Fuel mileage is much better than the F150. 4WD for getting around in the Winter. Good little family vehicle.

Only one vehicle. That's tough when the two of you are going two directions.

We had just the truck far a year before we bought the Mazda. It was tough but we made it work. Wife was staying at home with the little one then.
