Update to my previous post.
The guy at Nissan f'ed up, and it's actually either a 3500 dollar rebate, but you take the car in cash or finance at 4.99%. Or you take the 0% financing at a maximum term of 84 months. Sounded too good to be true.
That being said, I test drove the Mazda CX5, and was remarkably impressed. The interior is by far the best out of all of the ones I drove. It didn't feel cheap or too over the top. It was very fluid and easy to understand and use. The drive, I was a little skeptical at first due to the 155hp in the 2.0L engine, however, it had just as much get up and go as the Rogue or Ford Escape. It was also a dream to drive in terms of handling, similar to the Ford. The sales guy mentioned that with Mazda's SkyActiv technology, it reduces the weight, more importantly increases the aerodynamics and decreases friction to achieve these sort of results. I'm a believer after trying it out.
All in, it should cost around 36k, with 0% financing. I will be getting one this weekend most likely.
