FactShortly after this Mazda5 generation launched in the US, a recall hit: drivers unaware their automatic had a 'sport mode' that locked the transmission in second gear were cooking their exhausts.
The second-generation Premacy, model code CR, went on sale on 7 February 2005 in Japan and mid-2005 in export markets, and was bigger than the first generation in all aspects; it was sold as the Mazda5 in all markets except Japan, and rebranded in Asia as the Ford i-Max. It is based on Ford's global C1 platform, so it shares many parts with the Mazda3, and was previewed as the Mazda MX-FLEXA concept at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show and officially unveiled at the 2004 Paris Motor Show. Outside North America it seats seven using Mazda's "Karakuri Seating System", while in North America it fits six. The Mazda5 replaced the Mazda MPV as Mazda's minivan offering in most export markets, and was the first compact minivan in the United States since the 1994 Mitsubishi Expo.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

This generation of Mazda's people-mover was a design first: it introduced Mazda's "Nagare" (flow) design language to a production car before anything else wore it.

This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.
Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.
YRV stands for Young Recreational Vehicle, a mini MPV built to out-handle its own segment rivals.
The Terraza was Buick's first-ever minivan for the North American market - a badge-engineered cousin of the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay.

The first-generation Lumina APV minivan was nicknamed the "Dustbuster" by the press for its sharply sloped windshield, which pushed the dashboard far forward of the driver.
Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.
The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
