Mazda5 Grand Touring Wrap UP!
I had the ultimate pleasure of driving a Mazda5 Grand Touring to Yosemite. The Mazda5 is a true delight to drive!! The car drives smoothly! The handling is amazing. It drives like a small car with all the features of a large family car. The greatest feature for me? 25.5 miles per gallon MOUNTAIN driving!! That’s OUTSTANDING!! I love the amount of room in this car!! 3 rows of seating!! We took the Mazda5 on our day trips, 4 adults and a toddler in a carseat and still room in the back for picnic lunch, stroller and day packs! More to love:Sunroof. Double Sliding Doors (the greatest invention ever!!) EASY…

Multi-tasking in the car…….. not a good idea!!
Parents are more likely to drive distracted when traveling with kids in the car.

The survey looked at the number of behaviors distracted drivers engaged in when traveling with children. A total of 618 participants participated in the survey. Respondents were asked to indicate whether or not they had engaged in driving texting, self-care, childcare, phone use, entertainment and directions while driving. Ninety-three percent of all respondents…

Party TIME!!!
Are you planning a party anytime soon? Or, are you the person in your circle of friends that everyone depends on to host the birthday parties, holiday parties and game night parties?

Mazda5 Grand Touring and Yosemite
Driving to Yosemite in the Mazda5 was a dream!! The car hugs the road. Hauls a ton of camping supplies. Has a ton of added amenities, hook up for your iPad or iPhone. SWEET!!! 2 charging ports. One in the very back of the Mazda5. The charging port in the back was really HANDY when I wasn’t driving I could still charge my phone. The Mazda5 Grand Touring has hidden compartments under the middle row of seats. Lift up the seat cushion and there is room for a purse, iPad and phone. (On each side!) Note to self…. be sure and empty the compartment before you install the babies car…
