Ahhhhhhhh my 5 is back

[P_bouchr]

FINALLY!
After 5-6 weeks in repairs my 5 is back! YAY!

For those who aren't sure about the engine responsiveness and zippy handling of the vehicle, I may suggest this:
Make a light accident;
Get a replacement Dodge Grand Caravan;
Use it for 3-4 weeks, just so you "forget" your Mazda 5.
Get back your 4 and post comment.

THIS CAR IS FREAKING AWESOME! LOL.... (first) .


Oh man about the Grand Caravan. We just started to get close to 0C temperatures and I swear I think the engine was going to explode... This thing is a huge sloppy cow. The only pro: I think I could toss my whole house in it hehehe...

what would win in a drag race the mazda 5 or the grand caravan? lol

I used to own a 2004 Grand Caravan. It was definitely faster then the 5. I could spin the tires off the line if I wanted to. With an auto. LOL.

Mazda5:

0 - 30 (sec): 3.9
0 - 45 (sec): 6.5
0 - 60 (sec): 10.1
0 - 75 (sec): 15.7
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 17.53 @ 80 mph

Grand Caravan:

0-60 mph
10.2 seconds

1/4 mile
17.6 seconds @ 79 mph

Okay...so maybe it just FELT faster.

It definitely just only FELT faster, I can tell you that. The 1st gear on the caravan is quite disturbing at first; you have to go a little light on the pedal. But after that 1st gear, oh my god, the thing need all it's power to just get it moving :lol:.

The 5 with a MTX feels definitely quicker in my book. And I can make my tires scream with my 5 also hehehe...

my AT feels like it kicks ass IMO

10 seconds only sounds slow....compared to my ferarri...
