Replying to: bobw3 (Jan 19, 2008 2:55 am) Although the dealers are not in my nearest area, they will use my county's tax rate when calculating the sales tax. I don't know where you live, but this is true at least for San Francisco Bay area. Therefore, OTD price is what I head for. Thanks. min

We picked up our 2008 Mazda5 Grand Toring nine days ago. We waited a few days for the dealer to find what we wanted - 5s are apparently scarce here in northern Virginia right now. The sales agent drove it from Salem, VA to his dealership in Fairfax, VA (about 185 miles) and reported 32.5 MPG on I-81 and across the Blue Ridge. I'm looking forward to our first road trip - about 20-22 around town right now in the cold weather. Anyway, it's Crystal White Pearl with a sand interior - looks great! A real pleasure to drive so far - very comfortable and relatively quiet. I also have a Saab, so my wife is especially happy with the heated leather seats up front. If she's happy, I'm happy, right?  I'll report back periodically. It sounds like a lot of improvements have been made for '08. I'm looking forward to the experience, including comparing long distance cruising to the Saab.

We're just back from our 2,200 mile round trip from Northern Virginia to Florida (including local driving in Florida and Savannah, GA) in our new Mazda5 GT. We averaged 26-33 MPG overall for the trip, but I recorded 35.2 MPG from North Carolina to Savannah, GA and 34.7 MPG yesterday from Savannah to Virginia. Both times were with the cruise set at 70 mph and the ACC set at 70 degrees with AC switch on. There were four of us in the vehicle with third row folded down and full of luggage. I can't say enough about the way the vehicle cruised - very smooth, quiet, and comfortable. It felt like a large luxury vehicle with the load we were transporting. This is our fifth Mazda, and perhaps it will be the best we have owned. My 1990 MPV is my favorite so far, but this vehicle may surpass that - time will tell. |

 We are trying to buy a Copper Red Mazda 5 Grand Touring and can't find one. (We live in Minnesota.) We've checked the dealers at www.mazda5.com from most major cities and find it very frustrating. There was one in Madison, WI but someone bought it the same day we found it. Right now we're on a waiting list for a white one (not my first choice). Are these really so hard to find?
