#5 of 6 Prius..YUCK! by w00000t Oct 25, 2007 (7:19 pm)
I'm sorry but I think the Toyota Prius is just about the ugliest thing on the planet next to that Scion XB....
#6 of 6 Mazda5 due to Year, Warranty and Miles... by coolmazda5 Oct 26, 2007 (3:23 am)
The Mazda5 still has warranty left (it is 4yrs/50K for the 2006 model I believe), plus the miles on that thing are really low. Yeah, I'm assuming there are benefits on the Toyota Prius over the Mazda5 (hybrid at least) but the year/model may not help the cause. If both were brand new, then I would do a more careful comparison. If you go for the Mazda5, just ensure that the recalls have been applied already to save trips to the dealer (check with the owner or w/ the VIN against the www.MazdaUSA.com database)
