YACT, thinking about getting either

[CPA]

a Mazda6 or a Mazda Protege5. Your thoughts.

Customer ratings on edmunds are pretty good for both, both have pretty good deals going on right now. Won't need to fit all 6 of us in either at one time, maybe 5, but we will use the other vehicle if all 6 need to go out.

On looks alone, I like it more than the Protege5.

Good enough reason for me.

6>5

6 people? I have an Avalanche and I feel sorry for the 6th person in my truck. Neither Mazda will carry 5 or 6 comfortably.

RX8 > 6 > 5

Id get the 6 hands down. The RX-8 is nice, but I wouldn't buy one this year. Id wait till their second year of productions to give mazda engineers time to work out the bugs.

The i model with leather and some other goodies. We just need a fuel efficient vehichle for work and back and the occassional picking up the 4 kids. the Explorer Sport Trac is just not cutting it on the fuel efficiency side.

If you can afford to wait, the protege5 replacement, Mazda3 wagon looks pretty cool..

Protege 5? Wait for the Mazda 3!!! Just another couple of months!

Great info on the Mazda 3
