Hi, everyone. My wife and I just sold our house and currently buying another one together with my father and are keping some of the cash for future house upgrades and a Mazda 5! We have a 4-year old and plan on having another once we're settled into the new place and feel the 5 is the perfect vehicle for us. I've a VW guy (currently own three) and this will be my first Mazda.
We rented a 5 many rears ago for a Vegas trip with some friends and LOVED it. The small exterior dimensions, compact car-like driveability, sliding doors, and flexible seat configurations are really appealing to me. I find it insane that, despite being the only manufacturer to offer anything with these features, sales managed to fall to the point where they decided to discontinue it. I guess America only like minivans that are more like megavans.
(sadbanana)
Anyway, we are looking at a couple different dark blue 2014 models with 40-50k miles. I'm really excited about a particular CPO one that's a couple hours away so it better be there Saturday morning when we go. Unfortunately, practically every one we find is sport model with an automatic so that's what I'm expecting to end up with. I'll be getting my own 17's, adding some projector fog lights, and a stereo redo with bluetooth, a backup camera and possibly nav (android app radio or something).
This forum seemed to be the most active so I joined. I've already learned some things and look forward to contributing what I can.
