If I could find on stock with low miles I would buy it and just keep it in the garage.
They are the most amazing cars ever made. ;)
I owned a 3 years ago and really like it , but you are correct it is no MP3.
I drive a Mazda5 now. I do like the van/car thing a lot!!! Not sure I can ever go...
Here is my 2006 with 44K.
Just got this car a month ago and I LOVE IT! It will work great with the twins that are on the way.
Figured I would throw in a pic of the wifes VooDoo Blue Release Series XB with the 5 after their bath/wax.
Living in Texas we get hail damage during this time. In fact we had a storm come through last night that had mellon/softball size hail. (I was an hour away from it so my cars are good.)
I had my Protege Mazdaspeed at work a couple years ago and it got into a hail storm. Took it to a body repair...
Got my first numbers in since having the car

Just a tad over 25mpg (50/50 mix between city and highway) on this fillup. Will update if I take it on a road trip.
Not bad and glad I went with the Mazda5 over the MPV. Just seems to fit me better. ;)
I say drive the ZO6 for as long as you can. I know you don't care for American cars but you can get a corvette at a good price, gas millage is not bad, and they are not hard to work on. Plus it would be great for the image and a nice date night car. That is what I would get if I was looking for...
Figured I would give an update on things so far.
First I noticed that what this thing lacks in HP it totally makes up for in cup holders. I have more cup holders in this thing for everyone to have 2 if all seats are full. ;)
I got the DVD player working so that is good. Still working on the...

Thanks!

I will have to shoot you a PM and see where in DFW you are at! Having another Mazda5 guy close would be nice to shoot stuff off of.
1) Figure I will try to get it working, if not I need to find something to cover the whole.
3.) Let me know what you are asking for it. Does it play CD's. I...
I went ahead and bought it! I am now a Mazda5 owner.
Getting it all cleaned up and then I will look at the next steps.
Order of projects:
1.) Get DVD player going (May be a fuse)
2.) Get Homelink mirror to open my garage.
3.) Figure out if I am going to get a new CD player of live with no CD...
Carfax runs clean but yes there is a ding in the rear there. I think it can be popped out pretty easy.
I am guessing when that happened the just had the rear bumper repainted/replaced also.
It was an older guys so I am guessing he backed into something.
Mechanical it sounds good and runs...
