POLL: Mazda 5 Ownership vs. Driver

[Bodgerx]

Only got one car, I take it to work, wife is a stay at home mom.

Same here. I work at home sometimes, so the car is pretty much 50/50 shared. Don't have more cars than you need!

Public transport is probably a bit better here than the US though...

Curious how many here are the primary driver of their Mazda5 or if this is the wife/partner's main vehicles and you are just the default care taker.

I use to drive the manual 08 daily but I now only drive it on the weekends, if even.

Hey Silent, I am the primary driver of our MZ5. Wife drives an 08 Matrix, but she tries to steal the keys often.

Both. Guess which one is hers.

The right one.

Define "need"?

4 cars in my household

I'd say right, but only because it has parking sensors

Completely necessary. I'm just not into having having depreciating things lying around when they are used rarely, or a single car can be easily shared.

The one on the right.

1. Back up sensors
2. Awful parking

Define "completely necessary"

I have three cars that are necessary to our daily life and one car that mostly lies around but is necessary to my mental health

I'd have even more cars if I had the place and the money for them.

Bingo. Apparently the parking sensors only help when backing up.

 

[Bodgerx]

Fair enough. If I had the money, I would have something sporty. I like my cars to be paid for though, so that isn't going to happen soon.

Same here- 4 cars, 2 drivers. Oops.

I'm the primary driver of the 5 now that we got an odyssey too. Twins made the 5 seem pretty small, plus I didn't have time to work on the TDI I driving for the foreseeable future. 18 months later and fun factor of the 5 is wearing off with it not a MT. Maybe in 3 to 5 years or so I can feel okay bout selling it to get a skyactiv to save gas money.
