Anyone have experience of a Mazda5?

[evremummy]

I'm thinking of getting a 2nd hand Mazda5. Tell me what you like and don't like about it and anything else I should know. DH a bit concerned about accessing 3rd row of seats, (which will be used infrequently) with childseats fitted. Can you switch off the front passenger airbag to fit a childseat?

TIA

Hi, we have one and I really like it. We have two child seats in the middle row and find the seats move forward enough for DC1 to clamber to the back. Also the middle seat folds up to make a kind of corridor if you know what I mean. I don't much like driving, but find it OK and easy to park. We have the petrol, so fuel economy not great but not too bad. We also took 3 kids and 4 adults to Eurodisney in it and it was OK. Not sure about the front seat, will check. Hope this helps.

Thanks LaughingGiraffe. I'm probably going to look at one at the weekend. Price seems a bit steep though so if we want it will have to try to barter with the car salesman .
