i would NEVER get a Mazda. pfft, how can you even suggest that? :\



wth? a chrysler?! lmao. those people are not even in the same social class as honda drivers.

Ok, I'll make sure to tell my chrysler-owning buddies at the country club that honda isn't good enough for them anymore.

ever shopped honda vans????

I bought an '09 honda in oct of 09 when the 10's where on the lot... mine was new. I looked at comparable models that were 2007 and 2008 model yrs used with anywhere from 35-45k miles on them...... they were about 4 grand less than what I was paying for a brand new van. so if you want to save 10 grand on a honda, you will have to wait till they are 5-7 yrs old and have upwards of a 100k or more miles on them

Yeah, used hondas probably hold their value as a % better than any other manufacturer, largely because they have such tiny/nonexistent incentives on the new ones. When you get a 5000 rebate on your tundra, what does that do to the used 2010 tundras on the market?

BTW, selling used hondas is a real PITA. I've generally felt over the years that used hondas are among the hardest to profit on by selling retail. Over the past year I've actually tracked our profits from different makes. What's our lowest one? Honda at $300 per unit profit RETAIL.

2011 odys were hit in the back with the ugly stick

this - go for a Sienna... they're hot for a minivan.

The Mazda5 is really just a Mazda3 with two sliding doors and 200 extra pounds of weight. It's basically like driving a mazda3 with a fat guy in the back seat 😛

We were in the market for one and I sat in all 3 rows. It wasn't too bad but there is no trunk space to speak of. Not bad for its price and especially if you need to haul that many humans. Tried to get it during cash-for-clunkers but guess what... THEY WERE OUT OF STOCK.
