Not really apart from what you have highlighted already, BUT the ride feels more smoother/refined, plus it seems that they corrected some of the little things that were overseen in the 06 as it has been also highlighted earlier.
 
One silly example is: my 08 6-CD player has now a pause option, very useful. Another one: the sliding doors now have an extra pillar/door support/stopper on the top corner. Silly, but I'm sure that reduces wear and vibration in the long run...
 
MPG is a little bit better but not drastic change, I guess it was some fine-tuning done. The 08 gets an extra MPG in average (yes, one, but better than nothing )
 
Driving dynamics, well they are Mazda and 5MT, enough said. But feel very equal though.
 
Now, note that if you really need TC and DSC as many people have complained, 2010 is the one for you:

I am having the flexing/thumping noises from my 2007 Mazda 5 now that it's cold. I found the 208 technical bullentin that applies to 2006-2007. Here is the link. I already called my dealer; our Mazda 5 is still under warranty and I'm going to bring this with me to make the process easier.
 
This Tch Bullentin is Called:
Subject:
NOISE FROM FRONT OR REAR SUSPENSION WHEN PASSING OVER A BUMP
OR DRIVING ON UNEVEN ROAD
 
Link: http://www.finishlineperformance.com/pdf/mazda5/bulletin/02-001-08-1918.pdf
 
13 pages of tech bulletin. Hope this helps my fellow Mazda 5 owners. I like this car, so I hope the noisy suspension can be addressed.
 
Good Driving.....

This TSB has been mentioned here a few times. I hope it works for yours - it didn't work for ours. Twice.
