Price of the Mazda Mazda5: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Cheap. Very good value.
2010 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 0% 72 MONTHS HERE IN CANADA
2009 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The price was/is reasonable. Far lower than the much bigger, much less fun to drive Toyota Sienna or Honda Oddessy. Plus, I got $2,000 cash back direct from Mazda at the end of April, 2009.
2009 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Can get a full load of options for around the same cost as the base of models with comparable size and quality.
2008 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Within my budget - the same or much cheaper than other cars with seating for 6 or 7 people.
2008 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Low sticker, good base features and high resale makes this a cheap ride.
2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Hard package to beat for 20k well-equipped
2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Despite extra cargo room and versatility, price is close to that of the smaller Mazda 3. Even the base model is very well optioned.
2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Excellent value for money - 18k for 6 seater car with climate control, sunroof, auto.
2006 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Competitive pricing compared to the similarly sized KIA and perhaps the Matrix/Vibe.

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Not a bad value, but the Chevy HHR was $2000 less and had 15,000 fewer miles.

2006 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8
6-speed automatic RWD		 With discounts it is very reasonably priced for what you get.
2006 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8
6-speed automatic RWD		 Lots of car for the money.
2005 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 Great value. Bad for Ford, great for us.
2004 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 With the incentives, buying this SUV felt like I was getting a huge bargain. By my 5th year of ownership, I felt like I got ripped off based on the cost to maintain this vehicle.
Price of the Ford Explorer: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2002 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 Too expensive in the market compared to more reliable trucks available like Honda Pilots.
