Didn't think I would ever poke my head in here again after all of that noise a few months ago or whenever that was (when some dude was flame-baiting Rondo owners), but I found an article that's very relevant to this thread, which is the first ever "Rondo vs. Mazda5" article I've seen from an American website. I've posted links before to comparison articles from the Canadian press--adventurous types can try searching this thread for those links.   The Truth About Cars: 2008 Kia Rondo EX vs. 2009 Mazda5 GT Replies to this message: coolmazda5 (Sep 18, 2008 1:51 pm) maltb (Sep 18, 2008 4:23 pm) riproy (Sep 18, 2008 7:14 pm)

Replying to: medicineman (Sep 17, 2008 4:28 pm) That article makes a very good point: If you are 6'3", your choices suck. - - - - - - - - - - I know, it doesn't suck, but that word made my statement. I guess I'm just glad that I stopped at 5'10" so I could enjoy a Mazda5 for a while. Replies to this message: riproy (Sep 18, 2008 7:14 pm)

Replying to: maltb (Sep 18, 2008 4:23 pm) I am 6'3" and i am OK in the Mazda5. Could i use a little more leg room? Yes. Do i need it? No. I don't think i would buy this car if i was any taller. The passenger side is even worse.

a big surprise this month as the Rondo outsold the Mazda 5 quite extensively:   Rondo: 1,087 with YTD of 7,323 (this now brings it to over 15,000 units since its introduction to North America in November 2006. Mazda 5: 747 with YTD of 9,757   (just viewed the 2009 Rondo and picked up the '09 brochure) Replies to this message: coolmazda5 (Sep 22, 2008 7:26 am)
#570 of 803 Typical trip to the beach by coolmazda5 Sep 21, 2008 (7:33 pm)
...before gets too cold in this area   Road sightings during the weekend:   6 Rondo "Minivans" (multiple colors and trims), 3 seemed rentals (could see the barcode on the left rear window and usually no rear license plate frame). No kids in any of them   Zero Mazda5s   232 Camrys   Seen more Rondos on the road on a daily basis, starts looking an ubiquitous car at least in my area

Replying to: conwelpic (Sep 19, 2008 2:58 pm) KIA Canada seems to be cashing on the fact that Mazda CA cannot get enough Mazda5s in inventory, good for KIA...
#572 of 803 Trunk space by nastacio Sep 26, 2008 (5:04 pm)
Can one fit a regular stroller at the back of either Mazda5 or Kia Rondo, with the 3rd row seat still up? Replies to this message: coolmazda5 (Sep 26, 2008 5:28 pm)
#573 of 803 Re: Trunk space [nastacio] by coolmazda5 Sep 26, 2008 (5:28 pm)
Replying to: nastacio (Sep 26, 2008 5:04 pm) For special occasional use, yes, but tightly if its a big one. I say occasional because it is not the ideal thing to do IMO (see pics). Now, if you have a small folding portable stroller, not a problem (so to give you an idea, the space at the bottom can fit a golf bag)
