Many dealers do not post the "real" picture of the vehicle on the internet. I think they just take a few pictures and then use that for all vehicle that is the same color. Don't depend on the pictures, just look at the sticker/spec.

2010 Gray Sport Automatic purchased 9/13/10 16,734 + 124 all season mats and back step plate (I wanted these) + 378 license (paid extra 30 for cultural trust plates and extra 80 county tax) + 50 title =$17,286 out the door. yeah! (no state sales tax in Oregon) This is at Royal Moore Mazda in...

All right, deal is done. 16,734 + 124 all season mats and back step plate ( I wanted these) + 378 license (paid extra 30 for cultural trust plates and extra 80 county tax) + 50 title 17,286 out the door. yeah! This is at Royal Moore Mazda in Hillsboro, OR near Portland. Internet sale...

got an internet quote for 16,750 for a Sport Auto with no option. Will go in today and see if I can close the deal. I think 16,750 is pretty close to dealer cost.

jeez, does it transform into a robot? Too bad about the nagare, I like the smiley faces.

all right! thanks for the inputs. The whole trying out baby seats is going to be problematic because I don't have a car right now. I've been using public transport and zipcar since my Z3 broke down. So it'll probably have to be the 2010 since I'll need a vehicle by the end of the year. I guess I...

The bun is in the oven. :) I'm also thinking about some kind of wagon/hatchback, but they all seems pretty small. The back seat looks like it will be tight with baby seat and 2 people on each side. The Mazda3 for example looks like it doesn't have a lot of room back there. I'll also check out...

Hey y'all, first post. I think mazda5 would be perfect for us - new baby + grandparents. I have a few questions. Should I wait until 2012?? Is the new 2012 US model going to have istop? How much had changed? Do you think it will be more or less reliable than the 2010? The istop sounds like a...
