Replying to: coolmazda5 (Nov 13, 2008 6:09 pm) I don't think it's really that hard to get the Mazda 5 in the $15k range anymore - no matter the year. With the economy in such a slump - everyone's slashing prices to get rid of inventory. The deals out there are only getting better. |

Replying to: vg33e power (Nov 14, 2008 9:24 am) I think the older Civics are fun to drive - but the newer ones are getting "fu-fu." We're basically wanting the wife to have more room with the kid - plus something that we're able to haul stuff around with - basically a glorified grocery getter. The only thing that I'm don't like about the 5 is the mpg. It seems low - for such a low output motor.

Replying to: boxrs4sale (Nov 14, 2008 8:43 am) Oh, and my Civic was a 99, it was nice but not fun to drive, the Mazda5, even as a grocery getter model, it is quite fun to drive, test drive one (and if its manual even better) |

We just got a black 09 sport for $16769 this weekend. Loving it so far. A few minor design features I miss from our forester like the over head sunglass storage and in dash storage, day time running lights so you don't have to turn on/off lights, a dome light within reach of the driver (why is it way in the back? how about a switch to access it from the front?) And why did they go to the trouble and expense to put second row vents but not connect them to the heat? Why just AC? Weird. Love the controls on the steering wheel - especially the stereo mute! Love the space inside. I swear it is bigger inside than outside! But the worst is the headlight angle. GOT to get in to the service dept and get them fixed. We live on rural highways and can't see more than a couple hundred feet ahead if that without the brights on and there is too much on coming traffic to keep them on. I am really afraid I am going to hit a deer! But overall we LOVE it!

Replying to: abarry90 (Nov 17, 2008 7:58 pm) I'm in eastern PA and have been shopping for an '08 Model with my first quote being very impressive without much negotiating: Automatic '08 Sport with Pearl Paint, All Weather Mats, and Bumper Guard: MSRP: 19,923 Invoice: 18,758 Price: 17,058 I know there is $1500 of dealer engagement cash on the '08 models and it looks like they're giving up ~$200 of holdback as well. I think the dealer engagement cash for the '09 is $1000. If it's only a few hundred bucks difference, I guess it's a smarter move to go for the '09 model year. |

Replying to: abarry90 (Nov 17, 2008 7:58 pm) I have disliked the unreachable rear dome light and missing sunglasses storage. I was also unthrilled that the rear vent/blower does not send heated or cooled air to the passengers. It just sucks whatever is nearby. Kind of cheesy. Otherwise my wife and I are really pleased with it. It has been said many times before, but the microvan parks like a motorcycle. I swear, it maneuvers around a parking lot like my Sentra. Plenty of power and extra easy access to the middle seating area. I have even sat in the third row for around-town driving and haven't been unhappy about the experience. (I am 5'10", might be less happy if I was a few inches taller.) |
