This is a shame I've heard nothing but good things about it.

I always thought it was one of the ugliest cars on the road.

Sorry to ruin the positive reputation. This is the internet, so I had to be negative.

I shopped for used manual ones a few years back. Not easy to find, but found a few out there. My wife didn't care for it, so I changed my vehicle search. They are a bit cramped for taller drivers.

I heard this a long time ago but it's pretty much a done deal, nothing we can do. I'd like to see a mainstream auto manufacturer make a three row wagon again. Mazda would be well suited for this.

I drove one from Columbus, OH to Indy on a business trip, and it was quite good. 8/10 would buy for a miniminivan

I ain't even mad. The way it looks doesn't matter it is a tool.

The Nagare theme really looks shit on it, I liked the first gen better. But Mazda hampered it with old tech, dated engines and transmissions, and is just letting it die.

It's a fun little car, I had a 2006, and would have liked to see a Kodo themed 2015, but.... yeah. Not a shocker its deaded.

I had two requirements when I bought my last car- 1) it must be a box on wheels, and 2) it must have a manual transmission. My 2012 Mazda5 met these two requirements and has been a pleasure to own. But what am I going to do when it comes time to replace it?
