Replying to: autonomous (Mar 13, 2007 1:29 pm) the rabbit being the car that it is, i'm not suprised that it won either!

Replying to: ktpkloss (Mar 10, 2007 4:08 pm) good choice ktpkloss! Glad you like your bunny, my experince with the dealer was much the same; quick, friendly, and to the point. But the dealer that i deal with now (where i get my service done.), they are less than stellar. But i was more concerned with the buying experience personally.

Replying to: autonomous (Mar 13, 2007 1:29 pm) and the other cars were offering the same size engine too.

Replying to: bodble2 (Mar 14, 2007 9:02 pm) I thought it was only 156hp. Oops. You're right! I don't know from where I got that. Replies to this message: eldaino (Mar 16, 2007 4:49 am)

#143 of 389 Slightly off-topic, but... by bodble2 Apr 03, 2007 (8:47 am)
I had the opportunity to drive a Mazda3, and a Mazda5, both rental, but almost new cars, back to back. Boy, do they feel like completely different cars even though they share platform and many components! The steering feel, in particular, felt so much better in the 3.

Replying to: bodble2 (Apr 03, 2007 8:47 am) its probably the weight, a car like the mazda 5 really need a small displacement v-6. Plus its much taller than the 3. Replies to this message: d_hyper (Apr 03, 2007 9:45 am) rorr (Apr 03, 2007 10:27 am) bodble2 (Apr 03, 2007 11:27 am)

Replying to: eldaino (Apr 03, 2007 8:57 am) 5 feels 500-pound heavier than 3. It's still a very agile car which does not need a v6 (unless you recommend v6 for every car) - with manual it accelerates well and stops great. Also, taller doesn't mean higher center of gravity.

Replying to: d_hyper (Apr 03, 2007 9:45 am) "Also, taller doesn't mean higher center of gravity."   Well, in the case of comparing a Mazda5 to a Mazda3, yes, taller DOES mean a higher center of gravity.
