We took delivery of our Mazda5 a few days before our son was born, so we've had about 12 days in it now of sporadic use.
Likes: (over and above reasons we bought it) surprisingly tight handling, smooth shifting, seat position/adjustability (1st & 2nd row), bright headlights, lots of small storage areas.
What I miss (from the Saab): leather seats, seat bottom & lumbar adjustment, trip computer, large fuel tank, daytime running lights, low-tone horn, decent armrest.
Moving up to a Touring or Grand Touring addresses some of the above.
If I were to do it over again (and had more time), I'd look into buying a Canadian model, which allows you to buy a fully loaded Mazda5 with a 6-speed manual.
