I take it neoender is a Kia Rondo owner???
 
...no thanks! I'll keep my Mazda5 over the Rondo anytime no matter the sales numbers. Lower Mazda5 sales numbers just means that there are less of us more fortunate to have our MZ5s

Hmmm vg33e_power, I feel that I am more fortunate to have my Rondo, having shopped the M5 and the Rondo together.
 
To each his/her own.

Yep, my 11 year-old Corolla has actually a pale green lighting - not quite as bold as the '07 Mazda5 you have pictured. Thanks for the pictures!
 
There's no way to adjust red - like Mazda3 has - to where it's pleasant. I've tried. It's like looking at brake lights all the time. I can live with the white gauges - Jeep has those kind.
 
I'm glad they're analog gauges - I rented a Yaris this summer and that digital fuel gauge was just about my undoing! Very bad idea.
 
I wish I could rent either one of them from Enterprise for the weekend, but they never have one in stock!

You've had yours awhile now, are you still liking it? You've never experienced that pulling issue with yours, have you?

NADAguides just released the 2009 award winners. Mazda5 was listed #1 in the "Top vans" category, while Rondo was listed as #2 in "Top Wagons" category. I know everyone has their favorite but they're both good vehicles; which is the best choice depends on your needs and desires.

Enjoy my Rondo very much a real pleasure to drive with now over 24,000km and 15 months of ownership. No problem with the pulling issue, that seems to have been mostly with V6 models (I have the 2.4L) and '07's.
It handles great in the snow with help from the ESC system. Still solid with no squeaks or rattles and no mechanical problems. The heated seats are fantastic along with heated side mirrors and wiper de-icer - ideal for our Canadian conditions.

Like Conwelpic, we are also enjoying our 07 Rondo EX V6,
No issues whatsoever, and no trouble with pulling to either side. Would definitely buy it again, if I had to go back.
We have almost 24,000 kms on our Rondo, bought in August 2007.
We are using studded winter tires on 15 inch rims with 65 series tires - noisy but needed in our weather in Newfoundland!
