no way man ... the $40k 3.0L tdi

 

I'm kind of intrigued with the Mazda 5 as well but I'm not sure I want to pay $20K for a Mazda. Not to mention, it's only available with a tiny 4 cyl.

 

Guy a t work has the speed version. It hauls ***.

 

yeah the mazda 5 is just a hatchback mazda 3 isn't it? decent cheap car, my buddy that works where i used to work has both the 3 and 6 and likes them .... i don't think it is very roomy though ....

 

No, this is a minivan, kinda. Sliding doors, second row buckets and a third row seat.

 

 

 

ah yeah ... if i was gonna go minivan it would be the honda

 

 

dang that 3.0L touareg has 405 ft/lb of torque

 

This is a lot smaller than most minivans.

what are you gonna plow the driveway with? Or pull trailers?

 

There was another tax credit that applied to gasoline vehicles as well.

 

dang turbo and intercooler and that thing would haul ***

 

i made a purpose built caliper spreader using a big threaded shaft when i was a kid. still have it ant it still works perfectly. but still not as easy as a pry bar

 

Pull trailers with my jeep or the once or twice a year that I pull heavy ****, I can use a 3/4 or 1 ton from work. I don't plow my driveway.

 

if he got the tdi it would have the torque to pull jet skis & motorcycles no problem

 

I'm not looking at a mazda speed3.
