accessible, with a fair amount of leg and headroom for a small adult or teenager.

    The Bad: Hard plastics and cheap interior materials severely lower the perceived value of the vehicle. There's no rear-seat entertainment option available. The engine seems underpowered for a vehicle of this size.

    The Bottom Line: The 2009 Mazda Mazda5 Grand Touring is an interesting choice for a budding family, primarily because there's nothing that directly compares to it on the market. Mazda will need to improve the interior quality if the Mazda5 is to really feel like a Grand Tourer.
