Though the 2014 Mazda5 lacks the cargo space of its larger rivals, critics agree that its fun driving dynamics and low price make it a compelling choice. Because it has the best combination of positive reviews, price and long-term ownership costs in its class, we named the 2014 Mazda5 the Best Minivan for the Money.

The 2014 Mazda5 has a four-cylinder engine, which some reviewers say can feel a bit underpowered. A six-speed manual transmission is standard and a five-speed automatic is optional. Critics agree that the manual transmission makes the Mazda5 fun to drive, and that the automatic transmission shifts quickly and smoothly. The 2014 Mazda5 gets up to an EPA-estimated 22/28 mpg city/highway, which is exceptional for the class. Automotive journalists agree that the Mazda5’s small size makes it feel quick and agile around town, though a few note that its ride isn't as smooth as other minivan’s rides. Reviewers say the steering system provides quick responses and excellent feedback, and they note the Mazda5’s small turning radius makes it easy to drive in crowded parking lots.

Most critics say the 2014 Mazda5 has a simple interior with a contemporary, functional design. Test drivers think that the front seats are comfortable, though they say taller drivers might want more legroom. They write that the second-row captain’s chairs are very comfortable and spacious and they say the third row is suitable only for children.
