Our new Mazda5

Kind of same as the old car, but much, much smaller.



It speaks to the inner-tuner in me. Or as my hair person said today, "it's urban." I think she meant it as a compliment.

It's on the top 20 list of cars cheapest to insure, gets the highest gas mileage of any other minivan (if you can even call it a minivan), and it's on the auto site Jalopnik's approved list of boring cars that might still be a little fun. All I know is that the air conditioning isn't failing and it's warrantied for years and years, unlike the last couple of "preowned" cars we've had.
