Thanks to everyone that post this site ...I was able to get good info on the 5 and after all research I bought a new 08 Mazda 5 ,a copper red and tan cloth sport model with a manual . I have enjoyed every minute . First tank of mixed driving was 28 mpg... not what my 1st generation xb did (36-40) but darn good for a vehicle thats 1000 # heavier and a couple of feet longer. This will be a good hauler for grandkids , bicycles, and big dogs. Looking forward to many miles!! Thanks
