My coworker has one and loves it to death (big time car enthusiast as well) for what it is. From what I understand though the third row is uncomfortable for adults and eliminates a lot of storage but is a nice addition to have. Cool thing about it is that its footprint isnt any longer than most mid-full size sedans and it drives more or less liek a car. He was bummed that mazda didnt offer the remote power sliding doors like they do in japan. Oh, he also imported a set of coilovers for the car too and a lot of the components are shared with the mazda3. Yes, the subject of the ms3 engine swap came up, but what's the point right?
For what it is I think it's awesome and if I needed a vehicle that seated more than 5 that would be at the top of my list.
