#350 of 799 Things to consider for a full house of adult passengers by coolmazda5 Mar 20, 2008 (10:34 am)
With regards to capacity, we love the fact that we can fit more souls than a sedan or a wagon (6 Mazda5 or 5-7 Rondo), but if people are considering to fully carry adults on these type of cars then take a look to the report from Motor Trend below. Reality is that the car platforms are still of a smaller car (even with extra weight mods), not a full-size people hauler...   Although it's adept at hauling a variety of gear, the Kia is less proficient at transporting a full load of adults: "We drove over to a restaurant with seven passengers, and the engine and suspension felt tapped out-it's clearly not made for adult passengers all of the time."   And this also goes for the Mazda5 for sure, except that in NA it is only 6 passengers load...   Source: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/oneyear/112_0804_2007_kia_rondo_update/

Replying to: conwelpic (Apr 03, 2008 6:23 am) People are warming up to a microvan If MazdaUSA could add a 7th seat to M5, I'll trade in my Focus wagon for it.
#355 of 799 Weekend Athlete: 2008 Mazda5 by coolmazda5 Apr 12, 2008 (6:52 am)
Weekend Athlete Scores (Out of 10)   Ease of loading gear: 9 — It's a small car, but there’s plenty of room.   Ease of seat operation: 4.5 — Third row nice, second row not.   Bike hauling: 9 — Again, small on the outside, nice and big on the inside.   Locker-room cred: 7 — It's a minivan, but it doesn't scream “Mom wouldn’t let Dad take the cool car to the races!” the way others do. No faux-macho crap either.   All-around: 7.5       Source: http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2008/04/weekend-athlete.html

#357 of 799 Mazda 5 and Rondo sales in Canada for March by conwelpic Apr 15, 2008 (7:40 pm)
here is the model breakdown for KIA and Mazda for March in Canada   Rondo - 764 (2007 - 407) Year to date - 2,194 (2007 - 1,066) - over 100% increase!   Mazda 5 - 1,560 (2007 - 1024) Year to date - 3,323 (2007 - 2,367)   looks like Mazda is doing extremely well with their new Mazda 5 and a lot of Canadians are enjoying it. It appears that the niche market these two vehicles occupy is coming along in leaps and bounds!   to give you an idea about a couple of the so-called competitors: HHR - 360 PT Cruiser - 275   Drives: 2008 Rondo EX, 5-seater, 2.4L Location: Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada
#358 of 799 Pics of seven in the Rondo by medicineman Apr 26, 2008 (12:25 am)
Perhaps I misspoke about that pic of six in the roofless and sideless Mazda5 as being "photoshopped." Take a look at this behind-the-scenes pic of a promotional shoot of the Carens/Rondo. Yeah, they actually removed the roof:     And now for something completely different:     Have a gothy Christmas everyone. If you want to see more pics of the Carens with Magyars dressed as Szent Mikulás and as Slipknot roadies, see here (yeah, I know Slipknot isn't really goth, but that's besides the point).

#359 of 799 Reverse beauty contest by medicineman Apr 26, 2008 (12:49 am)
Lookee what I found during my Internet travels, a poll entitled, Which is uglier, the Kia Rondo or the Mazda 5? Unfortunately, the poll is now closed, so all of us forum members can't flood the poll with our fair and balanced picks.   Here are the results:   Which is uglier? 34% (14) Kia Rondo 24% (10) Mazda 5 9% (4) Both are ugly 26% (11) Neither is ugly 4% (2) Looks are secondary/irrelevant when I evaluate a vehicle Total: 41 votes Replies to this message: irismg (Apr 26, 2008 6:58 am) coolmazda5 (Apr 27, 2008 4:33 am)
