I have a carbon gray touring mazda5. My wife always said it looks like a taller "fit" and it does. The 06's didnt have the 5 sp in that year, but we have a auto and get about 22city 27 hwy... its the same engine as the mazda3.

it is very versatile, all the seats fold down..seats 6..mainly for kids in the rear...its probably the best looking "mini" van around..though in my title its listed as a wagon. we didnt trade our space wagon cuz its a great hauler for big things we cant fit in our cars.

i love the projector headlights on the car...wish the fit had it

Still need to actually drive one though.

The lady who bought my Fit ended up trading it back in a month later for a Mazda5. According to the sales guy she said the Fit was just too small for her. I think the Mazda looks a lot like a Fit, but grown up - we have a micro-minivan, and that is a mini-minivan. I love the Fit but I guess if I thought I had to have more room, the Mazda5 would be on the list of possibilities.
