Replying to: d_hyper (Apr 03, 2007 9:45 am) Well, in the case of comparing a Mazda5 to a Mazda3, yes, taller DOES mean a higher center of gravity. |

Replying to: eldaino (Apr 03, 2007 8:57 am) The 5 also handled quite nicely. I actually found it quite tossable. I didn't expect it to handle as nicely as the lighter, lower 3, but what I found surprising was that the steering lacked the precise road feel in the 3. And, IMO, Mazda has to put in traction control in the 5. It wasn't difficult to spin the inside front tire at all when turning on wet pavement. |

Replying to: stallionre (Apr 05, 2007 4:40 pm) And its your opinion. Rabbits can compete especially with the price of the Mazda's you are right...they SURE can! If you don't want to upset anyone, don't post comments like '_____ sucks.' or, 'i HATE _____'. I like my bunny better than the 3, but i still like the 3 and realize what both cars stregnths and weaknesses are. You post has a very heavy air of someone who didn't REALLY own one, and is just saying that to hate on the car. For example, why not elaborate to why it sucked? And why you traded it in so early? was it a 2 door? Four door? Did you make a profit off of it or do you know have negative equity since the earliest you could have had one was back in 2006, and that means you would have had to have been waiting in line for one...

Let's not turn this into a personal thing please. It's OK to disagree about the cars. That's the purpose of a comparison discussion like this. But we're not here to talk about the motivations of each other. Let's stick to the cars please.
