How is the 3rd seat? We looked at a Mazda MPV in 2004 but my wife thought the 3rd seat was extremely uncomfortable for anyone except perhaps smaller children. Bought a Short wheelbase T&C instead.

I am dying to see the Mazda5 next time I get back to the states. I like the idea of the smallish people mover vehicles, but the ones I see over here in Korea are pretty frumpy looking. There's almost no chance of me seeing one here...the only inroads non-Korean cars have made into the Korean market have been by luxury or specialty vehicles...Mazda doesn't even bother to try to sell cars here because of the nearly 80% price increase due to import taxes and customs fees.Yours looks sweet! But you gotta get those windows tinted...black vehicles look great with dark tinted windows.

It looks too minivanish, full of compromise instead of innovation.

As long as they are expressed in the correct way IMHO there's no problem with that.I didn't think it was a minivan though, it ends up looking like a compact wagon...

It's a nice minivan. But I am totally jelous of that garage. If I put a car in my garage I can only open the door far enough for my arm to get out.

Yeah I would sooo like to have a garage that big! Lots of room to work on the car indoors instead of outdoors with the elements interfering.As for the car, the first thing that came to my mind was "bubble car". It looks too roundish... like an egg or something. I don't really know though. I'd have to look at the interior and take it for a test drive to really see if I like it.But having three rows of seats for under $20k, that's pretty good!

That's actually pretty nice looking george. Never got to check one out up close at the last auto show. Can you get some shots of the rest of it? Back end, front end, interior?

I will be building/buying a house in the summer, one of my requirements is a two door two stall garage, the other is a room in the basement big enough to play pool on without any crowding.
