Replying to: conwelpic (Jun 19, 2008 11:52 am) In addition to common sense when actually driving/comparing the two, there exist professional reviews in which automotive journalists laud the 5 over Rondo. Many where they "by the way" mention the Rondo as another alternative to the 5, but the 5 remains their first choice in this very limited genre. I guess Edmunds is just gonna have to do a comparison test between the two and it'll settle it.  Alright, Karen, end of subject for me. I was under the impression that in a Mazda5 VS. Kia Rondo forum a Mazda 5 owner would actually be able to express his opinions as to why the 5 is better than a Rondo. Would make sense. Otherwise, why even have such a forum? Why not just have Rondo specific forums and Mazda 5 specific forums and leave it at that? Why even have a VS forum where opposing views aren't allowed? I digress. |

Replying to: nissmazlover (Jun 19, 2008 8:26 am) Good Lord, the M5 is a better car than the Rondo? Yes, I bought it and yes, it is a better car for me. But the M5 is NOT a better car than the Rondo. You, sir, are not using reasoning. I am not absolutely sure that you know what reasoning is! You are simply shouting down those of us who have a differing opinion than you. Tell me, empirically, how the M5 is a better car than the Rondo. Don't give us your opinions about how you feel it rides, drives, etc. That's your opinion, not reasoning. Who gave you the ability to decide what is better and what is not? I don't hear any other M5 owners ranting about how other cars are lesser vehicles. I take your point about 80's Excels vs Corollas, but I had a 1991 Civic Si that was the worst car I have ever owned. Absolute garbage. Nissmazlover states "Better car than the M5? Definitely not, regardless of your criteria or preference." Hmm, regardless of my criteria or preference? But obviously not regardless of yours, eh? As for Rondo vs M5, you cannot empirically say the Rondo is better or the M5 is better. They are too close in all respects. Anyway, KarenS, I give up on trying to talk sense with this fellow, as I am only going to be shouted down again. My points were simply that the Rondo is a better choice for some people and that the M5 is a better choice for some people, and then this egomaniac called Nissmazlover tries to shove HIS opinions down our throats without a care for OUR opinions. And he has the gall to complain that his opinions are not being heard? Egad. Yes, let's gets back to sane, sensible discussions about the vehicles, not how some of us are delusional for buying a solid, sensible, economical and enjoyable car to meet our needs. God, how could we ever actually do something stupid like that? |

This video summarizes well it seems. The Rondo is also mentioned at the end... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFxPV7hc4Tw Note: I do believe there is a mistake. 2008 comes with 5AT, not 4AT |

Replying to: coolmazda5 (Jun 16, 2008 6:40 am) Don't bang your head, everyone has the right to have the wrong opinion on cars. You just appear to have made that choice twice! (Lighten up, its just a forum) |

Replying to: bunchakids (Jun 24, 2008 5:33 am) It is a wonderful vehicle. But the following is an M5, not your Mazda5. Please don't insult the pedigree, beauty, and performance of such a machine stealing its name. http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/Vehicles/2008/M/M5Sedan/default.aspx
