Shoot me now

I'm going to buy a Mazda5 sub-minivan. Please, someone shoot me.

Its not that I'm even all butthurt over buying a minivan, but how completely gutless it is. I tested it, punch the gas pedal and it makes a lot of noise as it shift and then it does nothing, goes no where. Its like being a bad dream where you're trying to run or fight but your limbs move as though you're in a vat of molasses... except... THIS IS REAL!

Look at that picture! How cool is that?!

I voted supercool because I have a Mazda 5, actually it's my wife's car. It's gutless yes, but for a mini-mini van, it handles very well since it came from the Mazda 3. I'm actually driving it daily since it gets much better gas milage than my STi, 27 vs 20.

Even though it's slow, just make your turns much faster than normal to make up the difference.

That's what I voted! Sad, so sad.

At least the '08 interior is as schwingy as the MS3... and WAY nicer than the WRX... though that's not saying much!
