YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD
There are likely few takers for a Mazda 5 with manual transmission; so it makes sense Mazda would only offer it on their "Sport" model. Would have been nice to be able to order a full-luxe Grand Touring with manual. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2009 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
No manual tranny option available at testing time. Also, manual is only available on lowest trim level. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2008 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD
No vehicle stability control, or limited slip option. This, combined with a high (for the Mazda3 platform) vehicle weight leave the inside tire spinning on aggressive turns, outside tire sliding on slick conditions. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
