Safety

The Mazda5 scored well in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s front- and side-impact crash-test ratings. It does include many of the safety features we’ve all come to expect, including side curtain airbags across all three rows. The Mazda5 also has antilock brakes, brake assist and child-safety locks.

Even with all these safety features, small cars often leave me wondering, “What if there’s an accident,” so I always look for added safety features to help calm my anxiety-ridden mind. I’d like to see the Mazda5 come with an electronic stability system and traction control. I think these features would provide the added self-assurance needed to enhance the sporty-fun reputation of the Mazda5.
