The MAZDA 5 (2005-08) 5DR MPV 2.0 145 TS2 is a compact family people-carrier, positioned between a hatchback and a larger MPV in the UK used-car market. Its flexible seven-seat cabin and sliding rear doors make loading children and passengers easier in tight parking spaces. The 2.0-litre petrol TS2 suits families needing space for school runs, shopping and trips, while manageable dimensions help in town. Sliding doors and car-like handling distinguish the Mazda 5 from rivals such as the Vauxhall Zafira and Ford C-MAX; its extra seats offer flexibility, though luggage room is limited when all are occupied.
