I guess he wants the insurance company to take away your settlement and the police to arrest your for DUI. Gotta love the sympathy...

I've tested that on my 08, just running the AC off the front vents and pointing them up. My kids tell me that it's no comparizon to actually having the rear vents on.

That is a SCARY story. Glad it was only the car that was totaled. I think this just reminds us that even beloved cars can always be replaced... people can't.

Is it just me or is this another example how Ford is the only domestic company that seems to just "get it". You look at the product lines of GM and Chrysler and you can't help think "clueless"

I'll add my 2 cents worth concerning the cargo liner. I ordered it online and when I first received it it felt a bit cheap and flimsy to me. But after about a year of almost constant use (golf clubs, trips to Lowes, luggage, etc) it has held up very well. It does fit very snuggly and does not...

Welcome to the fold. I think most people have the same sentiments towards the 5.

Why? I learned on stick and drove MT for 12 years. Yeah, driving a stick can be fun on an open road but it absolutely stinks in traffic... When I was younger, I felt it was sort of a "badge of honor" that could drive stick and other people couldn't... but in the end it was just pride. (I do...

Yeah I agree. I thought it would be alot higher than that.

You are probably one of the few that have power sliding doors. The N.A. version does not even have that as an option and doesn't look like it will in the near future.

Wow, that would be fantastic. 42MPG in the highway!! That would really set the Mazda5 apart. I wonder if there is any sacrifice in performance with these new engines.

Agreed. Mazda just doesn't not have the marketing muscle like Ford. (but then again, Mazda doesn't really seem to try to even market or advertise the Mazda5)

Not really sure if that is news.... I think everyone could see that coming. That's because the american automakers don't really have a compelling lineup of fuel-efficient vehicles. The Cash-4-Clunkers favored the Japanese brands from the start.

Wow, finally some competition. Although I do find it funny that this "competition" comes from Ford who partly owns Mazda and that it will share the same platform as the Mazda5

I checked the Kia website. It says the Rondo does qualify but I don't think it gets the highest rebate.

As Maxwell Smart would say "missed by THAT much". I'm not really into this Mazda5 vs Rondo debate. I think both are very good. But I'd be curious to see how Mazda5 sales compare to Rondo in August with one qualifying for the "clunkers" program and one that doesn't.

Welcome aboard! There is no rear hatch cover when the 3rd row seats are up. In fact you have to take out the cover in order to use the 3rd row. Don't know that much about sun shades... maybe another can comment. I would definitely get the windows tinted. As for oil changes, it depends on...

I think the Mazda5 is really the only bright spot in what is dreary news across the board for Mazda. I hope their sales recover soon but because I'm getting a bit worried about the company as a whole...

The only relatively cheap option is to buy a portable CD player that can play MP3-CDs and plug it into the MP3 input jack on the Mazda5

Sorry about that. But I still think you'd be much better off with a larger vehicle. But I think it's important to keep in mind that what might be small for your situation, might be fine for many others.
