Should I buy a Mazda 5?

[Ahyoo2002]

Hi all,

 

I am considering getting a Mazda 5, the price after the bank rebate (about $3.3K) is $70.6K and at the interest rate of 3.2%.

 

Before I sign on the dotted line, anyone can give me comment, feedback on whether I should get this car?

 

Any feedback, comment and objection all welcome

 

Thanks

Looks sporty.

 

Much cheaper than odyysea n grundees.

 

Save on road tax as compared to the other 2.

Nice looking,sporty with sliding rear door,but not popular

[Vit4wd]

That is S$8K cheaper than the Toyota Picnic.

 

Great value for money. Go for it!

[Diesel]

I think its quite a value buy at $70K. Sliding doors are good for tiny parking lots in singapore, looks quite nice too

[Keithpapa]

if u like the drive, look etc. buy lah. don't need to ask as we will not pay for you.

[Watwheels]

Best is ask yourself.

 

Have u tried the competitors of similar make?

 

Does it fit your bill or budget?

 

Bottom line : Decision is yours.

Bro, do take note that Mazda 5 does not have rear aircon and hence rear passengers might not tahan the 'heat' during hot season

 

Jus my humble opinion cos last 2 Sundays back went with a buddy to test drive the Odessey and it has rear aircon unit on both the roof for the rear passengers Of course, price is almost a $25K as compare to Mazda 5

[Keithpapa]

Odessey is Frankly, I will choose either Wish (for FC)or Prinic (spacious enough for me).

[Route88]

No rear air con? Tats a let down

 

Might as well take the new Honda Stream.

 

Wish/Picnic is old liao...

[Mzrmazda3]

Agree Bro

 

Odessey is definately

 

But the price for the Premium model is almost 100K

 

But it's damn song sitting inside even for the 3rd row passenger Freaking spacious

 

We have 5 adults plus 3 children on it during the test drive

Heard from the SE that the new Honda Stream would most likely hit the showroom Dec but still not confirm

 

But the new Stream looks chio

[Route88]

Yeah baby Yeah

[Mzrmazda3]

Fierce & areo dynamic

 

Think the subsequent for the facelift model would have signal indicator on the side mirrors

 

Swee ah

For the price bracket, your other choices (Japaness) would be the

 

Picnic, Wish - Toyota

Stream - Honda

Zafira - Opel

M5 - Mazda

 

All the above listed are 7 seaters.

 

The plus point for the M5 is the styling. Sliding door. Decent handling. Some fellow M5 drivers say economy not bad. Doing around 11-12kmh.

 

Minus points are no rear aircon...

 

Personally I like the Mazda 5 for its overall package. Install a rear fan for the back passenger and that should help in our heat. I am driving the Picnic now and its also a nice ride. Torquey engine and decent handling. Space is excellent as the way Toyota package it. It has rear aircon and very comfortable for everyone in the long run. (6 pax to Genting before). Economy is so so nia...doing around late 9 to 11kmL for highway runs.

it price is your 1st option, M5 should be the best option in Japanese MVP, otherwise top up $3k for Honda Stream, better Power, FC and OMV

[Odyssey02]

However, the old Stream can never match the M5 in terms of interior space. If not, the new Stream should be coming in soon.

 

There's also the Opel Zafira 1.8 MTA with 140hp going at 70k in today's classifieds.
