Excellent vehicle for what it is.

Great packaging, usable power, good mileage (most owners are reporting mid 20's with the new 5 speed AT), good visibility and a lot of utilitiy.

I'd consider one in a heartbeat.

It's a great miniminivan, based on the focus/mazda3 platform, there is suspension kits for it (weird talking like this about a minivan).
The honda version is orri, but the mazda has it beat with the dual sliding doors (powered in japan). If I needed it for the occasional third row, I'd get it, but I think for extended trips that third row seat is probably best suited for really small kids.
As far as regular minivans go, I'd probably go with the oddysey.

to me, the mazda 5 is more like a 4 seater than 6

the rear 2 seats maybe too small for full size adult
