One last favor to all of the Mazda5 lovers. Please remember you own a Mazda5.
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.

Agreed, this used to be an interesting thread, I hope more factual opinions eventually come back in the future (and some pics too)...

"I would need to buy both of them and drive separately to get my kids somewhere."
 
Are they children or sardines? Poor little guys.

They actually love the Rondo. The twins sit in back and have plenty of room, and love the folding seats and cupholders.
 
The car is actually quite convenient, I am surprised about one thing... I'm only getting mid twenties in MPG. Anyone have experience on how long break in should be?
 
Thanks. (time to be serious and not tease the Mazda guys... they get sensitive.

thats the problem with this forum, you don't get the persons location or what they drive with each posting.
 
Glad to hear you enjoy your Rondo, I do too.
 
with regards to your question: "I'm only getting mid twenties in MPG. Anyone have experience on how long break in should be? "
 
to more accurately answer this we need to know where you are located (are we talking US gallons or imperial gallons) and also what size of engine you have.

(this info should post automatically with each post)

The sensitive Mazda guys don't wanna discuss MPGs of yippity-yuppity Rondos on this thread either, so look what I found:

Seriously though, do you really haul a wife and 5 children in your Rondo?

Yes, we sure do. They fit easily, enjoy the ride, etc. We are putting in a video player this weekend, and can haul about 8 bags of groceries if it is full of kids.
But who wants to shop with 5 kids.
 
Its a very versatile car.

Kudos to you if that works. I have 4 kids (8-14) and my Mazda5 just got too tight. Yes, there was seating space for all, but little room for anything else.

Sales up this year by radar1

Today's Wall Street Journal reports sales are higher for the Mazda5 and Rondo. Seems like high gas prices are making these more popular as a replacement for larger vehicles.
"A few vehicles that were once considered strange -- such as those that combine elements of minivan and car -- are enjoying a sales renaissance. Examples of models that have suddenly surged in popularity include the van-like Mazda5, up 46%, and tall wagons like Hyundai Motor Co.'s Kia Rondo, which more than doubled, and the Toyota Matrix, up 56%."
