#357 of 803 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 803 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 803 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)

Replying to: medicineman (Apr 26, 2008 12:25 am) Finally   One article discussed earlier here the "smaller car" suspension issues with a full load of adults (focused on Rondo, but it may be the same case for the Mazda5, except one less adult) so I believe this pic below a good example. Now imagine driving through potholes and speed bumps   Replies to this message: bobw3 (May 02, 2008 9:16 am) coolmazda5 (May 02, 2008 10:18 am) bobw3 (May 03, 2008 1:16 pm) and 1 more...
#363 of 803 Rondo and Mazda 5 sales for April 2008 - USA by conwelpic May 01, 2008 (4:46 pm)
Rondo: 2,583 vs 1,183 for 2007 a 118.3% increase Mazda 5: 2,011 vs 1,214 for 2007 a 65.7%   as I said before this segment of the market is really doing well

Replying to: coolmazda5 (Apr 27, 2008 4:41 am) Considering there's still a gap between the top of the rear tire the fender, I'd say the suspension is really good if this car is full of 7 adults. I've seen a lot of bigger vehicles looking really low in the back when fully loaded. Plus the ground clearance on the Mazda 5 or Rondo isn't much different than a full size minivan.

Replying to: bobw3 (May 02, 2008 9:16 am) A gap? I see a fender shadow over the tire, not a gap (unless the rear tires are a very low profile, irregular ones).   Let me repost the MotorTrend review extract I was referring to earlier: 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."    Source: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/oneyear/112_0804_2007_kia_rondo_update/ Replies to this message: bobw3 (May 03, 2008 1:16 pm) coolmazda5 (May 03, 2008 6:44 pm)
