Perfect! Thanks so much. Sounds like I would be able to make it work (something I can't do with the Jeep we have now).

Does this account for the angle of the second row? You really need to measure from the back of the 2nd row at the top to the back of the closed hatch to see what you can really fit.
 
You should really take it with you and check it out, since just by measuring you won't take into account the angles of the sides, the back hatch, and the back of the 2nd row seats. Plus you may find if it does fit, you won't have space for anything else back there.

44.4 cubic feet with just the 3rd row down makes much more sense. Thanks.

Plus if you're not going to need the 3rd row for sitting, you could fit that better into the back of a Ford Focus wagon...but then you'll only have the capability to seat 5 instead of 6.

It definitely would be close. Since the crate is narrower at the top and with a couple of inches leeway it probably would work. Of course if this were critical, I would try it out before buying. This just keeps the Mazda on my short list of possible vehicles to purchase.

I wonder if the Focus is as tall. I actually couldn't fit the crate into a rental Taurus wagon because it was too squat. Plus I love the flexiblility and sliding doors of the Mazda5.

Scot:
 
I have a bunch of measurements I took listed in an Excel spreadsheet.
 
Let me know if you can open an Excel spreadsheet and I can send it to you or post it here if I can figure out how.
 
Meanwhile, the top of 2nd row seat back to inside of hatch closed measurement I have (don't remember where the 2nd row seats were on their tracks, sorry) is: 32"
 
The narrowest width I have is between the rear wheelwells: 40.5"
 
The floor to ceiling heights are at the hatch opening top: 33", inside height max: 36"
 
The hatch at its widest part is: 41.5", did not measure the narrow part.
 
Hope this helps.

Focus wagon is 45" wide at the narrowest and between 34-36" tall. I checked in the Focus forum

This really puts it in perspective. Thanks for all the measurements! It's so close, I'm just going to have to check it out myself.
