it had a pretty good review in Top Gear Magazine. they tested the new MX-5 and Mazda 5, and both scored 16/20 and 14/20 respectively.
definitely pretty good scores for a group of highly anal road testers, esp. considering they bashed the s*** outta pretty much everything else.

Hey Everyone,
I just joined the forum and am also a new owner of a M5. Unfortunatly they are hard to get here (Ontario, Canada) and need to wait until late August/Early Sept. Perfecto, I must say as a fellow Canuck I'm jealous you have yours already!!
We had a really hard time with the color choice not being able to see them in person. So we called around the dealerships in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and went to see each color in person. Our top 3 color picks ended up being:
1) Carbon Grey (Wife's Pick)
2) Platinum Silver (My Pick)
3) Indigo Blue
Originally we wanted a true silver like the sunlight silver in other mazda's as we have a VW Golf in Reflex Silver. So the salesman told us that Stellar silver is the same. When we saw it I had a sudden urge for a mint!! Not a bad color (Very interesting in fact) but not for us.
So here is our order that will be coming in the future. A Carbon Grey GT with air and Auto. I'll keep you posted....
Pic to follow once I find a place to host my pics.

Hey thanks for the advice!!
Thank you everyone for the welcome to the forum!! Well here is the picture of what we're getting sometime in the future. It's frustrating that they have this brand new one on the lot but can't be ours yet. Guess we need to wait until the end of August.

It needs tinted windows, an Eibach drop and some nice rims with the 5 speed and it would be sweet.
The colors are just awesome.
Showcase Mazda in Phoenix AZ has several of them on the lot just ready to go home with new owners.
Tinted Windows
Interesting about the tinted windows. It is confusing to say the least. If the Mazda 5 lacks the privacy glass (or whatever you want to call it) simply because of the way they chose to classify the "5", that is an oversight on Mazda's part. I realize minivans and SUV's have rear tint, but I also see a number of other vehicles which also appear to have standard or available factory tint; the Scion xb, Dodge Magnum Wagon, PT Cruiser to name a few. Regardless of how their manufacturers chose to classify them, these vehicles are not true vans or trucks, yet they have the tint..

I just counted the windows and there would be 11 windows to tint. That isn't going to be cheap. 5 down each side and the back one.
