Mazda Mazda5
Despite its youth (it hit the market here in 2006), the Mazda 5 rapidly became popular among families looking for a compact minivan. Its sporty look and its modular seats can satisfy most needs. The sliding rear doors have shown to be very useful for letting children in and out. Its mechanical components are reliable, its chassis solid, and it offers a pleasurable driving experience. It was updated last year.
