New Mazda 5 2.0 TS2

What is it? This is the first time we’ve driven the Mazda 5 in the UK, and the first time we’ve sampled the finished example of the new 2.0-litre petrol motor, driven through a six-speed manual gearbox and with the start-stop tech from the 3. Mazda wanted to make the 5 entertaining to drive, and within the parameters that the laws of physics set for big, tall cars, it is.
