"So what*s it doing in first place? Intangibles like driver engagement don*t matter in a family vehicle, you say? But if all that mattered were practicality, these would all be minivans. That they are not says buyers pick and choose their priorities. So do we. We choose to prioritize quality and engagement. We choose the Mazda."
I speak for nobody else, but my priorities were always quality and engagement. So far, I'm very happy with the choice I made. I do regret not considering a Soul Red, but the MGM was the only colour my wife and I both liked.
The long hood is the most glaring un-ulititarian design feature of the winner here, and its also the #1 thing that makes it look good.
This is so so true. Couldn't have said it better myself.I know folks who see something neat on an ad and then go "hey I need A CAR. Lets go buy one of those" even though there are 6 other cars better suited for what they need if they really sat down and compared some notes.

Its true though. The logical extreme to utility is VAN. I've said it before here. Nothing against vans. I drive vans. I own a van. I love vans.
Where do you want your daily driver to fall on the sports car to box van spectrum? There is no wrong answer.
