Mazda5 Interior / Cargo Flexibility Photos

[coolmazda5]

^^ LOL, good one, Did the little one ever wake up during the whole process?

We had a similar loaner once across the pond. It was my in-laws BMW5 wagon, and it was difficult to make it fit...

Britax seats should make a deal with Mazda5 owners, I think a joint marketing campaign would kick some butt

before Mazda 5 it was Mazda PREMACY

Hi all, from Croatia, Europe

I have learned already that Mazda 5 is first Mazda minivan model
sold in USA market, but there was one generation of such cars before,
called Mazda PREMACY and sold in Europe and Asia

I've bought one of them in year 2001 as my first Mazda.

It becomes the most important part of family road trips over whole Europe
which we have done in past years without any mayor problems


there are a lot of situations which can show interior flexibility of this car
but maybe is better to see the

slideshow of this car in all mayor European cities

After 250kkm the car is still in very good condition and we love it
​

 

[coolmazda5]

Wow, that is cool. We don't get to see 1st gen Premacy owners often, but there are a couple around here. I think the last post was somebody from Latvia last year.

Thanks for posting in this thread but I believe this European trip on a 250K Km Premacy deserves a new thread on its own (naughty), so it does not get lost here. I would suggest to post the new one with regular updates :

Good pictures by the way...

 

[bolinoga]

thank you for fine response

I feel in this group much more at home (group)

all my efforts in this forum are to show the people how
(I must say also quiet surprised for me!) reliability of Mazda minivans
gives added value on such American product as family road trippin (cool)

regarding thread
even I've posted one in photos, please suggest me
appropriate place & title for this one here


huh my English makes me to write this for a minutes and after all
I am not quiet sure that somebody could understand it (cryhard)

 

[coolmazda5]

Your English is good, not a problem!

Oh well, you seem to be well versed and even popular around the forums so I think you are all set. I found at least one picture (see thumbnail) that is worth posting in this thread, but I'm sure there will be even more during all your trips so just post them here

Also, if you can post more details about how many people are riding, what are you carrying, cargo box specs, it will make it more fun to read and reply (I think (naughty))

Take care and let us know what your next trip will be too...

ZOOM-ZOOM

thank you
maybe it looks good, but
as I was afraid of, it is not understandable


may intention was to say:

1. I would like to open new thread about family travel with Mazdas
2. I do not know where in the mazda5/premacy part of forum is best to put it
3 will the title of thread like:Mazda5/premacy family travel be OK or you, as moderator here, have some other ideas

there are sure lot of people around US who want to discuss this subject
because road trippin with kids, or even teenagers is quiet an adventure(help)

M5's view of its human cargo.

Noticeable is the amount of air space available inside the container.
There is no 7th seat blocking the aisle.

The britax allows for the younger passenger to have perfect view
of the road ahead.

 

[5phreak]

^^noticeable is how cold it looks!

 

[coolmazda5]

cool

The britax allows for the younger passenger to have perfect view

- Little one is awake this time!
- I have the same Britax. I just feel sorry for the human being seating behind it on the 3rd row, it should get obstructed view ticket price, like in baseball LOL

I can attest to the cold, as I'm in the same city.

I have a Britax Marathon in the second row of the 5 and recently added an Evenflow Triumph Advance to the third row - behind the seat with the Britax. We had 4 adults and two toddlers and made a short hop to the Montana. I actually bought the second seat for a Ford minivan, but needed the seat in the 5 for the trip. It fit pretty well in the third row and the seat itself is quite wide.

We didn't have much room left over for other stuff, but then of course, we didn't use near as much fuel as a minivan.

Checked . yes it does, but I wouldn't say it fits a humongous Taylor Made bag or similar but it works though. I have a light "Ping" bag and no problems. The bag cart has to go on top...

I don't golf, but I thought it was funny that Mazda had golf clubs in mind when they were thinking about the rear compartment - how to put golf clubs back there is discussed in the owner's manual, with a diagram.

You know that little door on the passenger side of the rear compartment? Take it off and the opening should be the right size for the base of a golf bag, giving you something like five more inches of width.

loaded and ready for wheels, tires, sway bar, springs install and oil change.

See that was something I had always worried about being a golfer/hacker.

Thanx, Glenn |B)
