The 2008 Mazda, with all the cargo space and convenience of a larger-sized family vehicle, is compact and affordable. Sport hatch performance, dual sliding rear doors, room for six, and precise Mazda engineering make it a dream come true. Mazda calls the Mazda5 a ''multi-activity vehicle infused with sports car inspiration'' that ''efficiently transports people and equipment like a large SUV.'' For 2008, the Mazda 5 has been restyled, is available in five new paint colors, comes with an auxiliary audio jack, and has an available automatic transmission.
