    Forget the 2006 used...new 2007...

    THanks, that does help. Stopped by the dealer today to look at the 08 Sport model...actually really liked it as the interior has less of the plastic silver (doesn't have it on the doors)...I am not a big fan of the silver painted plastic! Thanks so much for all of the advice! Will let you know...

    Yes, it is $18700 for the 2008 touring model...plus 200 or so for license/title etc. We don't have sales tax here in Oregon so that is not included. So, everyone keeps saying you get so much more with the 08 model...can someone be specific about all of the differences b/t 07 and 08? We will be...

    We can get the 08 Touring for 18,700 but not with the 0% financing...the 07 has a 0% financing offer right now in our area. Again, is there any great benefit to getting the 08 model? They are virtually the same save for a few cosmetic things and an extra air conditioning vent (it's never that...

    Oh, btw, $18,100 is the out the door price, all inclusive. For the black touring model sounds like a good price. Maura

    You guys are great! If those are the only differences (listed above) I think we will go with the 07. I just wanted to make sure they hadn't made any safety upgrades/major changes. Very excited to own one of these and scoot my kiddos around in style. Maura

    Hey, found the last new 2007 touring model in black available in our area...qualifies for 0% financing for 36 months and they are offering it to us for $18,100. Does this sound like a fair price? Any major differences between 2007 and 2008 that I should be aware of? What about a car sitting on a...

    Looking at 2006 used Model...advice!

    Hello! I posted a week ago or so about 3 children in the Mazda 5/safety of the 3rd row...after looking at European/Japanese crash tests I feel confident that it is relatively safe... (any more advice here?). We found a 2006 model with 29,000 miles on it that was a rental car by a major rental...

    3rd row safety/ suitable for 3 kids/2 adults?

    Hi! Have a third child on the way and it looks like our Subaru Forester won't fit 3 car seats...can't imagine going with a regular gas-guzzling mini-van thus the 5 is intriguing. Anyone out there have 3 kids and have to use that 3rd row on a regular basis? Our kids are 4, 17 months and soon a...
