Well, we traded the Mazda5 in. Nothing was wrong with it, we loved everything about it, actually. But we wanted something a little more gas efficient. So we got an 08 Prius Touring. Bluetooth, nav, leather, 16 in alloy wheels w/ wheel covers which is kinda weird. I guess the covers help with aerodynamics but keep the weight of the wheel down.
My commute is now 100 miles each way, so the WRX has been demoted (or maybe promoted) to weekend duty. I offered to trade it in instead of the 5, but my wife said I'd be miserable without it (bless her). We'll be sharing the car as she works days and I work nights.
I was surprised how roomy it is in back. That was my main concern with our 21 mo. old daughter. The sliding doors of the 5 made it a breeze to load her in, but luckily the Prius has a rather large rear seating area so it's not bad at all. With the driver seat all the way back, I still had plenty of leg room (I'm 6'0").
Not my car, but same color different wheels.
