Replying to: bgw (Jun 12, 2008 12:20 pm)  And, "tongue-in-cheek reply"? Please. Ever heard of the term "backpeddling"? Fact remains, you haven't sufficiently refuted any of the points made on how the 5 is superior to the Rondo, nor have you presented a good case in favor of the Rondo proving it to be better than the 5 - and that's simply because it's not, and there's no way around it. Since this IS the forum section entitled "Mazda5 vs. Kia Rondo", I'd call this a TKO! The M5 wins!

(unofficially). In fact, Mazda Europe sells a hitch for it and rates it above 2000lbs. I think the reason the manual states otherwise is because Mazda NA didn't test for towing capacity. BTW, I still have that hitch if anyone is interested.

Replying to: nissmazlover (Jun 13, 2008 8:27 am) A notice to everyone on this thread - don't disagree with nissmazlover, he can't handle the fact that SOME people do prefer the Rondo over the Mazda5. Delusion or not. I have had enough of his insulting demeanor to those of us who purchased and (am I allowed to say it nissmazlover?) enjoy our Rondos. You want me to refute your points? They are your OPINIONS, not points. Opinions cannot be refuted, since Opinions are not wrong or right. Just like my opinions. Ooops, sorry, I am not supposed to have an opinion. And yes, my original reply to you was indeed "tongue-in-cheek", as I too liked the M5 when I test drove it. It just did not suit the needs of my family. Or am I wrong there too? Nissmazlover, I love my Rondo and you love your M5. Leave it alone will ya?

Replying to: bgw (Jun 13, 2008 12:35 pm)  Sorry, didn't mean to upset you so much, bgw. Relax and enjoy the forum, as well as your Rondo. BTW, and this is not necessarily directed at you, but opinions CAN be wrong. Too much pc-ness can get ridiculous. What if some Kia owner out there thought that his Optima with leather seating was just as as luxurious as an S Class? Would his opinion be wrong? Of course. He would be entitled to his preference, but his opinion would still be wrong. Better is better regardless of preference. |

Replying to: maltb (Jun 13, 2008 9:47 am) You're right, I don't see a reason as to why the 5 wouldn't be able to tow, considering many small economy cars out there can.
