We considered a Mazda5 and eliminated it when we had to haul 5 people and their stuff to the airport in a rented one. We could take 3 people and all the stuff or leave stuff behind. (They really didn't need all the stuff they were taking...hmmph. Women.) They took my Dad's F150 instead. It's the right vehicle for a young family of four or five. But when you're married to a Hispanic woman, all her in laws need transport too :P

It still gets bonus points for having stick, though.
