Genes 6th Gear July 10, 2012 Share July 10, 2012 just booked a mazda 5 over the weekend, with a 14k+ discount from the carnival, effictive paper price is 146K++, which i personnaly is very worth it, IMHO, most practical of the above mentioned lot...parts easy n cheaper than say renault or opel...bigger space than the opel... before i was also aiming at the opel many many gadgets...panoramic roof...adjustable sun shade..etc, etc., but then oc prefer the sliding door...and the comfort of the M5.. FYI, the baisc cost of M5 based on 28K OMV, and 82K COE is about 146K already!!!! Above only MHO, please do not flame me! Cheers! Yes really. The sliding doors are a godsend in our increasingly tight parking spaces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Neutral Newbie July 10, 2012 Share July 10, 2012 i agree that mazda used to have higher fuel consumption than other similiar cars, however the trade off is a fanstastic road holding capability without sacrificing the comfort level much, its basically a driver's car...you will know what i mean if you have driven a mazda before.. prior to this new car i was driving a civic 2.0, power! no doubt! but the handling sucks....feel like "turtling" on most corners when only slightly faster than normal.... Have driven the zafira tourer...good handling but...rock hard suspensions make my pregnant wife very uncomfortable.... the newer mazda cars's fuel consumption is better than the old cars, and is very acceptable with a range for the M5 at about 10-12 km/ltr, this is ok for me for such a big car... again IMHO!

Genes 6th Gear July 10, 2012 Share July 10, 2012 "one needle sees the blood" Mazda suffers from their reputation almost as badly as Alfa. All the my grandfather's uncle's cousin's friend's grandfather's auntie's niece's son said it's bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just signed on the dotted line..duno when can collect my car....will keep in touch ya Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, folding the seats down will give u a super spacious wagon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarzan666 2nd Gear July 10, 2012 Share July 10, 2012 Driving MZ5, love the handling, i felt more spacious than wish, but the FC is killing me..made worse by changing to 17 inch. Backside itchy for another mpv again.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfenstar 3rd Gear July 10, 2012 Share July 10, 2012 thanks for the write up...now need to see the real thing...the zafira tourer that is... Go look at all. Each has its pro's and con's. What I listed was based on my own likes and dislikes. For e.g. if your priority is speed, then the S Max is it, 3rd row AC, 5008 or C4, v.high milage driving, Grand Scenic Diesel, price, Touran, etc. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
