Hi there,
Rookie here, great website and great forum btw. Ok here it goes.
We have a daughter (1 year old) and we planned on having one more child by the end of 2007 (than thats it!). We currently have a 05 Accord thats been trouble-free but are now thinking of possibly switching to something a little more practical, specifically when it comes to carrying cargo. A new 5 would agree with our budget but we are also considering a used CR-V, 6 Wagon and Subaru Forester and Legacy Wagon. Here are some of my concerns:
Coming from a 4-door Accord, would I see a noticeable difference in practicality and cargo carrying capacity with a 5 (3rd row folded)? For those that came from a typical mid-size sedan, I would love to hear comments?
With the 3rd row folded, would the 5 hold more cargo than the 3 vehicles listed above (CR-V, 6 wagon, Forester,Legacy wagon)?
I would like to hear from previous owners of these vehicles as well. Im also confused with the specs on cargo capacity on both Mazda websites (Canada & US). Does anyone know what the official number is with the 3rd row folded. I have visited numerous websites and read many reviews, some say the capacity is 44 cu ft. with BOTH the 2nd and 3rd rows folded while others have it at 44 cu.ft. with only the 3rd row folded, I have also seen 15 cu.ft with the 3rd row folded.
Sorry for all the questions and I apologize if this was mention before.
Thanks a bunch
