Our Mazda dealership in Bentonville is pleased to announce that the 2012 Mazda5 minivan ranked third in its class on the U.S. News list of "Best Cars for the Money." How did it get there? By providing consumers with the perfect balance of practicality and performance.

Think about the last time you rode in a minivan. Where you surprised at the vehicle's adept handling and engaging drive? We're guessing the answer is no. Unless of course you were driving a Mazda5. Delivering on several automotive platforms, the high-ranking 2012 Mazda minivan provides ample cargo room, offers competitive fuel economy and maneuvers tight streets with the kind of poise normally reserved for smaller passenger cars.

After scrutinizing a plethora of respected reviews and experiencing several test drives, U.S. News found the latest Mazda5 installment to be, "fun to drive, and not just for a minivan. It has an engaging driving experience, period."¹

Completely revamped for 2012, the Mazda5 now pulls 157 ponies and 163-lb./ft. of torque from a 2.5-lieter four-cylinder engine. Due in part to the minivan's reduced size and weight, drivers will find that themselves hitting the gas station a whole lot less often. With a fuel-economy of 21-mpg city/28-mpg highway, the 2012 Mazda5 boasts lowest fuel consumption in its class.

If you're interested in the space of a minivan with the drive of a car, be sure to contact Superior Mazda and set up a test drive. In addition to the latest Mazda5, we also have plenty of other new Mazda offerings available for you to try at 2600 SE Moberly Lane Bentonville.
