    We have evenflo, diono, britax - they all fit well because of MZ5 seats. Check with safercar or consumer report to see the carseat rating. Also, consider how big/heavy/narrow just in case you need to move it to different vehicles.

    2015 mazda5 sport $18630 or Touring $19968

    touring for sure, the only reason you go for sports is the 6spd manual which is no longer offered. i got touring with sound and sun (moonroof) package for $20K back in 2012. mazda5 is not a volume seller so you can still knock off some $$. have you checked truecar.com?

    Am I crazy or am I actually enjoying driving a mini-wagon-van?

    Welcome. Even many car journalists rarely mention Mazda5 - if they yap about it it's because it's micro size and it's not directly compete with other minivans.
