9. 2010 Mazda 5

The 2010 Mazda 5 gains some new safety features. Mazda 5 shares elements of its basic design with the Mazda 3 compact car, but has a longer, taller body with seating for 6, minivan-style sliding rear-side doors, and a one-piece lift gate. Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring versions are available. All have a 153-horsepower 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on Sport. A 5-speed automatic is optional on Sport and standard on Touring and Grand Touring. Seating comes in three rows of two. The 2nd- and 3rd-rows fold, and the 2nd-row seats recline and slide fore and aft to adjust for cargo or passenger space. Available safety features include ABS, front-side airbags, and curtain-side airbags. New for 2010 are traction control and an antiskid system. A sunroof is standard on Touring and Grand Touring. Grand Touring has leather upholstery, heated front seats, and xenon headlamps. A navigation system is optional for Grand Touring.
