Replying to: coolmazda5 (Jan 06, 2009 5:12 pm) 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 Replies to this message: bgw (Jan 07, 2009 8:04 am)

Replying to: vg33e power (Jan 07, 2009 7:37 am) 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.

Replying to: coolmazda5 (Dec 31, 2008 6:46 pm) 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!

Replying to: conwelpic (Dec 31, 2008 2:24 pm) You've had yours awhile now, are you still liking it? You've never experienced that pulling issue with yours, have you? Replies to this message: conwelpic (Feb 03, 2009 4:44 pm) bgw (Feb 04, 2009 8:12 am)
#627 of 800 NADAguides 2009 award goes to.....Mazda5 and Rondo! by radar1 Feb 03, 2009 (4:00 pm)
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.   John Replies to this message: bobw3 (Feb 04, 2009 12:35 pm)

Replying to: irismg (Jan 11, 2009 2:07 pm) 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.

Replying to: conwelpic (Feb 03, 2009 4:44 pm) 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!

Replying to: radar1 (Feb 03, 2009 4:00 pm) While I agree that the Mazda5 & Rondo are good, did you seem some of the other NADA winners...Aveo, Cobalt, HHR, etc...these vehicles have been rated as junk everywhere else. Maybe it's just me, but after glancing through the list it seems like someone at NADA really want to put American vehicles on the list.   And some of their category winners are hard to follow...eg, the top Crossover under $21K is the Vibe and Caliber...how are these crossovers and the Rondo is a wagon? And then the Calibur is the #1 SUV under $24K (so it's a CUV and SUV) and the Mazda Tribute is #2 with the RAV4 as #4. So while I like the Mazda5 and Rondo, a lot of the ratings here are crazy.
