If you want something CRV size, but with more sport. Wat about the Mazda 5? It's based on the 3, with sliding doors like a minivan, and even has three row seating, but it is NOT a minivan. When I test drove one, I liked it alot. It wasn't as sport tuned as the CSVT, but made up for that with all the extra room. The price was unbelivable: $18K, with every option available, including automatic (It was for the wife), sunroof, and navigation!

If only this 6'8" body of mine fit into it a little better. The only place I could actually sit in the car was the Drivers seat.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the engine is the 3s engine.



yeah, I saw one of those on the lot. nice looking. I can't bring myself to graduate to the 'minivan' quite yet. The crv interested me because of milage, reliability, resale, and the 4-wheel drive (sometimes you don't want to shovel 2 feet of snow to get out of your laneway in the mornings . I am still hoping the turbo 3 will become a reality before I break down and buy something else.....:(
