What Do You Call The Mazda5?

[Phratt]

I have been on many forums, in many countries, in many languages...

From what I have read so far, this would be the perfect definition:

The Mazda5 is a
"sporty whatchamacallit"

(drive)

I just thought of something... If EVER one simple description is loved by everyone, unanimously accepted by everyone, I will stick it on my M5. Especially if it can be used in both English and French (I'm from Quebec, Canada).

I was thinking of finding (or making) a cool zoom-zoom type "baby on board" type of sticker for my Mazda5 whatchamacallit. I have access to the machines for making lettering vinyl for vehicles.

It is a minivan killer. Most especially nowadays that we are seeing the '5' advertised on TV.

I'll favor 'microvan' or 'micro-mini'. I don't like 'wagon' because that denots a sedan w/ a hatch; the short nose of the 5 doesn't look very sedan-ish.
maybe 'sportbox'.

We call it the mini-minivan. But I believe it is actually categorized as a wagon which I think explains why there is no factory rear window tint available like on SUV's and reg.size minivans and vans. I think there is some fed DOT code or something that allows it on suv's and vans but not cars from the factory, I could be completely wrong but if someone knows more feel free to let me and everyone else know.

IDK, because my VUE has the 2nd and 3rd windows tinted from the factory and it is called a 'wagon' by my ins co.

Someone on standardshift.com said he and his buddy called Mazda 5s "manvans" because it comes in manual. lol. I could've interpreted as being appealing to men, as opposed to your standard 8 passenger boats

A minivan... albeit a very cool one.
