my lead at Boeing used to refer to me as the King of Segway's, so...I'm very similar to you as far as that goes.
 
Back to Rondo vs. Mazda5...I really am not in this market to buy but I do know how each of these vehicles looks. And after reviewing each of their looks I am once again in the Kia camp, liking the Rondo more. It has that "unique" look to it that Kia seems to have the talent to make. I mean that in a positive way! I won't start asking questions about each rig...I could go back and read up right here in this thread and learn a lot...but your post just struck a familiar vein in me and I wanted to participate in the thread to say "Hey, I know what he means there!"
 
Enjoy your Rondo or your Mazda5, they both have way more merits than faults, huh?

Looks like Honda is finally going to sell the Stream here.

Undeterred, Honda will relaunch an updated version of the Stream in the US for ‘09 , says our source, but only a two-row version will be coming
 
Honda means a serious contender. It also means more chances to keep the MAV market alive (Mazda and KIA alike) plus more options for us the consumers in the future .
 
Now, a 2 row seat version only? Based on all the buzz generated by the Mazda5 and the Rondo, it is clear that many people like the 3rd row availability in the US and Canada for these type of cars

As this discussion is a comparison between the Rondo and Mazda5, please go to Future Vehicles to create a topic for Honda Stream.
 
Thanks!

What is the window seat per passenger ratio? The M5 is 1:1 one window seat per passenger.

Interesting way of seeing seating options . The Stream 3-row seat config follows the 2-3-2 concept, same as the Rondo I believe (see pic)
 
But if the 3rd row model is not coming to NA, the 2 row configuration will then be an enlarged 5 people station wagon IMO. For that, I prefer my Mazda5, thank you.

If you have no need for a 3rd row, then why not the Suburu Forrester or some other station wagon?
-------------------------------------------
 
I don't need a 3rd row either but I like the sliding doors and the 3rd row can be folded down to make a large cargo area.

I loathe 3 across seating. The Mazda5 has it right with 2+2+2 seating. Even the Element's 2+2 seating is good for those who don't carry a lot of passengers.
