Yes, I agree, but for the time I have driven mine I don't see it as a real critical need.
 
Most of the cars where I've seen ESC as a standard or as an option is because without it they are really dangerous.
 
After all, wasn't ESC was developed after so many SUVs and Minivans were really bad to maneuver on difficult situations even if the driver was a good one? The Mazda5 is not one of those.
 
Of course I would love to have ESC on mine. I know it is much safer for my family and me, don't take me wrong.

I'm in saskatchewan and in winter time city roads are usually frozen snow. I drive the MZ5 using ESC (easy, slow, careful) driving. . yes. with winter tires.

Adjusting Brightness of Dash Lights At Night by w00000t

I apologize if this seems like a stupid question but...
I am coming from driving a totally standard 2000 Chevy Cavalier to this nice 2006 Mazda5 Sport, so bear with me
 
I noticed the lighting in my car is pretty dim at night (stereo, speedometer, etc..). I have figured out how everything else electronic in this car works however I can NOT figure out how to adjust the brightness. Yes, I read the manual. It says it's on the handle where you turn on the headlights and whatnot but um... I tried twisting and pushing all sorts of things on there and all it does is turn the parking and/or head lights on. Someone please tell me how to do this...Thanks!

The car has a little stick/knob on the bottom left of the odometer. Turn it to the right clockwise until you hear a beep (or stops...). The beep or the stop indicate the brightest level.

I'd guess a storage cubby hole for iPod, phone or whatever. I think it would be difficult to route ducting to that point.

The Rear A/C vents:
 

 
And the new Navigation System (oh, and nicer gauges):
