I'm so proud of the little Mazda5 Touring. I feel quite paternal toward the little minivan, though I know I don't really have any right to -- I only reviewed it for About Minivans Guide Jeff James' site, I didn't actually design it after all.

Jeff recently wrote an article about The Top 5 Fuel Saving Minivans, and the Mazda5 was right up at the top of the list.

When I reviewed it, I concluded that "I'm not a minivan guy, but I could easily see living with the Mazda5's convenience, flexibility and practicality. The Mazda5 might just be the minivan for people who hate minivans."

I'm so proud of my little blue friend.
