My New (ish) car




Dave sent me an email link on Friday, and we drove it home that night! We were happy to get rid of the Maxima (it served us well, but was beginning to need a lot of repairs, which sucks when you are still making large payments on it).
It's a 2008 Mazda 5 with only 20000 miles on it. We bought the extended warrenty too. Since it seats 6, we will have it for awhile. I love it! It drives and parks like a car, but is super roomy inside like an SUV. While it has sliding doors, it is far from a mini-van. Car and Driver puts it in a class all of its own; It's not a cross-over, or even a small SUV. We are excited to have a 'new' car but even more excited about a lower interest rate!

Ummm... looks like a mini van to me :) It's always fun to get a new car! Where did you get the UofA car seat cover? I LOVE it!

Accept your mini-van-ness. It's fantastic. Enjoy!

you just need to see it next to other cars- it's actually quite small

Nice, I like it! We're looking around too, but we have to sell our tahoe first, so it will probably be awhile

It's a mini-mini-van! Very cuts.
